Updating Your Image Published: 18.11.2008 | Author: kayemarks | Category: Advertising Cheap Xabi Alonso Jersey , Business, Marketing Ever sat around with some friends and gone over what was popular back when you were younger? Depending on your age you might go over the tie-dye, laid back look of the sixties, the bellbottom Cheap Tom Starke Jersey , platform shoes look of the seventies, or maybe the techno, wildly colored hair and shoulder pads of the eighties.
I could go on and on. Every society is filled with looks and styles that were once what everyone wore and are now looked back on as a silly, dated appearance no one would bother to touch these days.
How much of this is true for your company?
Every company is going to evolve over the years. If you don鈥檛 than you aren鈥檛 likely to be in business for very long. Odds are the internal workings of your company have changed considerably over the years to match the changes in society and give people what they need.
After all Cheap Timothy Tillman Jersey , the needs of each time period aren鈥檛 always the same, and if you want to stick around, you need to be able to provide people with something they can use.
But how much have you changed the outside of your company? The brand name that you got so strongly associated with you is going to have certain elements of the time period it was made during, and is your brand still stuck in the past?
There was a point in time when Apple computers were seen as a thing of the past. When computers were first becoming prominent all you saw were Apple computers taking over the market. They were the ones advertising the most and they were the ones using color printing to tell people about the wonders of their machines. Every school and business had one Cheap Thomas Muller Jersey , until Microsoft came along and swept
Suddenly the Apple computer looked dated. It was a mark of the beginning of the industry, and not where the industry had gone, until they revitalized their look with the Imac, and gave computers a sleek new image they鈥檇 never had before. Their brand name suddenly became fresh again.
Ask yourself what your brand name means. When you get your brochure printing done Cheap Thiago Alcantara Jersey , what are people saying when they see your brand name all over the front of them?
Being stuck in the past can be a great way for a company to sink itself very fast, and many companies that evolve with the times forget to update their face to the people. You can update your inner workings all you want, but the people on the streets aren鈥檛 likely to know a lot about it. They鈥檙e looking at your brand name.
You need to make sure that brand name stays up to date and never lags behind the times. Don鈥檛 let your brand name be something people talk about while rolling their eyes and the foolish things they liked when they were younger.

The moment you think you have gone as far as you can in the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment, a great mystery presents itself and allows the unanswered questions of life to expand.
Such a moment happened to me on the way to work the other night. I am thankful I have some time to ponder this unusual occurance.
Let me first say that one of my favorite books of all time is: "Autobiography of A Yogi" by Paramahandsa Yogananda. My mother purchased it the moment it was published in 1946 and bought a copy for all of her spiritualist friends.
It wasn't until 1993, during one of the worst illnesses of my life, when I contracted Whooping Cough (Pertussis)from a two month old infant who died from it Cheap Sebastian Rudy Jersey , that I enrolled in the Yogananda Self-Realization Fellowship Lessons.
A year later I was initiated in Kriya Yoga, the meditation discipline I practice to this day.
BaBaji was the guru of the guru of Yogananda's Guru.
From the Autobiography: "The northern Himalayan crags near Babrinarayar are still blessed by the living presence of BaBaji, guru of Lahiri Mahasaya. The secluded master has retained his physical form for centuries, perhaps even millenniums. The deathless BaBaji is an avatar. This sanscrit word means "descent;" its roots are ava Cheap Ron Thorben Hoffmann Jersey , "down" and tri "to pass." In the Hindu scriptures, avatara signifies the descent of Divinity into flesh.
"BaBaji's spiritual state is beyond human comprehension," Sri Yukteswer explained to Yogananda. "The dwarfed vision of men cannot pierce to his transcendental star. One attempts in vain to even picture the avatar's attainment. It is inconceivable."
Later on in the same chapter, these words:
"Whenever anyone utters with reverence the name of BaBaji Cheap Robert Lewandowski Jersey ," Lahiri Mahasaya said, "that devotee attracts an instant spiritual blessing."
For many years, I did not believe BaBaji would ever take the time to bless me. I figured many others would or could beam the BaBaji vibrations but I knew I had far too much doubt.
