Trust Me?



Yesterday I heard confirmation of something that I had suspected for a long time. I heard Ryan Holiday on a radio show and he confirmed that the media tries to pull the wool over our eyes. Thank you, Ryan, but I don't believe it stops there. As a matter of fact, I implore you to tell me who doesn't try to bluff the general population.

Since we established our business we have had scores of ads that tell us we can make a lot of money by pretending to be something we are not. “Be the authority,” they say. We review our skills and talents and sit at our meetings shaking our heads. I just Googled “be the authority” and had 35 million results.

Well, we at GHC have our talents and interests. Mine is over thirty years of interest in various aspects of construction and mining. Of course, I could try to bluff you and throw out the cumulative years of experience that we have and tell you that we have over sixty-five years experience in the construction and mining fields, but I think that would be silly.

Today's advice: Don't believe everything you read.

What Has Been Going On? Our explanation.

What Had Been Going On?  Our explanation.

I imagine that a few of you have wondered why Georgianna Hardware has been rather quiet and has not been operating under what were considered to be normal conditions. Standard business protocol does not explain how to handle some things.

Our family owned and operated business experienced a great loss on June 13, 2012. My mom, Janice Miller, passed away. Mom had been ill for quite a while, but our hearts still grieve. As a family, we are being patient with ourselves and allowing the mourning process to have its time.

Though behind the scenes we have been keeping up with news and planning Georgianna Hardware Corporation's future, we appreciate that you forgive us for preferring seclusion during this difficult time.

Our love,
Kara Miller and family
