In recent weeks, I have watched various people vent frustrations in some places where the results could be disastrous. Unfortunately, there are few rules associated with membership in various social media forums. People are encouraged to speak their minds and be completely honest. I realize that many people were never provided the invaluable instruction I […]

Maybe the full moon has something to do with the way people write emails and support tickets when they encounter issues. Almost daily, I receive an accusation in the form of a support ticket. I continue to ask myself WHY people feel free to attack me instead of making a request for help. Do you […]

Any week of intensive sales activity will result in mountains of work. Customers expect rapid response to issues without consideration for time zones or tired sellers.

Product creation follows a logical series of steps from idea straight through to completion. Right? I have completed projects in countless business disciplines over the years.

Over the past 19 days, the ability to work from anywhere at any time has made all the difference in my business.
