As the calendar turns to March we look forward to the end of winter.  Winter?  Did we even have one of those this year?  We heard from many of you at the ProGreen EXPO that the mild weather and strong economy already have you on track for a very successful year ahead.  For over 20 years now we've been here to help you succeed and make money with water features!

In this month's newsletter we have a motivational article from Greg Wittstock, information on our spring seminars, announcement of a new True Pump team member and a couple great videos.

Happy Pondering,

The True Pump Team 

Change Your World by Changing Your Thermostat!
We wanted to share with you Greg Wittstock's blog post from February 6, 2017:

I just saw the movie "The Founder" chronicling the story of McDonalds and its "founder" Ray Kroc. It was a fascinating portrayal of a man who's own internal thermostat ran so hot it created an empire that spans the globe today.

Along the way the movie painfully portrays Ray Kroc stepping on a lot of peoples toes, including the lovable McDonald brothers who pioneered the fast food concept.

A lot of successful people, inadvertently or not, "step on toes" while sprinting full steam ahead towards whatever pursuit it is that fuels their drive. Most of the toes are occupied by people firmly standing in the same place who's internal thermostats are set at a comfortable 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. By definition most people achieve "average" success by setting, on purpose or by default, their internal drive at 98.6.
