What happens when you determine you may no longer have upward mobility in the job you have in your current geographical location? For some this may mean locating greener grass in locations potentially far removed from where they live. For some individuals it may make sense to pull up roots and move on, but for others this scenario may be a bit more complicated. For instance if you have a close knit family you may not desire to remove yourself from that sense of support ...

There once was a man who developed, “Ye Ole Grand Website of Renown”. It was a lovely site and he was well proud of his accomplishment. The navigation of the site surpassed Viking tales of old. Each section of the website sported a beautifully crafted signboard and Old England flare. Tidbits of knowledge were placed liberally throughout the site and the owner thought to wax fat and happy as he estimated the value of the site to his own family wealth. Lo this was a beneficent ...

What a strange title. Of course content is important! Why bring it up? That is a good question. The reason I bring it up is because for many web designers there seems to be the attitude that they should simply provide several areas of fixed content that may appeal to search engines. For most web designers this is a time saving tactic that bows to the notion that a site MUST be Search Engine optimized (SEO) without thinking about the life of the website post-launch. S...

When a tenth class reunion is observed there are often those who will leave the event feeling as if nothing has changed. The cheerleaders are still catty and the jocks still think they are NFL material. Many of the same petty attitudes seem to come up and so many seem intent on attempting to impress others about their success and achievements. By the time the twentieth reunion is celebrated many individuals are interested in talking about their children and the successes t...

Take the time to look around you sometime in a public setting. Observe the people around you. Sit on one of those benches at the mall and pay attention to what you see. Yes, you will see shoppers, and there will be those who engage others in conversation. However, you will likely notice a husband calling his wife by cell phone to ask questions about a potential purchase. You will probably see many teens pulling out a cell phone or Blackberry to either read or send a text m...

A couple in Colorado discovered a game they enjoyed. The game was not available in any of the box stores they visited so they conducted an online search one Christmas. They had first observed the game a year before. They loved the fact that while the game was fun it also provided a perfect tabletop feature for their home adding a unique aesthetic to their home. As they had remarked positively to their hosts about the game the year before so had many others as the one-of...

Brick and mortar businesses are learning that the Internet is a powerful ally in perpetuating business. Certainly most online buyers understand that many traditional stores also supply the ability to purchase online. In fact many stores will make the online store more inviting by either making purchases available with free shipping to the nearest store or by making certain items available only online. At least one retailer allows customers to select a variety of free prod...

In traditional sales you may have heard the old adage, “It’s not what you know it’s who you know.” I’m here to debunk that myth – at least in online business. There was a notion that provided the ability to think that even if a parent had messed up at least their children could do better, perhaps becoming a senator or President. The world of online business takes it one step further. No matter what success or lack thereof you may have experienced you can still find potenti...

Audio and video streams as well as mp3 players are providing an interesting shift in reality as we know it. The growth of video games has facilitated a culture that is not immune to the idea of an altered reality. A young girl in Colorado was beaten to death when a family member and friend decided to act out a scene from a violent video game they had been playing. These two teens were tried as adults in the case facing murder charges. The alternate state many of the wor...

Alfred Lord Tennyson once said, “Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.” Sometimes those with the most wisdom or common sense may not have a college degree or letters after their name. Some of these individuals never set foot in a college classroom. Some of them don’t even like to read, yet they understand people. When a crisis comes up many of these individuals refuse to panic and they can generally solve the problem by taking a step back and trying to look at the big pi...

With the subprime debacle in mortgage lending in 2007 both business as well as consumers began to take note that something had to change. The government got involved and pushed for help to be extended to those who may have already found themselves facing the potential of foreclosure. Subprime hit at the heart of home and auto lending. These loans were generally infused with creative payment, interest amounts and terms. For many this was the deal that sounded too good to...

Developing a business online provides the potential for a dynamic that is available only minimally in traditional brick and mortar counterparts. The potential I’m talking about is networking. In a more traditional business environment you may be tied more closely to the day-to-day operations of the facility and face-to-face encounters with customers. Networking might happen in an after hours setting or by phone, but is hard to manage in the same terms as is possible in an ...
