Quote on E myth
Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality. It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions. And the actions which speak louder than words.
It is making the time when there is none. Coming through time after time after time, year after year after year. Commitment is the stuff character is made of; the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph over skepticism.
–Abraham Lincoln

The übermom, the home office worker and the law firm in Victoria
Hello Everyone,
that's a fairly long title for a newsletter, but we want to talk to you about all that.
Welcome to Mark's ten-second world!
Like The übermom, the home office worker and the law firm in Victoria on Facebook
According to Soho.ca, small business have doubled their usage of Twitter? Messages are getting shorter, simply because time is a precious commodity.
How can Phantom Couriers simplify your life?
Read about what happened to a law firm in Victoria who were in a serious predicament one night a couple of weeks ago.
Woodward & Company once called Phantom at 5.05. The caller said “another courier referred us to Phantom. They are unable to deliver anything past 5.00. They thought you might help us."
The job was to pick up a cheque at a local Vancouver bank (closing at 6.00) and get it to them in Victoria. We air-shipped the cheque, for a reasonable price and the next morning it was delivered to their office.
So to recap: picked up in Vancouver after hours, and delivered to Victoria over night.
Lesson 1: Phantom is the courier company that other courier companies refer their clients to
Lesson 2: whether you're a client or not, Phantom will do what it takes to get it there on time.
You can save precious time and guarantee accurate information exchange by filling in the Phantom Courier form.
Home business owners, even if your business is being an übermom with a 15-foot long to-do list, Phantom Couriers can simplify your life.
We invite our clients who have experienced the gain of being part of Phantom's family to spread the word. Forward this link: http://eepurl.com/dq7DX and help entrepreneurs and home office workers to increase their efficiency.

New Attitude - What the Phantom means by "running the extra mile"
Hello everyone,
What was Mark Huggan, owner of Phantom Couriers doing at 3 am, on Wednesday March 2nd?
No, Mark wasn't taking a well-deserved rest after a long day of work. Instead, he was taking care of a customer's parcel that was stuck with the US customs.
Here's the story, as told by Mark. "It all started on Friday Jan 28th....
John, from the Letter Shop, calls with a serious delivery: four cases of documents and name tags for a large corporate meeting in San Francisco for his Client Haywood Securities.
Knowing the time was short & the value was high I knew that they would be inspected at US Customs.
I informed john this could happen and that it could delay delivery and he informed me that this would be disastrous.
Monday: The packages left Vancouver, and arrived at the US Customs in Ontario, California and were scheduled for inspection. Day one, gone.
Tuesday: I watched and called, hoping to assist in the clearance but Customs was busy and I was in a long line...
On line information was little help and the operators couldn't do any better. I stayed up late wondering what I could do.
Luckily a call I made at 3 am went through. A Customs officer was able to clear the packages for delivery, they left at 4 am and were delivered at 8.
Wednesday: at 9.00 am, the Hotel had opened and distributed the goods, the meeting was on.
John at the Letter shop was the hero and his client was happy. One lesson I learned: calling Customs at odd hours can unlock situations way faster than any other ways."
