Don't have a small business marketing plan? Neither do most of the entrepreneurs we encounter on a regular basis. Many people naively enter the business world convinced that their product or service will sell itself.  They expect prospects to find out about their new business as if by magic and to flock to their website or storefront without any prodding. Unfortunately, this isn't the way it works. And if you were being realistic, you'd realize that without announcing your presence to the…

When you write a column and blog, you are offered numerous opportunities not given to just anyone. Case in point: I received an invitation to a private dinner to taste-test the offerings at about-to-open-in-Indy, Seasons 52 restaurant. Situated in front of the Fashion Mall at Keystone, the Darden restaurant, a Florida-based chain, takes mid-level dining to a new…

I’m not sure, but I think I became a foodie last night. It happened during a private preview of Seasons 52 Fresh Grill, a casually-upscale restaurant set to open March 7 on Indy’s north side (near the Fashion Mall where Keystone Grill used to be). I was there because my friend Elizabeth Musgrave invited me to be her guest. 

And who knew we’d be treated…

I was honored to be included in the guest list at tonight's special event at Seasons 52 Fresh Grill, 8650 Keystone Crossing, in Indianapolis. It's directly west of Sullivan's Steakhouse (and right across the parking lot from the west entrance to the Fashion Mall).

It's a beautiful, tastefully decorated restaurant, very upscale to be sure. The food is delicious and the company was excellent with several SI members in attendance including Adrienne Bailey, Elizabeth Musgrave and Erin…

I have recently started having migraines, and a big one hit me this week.  Having a killer headache makes it near to impossible to get any work done.  I mean, come on, how I can really get work done if my head is pounding, the sound of the keyboard hurts, and just looking at my computer screen makes me nauseous?  Sorry for the TMI, but I’m just being real.

It’s made me really appreciate the people I have working on projects within my company because I know most of the work is still…

I've never been able to quite express this the right way, but in the US using current data, there are less cancer care options for the more 'deadly' type of cancers.    I know there are a lot of reasons for this, and I can give a few later, but I thought I'd throw some numbers and facts at this first to peak interest:…

Think Fido is willfully ignoring you as you stand shivering in the pouring rain calling his name, imploring him to finish his business so you can both go inside where it is nice and warm and dry?

Maybe he actually can’t hear you.

Have you looked in his ears…

Are you really hungry or are you just saying that you are? If you were really hungry would you drive pass restaurants and grocery stores, only to go home and rest?

I recently was reading a post by one of my favorite bloggers, Danny Brown, and he had reposted an article about the butterfly effect of entrepreneurship.  Boy, did that post ever hit home to me, so I would like to share a synopsis of it. 

A great analogy of this…
