I’ve done a lot of traveling over the past years, and for a while I spent a lot of time traveling through Orlando’s airport. What a zoo! All those families with Disney backpacks, Mickey Mouse ears, etc. It’s not that I don’t love Mickey and the gang; I just don’t want to […]
Are you the job? If you are then what are you going to be without a job? If you define yourself by work, well then that’s another thing all together.
My wife has an 86 year old aunt who works for the Social Security System. Without that job she’d be dead. Remember Woody Hayes, legendary football […]
The new b5media business channel blog, The Daily Blender, has some evidence that we are possibly entering a recession. Jennifer Heigel writes that Portland, Oregon restaurants are seeing a decline in patronage.

When the E-Bay reseller idea became popular last year, several people in my town jumped on the idea, but they quickly learned it wasn’t such a great idea. Sean Kelly at Franchise Pick discusses why these reseller stores may not be the franchise opportunity they were billed as.
Both of the people who signed up for […]
Jim Gordon over at the Boss Hatch blog has a great post on how to form an LLC. I have formed two of them, and they are super easy to form, without an attorney. Which is one reason attorneys often won’t tell you to form an LLC. They want you to form […]
Jennifer Hoffman is burning up the blogging world in her new post at My Organized Biz. She’s asked us b5media bloggers to comment on simplicity. Here’s my contribution:
I am a firm believer in the “KISS” principle - that’s “Keep it Short and Simple.”
Henry Thoreau said, “Our lives are frittered away by detail; simplify, simplify.” And […]
My husband and I have been thinking about turning our 401k/IRA money into annuities. But we are concerned about:
1. Outliving our money
2. Not having enough for “play money” for those cruises we want to take.
