Why Does Coffee Cause Bad Breath? | LifesLittleMysteries.com
We tend to smell like the food we eat and the liquids we drink — what we eat and drink is digested in our stomachs and intestines, and the chemicals in these foods and liquids are passed on throughout our bodies through our bloodstreams.
Using Great Storytelling To Grow Your Business | Fast Company
Every two months, I pull together a community of innovators. We meet somewhere in New York City, usually a boardroom overlooking a park or cityscape. But last month we all found our way into an acting studio operated by The TAI Group to learn about storytelling.
The members of this group certainly already know something about the topic. They are senior executives at some of the largest corporations, partners in some of the most prestigious consulting and private equity firms, and several cutting-edge entrepreneurs. But the more you know, the more you realize there is to learn, and this group wanted to learn more about how to use effective storytelling to drive change in and grow their organizations.
The Pros and Cons of S Corporations | AllBusiness.com
Once you’ve made the decision to structure your business as a corporation most likely for the liability protection a corporation offers, you still have a decision to make: Will you form a C Corporation or an S Corporation? Tax concerns often play a major role in this decision. Like the partnership business structure, S Corporations do not pay any federal income taxes. Instead, the business’s profits and losses
Sales and Marketing Funnels – Taking Stock: A Self-Evaluation | Getentrepreneurial.com
For self-employed professionals and small business owners, it’s essential to periodically assess what is and isn’t working in your business, and then to make the necessary adjustments. Because small businesses often don’t have the flexibility of larger firms, this periodic evaluation is even more important for you than it is for larger companies.
Are We Guiding Our Ship? | Boaz Rauchwerger
Did you see the story on Thursday about the shelling and sinking of that rust-stained fishing trawler in Alaskan waters?
The Ryou-Un Maru, about 200 feet in length, was swept away as part of a giant debris field generated by the 9.0-magnitude tsunami that struck Japan on March 11, 2011.
The U.S. Coast Guard sank the trawler after it was determined that the unmanned vessel posed a hazard to mariners and Alaska’s marine environment.
This ship, until its sinking, was drifting aimlessly, unguided, across the Pacific. No one was onboard running the ship and guiding it by using the rudder to get it to a specific destination.
Isn’t that an interesting analogy to life? Too many of us, including me in the past, set sail for an un-specified destination. We don’t define specific goals and then we get upset when we arrive at the wrong destination.
We don’t use a mental rudder to guide our journey and to make course corrections when necessary.
The majority of people, some estimates have it at 97%, do not write down specific goals and then they get disappointed with what the future gives them. What is the difference between no written goals and that ship drifting across the Pacific?
Nothing.
And what happened to that ship? It was sunk.
That ship, during its nearly 13-month drifting journey, traveled about a mile per hour. That’s not a fast pace. However, when you add up all of the miles it traveled in 390 days, that’s a lot of miles.
Time, for all of us, goes by at one minute at a time, 60 in each hour, 1,440 in 24 hours.
May I suggest that we all take a moment today to write down some specific goals for the next five years, for the next 12 months, for the next 30 days, for this week. Make the short-term goals believable and then take action.
Let’s identify where you want your ship to go, give it some power with specific, achievable goals, and let’s keep our hand on the rudder in case we need to make course adjustments.
You are special. You are unique. You are destined for greatness! Have a powerful day!
A Goal-Setting Affirmation
This week I’m writing down specific 5-year, 12-month, 30-day goals, and goals for this week. I’m taking action on my believable short-term goals.

A Smart Way to Take Credit Card Payments | AllBusiness.com
Interchange fees. If you’re a small merchant, you know how irritating they are, because you have to hand the bank a piece of the transaction each time a customer pays with a credit card. The fees average around $2 on a $100 transaction, and they really pile up. Interchange fees are the second-highest expense for most small merchants, after labor costs.
But like a lot of other annoyances in life — mortality, taxes, etc. — exorbitant interchange fees (and the hidden charges that often go with them) are unavoidable. At least, they have been until now. Recently, a disruptive little device that plugs in to a smartphone or tablet has made it easy for merchants to swipe customer credit cards without paying through the nose for the privilege.
