Wow, the first birthday of this blog almost snuck right past me. I was checking out the past entries for another reason yesterday, and noticed that the first entry was almost exactly one year ago. But as fate would have it, I noticed, and so today, we celebrate the first birthday of this blog.
I guess I should go ahead and give a slight history of the blog. It started because I didn’t have a place...

Now is the perfect time to communicate with your readers. You could send them a Christmas card (or Holiday card if you want to be P.C.), or a note of thanks for sharing this year with you. Let them know how much you appreciate them. While you can certainly stick with the standard tried-and-true methods of communication, I’d like to suggest that you do something just a little more modern and fun. ...

Everyone should at least consider incorporating their small home business. I’m no expert on incorporation, and I could never hope to be, so I’m not going to try to explain this whole process to you. In general, however, you should do some research on this because incorporating may have the following benefits for you (depending upon what type you choose):

I’ve heard some people reject the idea of having their own blog or site because they don’t believe they are capable of writing well, or they say they can’t type. I always counter that objection by saying, “Phooey!” If you are capable of speaking, you are capable of creating content.

Thanksgiving is less than a week away. For those of you in the US, you’re probably already thinking about planning the meal or looking forward to getting together with the family. Even if families cannot be together during the rest of the year, Thanksgiving is one of the holidays that tends to draw everyone to the same place. We all get to catch up with one another’s lives, and find out who...

Today, I blogged about motivation on my SEO blog, but that was directed towards a specific situation. Here, I’d like to discuss motivation in more general terms. Specifically, I’d like to ask you some questions. I’m interested in your thoughts and your processes. By sharing motivational strategies, I think we can all benefit from each other.
