Time, where is it?

Yes it’s Thursday and my blog usually goes out on Mondays and yes I started one, but.  You guessed it other things got in the way and before I knew it it’s 4 days later.  So here I am writing a new blog; I’ll save the started one for next week.  I am writing about...

The power of human persistence

I just got back from DC. I was fortunate not to have been in the devastation of NY and NJ.  Having grown up on the east coast I had forgotten the power and fury of a hurricane and combine it with a full moon for high tides and a lower jet stream for cold and you have...

Social Media is not the Total Solution

Sorry to burst bubbles out there!  When I first started my business 15 years ago I made some of the same mistakes I help my clients avoid.  I wasn’t 100% sure of my target market and would advertise in places that were no more productive than flushing money down the...

So Many Webinars, So Little Time…
