Weekend Ideas and Inspiration

Ideas occur day or night It’s been a difficult week for me, but at the same time it’s been productive. I’m no different than you, a solo business owner trying to sustain multiple projects without falling off the high wire.

Twice this week I left the office get work done. I returned to my cubbyhole at the library, which was extremely helpful, and I went to The Stationery Show at New York’s Javits Center. I hope to share some show products with you next week.

Anita Campbell posted a fantastic review of MySpace.com on her Small Business Trends blog. I’ve read articles that say MySpace holds promise for business owners, but I didn’t believe it. Now that I’ve read Anita’s review, my thoughts are vindicated. Read and consider it for yourself.

MarketingProfs.com features an article entitled, “Five Components of Effective Sales and Marketing Communication,” by Mark Organ. It details the importance of creating a tailored message and multi-step campaign to get your target market to say “yes.”

Claire Tompkins of Productivity Goal interviewed me this week for her One Question Series. Liz Strauss of Successful Blog was the interviewee last week. Claire dared to reach into our minds to find out what top three productivity techniques we favor most.
