Building a better Brick-and-Mortar with the Billion-dollar Web By : Don More than $117 billion passed hands from Internet shoppers to Internet vendors in 2004, according to the statistical research firm comScore. That’s billion, with a B. Compared to the year before, the figure represents a whopping 24 percent increase in sales.

Survival Without Computers By : Kerri Salls I was slowed down when my computer crashed and I had no data, no address book and not even my passwords to get back online. I didn’t think I was doing anything remarkable by bouncing back to productivity even with this handicap for a week.

Yes, I got slowed down, but nothing critical was lost and no appointments missed. Why? Internal reserves, resou... Business Growth Requires Individual Effectiveness By : Kerri Salls When we read about business growth in the top business periodicals, they always refer to the multi-national corporations. I’m not a large corporation. I’m not even incorporated. But for the purpose of this discussion, think of your business as a corporation.

Are You Missing Your Best Quality Improvement Ideas? By : Donald Bryant November 2005. Winter is just around the corner here in Western Michigan. The leaves are literally raining off the trees. Just this morning at breakfast as I looked into the woods and I could see a steady stream of golden brown, red and yellow leaves heading towards the earth.

Improving Your Social And Business Networking By : Dave Lloyd Social networking is not a new phenomenon - people have been meeting together for centuries as a way of expanding their friendships, increasing their sense of community, and establishing new business relationships.
