    What's your job ? What do you do?

    HOT! 
    Tactical communications would be reading your emails. Strategic communications would be getting a 4-star to give a speech about how not only would we never read your emails, but if we did, you'd surely like it! Sadly, my corner of the world deals with much more mundane and boring stuff.

    Sorry, I'd love to meet up but I'll be out of the state at a wedding. Any other dates available? Also, I'm right across the river from DC in Rosslyn, so DC or Baltimore works well for me.

    Create Value. What does it mean?

    HOT! 
    I really like the dog idea. I also think some sort of mental health counseling would be helpful. Depression is a serious problem for older folks. Have you thought about expanding beyond healthcare? What about other senior services (house calls for minor desktop computer teaching/repair so...

    Pitch Template

    Hi everyone - I have a huge opportunity to get a major contract for my business. I have a presentation to give the executive team and owners next week. I was wondering if anyone had a presentation template/layout they would like to share, or knew of a good place to buy one online. Thanks!

    Yes, it's a flying car...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    As a pilot - the biggest limitation is weight (useful load - fuel plus passengers/baggage, can only carry one passenger and limited luggage) and the potential damage that little rocks and other stuff would have on a plane/car going 65mph down the interstate. As a (future) business person - I...

    Why I am trying to make ONE dollar…and you should too.

    Welcome - I would search the usernames biophase and lighthouse as a start to get a good primer on ecommerce. I have found them both exceptionally helpful in my personal ecommerce pursuits.

    Studies are clear - the vast majority of people require significant sleep (>6 hours/night) for ordered thought processes, short and long-term memory formation, avoidance of depression, and other positive/necessary mental processes. Also, it's important to remember that high effort and high...

    video on google first page search

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    @Robert Francis - totally agree with you here. I have also noticed, both in the videos I have made and in the videos I have watched, that a lot of the rules and assumptions about video production have been thrown out the window. People will watch a "long, boring" video, made with standard or...

    Store is doing terribly, but we couldn't be happier. We learned A TON about business/ecommerce and all the assocated skill sets, and went through about a week-long post-mortem on why the business failed to be the success we had hoped. Through that, we identified an opportunity/market need in...

    video on google first page search

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Video (esp. Youtube videos) are quickly becoming the newest way to dramatically increase first page SERP standing. Google ranks new videos very highly. Small businesses should really be trying to lay claim to as much video real estate as they can, because as the concept catches on it will be...

    Burned Out, need help!

    Leverage the equity you have in your inventory and real estate and try to build another store. If you have customers that actually refused to do business with anyone but you - you are clearly providing a great deal of value in your market. Spend some time in other markets/areas, do some...

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Is it better to have a blog on a seperate domain pointing to your site, or have it be a page within your primary site? Is it better to have dynamic content on your homepage, or leave your homepage (optomized for your keywords) alone once the site is established/ranked?

    Business/Domain Name - unique and catchy or name with keyword

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    thanks biophase - I think the biggest problem for us was that as newbies, we picked a pretty hard niche to try to sell in. I'm sure an expert in ecommerce could sell in any niche, and given enough time we could have been successful too, but for our first try we picked a product class that, in...

    Business/Domain Name - unique and catchy or name with keyword

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    To be brief: - We did not do the proper research on the niche before entering into the market - We failed to do a proper competative analysis on our competition - once we did this, we realized there really wasn't a reason why people should buy from us vs. someone else - we didn't value the...

    What fast cars do you own?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    1992 Volvo 740 However, when I was in EMS I did get to drive the "fly car" (old police car given to the rescue squad) around 100 mph on an empty country road going to a call. Honestly, quite scary, and something I wouldn't repeat.
