"I have learned that success requires having a plan to succeed. It doesn't just happen. Even with the greatest of ideas, you don't just fall into success. If you ever find yourself receiving an inheritance, without a plan, you'll see it quickly disappear."

Why THE STAR?
Wise men (and women) follow The Star-News!
The Star-News reflects a bold light on the concerns facing the community, surrounding cities, states and the world. The people have questioned long enough if there was a media source that would follow the true Code of Ethicswith the integrity that holds journalism accountable. It is time for a renewed (old school journalist) media source to show up, shine and bring "just the facts" to the people, while providing REAL NEWS.
Our logo: The Star is symbolic of one cohesive community created by the artists, musicians, educators, craftsmen and women, the generous individuals and organizations that contribute to one small community's efforts coming together to make one great community. The Star-News is honored to be a small part of the Idyllwild community.
Going UP?
In business and in life, sometimes we can stand in one place for so long that our perspective remains the same. This is much like running in place and finding you're not going anywhere. However, when someone comes along and sees your vision, a new perspective is presented. This new perspective includes creative ideas and effective strategies. Your life and business can get energized, thus allowing it to move forward to success.
