A merchant account conveys a host of benefits that can help your business expand to meet the demands of today’s time-conscious consumers. To apply for your merchant services account, simply follo
What would you tell a future potential employer about why you left your last job if it was because you were fired for having an office affair?
I’ve read some statistics that indicate that many couples admit to having met at work so certainly it does happen. Understanding your employer’s policy and what the possible consequences are for having an office affair before starting one are paramount.
Even if you aren’t fired, it could end up being a career-limiting
The number of business emails we send and receive continues to grow at an amazing pace. And from my personal experience, more and more of my clients that prefer email communications as a preferred communications mode. Email can be a very effective and efficient means of communicating. However, how many of the emails we send and receive can we honestly say are effective and
While I have worked with a handful of couples who met at work and ended up living happily ever after – at least so far anyways – having an office affair in my opinion is not a great long-term career decision.
Especially if it's a clandestine affair.
And it could be a career limiting decision with your employer if it goes REALLY bad.
I’m not referring to when two co-workers start seeing each other and where one or both of them are married to other people. If you need to be told that this is not a good idea, then an article probably isn’t going to help you see the light.
I’m specifically referring to when two co-workers who are both single start seeing one another.

- If you are planning on having an office affair without letting anyone know, how will co-workers and management react if and when they find out especially if there is a company policy against it? How will it then look if it appears the two of you were also deliberately hiding it?
- And if you are thinking about having an affair with a subordinate, consider the possible legal ramifications if this person gets fired and blames you.

In my last article, I talked about the overwhelming saturation of products in the marketplace and the complacency of the consumer to listen to (yet another) advertising message. I said that if you wanted to be successful with a new product, you should seek to establish a new product category.In this article, I am going to explain what this means.A product categor

Sometimes when we're familiar with a particular process, industry, route, whatever, we assume that everyone shares that same insight. The is especially true in the technology industry, where "tekkies" assume everyone else embraces the cyber-world as much as they do.
