My first car wreck is kind of funny looking back on it. (What were YOU thinkin' I was talking about?) It wasn't my car, it was my mom's. And NO ONE was driving! lol My mom had a little diner back home in Texas where I helped. One night, we were loading up some boxes, and I pulled the car to the front doors to make it easier to load. When we came out for the next trip, mom asked, "John, where is the car?" Thinking she was joking (we were always playing practical jokes on one another, I…

Just quickly skimmed an article that stated Google’s Android crushes iPhone - making Google $5 billion. Now I’m an iPhone kinda gal, but then again have never used Android, and I know Apple is still making a butt-load of money. It just reminded me, though, how in business we can’t just sit back and relax too much. There are always going to be something new and improved – that will be better than what we are doing now. With 2012 right around the corner, it’s a good time to make a resolution…

For 2012 I would like to see Indiana business and governmental leaders set a medium term goal to be THE marketing hub in the Midwest. WHY NOT? Close proximity to Chicago, St. Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati ... and real estate is less expensive than in the current major hubs.
Also, I would like to see local "Smaller Indiana" members meet regularly for brainstorming sessions to creatively design a model for UNIQUE intra-Indiana and interstate (as well as foreign) public relations to…

25,000 signatures. That's what the American Heart Association needs in the next 30 days (ends Jan. 4, 2012) for the White House to consider its petition to illuminate the building in red in honor of National Wear Red Day® and American Heart Month. February is American Heart Month and National Wear Red Day is celebrated on Friday, Feb. 3.
The association is asking that Allen County area residents show the White House how important it is to remember women who died from heart…

Who is a person with Courageous Creativity and what does that mean? Do you sometimes feel that you are marching to the beat of a different drummer? Do you long to be yourself and express your wants and deepest desires and make them come true and have great connection and relationships with others. Here is my definition for what living as a person with courageous creativity would look like. I’d love your feedback.

No matter how innovative the idea, technology entrepreneurs are beholden to the speed of their customer's internet. Imagine a web app that would make it easier for the unemployed to find jobs in Indiana by proactively emailing hiring managers, based on the applicant's skill and location. Without getting too technical, it would require that the "app" quickly connect to a massive and ever-changing database of Indiana companies. To successfully achieve this goal, a computer programmer would…

As a self-appointed (read: self-described) advocate for everyday innovation in Indianapolis, I am always looking for ways that we can make slight changes that can have a large impact. Oftentimes, these changes come in the form of voting, community service or even inviting someone over for Thanksgiving dinner. As small as these acts may seem, they require a significant amount of initiative in a world of increasing options/distractions. What if I told you that you could, in addition to…

Good morning. Who out there uses Microsoft Office Live Small Business? I am considering converting to it but would like to get some opinions. I am a little concerned about security. Should I be? Is there something else out there that is / could be better?
I await your colletive wisdom. Thanks!!
