Media Relations Training Should Focus On Knowing What Motivates Reporters
Automatically distrusting reporters could be a lost media relations opportunity. Welcoming them to your place of business or nonprofit and feeding their curiosity and professional pride by offering to act as a source ("on background," perhaps) could be a lasting step in the right direction.

That way, you're going after their only real agenda - themselves. When I run media training seminars for government agencies, nonprofits and companies, the first topic I address is "agenda." There's a misonception out there the media routinely pursue political or personal agendas in the way they cover stories. The real agenda is their professional success.

From Staplers To Sticky Notes: Why Desktop Items Make Sense As Proomtional Products
How can you position your company’s name and contact information where it will be seen many times every working day, just where it matters most? Desktop imprinted products might be your answer. When you give useful desktop items, such as pens and memo clips, to your potential customers, you’re ensuring that they’ll see your company name many times throughout their business week.

How to Own a Business, Instead of a Job
Every business is owned by someone who took on a risk with their time and money. So I believe that person should be rewarded. Too often as business owners we forget to enjoy ourselves.
