  • It's The Economy Stupid!...Again. - Once again, this year's Presidential election will be centered around the economic state of Americans. The candidate that misses its importance won't get elected. Yes, the war is a critical issue, and I'm not in any way denouncing the importance and honor of soldiers, but the war is not an impactful issue to consumers' minds when compared to the pain we feel when hearing the click- click- click of the fuel pump reminding us of the sky-high price of gas. Frankly, the price wouldn't be nearly as painful if we didn't have that click- click- click reminder in our faces as our money steals out of our wallets; that audible measurement is very real.
  • Sell the Store, Not the Chair - As with all technology, there are positives and negatives. This is evident with the web as a new marketing source. Most products are becoming a fast commodity, even if they were not before.
  • It's E-Time! - The rise of "The 3rd Option" of Wealth Building The Great Bull Market of the 1990s made us feel rich. The real estate boom boosted our hopes all over again and we all got caught up in the excitement. We borrowed against our assets like never before, and spent the equity we thought we had. Today, the stock market has fallen back to where it was eight years ago, and the housing market is back to its more humble state of five years ago. Neither of these traditional wealth builders offer us fast hope to rebuild what we "thought' we had, and the acid taste of frustration lingers. None of this news is new, and the fall has happened before. And it will happen again. The solution to this financial pull back rests in ... The 3rd Option. The 3rd Option is the creation of value through enterprise.
  • The Only Thing Constant is Change - Who said that? We did. Someone else said it first, but that's not important. What is important is your recognition that change is an integral part of life and if you don't incorporate it into your business, sooner or later you will be left behind. Now for those conservative minded readers who still wear bow ties and Brooks Brothers suits, we will gladly acknowledge that exceptions abound. Unfortunately, however, most of us do not have the luxury of waiting to see if the public will stick with our products. He who waits and makes a mistake gets left behind. Don't believe me? Ask IBM, Sears, or the entire U.S. automobile industry. Change left them all in the dust.
  • Telling Your Story for More Profit - Telling stories is not only one of the oldest forms of communication; it is also one of the most effective. Accepting this statement as true should help you see why creating a business story is a reliable way to connect, and to create a bond with your customer that helps you rise above your competition in their eyes. Your business story should be real and personal. The more you can connect your story to your customer, the more it will help your business. This is why we often talk about the importance of finding a niche market with which you can identify.
  • REVEALED: How to Reach the Top Rung of Credibility, Power & Influence - It is no secret that we live in the age of information overload. No matter where we look, eat, sleep or breathe, we are bombarded with information. The problem is that our potential clients are too. So how do we cut through the clutter? For starters, we have to build credibility with our audience and get them to begin looking for our messages, because they know that what we say has value. How do we do that?
  • Celebrity Branding You! - Typing Your Way to Fame! - Over the last few years, there is no denying that the online community has started harnessing the power of the Internet for more than just "surfing" the web to look for information. We have now started using it as a networking tool that allows us to connect with others to share ideas, opinions and videos of ourselves looking like fools. Okay, so hopefully we don't have too many of those videos;
  • The Continuity Factor - The best new ideas are often old ideas brought back to life. Sometimes the ideas are altered to fit particular circumstances but, many times, the application is altered to fit current circumstances. Over twenty years ago, when I was in the financial services industry, I decided to alter our business from commission-based to charging a monthly fee based on a percentage of assets. This was a radical thought at the time because the brokerage business was based on commissions.
  • The Next Big Thing! - Big Cash For Big Information Ever since the first gumshoe paid his favorite informant $20 for the name of the doll that shot Mr. Big three times in the head with his own .45, money has been the motivator for getting the right information from those who have it.

  • The Three Steps to Recession-Proofing Your Business - I must admit that I don't watch the news often enough. It frustrates me and depresses me, all at the same time. But, I do walk by a television that is showing a news program often enough to see the constant predictions by the Chicken Littles of the world. They are all too ready to offer up the "news" that "the sky is falling." Now, before you run off and start actually believing that — especially in the context of your business — just stop, take a deep breath and relax.
  • The Next Big Thing! - New Business - Despite the doom and gloom crap that you see in every US newspaper and TV news broadcast, there is an interesting counter-culture buzz that I think merits some real attention: New Business. Every time there is upheaval in the economy, every time there is "blood in the street," there is always a counter-opportunity to step in and fill in the gap. Please note the words: EVERY TIME! What I mean by "filling in the gap" is that tough times create opportunities for you to change something that you are doing or to spot a new idea or trend that will offer you unusual rewards.
  • The 1 Question You’ve Probably Never Asked That Could Make Your Business Insanely Profitable - When most new businesses go about setting their pricing model, they generally: 1. Look at what competitors are charging and set their price somewhere near that price point (usually below, which is most often a mistake) 2.
  • WARNING: Are you treating your clients like a cheap date? - This sounds really silly at first glance, but if you compared the relationships most companies have with their clients to the relationships of everyday life that don't involve money, it's hard not to cringe. Seriously, think about it.
  • Celebrity Branding You: Tweeting ... And Why It's Not Just For The Birds - You've probably heard the buzz-terms "social media" and "social networking" more times than you care to count; although if you're like most people, you still haven't figured out what it means or how you can use it to increase your celebrity status, and, most importantly, your profits. You've also probably seen kids wandering around aimlessly with their cell phones, tapping away at their keys as they wander through the world -- clueless about what is going on around them because they are so entrenched in their own little world of text messages. Well, the good news is, it's not that hard. The entire concept of Celebrity Branding™

  • How To Write Content That Is Optimized For Search Engines - To me, I always feel like Search Engine Optimization (or SEO as it is known in the industry) is the big elephant standing in the middle of the room that nobody wants to talk about. It's a whole lot of work. Right? Or so you've been told... It's true, Search Engines, mainly Google, like to make up complicated algorithms and schemes to try and make this very simple concept into the giant elephant that it is. When it boils down to it... write your copy so that it contains the keywords your potential clients are searching for. Having keywords throughout your copy increases the relevancy of your page for those keywords.
  • Don’t File Your LLC or S-Corp Without Reading This - How Choosing the Wrong Business Name Could be the MOST Expensive Decision of Your Career Ok, so you've decided to start a business, either by yourself, with a couple of friends, or maybe even with a couple of colleagues from your last "corporate gig." You sit down at your first impromptu "business meeting" over a case of cold coke (insert other favorite beverage here) and you start your checklist: 1. Million Dollar Idea: Check 2. Office Space (or an extra room/basement in your house): Check 3. Business Plan: Check 4. Business Name: ... ... a blank stare stretches across everyone's face and thus your business has hit its first of many roadblocks on the road to becoming "The Next Fortune 100 Company.
  • Top Three Critical Components For A Search Engine-Optimized Website - Everyone wants to know: How can I get my site on the top of the search engines? Although Google doesn't publish their magical algorithm that will get you there, there are some well-known facts and strategies to keep in mind when designing or updating your website. 1. Accessibility There are several different components that determine whether or not your site is accessible - and it's not just about how easily your website can be found. Here are some things to look at: - Broken Links Check all links on your website regularly. Broken links can hurt you in two different ways. First, if a link leading viewers and search engine crawlers to another part of your website is broken, they cannot access the content. For viewers, this means receiving a very annoying error message. For search engines, this means the page may not get indexed.
  • Do Link Building Strategies Work? - People always ask me how the syndication of press releases and book-marking your blog in many of the social book-marking sites can possibly generate traffic for your site. The other day I submitted a press release to thousands of online sources for a client. As part of my regular routine, I then put the release up on their web site.
  • 3 Simple Tips to Make Your Website User-Friendly - The one assumption you need to make to follow along with me in this article is "People Buy People." It can be a hard concept for many people to understand and agree with. However, millions of spent dollars have proven this premise to me, so I consider it more of a law than a theory. If you understand the rule that people buy people, then your website MUST have a pleasant atmosphere that allows the visitor to connect with you, your company and your products. By now, you've heard me talk about our Celebrity Branding™ philosophies, and the fact that you need your picture on your website goes without saying. But, there are some smaller, often overlooked, areas that shouldn't be forgotten. Here are three simple tip to make your website user-friendly: 1.

  • The Writing On The Wall – A Look Into The World Of Graffiti - Graffiti has always been given a negative connotation as it is seen as a defacement of a piece of property with the used of paint and other items.
