Sparks is hot in Indy! Join the excitement!
What a crazy, exhilarating ride it is to be involved in a new launch or start up. The enthusiasm is palpable and you just want to set all the “regular things” aside and jump in and make things happen. Lucky for me, my “regular things” often include new launches and exciting events. Three projects of note lately have made me think about the way I was viewing life. I’ll admit that my excitement level had waned and I was feeling a little stuck and mired down and while new and exciting also means challenging and demanding, it is really good for the soul on all levels. Let me tell you about one of them. Zapped! by Chris Reed It started with a re-connection with...
Read More5 Steps to Writing a Great Testimonial
The other day I heard a colleague on the phone with a service provider. They had been working on a project that I know both sides of that phone call felt had been the definition of forever pulling teeth from a wild boar. It had been painful. In that final call, I heard my colleague thank the vendor and then he said something that caught me by surprise. He said, “You have been so patient and helpful through this whole project.

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...
