Everything I Know About Business I Learned from Colonel Flagg
Everything I know about business I learned from M*A*S*H's Colonel Flagg:

Think Positive, Think Success
There are many types of people in this world. However, today, and for the purpose of this article, I am going to put everyone into either the ‘positive’ type or the ‘negative’ type.
Put Your Procrastination COWS Out To Pasture!
Do you want to find out what procrastination C.O.W.S are and how to get rid of them? This article will teach you how to put those C.O.W.S out to pasture!

Putting Business Communications On A Diet, and Media Training That Calls On Your Writing Skills
Business communications that forge a link between brevity and clarity are a crucial aspect of writing skills and communication training. It takes more effort to get to the point and support it in succinct fashion, but the payoff is business writing that honors the busy reader. Also, you can take advantage of media training and learn to be your own public relations agent -- at little or no expense. Just keep in mind that local newspapers need local news, and that could be you.

Power of the Spoken Word
Solomon once wrote, "Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul and health to the bones." This article shares a small tale of how one heart reached out to another in an unlikely place. Leaders cannot underestimate the awesome influence that can be made by what one person says.
Book Review: Branding Only Works On Cattle
In Jonathan Salem Baskin’s book, Branding Only Works On Cattle, he takes firm aim at the practice of the marketing practice of branding. He defines branding as building consumer awareness with the goal of influencing their future behavior. Simply put, he believes that branding is useless.
SO WHAT’S ALL THIS ABOUT BRANDING?
I get a little nervous when the subject of "branding" comes up because it's often a case of over-sold and under-delivered.
WHAT IS YOUR BRAND?
Each of us has a personal brand. It is made up of the feelings, impressions and images we leave with people.
Natural Search Engine Optimization or Pay-Per-Click
The internet is literally like having the world at ones fingertips. Not only does it provide families a cheap way to stay in touch (e-mail and instant messaging), it allows students to cram for finals and write last minute papers in the middle of the night, long after the library has closed, but the internet is suddenly a way for the smallest business to break into a global market.

The Joy of Labor
This Labor Day, give thanks for the work you do, and the difference it makes. Celebrate your contribution to your community, and our world. And, if you are not doing the “perfect” job for you, pledge that by next year, you WILL be doing the right work. Life is too short to spend it doing work for which you are not suited or passionate! You owe that to yourself and to the world. We need your best stuff, your best effort, your passion and your unique genius.

Quit Managing and Start Leading!!
I want to warn readers that this article can, and hopefully will be, hazardous to the health of managers. It was written with the intention to both offend and challenge those who treat people as human cattle. I was inspired to write this article after speaking with two friends, one a mid-level employee and the other a senior executive with a company that was recently acquired by a corporate giant. Both calls were depressing, as these loyal and capable people were totally disengaged because their companies were so focused on the bottom line and, in their opinions, no longer cared about them. Worst yet, both of these individuals were considering leaving their organizations because of a genuine feeling that their respective companies no longer valued people.

Keys to Branding Your Small Business
During the 19th and early 20th centuries, a rancher would mark his cattle with a brand. This brand, depicting an image unique to his ranch, distinguished his cattle from another’s in the event of a broken fence. Branding, in today’s modern marketing world, operates much the same way. It seeks to distinguish a product or service from the competition and create a lasting impression in a prospect’s mind.

Your Brand of Leadership
What does a ‘brand’ mean? In simple and historic terms it is asserting one’s right to ownership. Think about cattle being branded on the plains of the ‘Old West’. What the owner is saying is, this mark is my mark and anything or any animal that wears it is owned by me or originated from my ranch. Do you know what your leadership brand is? To develop your leadership brand requires you to know what you stand for.
Don't Let Your Group Drink Dirty Water-Be a Leader
There is an Akamba, Kenya, proverb that says, "Syaasya ndongoi, inyusaa muuluu." This wise saying means when a herd of cattle lacks a leader, it ends up drinking dirty water. This saying is based on an observation in which the last herd to get to the water source finds the water has been made dirty by the ones that arrived before it.

Some Holiday Traditions and a great Christmas Bread to Try Out
Most everyone who celebrates Christmas or other holidays around this time of year have traditions they preserve. If you have small children in the home, it is never too late to start celebrating traditions no matter how big or small they may seem to you. For your children who are already overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of the season, taking out some quality time as a family to decorate, bake, sing or any other number of things can make the season even more important to your children. My holidays are better because of my son, my dog, Mo, friends, family and this gift from God: Cattle on 1000 Hills. You will not find me on this site as I have enlisted the help of a friend to share his phenomenal story.

Why Does this Successful Internet Marketing Business Bear Such an Unusual Name?
My business, Cattle On 1000 Hills, bears a peculiar name since I do not sell land or cattle. Psalm 50:10 states: For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. God will never need our money but He desires our obedience. Upon discovering this fantastic home based Internet marketing business, I believed its name should be equally unusual. I wanted the name to point to the fact that God owns all we think is ours, all the material "stuff" we accumulate during our lives. We believe all that stuff makes us wealthy but as the old adage says: You can't take it with you.
The Dragon in my Basement Still Taunts my Internet Marketing Attempts
Undoubtedly, you have wonder how this article could lead from the Dragon in my basement to my Internet business at Cattle on 1000 Hills. Well, the Dragon represents my former life of cold and darkness before this tremendous opportunity came into my life. Before this discovery, I trudged to work every day with little hope of any change in the status quo. Well, actually there was a huge change. I got laid off!

Wise Managers Treat Layoffs as Last Resort
Despite all the trendy rhetoric about the importance of people, leadership, and values, far too many managers treat people in their organizations with about as much care and concern as so many numbers on a financial statement. They are just one more set of assets to be managed. These just happen to have skin wrapped around them. Phrases like "head count" dehumanize and objectify people. That's how we talked about cattle on the farm where I grew up. And that's exactly how too many managers view "their people."
