Posted by Lily Koi Grabbing more likes on Facebook isn't as hard as it seems. Open Forum offers six ways guaranteed to get your more Likes. For example: Donate to Charity PaySimple, a cloud-based accounts receivable provider out of Denver, Colorado is taking a touchy-feely approach to attracting ‘likes.’ “We are taking part in a month-long philanthropy campaign where, for every ‘like’ we receive, we will donate $1 to Kids Are Heroes, a non-profit that inspires volunteerism in children,” says Sarah Jordan, the company’s director of marketing, adding that the company is hoping to bring in around 200 likes and, so far, is up 40 from last month. If you’re inspired to try this but aren’t sure what charity will resonate with your customers, Jordan recommends the trial and error method to see what brings about the most interest.

Posted by Lily Koi If you work in retail, teenage employees can be your best friend or worst enemy, depending upon the kid (or the day... or the hour). Open Forum offers a few pieces of advice for advising your young adult superstars. For example: Explain Your Reasoning In addition to setting expectations, it is important to explain your reasoning for decisions and expectations to your employees. Next time you explain a policy or procedure, tell your teens how you came to this decision and why you want the task done this way. This helps the teenagers learn decision-making and also gets their buy-in because they know that your respect them. Kenny Moore, owner of North Carolina based Andy's Burgers, Shakes & Fries, tries to treat his teenage employees like adults. “They have spent their entire lives being told what to do. At Andy's, we tell them why we do what we do,” said Moore. Full story at Open Forum. How to manage your career. Photo credit: Fotolia Permalink Leave a comment »

Posted by Lily Koi Everyone likes to be affirmed. It builds self-esteem, makes you happy, and gives you motivation to keep working hard. However, as Open Forum points out, there are several potential downsides to positive affirmation. For example: Believe your affirmation is achievable. “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve,” said businessman and author W. Clement Stone. Said another way, the mind does not “buy into” what it either doesn’t believe or doesn’t see as possible. One of the most common mistakes of using positive affirmations is that people project them too far ahead of their current business situation. Repeating, I own a million-dollar business isn’t likely to create that business for you when you’re barely making a profit. The difference between what the mind currently sees and believes and the intended affirmation is just too great for that achievement to occur. Instead, focus your intentions no further than your mind registers as attainable....

Posted by Kate Rinsema Vegans might want to skip this post, but for the steak lovers out there, according to Antony Bowness of Quality Standard Beef and Lamb in England, this Steak Bouquet was a snap to throw together. “I get asked every year what I’d like for Valentine’s Day and I never know what to suggest. Soppy cards aren’t really my thing and it got me thinking about what I could make for other men out there like me. I had a ‘Eureka’ moment one day when a customer came in with a bunch of flowers. I started playing around with the idea and realized it was actually quite easy to do! I mean if you can make a dress from meat, then why not a bunch of roses?” Incredible that no one’s cashed in on this idea before. Full story at Hungeree via Design You Trust.

Posted by Kate Rinsema Science fiction seems to prefer their space missions filled with breathtaking adventure, nail-biting tension or simply the sound of human breathing, but it appears those crazy guys like to let loose up there in real life.

Posted by karoli k On any given day, one can walk on the paths of sycamore canyon near Malibu and hear the shrieks of the wild parrots.

Posted by Chris Abraham Because I have friends in high places, I have a full-access press pass at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), and I am very impressed. I am impressed because there’s a level of seriousness, passion, and intelligence that breaks every gross stereotype you might have about conservatives, Republicans, Neocons, and even Tea Partiers. If you underestimate the Right, you’re a fool. The Right is collectively pulling a Matlock. You remember the TV show Matlock, right? How Harvard-educated, Georgia-bred lawyer, Ben Matlock, intentionally indulged every good old boy archetype so as to woo the other side into a false sense of security before he ate their lunch. His success was directly linked to how completely he was dismissed and underestimated. The Republican Party and its associated conservative groups are, collectively, doing the small town lawyer act. And, as you may well know, if you ever run into someone who starts his argument with “I’m a...
