Read MoreCan Blogs Really Make a Difference?
Words and words in blogs are more far-reaching and have a greater impact than you might imagine. Let me tell you a story about one of the blog posts I recently wrote about my experience at a pond class at Nature’s Choice in Brownsburg. If you read the post, you know I was excited about going and very impressed with the class and everything I learned. I took lots of pictures primarily to augment my own learning. I knew I would forget a lot of what I was taught before I started the project at my house. A week or so after the class, I stopped by Nature’s Choice to pick up some more rocks because I was creating my own version of the pond-less waterfall and I mentioned...
Read MoreStories and Surprises Catch the Eye of the Public
It’s always a surprise what I am going to see as I traverse Hendricks County. This time, I had to pull over to take some photos of this scene in Brownsburg: Several dirt track winged sprint teams were on their way from Kokomo, Ind. to Iowa and over-nighted at the Comfort Suites in the ‘burg. Of course, with a lot this big, it was perfect to work on the race cars, so they did. From February until late fall, these teams make their way back and forth across the nation. One of these teams was from Pennsylvania – and hadn’t been home in a long, long time. You...
Read MoreYou must be an expert if you are a small business owner
Want more media coverage for your small business? One of the best ways is to become an expert. “Who me? An expert?” you ask. Yes, absolutely you! You started your own business because you felt you could do something well enough to make a living, right? Well, if you are good enough to provide a product or service to actual paying customers, you must know enough about it to be an expert. Take, for example, Sammie Bracken, owner of Mr. Electric of Central Indiana. He provided (expert) advice for the Just ask column in the February, 2012 Angie’s List magazine. I don’t know the exact distribution of the magazine, but this particular publication goes to...
