Cleaning Out Your Professional Closet - The Lesson I Learned from an Unexpected Place

I'm not usually one for astrology. I mean, I read my horoscopes when I was younger, and I bothered to find out what my zodiac sign is and how closely I fit the ideal. But in general, I'm not someone who runs my life by the planets and stars...or so I thought - until I learned a valuable lesson from an unlikely source.

Looking to Out-Rank Competition? Then Beef Up Your Arsenal (and your mentality)!

I have seen so many forum posts, blog entries and rambling comments across the web in the past few weeks about small businesses looking to outrank competitors in the major search engines. This is, essentially, what we're all out to do - be the biggest and the baddest in our industry (at least for our little region of the world if nothing else). But what I've noticed is that many small business owners and professionals are looking for solutions without satisfying the initial intent. You have to B… Continue

Hello Ina- The complete business workshop today was a complete success! Every presentation was incredibly informative and engaging. BOSS is the BOMB! Best Organizational Management Boost I've had in a long time! I hope to see all of you do more and more of these for more and more small business owners! My entrepreneurial spirit is still smiling! Thanks, Diane

Hey Ina, GREAT job today - you and your partners did a band up job and offered 'real value' to those who participated. You've got a 'do it again' on your hands. That said - don't be a stranger :)

Hey Ina,
How's it going? Are you guys still talking with Maureen? She told us that she's holding off on the internet marketing but I'm wondering how will they get those type of numbers without it. I think her idea is great, hope it works out. Anyway take care.
