How Longevity Saves Time and Money
Every day we are faced with challenges and opportunities that take up a great deal of time. We are peppered with emails, text messages, Facebook, Twitter and a variety of other social media. There are so many choices to make and decision-making has become increasingly important. Want to have more free time, peace of mind and confidence in your business partners? Consider sticking with a company for the long haul.

Coming from 20 years of magazine publishing I’ve seen clients come and go. The ones that have stuck it out over time have become successful business partners. Why? There are several reasons:
1) The company becomes familiar with your wants, needs and personal style making it easier to relay information on advertising and marketing strategies.
2) The company has all your artwork, logos and previous ads to pull at a moment’s notice. Face it; we tend to wait until the last possible second to get things done. Creating a whole new advertising message with a new company on a deadline can be deadly.
3) You develop a comfortable and mutually beneficial working relationship. The longer you work together the easier it becomes to accomplish marketing goals and understand each other’s desired outcomes.
4) A good company is committed to your success. If you succeed, they succeed.
5) A side benefit: you become friends. No one has your back like a friend. As human beings we all desire to see our friends succeed. We all need relationships.
In finding strategic business partners it will become evident who has your best interests at heart and who’s just looking for a quick buck. Look for the relationship that is worth keeping and stay with it for the long haul.

Owner/Publisher Karen’s lifelong love of horses began at a very early age when she wore out a couple of rocking horses before convincing her parents to get her the real thing. That ill-tempered bay gelding, Brandy, was a challenge for the young horsewoman, but it drove her ambition to become a horse trainer. After attending Canyonview Equestrian College’s Horsemanship Program, Karen realized she needed work that was a little more lucrative than training, so she took a job with Customs Brokerage to pay the bills. There, she discovered an affinity for computers and a talent for creating informative, entertaining newsletters. The Northwest Horse Source began as such a letter in December 1995, with a distribution of 1000 copies for its 12 black and white pages. Now 29 years later, it’s an online magazine and website with a reach of over 10,000 per month and growing! Not bad for the results of one woman’s dream to work with horses!
Today, Karen remains involved with every aspect of the magazine and treasures the community of thousands who share a common passion.
