Jim Toner on Helping People Succeed After Failure

In the economy there have been a lot of ups and downs. The market is always fluctuating and changing with the times. The very unfortunate part of the market is people get conflicting information that may not be beneficial and even harmful for their finances. Many people have lost all their retirement and savings due to bad decisions based on untrue information.

As a real estate investor and entrepreneur for over 25 years, Jim Toner knows a lot about how the market operates. He has been through it all, the ups and downs, and has come back with a renewed sense of purpose. Since Jim has been in the real estate and financial industry for decades now, he is able to spot trends and shifts in the market. Toner foresees that the next five years there will be lots of financial abundance to take advantage of. Jim Toner (@thejimtoner) wants to prepare readers to take advantage of this period of time.

First, you must have the right attitude about the market or you won’t succeed. The difference between successful people and others is how they look at things. When poor people think something is a problem and feel defeated, successful people see it as a challenge they can tackle. Successful people see way more opportunities and jump on them. Real estate entrepreneur Jim Toner says to be successful, you have to be healthy and balanced mind, body, and soul. When people get regular exercise, eat a health diet, and take care of their mental health they will have better odds of success. They will be able to utilize their energy, have more of it, and be mentally clear to make important decisions. A lot of people are afraid of failure, and it is natural to feel that way. Everyone fails in their life. Toner said, successful people use their failures as learning experiences and grow from them. Poor people use their failures as an excuse to not try again. If you do fail, pick yourself up, brush yourself off, and start again. Successful people never give up until they succeed. Jim has had plenty of failures in life but persevered.

Steve Ritchie Looks to Improve Papa John’s Image

Papa John’s new CEO Steve Ritchie faced a public relations nightmare when he took over the company. Thankfully, he was able to prevent what could have been a disaster for the company with a well-crafted letter he wrote to Papa John’s customers. Steve Ritchie began his career with Papa John’s in 1996 as a $6 an hour customer service representative. Ten years later, he became a Papa John’s franchise owner and operator. According to Wikipedia, in 2014, Steve Ritchie was promoted to Chief Operating Officer, then he became president of the company in 2015. He was added to the company’s succession plan later that year.

Steve Ritchie’s letter to Papa John’s customers addresses several issues that occurred before he took over the company and how he plans to correct these issues moving forward. First, he points out that racist or any of type of insensitive language is unacceptable at any level in the company. Second, he points out that Papa John’s is not an individual, but a team of over 120,000 corporate and franchise employees around the world. Third, Steve Ritchie said he will be personally involved in helping to regain the trust of the customers. This includes auditing the company’s cultural diversity and inclusion practices, getting feedback from franchisees and employees, and having corporate transparency. You can also know more about Steve by visiting his profile on Bloomberg.com.

The most important aspect of Steve Ritchie’s letter to Papa John’s customers is that he apologizes to the customers. He had previously written an open letter that was posted on Papa John’s website that did not have an explicit apology. The second letter to the customers had the apology that was needed for this situation, showed a level of empathy that was missing in the first letter, and laid out the steps that will be taken to rectify this situation. Steve Ritchie also showed a willingness to be held accountable for what happens to the company. This second letter is a step toward improving Papa John’s brand and image.

Adam Milstein Writes About Jewish Pride

Adam Milstein, the well respected Jewish philanthropist and activist, is also a well known writer. He writes for major Jewish publications, such as the Times of Israel. In a recent article on the Times of Israel blog, Adam Milstein wrote that pride and courage are the two biggest gifts we can give to our children.

He talked about the Maccabees. The Maccabees is the name for a group of Jews during the time of the second Temple. The Greeks had decreed that the Jews should be forbidden to conduct their religious ceremonies. The Maccabees were just a small group of Jews, but they did not shy away from standing up for their rights and their way of living. In the miracle that is celebrated by Jews every year on Hanukkah, the Maccabees managed to defeat the Greeks, even though the Greeks had a much larger army than them.

Adam Milstein says that we have to emulate the Maccabees. We have to stand up for ourselves and for the Jewish people. We need to give over to our children the gifts that will help the Jewish people continue to exist and thrive.

The first of these gifts is pride. You have to have pride that you are Jewish. Adam Milstein says that when he grew up, he was proud to be a Jew. That is how he was raised. He wrote in the Times of Israel that if you can not be proud of your heritage, you will find no reason to stand up for yourself and to continue in the traditions that have kept the Jewish people alive for so many years. That is why we need to install pride in our children. We need to teach them how to be good Jews. We need to show them how fortunate they are to be Jewish. This way, they will continue our tradition and keep the flame alive. We also have to install in our children a sense of pride about the State of Israel. After all, it was founded against all odds, despite all the things that stood in its path.

How OSI Food Solutions Doubled Their Chicken Production

Feeding the world the food they want is not an easy job. And there is one food solutions company that has helped millions of people get the food they want, anywhere around the world. That company, OSI Food Solutions, has expanded aggressively, which includes recently doubling their chicken production.

So how did this food solutions company quickly double their chicken production? It all started when OSI Food Solutions acquired the Tyson Chicken Plant just outside of Chicago. Offering to keep many of the staff from the Tyson chicken plant, OSI Food Solutions was able to quickly convert the plant to meet their needs and double chicken production for their own company.

The acquisition of the Tyson Chicken Plant was one of just many moves OSI Food Solutions has made to bring more people the food they want. By supplying everyone from supermarkets to convenience stores and restaurants, OSI Food Group supplies everything from fresh meat to deli foods, prepared foods, and other supermarket items.

In addition to the Tyson Food Plant acquisition, OSI Food Solutions has acquired Baho Food – a Dutch food company as well as Flagship Europe. The Baho Food and Flagship Europe acquisitions have helped OSI Food Solutions expand their operations to the European markets.

OSI Food Solutions got their start over a century ago when German immigrant Otto Kolschowsky opened a meat market in Oak Pak, Illinois. Mr. Kolschowskywas able to quickly expand his small business and in 1928, the company renamed itself Otto & Sons. The newly named Otto & Sons quickly expanded across the Midwest. However, it was a fateful meeting with McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc that turned this Midwest meat supplier into an international powerhouse. Using a new cryogenic food processing technique, Otto & Sons were able to ship meat patties to McDonald’s locations across the country. Today, OSI Food Solutions continues a century-long tradition of bringing fresh food to the biggest food sellers around the globe.

From acquisitions to innovation, OSI Food Solutions has become the food supplier of choice to thousands of supermarkets, convenience stores and restaurants around the world. As more people seek a diversity of fine foods, OSI Food Solutions will be ready to deliver.
