Election 2008 - Why Vote for a Third Party

I've posted a couple of comments about this topic on another blog post titled Joe the Plumber. It was the a little off topic for that blog post. Simple question: Why vote for a third party candidate in this 2008 election? I'm an undecided voter. I don't agree with certain issues with both Republicans and Democrats, but I realize that either Obama or McCain will win this election and I need to come to a dec… Continue

Relating to the Small Business Mindset

A little bit about myself, I’m from the big company mindset. I’m finding inter-departmental “synergies”. I’m “aligning” marketing with sales. I’m “optimizing” business processes. I’m “segmenting” our customers. Last one…I have an “employee number” assigned to me. You get the picture.
