When it comes time to name your business, or even more fun renaming your business to align it better with its purpose, sometimes we get a major case of writers block. We think of a million names that just don't fit or we can't think of any. We create long lists of what we think might be great ideas and cross off one after the other as we become more and more frustrated that we can't come up with the "perfect" name for our company. The video below chronicles one of my favorite musical artists Sarah Bareilles' journey on naming

Endless Facebook political posts

How to get marketing right. You can't shove it down our throats anymore, we just have too many options for our attention. It's official the hard sell is dead. Your customers need you to fulfill one of their needs. They need you to give them something they can learn from or use. The middle of nowhere. A recent example of this in my own circle of life is on Facebook. I happen to be a person with a diverse set of friends and they have an even more diverse set of viewpoints. With the latest election and now

Know your Why?

My thoughts are on breast cancer awareness this month. There are so many amazing women who are trying to win the battle over breast cancer. I think these women have a lot of wisdom to share with us. You can check out some of the women who share their story at the Susan G. Komen For the Cure blog and hear about their journeys. Have you ever faced a challenge in business or life that you really couldn't out maneuver? Though your efforts were valiant and you tried diligently to control the situation with all your skills and talents, you were simply out

Business and the Far Side

By |2020-10-19T00:59:21-07:00September 23rd, 2012|Core Concepts|0 Comments

  These things are a cinch! One of my favorite comics is The Far Side by Gary Larson. He loved to help us look at everyday things from a fresh perspective. In today's world the difference between good, bad and the best business ideas has a lot to do with scarcity.
