Casual Articles - Just Say No . . . To The Unnecessary Press Release
Continuing now. . . My ancestors died to protect this land and her people and you guys sit in rooms posturing, with not a clue as to how life on Earth or the free economic system works at all. Not even a little bit. I have only met a handful of congressmen that I did not get bored talking to in five minutes due to their lack of intellect and contrived rhetoric. Now we see the extent of those carefully worded politically co

You’ve had your eye on that promotion for some time now. You’re bound and determined to get out of your office worker status into a supervisory position you’re certain you’re well suited for-- but apparently no one else is convinced. You watch others from your work group move on, out and up, and you’re getting seriously depressed. “What’s wrong with me?” you wonder. All your supervisor says is “There’s a lot of competition fo

IntroductionEntrepreneurship demands that a person is willing to take risks, venture and achieve results.

The Media’s Needs: Giving the media with what they need is the best way to capture their attention and goodwill. Provide them with relevant information and resources (e.g., spokespersons, reference information) that will help them do their job. Bombarding them with irrelevant press releases and follow-up phone calls only annoys them.
