Utah saw an increase of 7.2 two percent in the number of self-employed business people one year. That's second only to Georgia's 7.6 percent increase.

The green movement has created a plethora of buzzwords. One of the popular phrases is emissions trading. And for good reason. Businesses, traditional and emerging, will soon be affected by this indirect carbon tax depending on where they fall in the supply chain. One possible regulatory system for limiting future carbon dioxide emissions is a cap-and-trade system. Under this system, permits to produce carbon dioxide emissions are issued by the government and then sold and traded in the m... more...

The green movement is creating new marketplace opportunities as a result of developing new green technology. One technology is smart grid software. Businesses, traditional and emerging, will soon be affected by how this technology will be deployed and adopted as they move into some version of peak load or variable pricing.

The green movement has created new marketplace opportunities with the emergence of intelligent green software. Industries, traditional and emerging, will soon be affected by the adoption or disregard of such technology as they move into some version of energy peak load or variable electrical pricing (where the current price is determined by the power load on the grid). In the not-so-distant future, companies will need to prepare for the application of intelligent green software that will... more...

The network marketing industry, Multi-level marketing, the insurance industry, and membership programs are often built around the idea of building an ongoing stream of income from one sale. When someone pays $97.00, or whatever amount, every month to maintain their life insurance or active status in their direct sales company, the agent or representative that introduced them to the company continues to receive a portion of that income.

It's always a good time to reinforce the importance of staying in touch with your list. As I've been telling my clients for years, the most important goal for your web site is to add visitors to your list. It's rare that first time visitors will buy something, and once they're gone, they may never come back. But if they subscribe to your list, they're giving you permission to invite them back over and over again. Now your job is to make sure you keep invit... more...

The green movement has created a plethora of buzzwords. One of the more popular phrases is "carbon tax." And for good reason. Businesses, traditional and emerging, will soon be affected by a carbon tax depending on where they fall in the supply chain. Wikipedia defines a carbon tax as a direct tax on carbon dioxide emissions, which is generated as a byproduct of combustion of fossil fuels, among other processes. Expanding on this definition, a carbon tax can be seen as an excise ... more...

Spring is finally on it's way and it's reminded me of the importance of planning for success... Last year I got out in the garden and did a complete overhaul.

It was hard work but really great fun! Our garde... more...
