Just like most retail businesses, Christmas is our busy season. It is the time of year when we get most of our sales (behind back to school season), and as such, it is important for us to pay attention to it. In fact, it will start to get busy by the end of the [...]
Getting Ready for the Christmas Season
Choosing my Own Career Path
From an early age, my parents started grooming me for the career path that they wanted me to follow. You see, our family is from a long line of Tampa criminal defense attorneys, and I was expected to follow suit.
Truth be told, it seemed like a good idea when I started high school, but by [...]
I am Getting Older
One of the things that we can’t seem to escape no matter how much we try is time. It creeps up slowly on us and is constantly counting down until the day we die. I don’t want to sound too ominous here, but I guess it is a fact of life that I have been [...]
Grandma Is Paying for my College
Ever since I was a little child, my grandmother had talked about the great life that we would live as adults. She had taught us that education is important and that we needed to go to college and get an education so that we could have high paying jobs. Basically, she wanted the best for [...]
Incentive Programs on the Cheap
When some people think of incentive programs, they automatically think that these kinds of programs will end of costing thousands of dollars in unappreciated merchandise, but this does not have to be the case. Many times, your employees just want to feel recognized. And you do not have to go about this is extravagant ways. [...]
Not Sure I Want to Live At the Center of Power
I met this guy online who’s studying to be a Washington DC dentist. Well, not specifically that there’s a special “DC Dentist” degree or anything, but he definitely wants to go live there. He loves being at the center of the nation’s power and thinks it’s all very intriguing and exciting. He loves history, too [...]
Plenty of Summer Activities for the kids
Usually I look forward to the summer, but this year, I am not really looking forward to it. Due to our financial situation, both my wife and I need to work this summer, and we needed to figure out some sort of childcare for our children. We were really concerned that we wouldn’t be able [...]
Can’t They Solve This Problem?
I’m glad to see that there are many many more Incontinence aids out now than there used to be. It used to be that by the time you were around 50, you definitely needed a little help because of Bladder problems, but the only solutions seemed to be those bulky underpants.
Now I see on tv [...]
Skeptical at First
As a local business owner, I’ve been contacted by a couple of call center consultants to do some inbound consulting for my sales team. I’ve learned quite a bit from these consultants, and I’ve found how to maximize my returns by reducing my over all overhead. One big topic of discussion has been to outsource [...]
Easing Fears
Our babysitter is afraid of our house. We have windows along the entire back side of the home which opens up into the backyard and at night, with no lights behind the house, it can feel very isolating. She had babysat for us several times during the day but on her first evening of work, [...]
