    Branding Blunder—Creative Technology's Mistakes
    Recently I was interviewed by Marketing Magazine, a local magazine in Singapore that keeps close tabs on the marketing strategies companies of all sizes use to reach out to their consumers. I thought that this is an excellent case study of how important positioning, branding and marketing are for your business.For their feature story on Branding, the magazine asked f

    Business Yoga
    Have you ever talked to a service provider and thought they were wrong for you? Then you talked to your colleague and they raved about them. So you went down the path of hiring them and found them to be the “service provider from hell”. This is not an unfamiliar scenario.Business styles vary from company to company and within the company, from person to person. We tend t
    As we watched the horrific pictures of the Katrina victims in various parts of the gulf, and in particular the sad and sometimes infuriating pictures of those stranded in New Orleans, it never occurred to me that there would be anything good we could see come out of this. Almost an entire city destroyed, countless lives lost, and other lives changed forever. And as I received word that we had family members involved in the nightmare, that belief seemed to be reinforced. But there was a beautiful light at the end of this dark tunnel.

    The outpouring of help that came from this situation was something that one has to experience at least once in a lifetime to renew one’s faith in humanity. Family, friends, friends of friends, even strangers, rushed to the rescue of not only my family, but members of countless other families in the face of this tragedy. Our gratefulness cannot be measured and the gifts of love will always be treasured.

    A Time for Change in Career
    There are very few careers in today's working environment which can safely be thought of as being 'permanent'. Shifts in world trade, competition from Third World countries, the decline of manufacturing and traditional industries in the UK, and the rise of the service sector have already made an impact on the range of careers and jobs available.

    Gunfight at The Not-OK Corral
    There is a great scene in the movie, “Tombstone,” when the Earp brothers with Doc Holliday are facing the outlaws.Fingers on triggers, eyes riveted, one of the bad guys twitches, and the next thing you hear is an Earp boy lamenting, “Oh, no!”He realizes, at that split second, that Hell is going to break loose, and nothing can stop it.Conflicts with customers es

    Business Financing Options for Canadian Companies
    One of the biggest challenges for Canadian company owners is obtaining business financing. As a first instinct, owners usually try to go to the bank hoping for a business loan or line of credit. They soon find that qualifying for bank financing is hard, as the bank will demand collateral and three years worth of financial statements. Although large companies can qualify for bank fu

    But there was one act of kindness that was definitely surprising…and welcomed! There were 17 members of the family who had lost virtually everything. Of that number, five members were stranded in Mississippi without any means of transportation. They had fled their homes with almost nothing but the clothes on their backs. We had to get them to San Diego to my sister DiAnna’s home where they could try to pull their lives together. We just had to find a way.

    Money was pooled together, thanks to the kind assistance of many generous people. We thought about the bus, but that wouldn’t work. They were not running. Then, my hardworking sister discovered another route: Delta Air Lines. She discovered Delta was discounting their flights for Katrina victims trying to get to the safety of their families. Whatever they could do would have been welcomed and my wife Lisa and I were prepared to make up the difference. They just had to find transportation to Jackson, which was 90 minutes away.

    To our comfort, the Delta representative—Margaret—was an angel. Delta was able to discount their normal ticket fee by over 85%! That was more than anyone c
