How to Find the Jingle Bell Spirit

By Bob Cox | 12/13/2008

I used to gripe about the “inconvenience” of the holiday season. Too often, I felt that my work goals suffered because people I needed to get in touch with were simply not available.

How to Establish “Brand Presence”

By Mark Morgan Ford | 12/11/2008

The end goals of direct-response marketing (DRM) and brand marketing are entirely different. Direct response wants to get the customer to provide information or open his wallet. Branding, on the other hand, wants to get the customer to remember the product.

Economy and Markets Often Go Separate Ways

By Andrew Gordon | 12/11/2008

Since we’ve had negative S&P 500 growth in every quarter of our current recession – which began a year ago this month – it may seem that a falling economy is always accompanied by a falling stock market. But this is not true.

Can Cellphones Really Give You Cancer?

By Dr. Al Sears | 12/11/2008

The truth is, cellphones have not been around long enough to give us the kind of long-term studies we really need to know for sure.

The FDA says, “The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using wireless phones.” But they then add, “There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are absolutely safe.”

And there are several theories on how it works to clear the arteries.

The Circle of Life

By Robert Ringer | 12/10/2008

Throughout much of my life, I paid little attention to the miracles that surrounded me. I was too busy thinking about business and money… too busy being annoyed by annoying people. I had no time to think about the real world – the world that matters. Nature and I were perfect strangers.

Consider Investing in Long-Distance Properties

By Dean Graziosi | 12/9/2008

Some of the most successful real estate investors you’ll ever meet will tell you one thing: Invest where you live. This is the advice I give to my students, especially if they’re newbies. Though you may hear about hot areas a hundred miles or more away, think carefully before investing there. Why?
