The new 2009 looms ahead... does the coming year fill you with trepidation, or encouragement?

Regardless of the global conditions that constantly assaults us with negativity (courtesy of a variety of talking heads, financial wizards, and inept politicians), the way in which the New Year treats us is going to be extremely dependent upon how we deal with the opportunities and challenges with which we are presented.

Maintaining a positive attitude is sometimes the most difficult course of action to take when dealing with a lost account, job layoffs, disappointing earnings, and more. This is where the substance of those who comprise our industry can shine... remain upbeat. Do all in your power to ensure your success and the success of your companies. Strive to promote ethical business and professional behavior, as such positives truly do become infectious. Those around you, from family to business associates to employees, will be affected by your attitude — spread the delight, not the trite.

When you soar with satellites, when you experience the power of a launch, when you assist in developing and producing communication channels for clients through superior technologies, when work ethics of the highest caliber are at the center of your projects—you WIN.

SatNews Publishers wishes all of our readers and subscribers the thrill of a New Year in which much positive activity will occur. We hope everyone, regardless of industry segment, enjoys profitable experiences in your personal and business lives. We also thank you for supporting our efforts in maintaining our connection with you, and in producing information you can use to maintain and attain... a Happy New Year to all!
