business tool: Words Have Meanings - 05/30/13 10:37 AM
Hey Captain Obvious, I know that.  Ok ok, yes, the title might enter me in the running for the Captain Obvious or Things I Already Knew award, but give me a few minutes to permit me to make my point.
When I say words have meanings, I am going beyond dictionary definitions.  The definition of a word is usually pretty simple and easily found in a dictionary, but the meaning of a word is often more important than the definition. 
A quick note about word definition, every word has a definition.  Period.  In business, use the word as its definition … (1 comments)

business tool: Business Toolkit Tool - Dropbox - 11/08/11 04:06 AM
Dropbox is the latest tool (and one of the greatest) I incorporated into my Business Toolkit. With Dropbox, I no longer need to carry a thumb drive, external hard drive or memory stick to manually transfer documents from one computer to another. I am typing this blog article on my Galaxy Tab and when I return to the office and turn on my computer, this blog article will magically be there. Ok, it is not magic - it is Dropbox and their brilliant technology. Anytime I place or update a file in the Dropbox folder on one of my computers (computer, … (9 comments)

business tool: Free PDF Converter - help protect your documents - 05/31/10 05:27 AM
I use a PDF converter called CutePDF to create PDF files.  You can download the program at www.cutepdf.com.  It is a free download.
Once the program is installed, you simply print any document, picture, webpage, etc to your CutePDF printer.  Their instructions are very easy to follow.
The program does have limitations.  It will only enable you to convert files to PDF.  The company offers other products to manipulate PDF files; however, I have never used them and do not know the quality of them.
CutePDF is a quick and easy method to convert files to PDF if you do not want to purchase Adobe Acrobat.

business tool: Presentation is Everything - 01/30/10 06:36 AM
Regardless of the business you are in, you need clients or customers.
The key question is how and where do you find customers? The answer largely depends on your business as it varies drastically from one business to the next. That being said there is one important factor in attracting customers that is consistent throughout every type of business: presentation is everything.
The appearance of your entire business is vital to the success of your business. And I mean everything from the marketing to product packaging to voicemail/answering machine recordings to the appearance of your employees and everything in between.
