It’s kind of amazing how things just fall out of the sky sometimes. We’ve had a lot good things happen that way for us during our company’s short history. This morning was another case of that. I got a call at about 11am this morning from Diana Urbine, our amazing QVC liaison, informing me that we got a second airing! Our Small Cinchy Totes will once again be on QVC’s airwaves this Thursday, June 11th on QVC’s Morning Show starting at 7am Eastern time.

Even I, with my limited math skills, realized that was less than 48 hours notice. And it means we’re airing sometime between 4am and 6am Pacific time. Oh my.

When I informed our amazing operations manager Rorey and pondered how I’d ever get up at 4am to watch it, she said, “Just stay up!” Rorey knows what a night-owl I am, but even I have my limits. I’ll have to split my sleep time tonight so I can be sure to see Janine Graff’s beautiful face on QVC’s Morning Show, showing off our bags in her amazing way.

I only work with amazing people, in case you hadn’t noticed. I’m very picky that way. Granted, I’m being a bit facetious. But I really believe that when you try to do business in a good and decent way, you find people who think likewise and who will go that extra mile on your behalf. Rorey, Diana and Janine are all those kinds of people, and I’m fortunate to be surrounded by others who are just like them.

It’s not that I don’t encounter incredible business difficulties at times. There’s not a person on the planet who doesn’t, especially during this past year. But I compare it to finding good doctors. When I first moved to Los Angeles many years ago, I got the name of an amazing GP (Dr. Sheldon Reiss) from a friend. I asked him for referrals, because I figured amazing doctors would know other amazing doctors. I was right! It’s the same in business. If you care about the people who you do business – in whatever capacity – as best as you can, then they’ll provide you with extraordinary work and you’ll find other amazing people through them.

My marketing people will be upset with me that I kind of went off on an “amazing” tangent instead of promoting promoting promoting our upcoming QVC appearance – tomorrow @ 7am Eastern time on QVC’s Morning Show. Don’t forget!

But I think it was a fun diversion. I hope you do too.
