If you do not predict the future, your sales and your whole business in today’s fast paced business atmosphere can decrease in a hurry.
Today, a young person with an idea, can start a business for very little money, create a credible website, position the business idea correctly on the internet, get traction on Google and other search engines and the result could be:
Your sales all of sudden belong to that young person operating out of his home office!

We are about to head down to
Patoka's Edge!
We spent part of last week outside of Naperville for my husband's conference then drove to Elkhart (my hometown) for Halloween festivities and drove back to Anderson (our home base) and are now off to Taswell in beautiful Southern Indiana! I've been to the top and now bottom of Indiana in a 5-day span!
I amused myself during his conference and wandered across the highway to the…

Providing care for someone with Alzheimer’s or another related dementia can be one of the most stressful events in a person’s life. Often, caregivers are the children of elderly parents requiring 24 hour care. These adult children are not medical professionals nor do they have prior experience providing medical care. The typical caregiver often has a job during the day and is “sandwiched” between raising a family and caring for their parents.
According to the National Center on Elder Abuse, “bet…

How easy is it for you to right now get up and go get a drink of water?
It could from the fridge, it could be at the fountain down the hall or the cooler on the floor below.
Even more so, how many of you have to reach about six inches from where you’re sitting and grab the coffee or diet soda which is your constant companion?
That is exactly the point Shawn Wood has been trying to make the first five days in May.
A pastor at South Carolina’s Seacoast Church, Wood launched the online initiative…

My recent LifeHack.org post, published April 10:

Starting a business during a recession seems counterintuitive, doesn’t it? If the economy isn’t doing well and people aren’t spending money, doesn’t that mean a new business is likely to fail? Actually, the answer may surprise you.

One of the most important steps (if not the most important one) you can take when starting a business is to talk with your partner/spouse before you embark on your adventure. It’s absolutely crucial to have your partner with you on the same page when you start a business. Without thei…

From my Stepcase LifeHack.org article, posted today:
When was the last time you took a risk? Not something major and life-threatening, but something that represented a step outside your comfort zone. Can you recall a time recently when you did something that felt uncomfortable for you? If not, get ready to take a major step forward.
Frequently, in business and in life, we get t…

I’m almost always thinking about business, so it’s no surprise that when I’m working out at the gym, business is on my mind. Recently, I had a revelation at the gym. I often work out with headphones. I listen to power music and that helps me stay focused and I can endure more than if I don’t have them on. But with those headphones on, I never, ever meet people.
My gym is a social place. And although each gym probably has its own dynamic and subculture, I suspect most gyms are just as friendly.…

Downtown Indianapolis hosts an incredible event on the first Friday of each month called, simply, First Friday. On this day, the local artists invite the public into their studios, and sometimes homes, to showcase their work. I have no idea how long this has been going on, and don’t know when it started, but now that I have discovered it, I am certainly going to explore the lofts, dens, warrens, and cubbyholes of my city’s talented and creative citizens.
After months and months of trying to get…

Yesterday, I wrote a blog post warning noobies that not every Black Friday deal is a good deal. After reading that blog post back a few times and realizing its somewhat negative tone, I felt compelled to do another blog post about Black Friday, but this time in a more positive light.
That positive for me is Amazon.com. Black Friday, and the few days that follow, are some of the funnest days to shop online at Amazon.com. Here's why. For starters, Amazon.com can't disguise a bad deal as a good on…

In a recent article out of the UK, Baroness Warnock known as the “moral philosopher” stated that she hopes people will soon be "licensed to put others down" who have become a burden on the health care system. She went on to say that anyone with dementia had the responsibility to commit suicide because of the burden they are on their families and society.
As groups across the United States work together for the improvement in long-term care and for the care of our elderly, we must insist that re…
