Enough? Enough!

Have you gone above and beyond all reasonable requests, doing an exemplary job and getting no recognition? That is how Joelle saw her job. She worked harder than any of her peers, in fact she even picked up the boss' cleaning on her way into work one day. Not that he demanded it, it was just on the road to work and he was saying he needed a certain suit for an important meeting. Did he thank her? Well, he said, "Hey I appreciate that" and then went about his day. She was bummed. He could have at least given her some time off for having to make the stop.

Funke Adenodi Akinbuli Helps Disabled in Africa Live With Dignity & Respect

If you didn't already know, most of Africa’s disabled [including the blind, paraplegic etc.] citizens live in deplorable conditions. Most are unemployed and can be found on Africa’s major streets and highways placing themselves in harm’s way as they beg for money to meet their basic needs. Rarely will you find a paraplegic in Africa, for example, with necessary medical equipment i.e. wheelchair. Most navigate the streets and freeways on their hands. Sadly, a lot of Africa’s citizens have become desensitized to the deplorable conditions of the disabled partly because most are frustrated with economic and political conditions in the continent and are barely trying to keep heads above water. Others just have no idea where to begin helping and still most lack awareness of the plight of the disabled.

Taxing Your eBay Profits

As a small business person-slash-advice columnist I dread the first quarter of the new year. Not because in my mind my own business fortunes start at zero again every January or because I have already dismissed every New Year’s resolution I made when the clock rang out the New Year. No, the reason I dread the first quarter of the new year is that my email box floods with questions about business taxes and the IRS, my two least favorite subjects on earth.

Taxing eBay Part Deux

Several folks argued that just because their little eBay hobby generated a little cash, that didn’t make it a full blown business. It seems they consider the income from their little hobby to be financial manna from Heaven and thereby not taxable by earthly tax collectors. I’ve always been amused by folks who try to impress me with talk about their “little side business” but when the subject turns to taxes they suddenly refer to it as “my little hobby.”

Women Are More Savvy than "The Rest" Want to Admit

Think about it. Women dominate the web (almost) everywhere except at LinkedIn. According to "them" it's because women don't get it. You tell our wife...we won't.

We're betting females probably have more or better things to do. Here's why...

Action without Planning is Fatal
