Our U.S. flag. It’s been around a long time, and it has seen a lot of war and destruction, a lot of happiness and grief. It’s not Flag Day, but the flag is what I think of on the 4th of July.
Here is a great […]

Baby Boomers: July is a great time to take stock of your personal and business life. Although it is not the traditional time to do this, it’s perfect as a mid-year stock-taking and possible course correction.
Being a “words” person, I got hung up on looking for […]
Iowa’s smoking ban went into effect yesterday (July 1). The only two exceptions, as I understand it, are casinos (can’t stop those gamblers from smoking, can we?) and veterans hospitals (maybe on the assumption that they served their country and they have earned the right to kill themselves with smoking if they want).

My post yesterday about Boomers vs. Gen X’ers as shoppers got me to wondering about the differences between men and women as shoppers. So I did some research and I have some comments on how this research might affect your business:

I’m sure you’re thinking that’s an oxymoron: “Great” and “Graduation Speech.”
Every year people who are famous or rich (or sometimes both) get up and talk to college and high school graduation speakers. Humanity.org has cataloged excellent graduation speeches from 1936 to the present year. This year’s speech was given by Barbara Kingsolver titled […]
One last comment on my series on Bed and Breakfasts as businesses for baby boomers. In my interview with Linda Stroup from Olde World B&B, she mentioned that some B&B owners get “sitters” or caretakers to take care of their business while they’re gone.
Sounds like a great idea to me. The owner can […]
It seems the wristwatch is going the way of the sundial. Millenials aren’t wearing watches because they have cell phones to help them tell the time.
I remember my mother wore a wristwatch on a chain around her neck because she was allergic to the metal in the watchband. (I wonder why she didn’t […]
My husband and I just left our favorite B&B - Olde World Bed and Breakfast in Dover, Ohio after a wonderful weekend. As I promised in my previous blog posts (one, two, and three) I interviewed the owner. I’ll share this interview with you in two parts:
