I’m Now A Published Author And You Should Care Less
One of my dreams (and one a lot of you might share) was to be a published author. Not blogs or articles, but published in a book. A book with a hard cover and pages and a forward by somebody who is a big deal. That dream, for me, came true last week. You should care less about that. Now, I’m not saying you shouldn’t care about the book. I am one of fifty-two contributing authors in this book and the stories within are highly personal and inspiring.

5 Golden Resources For Content Marketing Success
Unless your business still thinks the Yellow Pages are a great sales and marketing resource, you have likely begun efforts to beef up your marketing efforts with useful and original content. You know that being seen as an authority on subjects is a thing now, no matter what you sell. You also know that Google ranks your website on the amount of original and useful content you are generating. You are aware that your customers are more self-serve than ever and have likely made much of their purchase decision before they ever talk to you. Yeah, I said it: “Self Serve.” Inbound marketing is critical when customers do so much of their research online.

Tired of Murphy Pushing His Law Down Your Throat? Do This Instead.
During the course of investigating a customer’s software issue, I’m sure I overheard someone invoke Murphy, it may even have been me…We’re all well aware of Murphy’s Law, which over time has been distilled down to “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” Judging by the ebb and flow of sites dedicated to corollaries of Murphy’s law, as they apply to computers or computing, it would seem that there is a definite connection in our gestalt between Murphy’s law and computers.

Creating Your Own Happy Meal: What McDonald’s Can Teach Us All About Great Customer Service
I was running errands a few days ago and stopped at McDonald’s for lunch. I was greeted by a very friendly young lady as I entered the restaurant. I ordered my food at one of the new self-order stations and then waited. While I was waiting for my food, I noticed a very positive vibe among the McDonald’s crew. There was laughter and light hearted chatting, they were clearly enjoying their work day. The manager, who was also laughing and chatting, noticed me and told me that I could have a seat and they would bring my food to the table. I declined her offer and told her I didn’t mind waiting at the counter. I was actually thinking to myself that I didn’t want to sit down because I was enjoying watching this very engaged team led by, what I was assuming, was a great manager. My assumption about the manager was confirmed a few minutes later when I overheard one of the McDonald's crew tell a customer, “She’s a great boss!”

If you’re in sales or if you’re a business owner then you know that year-end is a time of year for mixed feelings.
