8 Qualities to Seek in a Business Mentor

Carl Natale 17th November Career 8 Comments

    Hey, thanks for taking the time to meet with me. I have a favor to ask.

    Owning my own business is relatively new to me. I’m figuring things out as I go. And since I work from home, I don’t have the chance to seek feedback and discuss options with coworkers. So I was thinking that I could use a business mentor. Someone to help me avoid some of the pitfalls of entrepreneurship.

    Maybe that someone could be you.

    Most Often Misspelled Words

    Melanie Brooks 16th November Communication 27 Comments

      I have a bachelor’s degree in communications. I have my master’s in journalism. That said, I’ll be the first to tell you that I am a terrible speller. Loving to write and being able to spell don’t necessarilly necessarily go hand in hand. That’s why I constantly use spell check.

      Many writers send me emails looking to contribute to one of the magazines I work for. When an email, cover letter, or resume come across my desk with misspelled words I get angry. These people want to publish articles and they can’t even take the time to make sure their query is spell checked? Please.

          Virtual Outsourcing: Rent a Coder with vWorker (Rentacoder)

          Joshua Riddle 15th November General 15 Comments

            So, you’re sitting at your desk and your staring at the most beautifully designed web application mock-up that you’ve ever seen. You can see the pages’ dynamic data and behaviors interacting harmoniously together. You can see the financial windfall that this application is going to provide your company. Then you realize that it is only a Photoshop image and everything you want the application to accomplish is still stuck inside your overactive — yet optimistic — imagination. All those bells and whistles need code to support them. The hitch is, you’re not a programmer. It sounds like you need a freelancer, a “rent a coder” — so to speak. The best place on the web for virtual outsourcing has got to be vWorker. Click Here to Read Article …

                What’s on Your Music Playlist – Specific Situations Edition

                Ana da Silva 13th November Productivity 9 Comments

                  Loud heavy metal used to make me get all my work done in high school and today I’ve no idea how I was able to think that way.  My brother calls me an “old geezer” since opera and folk are more of what help me focus and get work done —  though when writing I generally prefer silence.  Sometimes a few songs are sure to make me focus (or simply relax) so that I can focus, though songs with lyrics can be distracting as I always seem to pay attention to the lyrics.  In that case, electronica is the way to go.
