“Enthusiasm

is one of the most powerful engines of success.

When you do a thing, do it with all your might.

Put your whole soul into it.

Stamp it with your own personality.

Be active, be energetic and faithful,

and you will accomplish your object.

Nothing great

was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”

Friday 7/24/15 Road trip to Scranton/Wilkes Barre, Up The Mountains!

Friday 7/24/15

Today I visited accounts I don’t see often.
They are about 2 hours away.
First stop was AV RESTRAUNT in Moosic, PA

Next appointment at the fancy Westmoreland club
in downtown Scranton. Who would think such
a cool place would be in this location?
( he bought a case of wine, fancy wines!)

next stop was Isabella’s.

Tracy (left) said she tries ordering as much
wine as she possibly can from ME. yessss.

Last stop Ruth’s Chris at Mohegan Sun Casino.

The buyer was sick & cancelled last minute.
I just left wine for him to taste.
He later bought a case of wine from me!

after driving 200 miles on Thursday &
150 already on Friday (and it was another 100 home)
I decided to stay at friends Roman & Denise’s house
which was close to where I was up the mountains.
