The Goal

I have mentioned before what I believe the goal of business is… What do you think it is? I would like to hear your comments.
So from now until the next blog entry (which will be no earlier than tommorow) leave your comments and I will pick at random one of the comments to this entry [...]

Got Woody?

The other day I received a post card from Woody Maxim, just a short simple card slanging his newsletter Maximum Overdrive and a link to his blog.
Now this really isn’t all that profound, but the point I am trying to make is its not all an online world… Business is still business and using [...]

Follow The Proven Path

I am a huge advocate of using proven systems and methods.

Freebie To Increase Your Site Traffic

That is why I use Artemis Pro every time I submit an article, it’s an excellent tool for exactly this purpose. If you’re wasting time blasting [...]

About American As

Once I had an interesting conversation with a friend, Mike, about kaizen and in particular 5Sing a workplace to keep it neat and orderly including a regular maintenance program (sometimes referred to as total productive or total preventative maintenance) for equipment used in the workplace.

Kaizen Even The Seemingly Insignificant

It’s easy to gloss over the small details when running a business, yet even a few minutes of time spent evaluating a process can yield some very low hanging fruit just ready for the taking. At this point there currently are a few areas that are getting the most amount of attention:
1. Better products
2. More [...]

Mini-course

I haven’t decided yet but I will probably give away complimentary copies to blog readers who have signed up to be on the mailing list… Stay [...]
