LInux Steps Up To The Desktop

If you’re like me, you’ve considered eliminating Windows from your computer at some point. The upgrade scheme is confusing, and there’s an endless stream of hacks, viruses, worms, and exploits that target Windows computers exclusively.

Linux, by comparison, appears to be more stable. It seems to require less maintenance, and there aren’t any legal strings attached to it. It does, however, have a “geeks only” reputation that scares away many novices early on. Recently, Red Hat, a Linux software company, has made an effort to change that techs-only image.

The Four D’s of Effective Paper Management

A recent article I came across in the Wall Street Journal reported that the average U.S. executive loses six weeks per year retrieving misplaced information from messy desks and files. The cost in salary and lost productivity is enormous.

Paperwork has been voted the biggest burden for businesses. Time spent mishandling paper detracts from the company’s ability to service customers, increase sales and improve the bottom line.

Ten Tips To Jump Start Your Business Plan

You can sell absolutely anything if you do it the right way. The trick is to create a value in your customers mind and… Do it in the right way.

Grow Your Business By Being Visible

What stands in the way of growing your business? The usual response is to do with external factors and things that are beyond your control, such as the economy and lack of buyers. This may be true to a degree and yet often what is required to grow a business is for you to grow as a person. You can continue to look outside of your business for the reasons that stop it growing or you can look inside your business and to yourself to see what it would take to make it grow.

Car Signs Get the Word Out

I know people who have been having TREMENDOUS success lately by having car signs on their vehicles. There have always been those who have had their logos and ads on their vehicles – insurance agents, pizza delivery ads, towing services and such. Guess what? They WORK. People driving around from all over see those signs and an idea pops into mind that they can use the service or product, but now no need to shop the yellow pages to look for it.
