The (almost) surefire method for getting publicity
You know your business is good, and so do your customers. Potential customers may think it is good, but they do not really know for sure; after all, your advertising is just you telling them, and these days everyone is a tad skeptical. That's where PR comes in.

The majority of meetings are unstructured, uninspiring, and unproductive. But they don't have to be that way.
How Steve Nash shines in basketball - and business
To watch Steve Nash is to observe someone uncannily at ease with change, and no one better embodies the metabolism of our times, when industries, technologies, and careers are in constant flux. We all need to be improvisers now, to transition between the jobs we have and the backup plans we may need to pursue in the current economic crisis.
