The Voice of Action
The voice that says "YES, this is the right decision", "No, let's pass on this", or even "Hmm, let's mull this over a bit." In each instance your voice within advises you to take action, even if it is in-action. But do you really listen to it, or do you scoff at the idea that you actually pay attention to your inner voice?

Online Advertising
When used effectively, the Internet is one of the most interactive, direct response mediums available today. Optimizing your online ads to get the most out of the internet's interaction and direct response will make for an efficient campaign.

Communication A.P.P.E.A.L.
To succeed as a business owner, you need to create and refine your "entrepreneurial voice." I believe that voice has three components: your private voice (what you say to yourself); your public voice (what you say to the world); and your personal voice (what you say to clients). These three voices, while distinct, still need to align and resonate with one another to successfully run your business. In this article, I offer a perspective on what makes your communication appealing -- those qualities you can cultivate in each of your three voices to be more confident, genuine, and effective in every area of your business and your life!

How Web 2.0's Innovative Technologies can Benefit Your Business
Web 2.0 is what makes interactive information sharing possible, and without it, the Internet wouldn't provide two way communication. The earlier years of the internet featured a very top-down business model where the large corporately owned websites created the content and the users of the sites viewed it. Web 2.0 has changed that. People have the freedom to voice their opinion, make social connections and interact with any group of people.

If Your Business had a Voice, Who would it Sound Like?
Every business has a voice that comes through in your marketing. That voice has the power to grab your prospect’s attention and hold it, or make them turn away in boredom or frustration. So if you’ve never given the voice of your business a second thought it’s time to reconsider.

Your Intuition is Speaking. Are You Listening?
The voice that says “YES, this is the right decision”, “No, let’s pass on this”, or even “Hmm, let’s mull this over a bit.” In each instance your voice within advises you to take action, even if it is in-action. But do you really listen to it, or do you scoff at the idea that you actually pay attention to your inner voice?

Listening to Your Inner Money Voice
When you spend money, do you hear a voice saying to you, “I shouldn’t really be buying this,” or “How am I going to pay for this?” Maybe you hear no voice at all. Is it so buried that you wouldn’t even hear it if were screaming at you? Find out the three questions you must ask yourself to help you listen to your inner money voice and be one step closer to financial peace!

Today's "rant" - voice mail
How often do you call a client and get their voice mail? 80-90% of the time, yes? So why do we keep delivering voice mails that ramble on letting everyone know how unprepared you were to leave a voice mail?! Here are some really simple things you can do to increase callbacks and decrease “message skipped/deleted”

Your Internal Board of Directors ... Part I: Who's In Charge?
Have you noticed? When it comes to running your business, you have a lot of different voices in your head. You have the voice that tells you to work on your business plan, and the voice that tells you that you need to answer that email. You have the voice that encourages you to write an article to promote your business, and the voice that tells you it would never get published. You have the voice that wants you to hire an assistant, and the voice that says it’s easier to do everything yourself. With all the chatter going on in our heads, it is actually amazing that anything gets done!

There is quite a bit of debate surrounding whether to leave voice mail messages or whether to just keep dialing a number in the hope that the prospect will answer the phone. We vote for leaving voice messages....why miss an opportunity to create an impression?
