http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/146 All too often, practitioners and service professionals who maintain a high degree of integrity with the work they do find it challenging to grow their business--- or to even think of the service they provide as a “business”. What general happens is they find themselves continually trading time for dollars with no room left to pursue other important activities such as marketing, follow-up, networking, operational duties, or developing other revenue streams of their business, etc. Tue, 15 Apr 2008 10:30:10 PST en-us http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/146 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/146 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 10:30:10 PST The Page County, Virginia landfill scandal is a powerful example of how government touches our lives – with bribes, nepotism, Mafioso connections, abuse of the poor and the uninformed citizen, and just plain jackbooted ugliness. This demonstrates how ordinary citizens and taxpayers are abused by a notion that governments – even local governments – are sovereign, all-powerful and can join with criminals to rape the public, without the slightest fear of punishment. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/120 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/120 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 04:58:37 PST In the course of building your business, there are times where you may not actually be sure of what next steps to take or even what questions to ask. I help entrepreneurs with business development and small business funding support and coaching and these are the very questions I hear from clients during our first meeting. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/145 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/145 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 02:13:42 PST Here are some things you can do right from the beginning to build value in your business. These are important items if you want to attract funding, experts, customers and large contracts. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/147 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/147 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:28:52 PST I’ve heard it literally thousands of times from inventors and start-up entrepreneurs “I have the best idea on the planet --- why can’t I get anyone to invest in me?” Every entrepreneur has the opportunity in this country to seek funding to help launch their idea yet very few do it successfully. It has everything to do with the opportunities you can actually create for yourself. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/148 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/148 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:50:36 PST There are several things make your website an effective marketing tool. Among the most important are search engine optimization (SEO) techniques, social media marketing (SMO) techniques, building testimonials, creating a simple and easy-to-use system, writing and promoting articles on a regular basis, maintaining communications with potential customers, building drip marketing campaigns for each product or service you sell, and more. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/187 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/187 Thu, 10 Dec 2009 02:04:07 PST If you are running a small business and are extremely budget minded then you probably know that it is far more difficult than trying to run a large business with lots of funds. Usually the same person functions as the accountant, the marketing manager, the HR and above all the CEO as well. But now, there is so much competition that even a small business has to be a precise and customer centric business model. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/189 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/189 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 09:28:20 PST Business process outsourcing is a growing trend among businesses looking to reduce costs, and focus on their core business practices. More companies are turning to business process outsourcing firms to handle non-essential day-to-day business functions. These functions can include IT, hr, and payroll to name a few. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/191 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/191 Wed, 05 Nov 2008 03:25:29 PST Most small business web sites have very little or no interactivity available to users that are looking to be engaged and participate in useful web sites. I have included a short list of some of the basic turnkey functionality we have available with the Net-Teams core software. You can use some or all of this functionality and attach some or all of it directly to your web site. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/195 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/195 Wed, 26 May 2010 05:10:44 PST 2/27/09 12:00 PM 1 hr 30 min Carbon Credits - Will a Futures Exchange be the Next Bubble for Investors? This show features experts in the arena of Carbon Credits. There is a lot of buzz about this new area of commerce, but what does it really mean for investors and "Green" companies? Hear from Ian Adlington of Newport Capital, Investor, Entrepreneur, Market Maker for Carbon Tax Credits; and Green entrepreneur, Chris Pollatos, CEO and Founder of Verdant Energy Solutions, manufacturer http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/198 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/198 Wed, 06 May 2009 06:30:25 PST Often vaccines are blamed for Autism and there maybe something to that, although some studies seem to indicate that ultrasounds during pregnancy might also be a real problem. This makes sense as the brain cells are forming in the beginning the slightest problem could cause them to fail to make the needed connections. How can that happen? Well, because sound echoes inside the womb and heats up the unborn fetus, that would normally be protected against just about everything. http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/224 http://www.articleadvocates.com/articleadvocates/Display.cfm/224 Thu, 11 Dec 2008 08:32:35 PST
