    The Wireless Quandary
    “The cautious seldom err.” Confucius“Be prepared.” Robert Baden-PowellTo begin at the beginning is always a good place to start. Let’s begin with a shocking statement by a senior government member of the Electronic Crimes Task Force, “Many businesses should never have deployed a wireless network.”He was referring, of course, to the many security issues and problems that wireless systems generate for his group. In addition to security, there are many other items to consider before an enterprise embarks on the path to wireless networks. During the fuel rationing era of World War II countless billboards advised, “Is this
    HEADACHE? CURE IT WITH SPIRITOL. Begin your headlines with YOU rather than WE.

    Yellow Page Profits
    The Yellow Pages are an advertising medium that shares many of the strengths of other advertising media while, at the same time, avoids some of its competition's limitations or disadvantages. As such, the Yellow Pages are best used to complement or extend the effects of advertising placed in other media. Like other media, the Yellow Pages permit an advertiser to select a well-defined geographic area, ranging from a neighborhood to an entire metropolitan area. Once the geography is defined, a Yellow Pages ad has permanence; Yellow Pages are kept as a regular reference. In addition, Yellow Pages support your other adv
    1. Attract prospects with your headline
    Use your headline as a flag to attract readers who are interested in your product. If you are selling a solution to premature hair loss, put PREMATURE HAIR LOSS in your headline. Your headline will catch the eye of everyone who suffers from this predicament. If you want teenagers to read your ad, put TEENAGERS in your ad. Be careful that you do not put anything in your ad that excludes prospects. For example, if you are selling a cellular phone that can be used by men and women alike, do not slant your headline toward men alone. That will only cause women to think that your ad does not apply to them.

    2. Appeal to your reader’s self-interest with your headline
    Make every headline you write appeal to the interests of your prospect and not those of the company that is selling the product. Instead of saying SPIRITOL WILL CURE YOUR HEADACHE, say GOT A HEADACHE? CURE IT WITH SPIRITOL. Begin your headlines with YOU rather than WE.

    Employment Law, Part II
    Look here it is, this is America for Americans; English is the spoken language. You must be immunized to come here since we have already gotten rid of major diseases like small pox. You must shower and shave and wash your hands if you work in a restaurant, hot water and soap after using the restroom. Why can’t we enforce the basics? Are we that naive to think that we have come so far this last generation? Look at what this is in reality. It is a joke; a terrible joke; anyone can do a better job than this. If America wants to not enforce it then we can do that too. But if we are going to tell people that we are doing the right thing then lets

    How to Establish a Problem Solving Strategy
    What do you need to be doing to succeed in life? What traps await you on your path? How much are goals really important? Is it true you can succeed the most in conducting the business you enjoy the most, or is it perhaps better to be doing something else? How to deal with people so that they love you, respect you and at the same time listen to you and follow you? These are just some of the questions most people ask themselves when it comes to success.And every question requires a clear answer if you wish to avoid doubting in your success and so making your path more difficult. But, is it at all possible to find the answers to these

    Improving Corporate Culture
    I believe that most organizations are miserable places to work. They are Corporate Cubeworlds. And no one is to blame. Companies have inherited their corporate culture from the Industrial Age and it just don't work anymore. People are unhappy and Corporate Cubeworlds are much less profitable than they could be.Before I go further, let me identify what I mean by the Corporate Cubeworld.Key Attributes of the Corporate Cubeworld:1. Work is a worker's primary responsibility in life and comes above family and personal concerns (even health) 2. If a woman takes time off to raise children, she becomes less valued and is deemed to b

    3. Sell your product in your headline
    David Ogilvy, an advertising pioneer of the 1960s and 1970s says that, on average, five times as many people read your headline as read your copy. So it follows that unless your headline sells your product, you have wasted 90% of your money. So your headline should do some selling whenever possible.

    4. Include your selling promise in your headline
    The best headlines promise readers a benefit, such as fewer cavities, cheaper gas, whiter clothes. Your selling promise is simply the greatest benefit that you are advertising about your product, so include it in your headline. This often makes for headlines of at least 12 words. People read long headlines as long as they (1) promise a benefit, (2) complement an intriguing visual, and (3) are part of an attractive ad design. Don’t shy away from long headlines. A headline is too long only when it uses one word more than is needed to sell its message.

    5. Name what you are advertising in your headline
