Remarkable. Creative. Successful. Upmarket businesses push the envelope -- does yours?
Beyond the income goal you may have for the year, or the other usual ways you’d like to see your business grow and make a difference for your clients, there are countless ways you could make a significant difference in how fun and fulfilling your business can be for YOU this year (which, in turn, translates to your client satisfaction, and your bottom line).
It’s not that what has to get done is all that difficult. It’s that my mind has a way of magnifying things several times their normal size so that it feels like I must tackle Mount Everest when in reality I only need to take a little walk around the block.
Facebook’s new Graph Search is compelling, and the marketing is juicy. But what questions should we be asking ourselves — as business users, and as personal users too — when considering just how excited to be about it? Where do you draw the line when a business has behaved badly in the past?

If you’ve been in business for any length of time, chances are you’ve experienced each of these outcomes. The key is to learn from the unmitigated disasters, allow those that end before they begin to go gracefully and enjoy every moment of the ones that work out beautifully!
Can you imagine what kind of world we would live in if everyone did what they loved most? It pays dividends to get crystal clear about the things you truly love most and make those things a priority in your day-every day.
In the age of Internet empowerment, it’s easy to think you can do everything yourself. But when it comes to crowdfunding, existing services can help you get to the next level and build upon your do-it-yourself foundation.
