Cloud Computing: Look Up! There's a Computer Cloud Storm Approaching
The barrage of information and opinions surrounding cloud computing is drenching the web. What do you know about cloud computing (if anything)? Does it excite you? Scare you? Are you an early adopter or will you wait for some of the fall out to settle before entering the cloud? The phrase itself conjures up both a vista of endless possibility and a confusing place where it is hard to see.

I'm reminded of a quote from a cartoonist "most people believe the world is a confusing place that ultimately leads them to a buying opportunity." I laughed so hard when I read this, I laughed 'til I cried
Opportunities vs Information
Quit confusing "information" with "opportunity."
Market Perspective
September was a long and volatile month in the financial services industry and markets are taking most investors on a wild and sometimes frightening ride. The news about corporate failures and bailouts is confusing and the economic news is disheartening. That said, I wanted to remind you that we have a financial plan in place that assumed we'd hit rough patches like this eventually. People react emotionally to money and volatility, and this fact is not new.

A Case for Traditional Websites
Getting involved in social media is a great marketing tactic to add to the overall strategy, plus engage with clients and your community. However, it's not a good idea to completely replace a traditional website with all social media, all the time. One, your public still needs a place to easily find basic information about your company and products or services. Think of your site as home base and integrate social media with it. Two, this approach is confusing to the visitor and defies all the basics of usability and conversion.

The Behavioral Targeting Promise Land?
You can use every trick in the book to attract people to your website in order to sell them something but if once they get there the experience is lame or the content is confusing then you've wasted your money. It's always nice to attract more people to your site and no one would argue against spending money to do it, but if once people arrive they find it confusing, irritating, ugly, non-functional, or boring then you've lost them for ever.

Beyond \"Near-Life Experiences\"
We will all eventually die. The real tragedy is failing to fully live. Too many people are having "near-life experiences." • "How many people work for your company?" "Oh, about half." • "I think you're confusing me with someone who cares." • "The most dangerous place in this organization is at the exit door around quitting time. You'll get trampled." • "Working is like a nightmare. I'd like to get out of it, but I need the sleep." • "I used up all my sick days, so I phoned in dead." • "I've developed a new philosophy, I only dread one day at a time." • "I feel better now that I've given up all hope."
The 3 Kinds Of Confusing Brands And What To Do About Them
“What do you do?” Such an innocent and curious question! And in the small business world, it’s where so many conversations go horribly wrong. As the other person starts to answer, a funny thing happens. The conversation starts spinning out of control. Maybe they’re talking too much. Maybe they don’t really know how to answer. Or perhaps they decide, on the spot, to make up and “try out” a new reply they’ve never given before. In any case, the person who asked the question in the first place goes from curious to confused, and starts looking, desperately, for the door. Don’t be the business owner who’s confusing the nice, curious people you’re meeting. Here’s a handy guide to the 3 kinds of confusing brands and what to do about each one:
Being In Between
When I am coaching business owners - at any level- there comes a place and time when they are in the midst of letting something go and creating something new. They are often "in between" where they were and where they are going. Let me tell you - I have been there - and it is not an easy place to be. In fact it can be quite uncomfortable. Leaving behind the known - even though it may not be the best place for you - is not easy - especially when you have not yet experienced where you want to be. But being "in-between" has incredible value. Let me explain.
