The Best of Times...The Worst of Times?
Today is March 12, 2009. I am identifying this day so you can get a perspective of where we are in the world. I don’t know about you but I am getting a little tired of what the media is exposing us to. Every statement seems to start with “during these tough times”, even commercials are getting on board with the negative jargon. Every statistic is peppered with “the worst since”, “highest since”, or “lowest since”. I question the mechanism for such quotes and who really cares? Even the weather has become “severe” weather with it’s corresponding lowest or highest recorded stats. I may regret saying this but I’m ready to hear more about Iraq, that has been pushed to the back page.

Financials for Business Owners: More Than A Look In The Rear View Mirror
Financial reports are the least understood piece of business information for most business owners. Yet everyone expects a business owner to understand his financial reports.

Basics of Credit Reports and Background Checks
Many employers would like to have a credit report before hiring, However, for job applicants, a credit report can seem like an invasion of privacy and unfair. The bottom-line is that employers need to approach credit report with caution and only use them if there is a business necessity, and further understand that here can be errors or items not related to employment. Job applicants also have rights when it comes to credit reports. Job applicants need to understand that credit scores are not part of an employment credit report and that employers do not request credit reports just to find ways not to hire. A credit report is only requested once a candidate is a finalist and there are certain positions where a requesting a credit report does make sense. This article surveys the use of credit reports and hiring.

What is the Difference Between Weather and Climate?

Communication Skills - What we need to be Aware of.
"Isnt the weather dreadful? Isnt it shocking? God it's a beautiful day" How many times have we heard and responded to statements like this? Well don't knock it as nine-tenths of people would not be able to start a conversation if the weather didn't change once in a while.

That dog won’t hunt
Here we are at the end of March already. I was talking with a friend the other day about an old farmer’s adage we used to anticipate in March regarding the weather: “In like a lamb, out like a lion.” Or “In like a lion, out like a lamb.” The expectation was that if we had harsh winter weather at the beginning of March we would have mild weather at the end – and vice versa. I have no idea why that is expected but it reminds me of all the little clichés that we accept as reality. As farmers we also used to cite, “Red in the morning, sailors warning; red at night, sailors delight.”
