Getting Over the Social Networking High Bar
The Bulldog of Self Branding You've heard about Social Networking, but probably think its just for kids or a colossal waste of time. But did you know that social networks like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn can be an effective marketing tool for your business -- especially if you want to reach people under the age of 50? Join Dr. Sean Harry as he covers the basics of these powerful and inexpensive tools and how you can best use them to listen to customers and reach new people. |

Are you a Thermostat or a Thermometer? "This Isn't Your Daddy's Downturn" is an appropriate theme for the upcoming Business Conference & Member Expo in March. Today's economic climate demands we redefine our core essentials – another expo theme – so we may seize opportunities in 2009. "Wait a minute…" you say. "Opportunities? What opportunities? People are being laid off, businesses are cutting spending, banks are not lending, credit is going up in smoke and you're talking about opportunities? What reality are you in?" Yes, things seem bleak. Experts claim the economic climate will get worse before it gets better. Oregon's unemployment rate is racing towards 10 percent. A friend of mine came home last month with a Mercy Corps pink slip, after getting her dream job there last summer. She's trying to dust herself off emotionally from the trauma of getting axed. Things seem bleak indeed. That's why now more than ever redefining core essentials – what's important, who you are, how you see the world – is crucial. Answering these questions begins with choice: Are you going to be a thermostat or a thermometer? Join me on March 18 to find out why this choice will determine your success in 2009. |
