Do's and Don'ts for Getting a Reporter's Attention
Nothing is more vital to your nonprofit's media success than knowing how to get a reporter's attention. So, to get an insider's perspective, I turned to Mark O'Keefe, Newhouse News Service's values and philanthropy correspondent. Mark provided these very concrete tips on how to get his attention:• Know the stories the reporter writes and make a pitch that fits with those subjects.

Recently while waiting for our lunch to be served in a nearby restaurant, my husband Michael and I were discussing our son’s upcoming science fair project. Michael was describing the steps that my son should follow to complete the assignment. While Michael was going through this elaborate process, I diligently tried to follow what he was saying, but I sat there completely clueless. As I struggled to gain a better understanding of what he was talking about, my normally affable husband started to show distinct sings of irritation.

Recharging Your Energy - Realizing When It's Time to Take Care of You!
" I can’t seem to get motivated or focused. I feel stuck, I feel tired, distracted… like I should be doing more and I just don’t feel like doing very much."

But what happens when the franchise is a mobile business? What happens when it is a mobile service franchise like a mobile dog groomer, mobile auto detailer or a sophisticated and strategically run window cleaning business?Some of these franchises do not come with a territory but do come with all the rest of the wonderful things that franchises come with such as a Brand Name, on-going support, training and specialized equipment.

His unspoken message was ‘what’s wrong with you, why don’t you understand me?” He then proceeded to draw his plan on a napkin in an effort to get his brilliant idea into my dense head. It worked.
