    How Productive are your Meetings?
    "Unless someone is looking for an excuse to duck a work assignment, nobody wants to attend an inconsequential meeting." - Bryce's LawINTRODUCTIONAs a businessman, one of my favorite movies is "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" featuring Steve Martin as an advertising executive trying to return to Chicago during the Thanksgiving holidays.

    Business Website Marketing - Don't Make These Ten Mistakes!
    Creating your website is an investment in your business. When done right, it should be a powerful part of your overall marketing mix. Too often, businesses make the same mistakes when building or maintaining their website.If you're planning a website development project, be sure to keep these ten areas in mind. If you currently have a website, use these ten as a checklist and see how
    Are there many people asking themselves, “What the hell is this bloke talking about…a “Favi…what?”

    I said a FAVICON. It’s one of those little images you see to the left of the URL in the address box of your browser (at least, the IE browser anyway - where the IE logo normally appears) and more to the point, it turns up next to the URL when the website is saved into your Favorites - or Bookmarked, if that’s the term you use.

    If you're still not clear, go to Google’s main search page (www.google.com) and save it to your favorites. You'll see the little (16px) square "G" logo. That's a favicon. I'm no expert but logic suggests that the name is a derivative of "Favorites Icon".

    I think, as I expect does the average client, that they give your website an air of professionalism or assurance that you're a "going concern". As always, appearances are important and anything you can do to make yourself stand out against the other bloke is a plus, especially online. The good news of course, is you can have one if you have the most basic of website skills - and a website over which you have backend control.

    Do You Need Help Writing Your Resume?
    If so, keep reading. Writing a resume, while not complicated, is rather time-intensive and requires a fair amount of thought. You can’t get around it, though. You need one. You need a GOOD one. Unless you are the CEO of a major corporation, you will need a resume just to get a foot in the door (Read: Get an Interview).To start things off, don’t think of the end result just yet.

    Clients are Customers, Too!
    Whenever a discussion of growth takes place, the issue of customer service necessarily comes into play. Why? Because, the simple truth is that an organization only grows when it is effectively communicating with and satisfying the needs of its customers.You can be the best at what you do, but if your billing is inaccurate or late, if you take too long to produce what you are being

    Wholesalers: What Are They? Who Are They? Can You Deal With Them?
    What is a wholesaler?Think of a wholesaler as your direct link to purchasing from the manufactures.

    Obviously, the first thing to do is to get an image. You can pay for an artist or graphics outfit to design and make it but most people can turn out a half decent image with the right tools. The secret is to keep it simple. Basically, it has to be simple, as its only going to be 16px square and a lot of detail is not going to show up at that size.

    I use two tools that serve my purpose well. Windows Paint® program and a wonderful image editor call Irfanview®, which you can get free at their website, irfanview.com. However, if you prefer, or have another image creation and editing tool, go for it.

    As I said, the secret is to keep it simple. Too much detail or too much colour in such a small image will just end up being a blur. The best way to create your image is to make it in a larger size (say... around 30 - 40 pixels) so it's easier to work with and then use your editor to reduce it later. Make sure you make it square (all sides equal).

    Once you have your image in Paint®, save it as "favicon.bmp". Saving an image in anything other than bitmap in Paint® can distort the c
