    The Importance of Proofreading: Especially Hyperlinks

    Proofreading is so important! How do you want to be perceived?  As a professional?  An intellectual?  As the person everyone in your industry holds as the gold standard? You can make or break your reputation in the emails you send, the advertisements you create, and the information you put out for the world to see.  Yes, I must admit I enjoy seeing the Buzzfeed Autocorrect Fails and the comedy segments that highlight unintentionally hilarious misprints in ads, etc.  But imagi

    Social Media: A Small Business Owner’s Best Friend!

    Many small business owners are unaware of the impact social media has on today’s consumers. Even SBOs who are aware can be too busy to research what, when, and how often to post, as well as how to consistently manage these social media platforms. An SBO’s priorities tend to be focused on meeting the demands of existing customers, and less on generating new business. However, to achieve long-term business success, generating new business and creating brand awareness is vital.

    Tasks – Saying NO to Non-Essentials

    How do we focus on what is important and learn to say no to non-essential tasks? We all have an ever-growing to-do list looming at the beginning of each new day.  Sometimes the items on that list are leftovers that didn’t quite get finished the day before.  It’s hard to stay afloat with just our own professional and personal obligations.  When we pile on more and more tasks that aren’t essential it becomes nearly impossible to be successful.  Sometimes saying no can be hard.

    Your phone just chimed and you see the email banner across the top of your screen.  You’re not sure who sent the email and you don’t find that the subject line peaks your interest enough to click it open so you send it to the trash. Sound familiar? You go back to what you were doing and you begin to draft an email to a potential customer.  Once you have everything worded perfectly and have added the attachments you are ready to send the email.  Then you remember the email tha

    It’s Not WHAT You Say….
