I see lots of back and forth these days about how effective Facebook is as a business tool. Some marketing professionals claim to hardly ever log into Facebook while other swear they get all sorts of business via Facebook. While your mileage will vary depending on your business and your strategy, I think Facebook can [...]

I had a somewhat annoying experience today that made me pause and scratch my head. A sales person came into our office today unannounced and said she was “our neighbor” from a chiropractor’s office nearby. She was offering “90% off” a massage at their office and wanted to talk to everyone in our office to [...]

As many of you know, I’m a productivity junkie (I happily drink the GTD Kool-Aid) and love to tweak and improve my personal productivity system. In the course of doing this, I’ve settled on a few great tools that assist me with ubiquitous capture. This allows me to capture and retain ideas, actions, and concepts [...]

I had the pleasure of attending the Verio Partner Summit in Reston, VA this week (Washington, D.C. area) and had a great time networking with other Verio partners and team members. I also had the pleasure of sitting on a panel during a breakout session focused on helping business owners grow their businesses.

Today, SpinWeb launched a shiny new web site for the Network of Women in Business, also known as NOWIB. The site is located at www.nowib.com. I am thrilled to talk about this client because it was such a pleasure to create this site. The team at NOWIB was great to work with and everyone was [...]

As a board member of the Indiana Chapter of The American Massage Thereapy Association, I had the pleasure of attending the National Board of Directors meeting in Chicago this past weekend. Chapter presidents from all over the country were gathered to attend the board meeting and report key details back to their chapters. This year, [...]

As a member of a number of local networking organizations, I am always looking for ways to make connections between people in my network of trust. I notice, however, that not everyone is easy to refer to. Some people do a great job of creating a complete LinkedIn profile, have a good web site, and [...]

With all the different mediums available to us today, it can be an overwhelming task to try to keep up. For this reason, I recommend writing content that you can re-use. When blogging, for example, use the same post in your blog, your email newsletter, your Smaller Indiana blog, your Facebook note, and send a [...]

Those of us old enough to have grown up watching Star Wars will instantly recognize the immortal words of Yoda:
