The Specials this Week are

Pick the Brain
Whether we are entrepreneurial spirited individuals, currently employed and even unemployed, we must operate with the proverbial “The Buck Stops Here” sign on our desks.

You Are the CEO of Your Own Life

lip-sticking
Running a business can be like that, too. Trying to connect with a market that is always in flux can be challenging and fraught with the unexpected, almost as a matter of fact. The marketing to real women online shows this better than anything because it’s immediate, now, focused, relative, and maybe a little volatile, at times.

Expect the Unexpected: Surviving the Social Media Tsunami

Manage to Change
Except for the Super Bowl, I never show much interest in TV commercials. But last week two new spots from Kaplan University got my attention.

The Future of Education?

Bold Enterprises
Words are power.

Their impact often out of proportion with their intent.

Looking for Power? Say Something.

Attract More Customers
With corporations hemorrhaging jobs, it’s no surprise that interest in self-employment is skyrocketing. For me, personally, a pink slip was just the motivation I needed to get off my ass and finally start a business of my own.

    I also saw the commercials for Kaplan University. It’s an interesting concept, but their website has too many “hoops” to jump through to find the info you’re looking for (curriculum, locations, financial aid) and too much of it is done in Flash (accessibility issues). Would love to see them succeed but they need to rethink how their website functions. The longer it takes to find information, the greater the chance that a potential student will just give up and leave.
