    Greetings Gods and Goddesses of Grime,

    Have you ever heard a version of the CAN CAN story? Well, here’s ours…

    Once upon a time, not long ago, a woman invited a couple of hard working souls to enter her place of business.

    The woman, speaking ever so softly, asked the two if they know why she had invited them over today. The woman guest replied, “please tell us”.

    “Because, you passed the test”, replied the business woman.

    “The test?”, they said in unison.

    “Yes, the CAN CAN test”. The other two I invited to visit didn’t pass the CAN CAN test. You see, I asked the first man the first question of the test – can you clean the carpet on the first floor?”

    He instantly responded with disbelief. “All the carpet?! I CAN”T possibly clean ALL this carpet for you in a day!

    I sent him away.

    The next person I invited to visit gave me the negative response: “Gees, your carpet is filthy! And I certainly can’t get all of these stains out you know”.

    Not pleased with her answer I sent her on her way.

    When you two arrived and I asked if you could clean all the carpet on the first floor, you replied, “I’d be happy to. I CAN clean all your carpet in two days.”

    Intrigued by your answer, I decided to ask the next test question: “will all the stains come out?”

    You then smiled and gently said, “I can and will do my best to meet your goals”, and proceeded to educate me about the intricate balance between a carpet’s ability to come clean and my carpet expectations.

    “That answer pleases me! I don’t want to pay people for what they CAN”T do. I want to invest in what people CAN do. Although your bid is not the cheapest, I believe what you tell me you CAN realistically do. You are hired!”

    The hard working couple beamed. By doing the CAN CAN, they were able to help not only another person, but their business as well.

    So my dears, doing the CAN CAN will bring you closer to the success you deserve.

    May you find peace in your day and joy in your heart.

    Warm regards,
