Mobile TV\'s Messed-Up Marketing
For reasons unbeknownst to me (okay, almost certainly hoping I'd say nice things about their phone and service), Sprint bestowed on me a freebie phone some time back, as well as a full-service package of voice, video, and data. I've cheerfully taken advantage of having a second mobile phone -- it comes in useful when in the car on long conference calls and needing to order take-out pizza -- but I have to confess that one aspect of it has surprised me.
If you’re going to make the leap, give yourself an edge by choosing one of the top online businesses available today.
For most of us, financial stability weighs heavily on our minds and often keeps us up at night. At one point or another, we all suffer the pain and frustration of being an employee; of being at the beck and call of our “superior,” someone who dictates the majority of our waking hours… and we let them! Don’t feel guilty or embarrassed about this; just accept it for what it is – an example of how not to live your life – and prepare yourself for the day when you call your own shots.
Keeping the "Human" In Human Resources
How to remain grounded and recognize that human resources is not about numbers, it's about people.
Tips On Writing - Are You Speaking Your Customer's Language?
One of the funny things about humans is we all expect other people to communicate in the same way that we do. However, what researchers studying a science called Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) have found is that people see and make sense of the world differently. We each have our preferred ways of representing the world in a similar way that we prefer to use either our right or left hand.

Offline is the New Online is the New Offline
Funny how these things go. For a while we all happy with disconnected apps, tools like Word, Powerpoint, Access, and Excel that were PC-only software. And then it was cool to discover online apps that could do many of the same things, or at least useful variants, like Gmail, Writely, etc.

Sales and Up-Selling is No Joke
Everyday in addition to the basic spam of email, friends send me jokes. Some are funny, some are not. Those that are truly funny have a nugget of wisdom or enlightenment within. Here's a story that I like and it not only makes sense, but delivers a common sense sales message that we can all learn from. And, that's no laughing matter.

Former VCs Discover Entrepreneurship is Hard Work, and VCs are Assholes
Funny article in the SJ Merc about VCs turned entrepreneurs newly discovering that a) startups are hard work, and b) many VCs are clueless assholes. Nothing like being whacked in the head by reality to learn things that the rest of the startup world knew a long time ago.
No Trespassing
It’s sometimes funny how everyday experiences can spark off thoughts about deeper things. I recently had an experience with neighbours about an unclear boundary between our adjoining properties that was causing confusion with access, maintenance responsibilities etc. There was no clear dividing line!

CARVE YOUR SUCCESS KEY
I had just finished commenting to my husband how much I liked the use of copper in the Parade of Homes' kitchen we were touring, when I overheard another woman telling her husband how much she disliked the look. It made me laugh. It's funny how we see things differently.

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!

Help! My Team is Broken... You are not alone
What does communication, or lack there-of, cost your company each year? How many people on your team, at the moment you are reading this email, are doing a task that in some way will have to be reworked or redone? Funny, we always seem to have time to do things "right" the second time around.

Working in Wicked Way
Being wicked may not be a useful personal or professional core value. Instead, be wickedly creative or wickedly funny (when things do not go as you have planned it). Be wickedly friendly when others play stranger, or a wicked leader when a meeting goes nowhere and you take charge of getting the results.
Social Distractions: How Wasted Time Costs You Money and Business & How to Get It All Back
Earlier in the year I received an e-mail from a client containing a funny article called "Study Finds that Working at Work Improves Productivity." I found it again on the Internet as well. Not only did I find this article to be refreshingly funny, but no matter how fake and satirical it was, it probably hit the mark on how professionals may be actually spending a lot of their day. I thought this would be a good time to talk about how important it is to actually be working while you're at work.
