Police said the owners were not home, though they did lose one cat during the fire.

"It's absolutely true that the market finds you. And it's not usually what you expected." –Becky Rohrer
WOW! Look at you! You have made it to the final stage and you've certainly come a long way. You have faced challenges head on and experienced what it is truly like to start a business, be an entrepreneur, hold yourself accountable, and maintain a balance for accomplishing your goals. If you don't quite feel like you are at this stage yet, it's okay. Try reading or rereading our previous blog post on stage one, stage two, and stage three of your emotional road to startup success.
The important thing that authors Abarbanel and Freeman tell us in their book, is to make sure you keep your momentum. This stage is exciting because you are starting to find that your business has started to develop its own rhythm; a unique pace that you have been looking for since the beginning when it seemed like a distant goal so long ago.
The authors explain in their book, "Birthing the Elephant," that over the next twelve months, you major goals should include the following:
- Gain a better sense of your business's rhythm.
- Let your market reveal itself to you.
- Take advantage of mentoring and build new alliances.
- Create a renewal strategy to prevent burnout.
What you'll expect to feel:
- Been there, done that blues
- Pedal-to-the-medal fatigue
- More confident
Key success strategies:
- Let your market find you
- Use downtime productively
- Push promotion to the next level
- Make renewal a priority
The "been there done that blues" may describe your day-to-day grind pretty accurately by now. You may be feeling more empowered than ever before but you may also be wondering, "where are my perks?!" Are you still working out of your garage, making dozens of phone calls, or stuffing envelopes (or something similar), yet you didn't imagine your "before" stage to look similar to the "after" stage? Heck, maybe you envisioned yourself as being featured in an Entrepreneur Magazine article by now! Don't worry–this is when you have to let your market find you. This is an organic natural process and it's important for you to let your business evolve rather than force it in the direction you think it needs to be going in your market. Remember to stay your course, and use those motivators you developed in earlier stages.
In addition to the "been there done that blues," you might also find yourself feeling "pedal-to-the-medal" fatigue. As a part of your expectations for the perks you should be getting by now, you are desperate to find the time to take it easy for a bit. However, right now your only option is to do the complete opposite and keep going full speed ahead. In this stage, it's critical that you take care of yourself as well as your business. If the empowered entrepreneur version of yourself is turning into a version that is taking a toll on you and your personal life, there are things you can do to help. This is what the authors call the strategy of making renewal a priority. This renewal strategy should be in line with setting the goal of bringing the personal and professional sides of your life into a better balance. Use the downtime you do have, productively for both you and for the relationships in your life that you may have unintentionally neglected. Don't forget: the relationship you have with yourself is just as important!
Finally, in this stage you should be feeling more confident! Like every other stage, this is the silver lining. The work you have done that has all led up to these final moments are starting to pay off in ways you may not notice right away. There have been many ups and downs but what has changed is that you believe in yourself and your ability to form your business into a thriving success. Enthusiasm and expertise that have been building up have led to the final outcome of a tremendous amount of internal and external success in yourself and in your venture.
In this final stage, make sure to utilize mentors for fast-track advice, and discover or nurture creative alliances. Your business is going full-speed ahead, so keep up the momentum with promotion. Your marketing program should be proactive and consistent. It's alright if it takes you a little while to find the best program to fit your business; just make sure you keep experimenting, testing, and readjusting as needed. Take a real hard look at who you were coming into this massive undertaking, and who you have grown to be, and I'm certain that the experiences you've had are going to be ones that you will remember and will benefit you for the rest of your life.
Where are you in your stage of start-up success? How have you managed to stay motivated? Tell us your story in the comments below!

A Clinton Township police dispatcher who officials say made derogatory statements about a police department on Facebook has been fired.
The Macomb Daily reports the Board of Trustees in Macomb Countys Clinton Township announced its decision following a closed meeting with Shannon Choppa. Officials also claim she failed to show up for work without a legitimate excuse.
The 42-year-old Utica woman left the Tuesday meeting without commenting to the newspaper. There was no telephone listing for Choppa in Utica.
The statements on the social networking website were comments related to the death of a family friend who drowned in the Clinton River after running from police. The statements didnt name the department, but officials said people familiar with the situation could link them to the department.

Ricky and Dana Bridges' living room in Haughton.
- Filed Under
Former Krewe of Centaur Captain Dana Bridges had rollers in her hair and was getting dressed for yet another Mardi Gras party in August 2011 when she smelled smoke.
"I turned around and saw smoke coming out over the shower," she said.
And, as she walked down the hall, Dana heard crackling in the attic. Husband Ricky Bridges, a former Centaur king, was in the living room of their double-wide mobile home in Haughton. She yelled at him and picked up her clothes, thinking this would all be over with soon and they'd head to the party. ...

Each year, Hebrew SeniorLife serves nearly 200,000 nutritious meals at our supportive housing communities. The typical resident is 85 years old, lives on $20,500 per year, and spends $1 out of every $4 on medical expenses. All of the residents in Randolph, Revere, and 112 Centre Street in Brookline receive housing subsidies for low-income residents.
Our goal - which we achieve thanks to you - is to help residents stay healthy, active, and living independently for as long as possible.
By making meals available in residents' own buildings, we know that each senior has the option for a nutritious dinner. For our frailest residents, having access to a hot prepared meal might mean the difference between living independently and moving to a long-term care facility.
Your donation provides money for this critical service.
A $100 donation can buy food for 25 hot nutritious meals for a low-income senior.
How many meals can you donate?
Thank you for your support.

Valerie Tucker, Jessica McCart, Rose Hue and Brittany Pope sit in the newly redecorated reading area in Bossier Central Children's Services.
- Filed Under
On Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Haughton Library will participate in the Haughton Adventure Weekend outdoor festival in the Haughton High School parking lot. Branch Manager Audra Bartholomew and her staff will be there handing out giveaways, so be sure to stop by the library booth. There will be games, drawings, pony rides and so much more. It will be a fun day for everyone. Bring your family and friends for a great time outdoors.
The Bossier Central Children's Library has a new look. "We worked hard to give the Kids Zone reading area a face lift that will hopefully draw people in and make them want to stay and read," Children's librarian Jessica McCart said. She and her staff did the painting themselves using bold colors that tie in with the Dr. Seuss theme. Stop by and try out the lime green curvy couch or one of the colorful bean bag chairs. Then step inside the Dr. Seuss house, where you can see a thing or two. It is a happy space filled with lots of fun things to do.
Library events
? Plan ahead for May 10 and Book it to the Bossier Libraries Expo from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Bossier Central Library, 2206 Beckett St., Bossier City.
? The Summer Reading Programs are coming soon. "Fizz, Boom, READ at the Bossier Parish Libraries" will be June 2-Aug. 1. There will be Children's, Young Adults and Adult programs offered. More information about the Summer Reading Program is on the way.

Bute has great boxing skills, i still believe p4p, this not a fighter he can not beat, this is not like tzyu an zab, were you just knew it would be the same result 10 out of 10, i say this is like a sanders/wlad, were the wrong game plan an the other guys winning.
as a fan of bute, i would love to see him try one more time, an the money is there now, he has got one more fight with showtime, at the very least showtime would like to show off froch for a rematch with ward, he will have big homtown show up, ward fighting later this year, so why not....
If he loses, well there nothing wrong with that, there was nothing wrong with his lost this past saturday, he did not quite, he pushed himself, it was just not his night, he took a beating, but i don't believe froch power is like let say wlads, were retirment for health reasons should almost be the only choice after a fight with wlad an a UN reqirement
You still rate Bute as a top P4P fighter, despite having been wiped out in five rounds the first time he ever faced a top 5 ranked guy?

Melissa Painter's "Steal Me" is that rarity, a low-budget independent picture made in a rural setting that captures an authentic feel and rhythm of the locale without self-consciousness, awkwardness or sentimentality — and with considerable subtlety and an appropriately low-key style. Painter has managed to respect the slow pace of life in bucolic Livingston, Mont., yet never let her movie drag, and she has uncovered myriad complexities in a deceptively simple story.
Outstanding newcomer Danny Alexander, who also serves as the film's narrator, admits at age 15 that he's been a habitual thief most of his life. He's come to Livingston in search of his elusive mother, apparently a drifter who according to Danny "scared away" his father when he was an infant. When a local youth, Tucker (Hunter Parrish), catches Danny's Jake stealing his pickup's radio he winds up befriending the thief, even offering him shelter.
The paint may be peeling from Tucker's spacious, sunny family home, and his farmer father John (John Terry) may have had to take a day job in a train yard in order to make ends meet. But John and his wife, Sarah (Cara Seymour), are a warm and loving couple. They are clearly ideal parents to Tucker and to his pretty younger sister Cindy (Chelsea Carlson). The family has everything Jake craves and has never had. John is a strong, paternal, trusting man who unhesitatingly offers to put up Jake in his barn and offer him work, but Sarah is wary.
Jake wastes no time ingratiating himself with one and all through thoughtful acts, and the question becomes whether the family's love will be healing for him or he is beyond repair. Painter builds involvement with Jake and Tucker's equally appealing family, and most important, arrives at a concluding sequence that is free of melodrama, stark tragedy and contrivance. Yet Painter strikes a note of understated irony: Ultimately, Jake has had a more positive effect upon the family than the family upon him.
Painter inspires the most engagingly natural portrayals from her actors. Seymour is especially beguiling as the wisest, most relaxed of women, and along with the principals there are splendid moments from Toby Poser as a seductive neighbor woman and Paz de la Huerta as the reflective, sultry beauty Tucker pines for. Cinematographer Paul Ryan's beautiful images are complemented by Jim Thomas' spare, plaintive score. "Steal Me" is a beautifully realized small film of understated power.

Ottawa has the third most cap space – $14+mil- What are you talking about: "Ottawa doesn't have a lot of money"???
NHL Rumors I: Ellis, DeKeyser, Leddy and Ryan
- Josh Cooper of the Tennessean: The Predators have only one RFA unsigned, defenseman Ryan Ellis. It all comes down to money. GM David Poile is hopeful a deal can be reached soon.
"Like 99 percent of negotiations that aren't done at this time we just don't agree exactly on what the dollars should be," Poile said. "Hopefully it will be done by training camp. That's what our target is."
- Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press: Red Wings RFA Danny DeKeyser isn't worried that they haven't reached an agreement yet.
"I'm not really worried," DeKeyser said. "We're just kind of going back and forth, and we'll see what happens. It'd be nice to figure out something long term."
Red Wings GM Ken Holland said the sides spoke earlier this week and will do so again by the end of this week.
- Craig Custance of ESPN: (mailbag) Custance thinks the Blackhawks will trade Nick Leddy to help get under the salary cap.Going to hear a lot about Senators pending UFA Bobby Ryan this season. Ottawa doesn't have a lot of money and he's going to get paid.
3 Comments
The missing word was "ownership" as in Ottawa ownership doesn't have or isn't willing to spend to the cap limit.
I think its more Melnyk's willingness to spend to the cap. His net worth is a billion dollars, he could easily spend to the cap without it making a dent in his wallet.
Plus that $14+ million is for the upcoming 2014-15 season which most teams are pretty well done(besides some tinkering for a couple to get under the cap), Ryan will potentially hit UFA in 2015-16 which is a whole new ballgame. It's not just Ryan they have to worry about, either. Its also the 8-10 roster spots to fill within whatever the team's budget will be next year.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY Chris Hardy, the president of the Clemson (S.C.) Chamber of Commerce, will take over April 30 as the head of the Albany Chamber, officials announced Friday.
Miles Espy, chairman of the board of the Albany Area Chamber of Commerce said that Hardy stood out from the other candidates because of his attitude and knowledge.
"I am very excited about Chris Hardy joining our Chamber, as the president and CEO," Espy said. "Chris is full of energy and enthusiasm and I believe that his chamber and CVB background coupled with his skill sets will make him a strong and effective leader for our chamber and the business community."
Hardy will replace former president Catherine Glover who resigned in January to take a job at Equinox Chemicals.
"I was certainly given an unbelievable opportunity to continue my chamber career. It's an exciting time. I'm looking forward to me and my wife relocating to Southwest Georgia. Albany has so many positive things, I think the first thing we as a chamber need to do is make sure that we're doing everything we can to celebrate what Albany has to offer."
Hardy said curtailing Albany's negative reputation is something that will not only enhance the city's image, but will also make it more appealing for outsiders who may be looking for a place to relocate.
"If you're an outsider looking in, and you're doing a google search, you see negative things right at the top of the list," Hardy said. "We know it's happening but we want them to show up further back in the search results."
Hardy is originally from Winston Salem, N.C., and is a graduate of Francis Marion University.
Espy said that Hardy's experience as the director of a Convention and Visitors Bureau also helped him stand out from other candidates, experience Hardy says he's eager to put to work here.
"I understand that the CVB has gone through some transition, but I'm looking forward to working with the staff to continue doing those things that are beneficial and to look at the things that maybe aren't going so smoothly, if there are any," Hardy said. "Things may be running like an assembly line over there, but I just won't know until we take a look at the organization."

Cut your losses and rent a doublewide in Lee County where the schools and the crime are more to your liking, while planning your next unbelievable opportunity move. On the positive side of a negative situation, those who don't produce the desired results don't suffer since we have a long history of employing folks who promise big and deliver small.

Yes, an "unbelievable opportunity" for sure. I wish the best for you.

WINNIPEG -- After two frustrating seasons where injuries limited his playing time, Canadian slotback Cory Watson is hoping this is the year he delivers on the promise that made him the Winnipeg Blue Bombers top draft pick in 2010.
"It is frustrating,'' he said Thursday at a little meet-and-greet organized by the Bombers, which also featured some of their most prominent newcomers this season.
|Watson by the Numbers
2013: 36 REC, 516 yards, 0 TD
2012: 35 REC, 344 yards, 1 TD
2011: 69 REC, 793 yards, 1 TD
2010: 17 REC, 277 yards, 1 TD
Draft: 2nd round, 9th overall, 2010
Watson missed eight regular season games in 2012 and nine last season and says he was disappointed in himself.
"I will try to make up for those lost games,'' he said.
At the same time, the native of Dollard des Ormeaux, Que., who turns 30 next week, insists he won't change the way he plays to avoid injury. That aggressive style has been cited as a big contributing factor to his lack of durability.
"When you're going hard sometimes accidents happen,'' he said. "I don't think I'm going to change the way I play...I've just got to make sure I take care of my body.''
He was joined at a still snow-covered Investors Group Field by Drew Willy, set to be Winnipeg's starting quarterback in 2014, receiver Nick Moore and defensive back Korey Banks.
Willy is making his debut as a starter this season after a backup role in Regina last season, while Moore and Banks were both B.C. Lions free agents.
The Bombers' offence will definitely take on a new look this season.
Besides Willy behind centre, veteran receiver Terrence Edwards is hanging up his cleats and 2012 rookie-of-the-year Chris Matthews landed a job in the NFL. Not that Matthews was much of a factor last season, as injuries limited him to 14 catches, 138 yards and one touchdown.
Willy is being reunited with old friend Moore, the third leading receiver in the CFL last season and the Lions' top pass catcher. Their relationship goes back to their college days, although they played for different schools in the same MAC conference - Moore at Toledo and Willy at Buffalo.
"We came out for the NFL draft at the same time, we worked out at the same facility and we've kept in touch over the years,'' said Willy. "We picked up in the airport yesterday in Minneapolis like time hadn't passed.''
Moore said it seems like this was meant to be.
"I definitely think that people come into your life for a reason,'' he said.
Watson also says he looks forward to playing with his new quarterback, if that brings the success the Bombers so desperately need.
"Most importantly I'm looking forward to winning. However that happens I'm fully down for that.''
His best season so far was 2011, when he caught 69 passes for 793 yards and one touchdown.
While new head coach Mike O'Shea may be high on Willy's potential, the signing of proven talent like Banks and Moore doesn't hurt.
Although Banks will turn 35 this season, the four-time CFL all-star says he is still ready to play and will be the first to admit when he can no longer compete at an elite level.
"When I can't do it any more and compete at a high level I'll walk away. I'm not going to let a coach tell me 'This is it son' and pat me on the back. I'll know before they know.''
He also dismissed B.C. general manager Wally Buono's suggestion he was cut loose after eight seasons because he wasn't able to keep up with young running backs like former Saskatchewan Roughrider Kory Sheets, not that Sheets is personally an issue now that he's also in the NFL.
"Even if that is true, and I beg to differ, this is passing league,'' said Banks.
