| Three years ago I sent
this letter out to my client base, partially as a tribute
to my dad, mostly as a reminder of what drives successful
small business. With the summer still warming our hearts,
I thought I would again share it with you. Have a great
summer!
The
story of a good anchor.
A
funny thing occurred to me recently. I am the father
of eight children, and have owned LMS for 27 years.
At age 52, I had started to think about all of the stories
and great advice my dad had given me. At age 92, my
dad continually reminds me that I have a lot to learn,
and my respect for his words and wisdom grow daily.
Let me share some of it with you.
Anchors are one of the most important things we can
own in life. Rather than bore you with my last 13 years
of sailing on Long Island Sound, I would rather talk
about how your business and life might benefit from
better anchors. You see, anchors are the people we connect
to, the ones we need to depend on, the ones that we
know will not bend or break when our needs and troubles
start to grow.
Anchors are our business associates we can trust, our
family that will always be there for us, and our friends
that have always been truthful. Anchors are hard to
find, and impossible to break. They help us during the
worse days of our lives, and standby during the good
times and build our confidence. We move forward and
take chances because of them, and we sleep easier knowing
they will never let us drift away.
What does this have to do with your computer network
and your business?
Success comes from finding business partners that will
always be there for you. The ones you can count on,
day or night, to answer the phone and give you a solution,
not a story. Your business partners must understand
that relationships require mutual trust. An anchor connected
to an anchor.
I want you to know this is the foundation of my business
and personal life. It is important that you know that
a relationship with LMS is one you can count on. We
have been the solid anchor for thousands of businesses
over the past quarter century. We deliver answers that
come when you need them and solutions that allow you
to prosper.
Anchors are heavy, cost money, and tend to be forgotten
until needed. Listen to my father and buy the best you
can afford. It will be one of the best investments you
ever make. Partner with people who will always be there
for you, to serve and protect your computer network
investment. A solid partner can really make a difference.

and stay safe, call today.
