I am fortunate enough to have been raised with the mentality that, no matter what you do, become the best at it, and learn to love it. If your job is to shovel horse manure, become the best shovel-er you can be, and do it with a smile and with pride-knowing that, sometimes, just doing your best is enough. I found this article on LinkedIn this morning, and I wanted to share. I love the idea of "giving yourself a promotion at work today." Great words for a Monday morning! (Link to the original article is HERE .) "Our intention creates our reality." -Wayne Dyer I have two secrets to share, about my first job in life. Here's the story: Fifteen lousy bucks. That's how much I earned my first night on the job selling Crunch ’n Munch in the fall of 1996. While in college at Boston University, I had taken a job as a vendor at Fenway Park and the Boston Garden (then called the Fleet Center). I was a snack hawker who walked up and down the aisles selling...

Meet Hope! DMC Atlanta is excited to kick off March Madness with an awesome new member of our administrative team! All smiles here in the office now that we have Hope! +Hope Welsh  grew up in Chickamauga, a very small town near Chattanooga, which is many times mispronounced.  She attended the University of West Georgia and completed her degree in Psychology in only two years.  While Hope joined the DMC team in June of 2012, she has transitioned into a managerial role, acting as our newest administrative recruiter.  Hope’s philosophy is "work hard and make people smile."   With her contagious laugh, occasional snort, and incredible work ethic, Hope personifies this every day.  We asked Hope to complete this questionnaire so that everyone can get to know Hope a little better. Enjoy! (Written by guest BLOGGER and DMC Atlanta Head of HR/Recruiting  +Ainsley Linus )  Hope's Essentials 1. Monkey cup- What Hope...

Ok, so I guess I need to start by apologizing for my lack of blogging at the end of 2012 and beginning of 2013. Not sure how I let it get away from me. Is it technically procrastination if there is no due date? Or, maybe I've just been too caught up in the new season of Real Housewives of Whatever. (kidding on that one). 2012 ended up being a truly banner year for our team at DMC. We grew from 11 offices to 33. We almost tripled in revenue. We promoted a bunch of new partners in the company. We got involved in amazing charities and gave back to the community in the form of blood drives , Operation Smile , MOvember , and more. In a sentence: It was awesome. But it's time to move on. If we spend our time looking at what we did, we might lose focus on what we are GOING to do. In January I had the opportunity to attend my first CES (International Consumer Electronics Show), where we met with potential new clients to expand our retail and B2B programs. I also had a chance to ...

Here are some pictures from our first day of MOvember! CLICK HERE  to join our team! 

Today is Halloween. Everyone knows what that means - tomorrow is the beginning of the most wonderful(ly creepy) time of the year - MOvember. Beginning tomorrow, myself along with the other men (and some very furry women - or at least fake-furry) of DMC Atlanta will be taking on MOvember - Face First- for the next 30 days. We're joining the fight against cancers that affect men. I believe that whenever we have a chance to raise awareness of something that will touch all of us at some point in our lives, it is our responsibility to do so. With great power comes great responsibility, and no power is greater than that of the 'Stache. It's ability to attract strange looks while simultaneously repelling women is unequal to that of any other form of facial expression - except perhaps teardrop tattoos - you know, because that usually means you've killed someone. You can help in multiple ways: Join my team! CLICK HERE and become a part of something furry and big - ...

Since we opened DMC Atlanta in July of 2003, we have had a strong commitment to charitable organizations and giving back to our community. DMC Atlanta is part of several direct marketing, sales, and advertising networking groups and organizations. In 2011, we partnered several other organizations to support Operation Smile – an organization that funds mission trips throughout the world for doctors and volunteers to provide safe, effective reconstructive surgery for children born with facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate. Every three minutes a child is born with a cleft — often unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. In some places these children are shunned and rejected. And in too many cases, their parents can't afford to give them the surgeries they need to live a normal life. The cost of each surgery is right around $250. Because the doctors volunteer their time and pay their own way to the missions, the money raised goes directly to the cost of me...
