Too many SMBs and entrepreneurs are too focused on “bringing the vision to life” instead of focusing on CASH FLOW. Keeping one eye on the pipeline and the other on expenses is what keeps CEO’s focused.

There is a fabulous quote in the Wall Street Journal article by Colleen Debaise, “Starting Up, and Conquering the Numbers,”

You can’t change the past but you can usually influence the future.”

True. True. True.

Some excellent comments on the article as well .

Is Your Website DOA?

On July 13, 2010, in Social Media, by Pam Gilchrist
Make Your Website Real Time And Searchable

Is Your Website D.O.A.

Much has changed in the past year. The most significant being Google launching real-time search in December. I have spent most of my day on conference calls with clients that desperately need to move their websites from static “brochure-ware” to dynamic easily updated models that have integrated social media widgets and RSS feeds.

The great thing is, with new content publishing tools such as Word Press, it is easy to make this happen and improve your SEO without paying for huge search campaign fees.

All National Speaker Association (#NSA10) convention attendees can join me for my Meet The Pros session in Olrando on Tuesday morning at 10 a.m.
