Who have you touched?
Category: Business
Mrs. Ella Mae Cheeks Johnson, of Cleveland, Ohio, recently passed after having spent 106 years in this life. As a fellow church member, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Mrs. Johnson on numerous occasions and to share her philosophy of life. Just before her 99th birthday she reflected on her life in the following way, “I have had a wonderful life. God has been good to me. I’ve always tried to be a good Christian and help people in any way I could. The secret to a rich life is to have a passion for living, strong relationships with others and to be at peace with one’s self.”

Partnership positioned to become region’s premier distributors
Category: Business Written by Diane I. Daniels
Proud to be considered a minority- and veteran-owned business enterprise, the father and son team of Kenneth and Chad Elliott are looking forward to becoming a premier distributorship in the western Pennsylvania region. “We offer experience that puts us in a unique position, which will keep us ahead of the industry,” said 29-year-old Chad. He indicated that together he and his father offer more than 36 years experience in sales and 13 years in business management.
In 1997, Kenneth initiated his business by becoming an independent AMSOIL dealer. “I was introduced to the business but did not do anything with it,” he said. “Throughout the years I kept renewing the dealership. To day I am glad I did,” he said.

Success is not by accident
Category: Business Written by Farrah Gray
(NNPA)—In the context of tremendous change in the economy and labor market, many people are deciding that self-employment is the right choice for them. People work for themselves when there are too few jobs, or not the right kinds of jobs.
They work for themselves because they want to have more control over their working hours or their working conditions. People become self-employed when employer discrimination stifles their potential. In short, people work for themselves when they want and need what self-employment can offer that other employment cannot.
