Wed, 06 Aug 2008 15:03:00 +0000

"You think everyone would have something they dislike about their job -- with the notable exception of the people at State Bank and Trust in Fargo, North Dakota.

Locally Grown...Styrofoam?

Sat, 02 Aug 2008 16:12:18 +0000

"Every once in a while you come across an idea that just lights you up. Styrofoam has long been one of the unmoveables when it came to recycling (too bulky, not much money in it) and there wasn’t a viable replacement for it. Easy to make, lots of it, hard to sustainably dispose of, what are you going to do? Reducing the amount of it in packaging is one path, but is only less bad. What about an option that is all good?"

"Written on 8/01/2008 by Danny Gamache, the Success Professor.

One life habit that is often neglected is the habit of daily exercise. There are several reasons for this: too hard, too painful or the ever popular, I'll do it later, when I have time.

Physical activity is not as hard as you think. In fact, is not as painful as you think either (you should be virtually pain free after about a week. For a short investment of time each week, you will reap a ton of rewards.

So, don't put off exercise. Get educated on what you want to accomplish and jump in. I'll even help get you started on developing a plan for daily exercise.

Four Strategies To Work Smarter, Not Harder

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 15:59:28 +0000

Written on 7/28/2008 by Melanie K. of Relish for Women.

"I recently discovered a self evaluation form that allows you to determine which entrepreneurial skills or aptitudes you have or need to improve upon. If you are interested in trying it, you can find it here.

In the self-evaluation, there is a category called “commitment to work contract”, which basically evaluates your commitment to completing a job, with questions such as: “I will do almost anything to finish a task on time” and “I treat my family, my friends and my own convenience as less important than getting a job done.”.

I can see what they’re getting at: you need to be prepared to work A LOT. But to me, it’s about working smarter, not harder. To me, this category should be about project management and time management skills, not how much family time we are willing to sacrifice to get the job done. Isn’t that why many are shifting to self-employment in the first place? To have some flexibility to do other things?"

The 112 Year-Old Artist

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 15:58:37 +0000

Frank Calloway spends his days turning visions from his youth into lively murals -- and at 112 years old, the images of his childhood are a window to another time. Drawn on sheets of butcher paper and sometimes stretching to more than 30 feet long, his scenes give a glimpse into the early 20th century. Calloway, diagnosed with schizophrenia, lived about half his life in state mental health centers, where his talent lay dormant until he took an art class in the 1980s and began to draw again, and never looked back. "There’s a presence with him, I’m telling you, that feels angelic," said Rebecca Hoffberger, founder and director of the American Visionary Art Museum, which will feature his works in an exhibit in Baltimore -- his first airplane trip and likely the first time he’s left Alabama.
