Why Do So Many Businesses Fail?

Since beginning this experiment I've had a lot of time to think about things during my seven mile walks each day. It seems all we hear about in the news lately is how all the mega-corporations are failing. Whether it's a company that is completely destroyed and forced out of business due to corrupt managment, or the government needing to jump in an bail out the automotive companies. The fact that I even know what's going on in the world is amazing, since I boycotted the news back in January and haven't began watching it since that time.

5 Tips for Writing Quick-Read Copy

Click here. Buy now. Free trial offer. The world of advertising is full of short and snappy copy promising instant gratification. After all, most prospects simply don’t have time to read thoroughly.

Long blocks of copy tend to overwhelm readers. They snooze, you lose.

Latest Fiction for the Sales Force - No More Hunters/Farmers
