About Bill Gates
| |
| Bill Gates is the co-founder of one of the world’s largest corporations, and is himself one of the wealthiest men in the world. Sure, you already knew that. But, just how much do you really know about Bill Gates? Did you know that in university, he told his professors he would be a millionaire by the age of 30? Or that he used to sign up for classes that had the prettiest girls and no sessions on Fridays? |

No Laughing Matter.. or is it?
| |
| A zillion more job cuts, no credit available, healthcare costs keep rising, and on and on and on.
No laughing matter for sure… well, maybe. I contend that taking this economic downturn or any form of adversity 100% seriously won’t help you reverse your situation any faster, so you might as well laugh a little along the way. An upturned mouth is a must in a downturn economy. Hey, laughter is free and convenient – can’t beat that in today’s market!
In that spirit, here are a few of my favorite one-lines from comedian Steven Wright:

Comic Relief: Rx for Great Service in Gloomy Times
| |
| What makes a funny joke funny? The comedian creates a mental pattern and unexpectedly breaks that pattern in the last one or two words. Second, the construction of the humor is simple and easy to get. Finally, the lines have a "tongue-in-check" levity that is joyful. What if customer service could be unexpected, simple and joyful? It could bring comic relief to gloomy customers. Here's how!

Your Website's Missing Ingredient
| |
| "My mechanic told me, 'He couldn’t repair my brakes, so he made my horn louder.'” - Comedian, Steven Wright
We all want our websites to be more effective, and if you're like most business people you are constantly searching the Web for anything that will help. What you find is a cabal of experts armed with statistics, analysis, charts and graphs all pointing to how they can get you high-up on the search engines and drive more traffic to your site. The problem is that like Steven Wright's mechanic these guys are adjusting your horn when it's your brakes that need fixing.

Does the Present Buy American AccordBy-Pass Popular Opinion Relative to Protectionism
| |
| In the October 1st, 2009 Procurement Insights post titled “Buy American Policy: Economic Imperative or Popular Opinion,” I provided an excerpt from my interview with Canada’s Trade Minister Stockwell Day regarding the basis for the Buy American policy.
It was of course the Minister’s expressed belief that popular American opinion surrounding protectionism was the basis for Congressional support of the conditions associated with the stimulus bill that would block Canadian firms from accessing the US government market, versus the existence of legitimate economic imperatives. In short, the U.S. Congress was yielding to public sentiments. |

Want a $16/hr job?
| |
| For several years we’ve heard the horror stories – about how American companies are moving all their operations to other countries to save money on labor costs. Why would a company continue to pay $14/hr when you can find people willing to work for $4hr? And all the American jobs are being lost overseas?
