CNBC recently released a ranking of U.S. states as to their competitiveness and top states in which to do business. CNBC used ten weighted categories and combined rankings for all categories to get an overall ranking.
The categories were (in order of most to least weight): cost of doing business (taxes), work force, economy (”solid” - […]
In recognition of National Retirement Planning Month in July, I interviewed Bill Losey, America’s Retirement StrategistTM , author of the book Retire in a Weekend: The Baby Boomer’s Guide to Making Work Optional. Bill is a Certified Financial PlannerTM and a Certified Senior Advisor and he has lots to say to those of […]
Now that the dust seems to have cleared in the Democratic presidential race, it’s time to focus on the path to November and the issues that are important to Baby Boomers in business.
Thursday Bram over at One Vote Matters just had a great post outlining John McCain’s business plan. If you go to the post, […]
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.”

In a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, this week Bill Gates continued his discussion about philanthropy by taking it to the business world. He talks about what he calls “Creative Capitalism.” The essence of this Creative Capitalism is “…an approach where governments, businesses, and nonprofits work together […]
I love Warren Buffet! The man is the third wealthiest man in the world and he still drives his own car around and lives in a three-bedroom house in Omaha. He is upset that he pays less tax than his secretary, and he doesn’t own a cell phone. Imagine that!
This post from […]
GOOGLE founder Sergei Brin recently was asked in CNN Money how to succeed this year. He said, “Success will come from simplicity.”
