To Communicate with Impact , Talk to an Ignoramus
Maybe the reason you're not reaching your audience is because you know too much about your subject! Find a sympathetic ignoramus, or hire one, to ask the dumb questions that you forget about, but that are foremost in the minds of your prospects, customers, and employees. Preaching to the choir is fun and easy, but learning how to talk to those who are ignorant about your products and services is a much more powerful approach.

Enron: Skilling & Lay: How Much Blame?
In regards to the Enron Collapse various parties have and may still be found to have a portion of the blame and shareholders and employees who have suffered most are certainly keen to see final outcomes to this situation. However one of the major contributors may never be accounted for; this being the market itself.
When we ask how much blame we are really looking at dollars lost. In December 1999 the share price was $US100 plus, in March/April 2000 period it was around $US55 to $US60. On 19th December 2000 the price was $US 0.19, that is 19 cents before Enron went into liquidation.
Using the Reported Annual results for the year ended 31st December 1999 and assuming no changes into the future, I have calculated the underlying intrinsic share price as $US4.54. This calculating is based on normal traditional discounted cash flow methodology.
Is it any surprise that the share price of Enron was destined to decline sharply? A rapid decline in share price can lead to a lack of confidence in the stock and further add to the decline in price.

Franchise Rule Making and Political Climate
Last Summer the Federal Trade Commission put forth a report for the Franchise Industry; 432 pages of study. This report asks Franchise Industry participants to comment on only certain aspects of franchising which were addressed between 1995 to 1999. It is good to see that the FTC is finally doing something after 10-years of sitting on their rear ends with a stick up their butts, however one has to ask what about the issues between 1999 and 2005.
