  • Do more of this in 2026
    Dec 29 2025

    As you review 2025 and look forward to 2026, one thing to review is to look at what you enjoyed doing in 2025. What was that “thing” whether work related, hobby related, family related, that gave you joy. What made you happy, gave you peace, and did not feel like work? Wouldn’t it be great to identify that “thing” that gave you passion that did not feel like a burden or chore? Identify it and do more of it in 2026. You mind, body and spirit will feel it and will thank you. If it was that great vacation, plan another. If it was going antiquing, plan another trip. If it was exercising, eating right and getting your health back, keep working on it. How about making that dish or dessert at home that you always wanted to make, and you did it. Do more of it. Take some time to enjoy the good things in life that de-stress you. Work and life’s pressure, most of the time, will be there. Every second the clock ticks, is time you can’t get back. Keep that in mind.

  • Does Contract Sales work for Small Businesses?
    Nov 4 2025

    Contract sales or sales outsourcing can work for small businesses. There are some factors that determine if it will work for you business. In the short term, if you need some quick hits or fast sales over a few months, contract sales teams can prove to be beneficial. Contract and outsourced sales reps are typically ready on day one, when you need them. They have experienced sales reps, CRM, list, sales tech and prospecting tools to hit the ground running. Additionally, if what you’re selling is rather easy to explain and the price point is reasonable, sales can close fast. This leads to booking revenue, but also getting market data. This data allows you to modify your offering, pricing and sales approaches. If what you are selling is more complex and at a higher price point than the current market dictates, it can take longer to get those first few sales.

  • Job Market Slowing. Pay not rising.
    Oct 15 2025
    Cost of goods and services are seeing some pressures from inflation. Many businesses are absorbing the costs of tariffs if they sell items that are affected. Some are starting to increase prices. Not in mass though. The job market is somewhat frozen for new entry level positions. Many employees are not retiring, others are not moving to other jobs because of the current state of the market. That makes entry level jobs less available. Inflation is still with us, but not at the rate in the past. Prices are not dropping either.

  • Chat GPT is getting dumber.
    Sep 22 2025
    Chat GPT is feeding itself information from the web to provide answers to search queries. Lots of information on the web is inaccurate and at times blatantly false. When a query comes back with bad info and the user uses that info in a article or blog post, it keeps feeding the engine of Chat GPT with inaccurate information. So Chat GPT is getting dumber. For now you need to be careful and vet what Chat GPT is giving you. It will take time for it to decipher good info from bad info.
