Lesson #2: Don’t Dream About Being Good, Dream About Being the Best!
When he was a young boy, struggling with the loss of his father and the difficulties of life in an orphanage, Monaghan spent his time reading biographies of great men who had come before him. Abraham Lincoln, a poor farm boy from Illinois, had used hard work and determination to become the President of the United States. Why couldn’t he do the same, Monaghan wondered? Or in reading Sears catalogues, Monaghan would dream about what it would be like to have a life where he could actually afford everything within its glorious pages.

Allstate Insurance
Founded in 1931, as part of Sears, Roebuck & Co., Allstate Insurance became its own public company in 1993, when it made history with the largest initial public offering ever in the country. Two years later, it became an independent company, and last year, it celebrated its 75th anniversary. Today, based in Northbrook, Illinois, the company has grown into one of the country’s leading personal insurers. More importantly, however, it has also become a model of community involvement and investment, demonstrating the possibilities and power of corporate social responsibility.

Social Bookmarking for SEO. Part I.
Social bookmarking seems to be the Web 2.0 version of what catalogues and directories were originally created for back when the web was born – sites that contain useful links. Or trusted links. Or categorized links. All kinds of links. But with social bookmarking instead of a few trusted editors for each directory (or topic within the directory as in DMOZ) here comes the power of the crowd that chooses the best sites and pages, instead or limited number of categories – myriads of tags that describe the links as precisely as possible and instead of just one place where the link would be found in a catalog, one wise submission to a social bookmaking site might mean tens or hundreds of links to your site syndicated all over the Internet.
Back to the things that worked
Is it time for you to go back to the ways you use to promote your business and sell your products and services? USA TODAY: 10/3/07 Sears Reviving holiday Wish Book Fourteen years after shelving its venerable catalogs, Sears is reviving the holiday tradition as it struggles to attract new shoppers and revive business.
Dropship Your Way To eBay Success
Dropshipping has been around since Sears first started selling goods from its mail order catalogs over a hundred years ago. However, the idea of dropshipping still confuses many people who don't understand exactly how the process works.
Entrepreneurialism
Last week in the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal there was an article on James Gutierrez. Gutierrez is the co-founder of Progreso Financiero, which he started in 2005. His company has brought in $26 million in venture funding, has partnered with Sears and has made 20,000 loans from 24 locations throughout California.
"Fingering the Goods"
"Fingering the goods" was a 1950's merchant expression for "shopping in a store." Except for the Sears Roebuck catalog, store shopping was about the only means for acquiring merchandise. On-line shopping does not let you "finger the goods." In-store service can give you an experience that can take your breath away.

Hydroponics in the Home for Seniors
Hydroponic gardening allows for personal choice and decision making. As studies have shown, it can be a tool to assist the improvement of the quality of life as well as the immediate environment. The Eden Care program is a great example of this. For the maintaining of self reliance and mental functioning, this method of gardening cannot be dismissed. Being able to pour over seed and equipment catalogues and dreaming of the results is not just limited to the younger mind.
Are Negative Tweets Pecking Away at Sears’ Reputation?
In the age of social media many companies have had to adjust their business models rather hastily, and in order to appease to the masses on twitter and satisfy the netizens on Facebook, most corporations have had to put customer service at the forefront of this new model. When one dissatisfied customer can virtually blast a business instantaneously and extensively, the advent of multiple dissatisfied customers can quickly become a veritable PR nightmare. The old adage “any publicity is good publicity” may or may not hold true in the virtual age, something that Sears.com is surely to soon find out.
