The Game, and How You Play It!
Since playing “the game” I have used it as a brainstorming tool. When my wife and I began selling business training products in 2001, I was overjoyed to find a three-ring binder, Pen and Paper Games For Training, which contains forty different games and activities that can be used for business training, or as the binder suggests, “Putting the Fun into Learning.” The very first activity listed is “A to Z.” It’s “the game!” The description says, “This is a fun and interesting way to brainstorm by finding words starting with every letter of the alphabet. It can be used to explore definitions and ideas.”

Are You Using a Chess or Checkers Small Business Marketing Strategy
Until the day I learned to play chess I loved playing checkers. Both games require a strategy that maximizes a player’s ability to capture his opponents pieces without first losing his own. Checkers was fun. But the complexities of chess lead to more satisfying victories and defeats.
Lesson #2: Be Able to Say “I did it My Way”
No matter where young Tajiri went as a boy, it seemed he never quite fit in. He collected insects when most of his friends were cramming for college. He spent his money playing video games when most of the other kids were saving up. And, he always remained just a little bit to himself.

Lesson #3: Success Is the Never-Ending Search for Better
“The more I learned about games, the more frustrated I became because the games weren't very good,” recalls Tajiri. “I could tell a good game from a bad game. My conclusion was: let's make our own games.”

Lesson #3: “If you don’t have a lot of passion for it, you’re not gonna make it”
“I have probably the best personal collection of games you’re going to find anywhere,” admits Hawkins. “I’ve just been a nut for almost any form of software, but games especially whether it’s card games, board games, computer games, video games, I’ve just got a spectacular collection. And of course now I have four kids that are at different ages, so when we want to play, boy, we’ve just got a fantastic set of choices.”
Are You Playing to Win or Playing Not to Lose?
You may have heard the phrase "playing to win or playing not to lose." And while it sounds good to say "you're playing to win" in your business, what exactly does that really mean? Below are some signs that will show you which way you're leaning.
Future of Online Games
Online Games are games played over some form of computer network. Online games range from simple text based games to games incorporating complex graphics and virtual worlds populated by many players simultaneously.

We’re Starting to Take Virtual Sales to the Real Bank
We may have worked with Atari for over six years back in the real gaming system days but we never really had a long attention span -- long enough to play the games. We knew people who slept under their desks and lived on Coke/Twinkies when it was crash n burn to get games out. Folks still do but now they're talking serious money. So serious we people buy virtual goods/stuff with real money. Times have changed but the attraction of games hasn't. The games are more realistic, more immersive and more valuable. Serious men, women, boys, girls play them...serious men, women develop them...seriously there's a new breed of casual games !!!!

Bedtime it’s All About Winning – Really!
Now we like video games as well as most folks even though we're terrible at it and have the gaming attention span of a goldfish. But seriously we know what the bed is for (yes that too) but seriously ...play videogames? We admit that our ancient Atari 2600 was a little clunky to lug from the living room to the bedroom (and the big tube TV set) and it's nothing to grab our smartphone and iPad to dash into the bedroom and play an hour of Angry Birds with the wife. Sorry just don't see the point. Maybe we skipped that lecture in our family harmony class but playing video games in bed doesn't get our adrenaline going or relax us. Sounds a little...boring!

Phones Are Everywhere, But They Aren't Killing Home Gaming
Go out and play. It had a totally different meaning when we were growing up. Back then it meant get outta the house and figure out what you were going to do by yourself or with your friends. Today it means take your **** phone go outside and play, tired of seeing you playing in your room. And that's great because there are so many free games in the app stores. Yep lots of folks (of all ages) download the freebies and then they add items, add features, upgrade and BAM!!! you suddenly have a lot invested in those games. But it's ok because our son says it beats the dull lectures at school and friends say it gives them something to keep them awake in the staff meetings. Just hope your battery doesn't get too low you may have to listen or even take notes...OMG!!!
