So very, very true! Thanks for the comment!
Serina,
I'm a big fan of Seth. I wish I could find a way to dedicate more time to his books and blog because I think he's spot on.
Seriously, I would much rather be advertising, networking and interacting with people who WANT my web design servi...

What Happened to Happy Holidays?
I’m thinking Black Friday should be changed to Black and Blue Friday. I am amazed at the stories I hear concerning customers physically fighting over some sort of gadget, car crashes in store parking lots because people are fighting over parking spaces, and I remember the story last year about the child who died while being crushed during the rush of the crowd heading into a store when the doors were opened at 5am. And this past Friday was not much different!

What I Am Thankful For - republished from "What I Would Miss" Blog because it is fitting for this time of year
Republished - Last night at the Rainmakers Main Event, Lorraine Ball of Roundpeg spoke about our local economic eco-system. She asked each of us to list three businesses we would miss if they were to close up, and it really started making me think what part I can play to make sure this doesn’t happen to the three I listed.
First thing I can do is to make sure everyone within my circle or “tribe” knew how much I appreciated my three – and even… Continue

It's Not Always about You
Most business blogs are about your business. Makes sense since that’s usually the core reason for blogging in the first place. But the blogs must bring value and interest to your readers or they’ll stop reading. There are other things you can do with your blog to shake it up a little, which will help solidify the relationships with your customers.
Talk about your industry, not just your business. Note any current trends and how it might impact the entire industry. Inform your readers of any con… Continue

A Blog is not an Ad, It's a Conversation
Have you seen a blog post that looks like they took the text from their latest ad and just dumped into the blog? Or a press release? Maybe a brochure? Or even a catalog item or items? Please don’t do that!
But you want to use your blog to promote your business (honestly, that’s why most businesses do a blog, right?).
You can. Just be original. Re-write it! Make it a casual tone rather than a “push the message out” tone. Write it in first person; add some fluff or personal statements. Be friend… Continue

- Hi Serina,
I saw that you were on the Business Roundtable Network (BRN) discussion in Smaller Indiana. We have our biggest event in our short history (Jan. 2009 until now) coming up next week. If ever there was a time to get involved with BRN now would be the time. We provide the support and exchange of expertise needed in this economy. We need a core of people (50) who are truly committed to helping each other get through this economy and thrive.
It would be great to have you as a part of that.
Hope to see you next Thursday. See details below.
Thursday, April 30th
4:30 pm to 6:30 pm
At Conquest Racing Headquarters
Get additional information and register in advance by going to our website: www.brncommunity.com
We need you to register because food is being provided by oyster bar and grill – excellent!
We need numbers so we get the right amount of food!
So register now for this FREE event.
I hope to see you there.
Charles Shinaver, Ph.D.

I will be at tomorrows event. I would enjoy talking to you after the lunch. See you then!!!! When is this snow going to melt? Uggghhhhh!!!

- I just saw you left a comment. I'm still getting familiar with this Smaller Indiana website. I plan on attending the Rainmaker event tomorrow. However, there is a slight possibility that I might not be there. If I can I would definately like to meet you after the Rainmakers event. Now I look at your picture more, didn't you win an award at the Rainmaker's event at Ritz Charles?

- Sounds interesting. I agree it seems that we are targeting the same customers. Payroll is definately one of those tasks that should be outsourced so the business owener can concentrate on growing their business. In addition, companies can be fined at the end of the year if they don't they don't process payroll correctly. When this service is outsourced that liability becomes apart of our responsibility. Maybe we could get together soon for lunch or coffee and talk about possible referrals between our two companies.

- Likewise!!! Thanks for the friend request. Timeplus Payroll is the fourth largest payroll provider in the United States and I'm currently working on growing the Indianapolis, IN service Center. My best referells are CPA, bookeepers, & commercial bankers. In addition, any business that has 1-250 employees is a potential customer. Tell me a little bit about your business and what you offer.
