John Barrett…Life Coach

I am thankful for the mess to clean up after a party because it means friends have surrounded me.

I am thankful for the income taxes I pay because it means that I’m employed.

I am thankful for the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat.

I am thankful for the spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking.

I am thankful for all the complaining I hear about our government because it means we have freedom of speech.

I am thankful for the lady in the next row who sings off key because it means that I can hear.

I am thankful for the piles of laundry because it means my loved ones are nearby.

I am thankful for the lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.

I am thankful for my huge heating bill because it means that I am warm.

I am thankful for weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means that I have been productive.

I am thankful for the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that I am alive.

What are you thankful for that we just take for granted.

Thanksgiving Observance

Count your blessings instead of your crosses;

Count your gains instead of your losses.

Count your joys instead of your woes;

Count your friends instead of your foes.

Count your smiles instead of your tears;

Count your courage instead of your fears.

Count your full years instead of your lean;

Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.

Count your health instead of your wealth;

Count on God instead of yourself.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

We do not talk about our accomplishments much, but will you allow us to brag a bit about our business? Many ad agencies come and go. Some are around for a decade or less and they are not able to make it. So, many agencies decide to combine several localagencies and become one. Only to find out there are too many chiefs, and all the owners of the individual businesses cannot agree and the agency dissolves.

Creative Ideas Agency is currently in our 35th year of being in business. And again, we made the top 25 advertising agencies in the Tampa Bay and beyond in the “Tampa Bay Business Journal.” If you go back throughout the years of the Tampa Bay BusinessJournal, Creative Ideas Agency has made the top 25 list for 30 years This does not happen by accident.

We never have tried to be the one that has made the most revenue. But we have always tried to be the best agency partner for our clients.

Why has Creative Ideas Agency, Inc made the top 25 agencies? First and foremost, we have a team of people that actually care about you and our clients. We listen to what you want to do. We sometimes gently need to let you know we do not feel somethingwill work. Sometimes we have to tell our clients that it is not legal to create or use something and we classify ourselves as the “legal” agency. We do not want your business to get in trouble for not adhering to the rules. We have worked with the lawsof attorneys and the thick book of rules with car dealerships. We have worked with doctors that must keep information to fit the HIPPA rules and we have kept our clients in line with the ever-changing social media rules.

Many of our team members have been with Creative Ideas Agency, Inc for over two decades.

We are more than a nine to five business. We care.

What else makes Creative Ideas Agency so successful for so many years is that we never ever have an agency fee. What that means is that although we ask for a deposit for new clients, you are not paying Creative Ideas Agency a monthly fee. All our clientsare invoiced at the end of each month for the work that is completed. We have clients that we work with daily and some that we work with on special projects. We have clients that use our services every few years to recreate or update their business information.We do not feel right taking money each month when we do not do anything for you. For this reason, we are able to work with small to medium-sized businesses that cannot afford to pay out money every month.

We absolutely love working with start-ups and smaller sized businesses. The large agencies will not even contact you. You are what our team loves to work with.
