oke up to a nasty surprise this month. Back in October 2020, I did my Last Minute Halloween Costume Ideas post. In my haste to find images, I included an image of Mike Pence with a fly on his head from the Vice Presidential debate.

Ever wondered why a chefs uniform is white?
We are all familiar with the look of a professional chef. They are all dressed in white, looking stressed and usually calling “service please” from behind a hot plate. Has anything about this image ever struck you as odd? Why would someone dealing with food all day actively choose to wear white? It probably strikes fear into anyone with a washing machine.

Increase Book Sales with Strategic Marketing
Imagine writing a book and not knowing if anyone would even read it? Or worse, writing a book without knowing how to sell it or get readers to buy it. Would your manuscript languish on the virtual shelves of Amazon for years with not-so-kind reviews? No matter how much you love writing and reading, most people won't discover your work until you find a way to market it. This is why increasing your book sales becomes so essential. The good news is many self-published authors have been helping others improve their book sales by sharing best practices and strategies they used to do the same. Whether you're just starting out or ready to take your game up, these tips can help you expand your reach as an author — even if you write fiction instead of non-fiction.

The Accident Response Team Promotional Vehicle: A Marketing Case Study in How to Stand Out in Our Noisy, Busy World Today. Top Story - December 2022.
Introduction As a strategic management consultant and professor, I can say that without a doubt, all companies - whether they are big or small, multinational or local, product or service-focused - struggle today more than ever with one thing: Gaining the attention of the people they want to become their customers. In an environment where we are constantly bombarded by stimuli, to the point where our senses can become overloaded with the sights and sounds of our modern, tech-enabled lives, marketing messages often get lost in all of the “noise.” Advertising and promotional efforts that are crucial to driving firms’ sales and revenues are often today simply lost in the milieu of our daily lives. And as such, whatever form of advertising media we are talking about, from TV commercials to social media ads to billboards and more, all of this paid promotion is easier than easier than ever for consumers to simply ignore - or to miss - with all the “noise” that is part of our very noise modern existence. This means that the marketing arms of all firms today are being challenged, more than ever before, with the task of getting potential customers to see them, to think about them, and yes, to buy from them. This also means that they must also worker harder than ever to justify all of the many dollars that go into their marketing, advertising, and promotional efforts.

Don’t Allow Negative People To Steal Your Dreams. Top Story - December 2022.
One of my favorite things I enjoy doing is helping other writers build their confidence. It’s amazing to see newer writers who are a bit shy and reluctant to share their writing at first succeed and develop into confident, talented writers.
