I learned about “Murphy’s Law” in graduate school. It basically says that “what can go wrong, will go wrong.” Although this law feels very pessimistic, there is value to it. It gives a framework for people to look for the flaws in their thinking. When one does that effectively, it’s easier to address potential issues […] The post Misner’s Corollary to M […]
I ended the year with a humorous graphic on my social media that said: Dear 2021: I don’t want any trouble from you. Just come in, sit in the corner, don’t touch anything, and keep your mouth shut. Although it was pithy and pretty funny, there is an important flip side to this sentiment. That […] The post 2020 – Finding the Good in Bad Times appeared first […]
After four decades in the business world, I have found that these three concepts truly summarize an entrepreneur’s recipe for success. First, you must be passionate about what you deliver to your customers and clients. Nothing great in life has ever been accomplished without passion. This starts by making sure you (and your team) are […] The post Passion, […]
Recently, my assistant, Dana made a couple suggestions to me. Afterwards, she asked if I minded her giving these suggestions. I immediately said that not only did I “not” mind her ideas, I actually wanted her to share them with me. I then told her the following story about an experience I had many years […] The post We Don’t Pay You To Think! appeared firs […]
The world can be a dark and contentious place. Illness, famine, poverty, hostility, and desperation are all around us. But it doesn’t have to be that way. The world can be a better place. We can make a choice — a choice to be a voice of change, a change that can transform the world […] The post Givers Gain® is Transformational appeared first on BNI.

Is there room for intuition in business? Yes, most definitely. Decades ago, I may not have thought that, but over the years I have changed my opinion and believe that intuition can be another tool in the business toolbelt. The definition of intuition is the “direct perception of truth or facts, independent of any reasoning […] The post Is There Room for I […]
by: Erin Perrin, Mortgage Expert with Academy MortgageQueen City BNI, Burlington, Vermont We’ve all heard the saying “glass half empty or glass half full.” These are interesting times we’re living in, and sometimes I find it’s hard to be that glass-half-full kind of person. Mind you, every day I am still telling my boys “the […] The post Obligation vs. Oppor […]

Joannie Sirefman, is a recent former Vice President and has our well-being at heart when she speaks. It is nice to hear about insurance from someone you consider a friend. She spoke about having cancer patients covered with more than adequate insurance in order to be comfortable. She brought a statistic to the conversation that really got me. It was the reality that 1 in 5 persons would be diagnosed with Cancer. Which if you looked around the room, was a scary thought in which we needed to prepare for.
Her subject was focused on the “Cancer Classic Plan”. She was able to show us numbers of how it really worked.
Here is a little on Aflac in which Joannie has chosen as the carrier she can most support in their vision and mission: Aflac pays cash benefits to the individual and does not conflict with any other insurance. With medical costs – co-pays and deductibles going through the roof we can help off set those bills when someone is sick or hurt. Our programs are affordable, guaranteed renewable and portable. Ask for it where you work!

From Michel Gunn of Gunn Multimedia Partners, Inc., we learned that from billions of entities on the internet, they aren’t all our competition; but a healthy few hundred-thousand show up in any given keyword search. For this reason, she explains why SEO is sometimes prohibitively expensive. (Some companies pay tens of thousands of dollars for top spots on Google, Yahoo, Bing, and others.)
She explained some of the ways to build a successful ‘Earned’ Search Engine Optimization (SEO) network for our businesses. ( I think we all realized now why the SEO specialists don’t divulge all the details.) Her agency does this work and they call it their ‘Guardian Angel’ Program.
“You must be thorough when hiring a SEO specialist. You need to understand how they get your phone to ring. And most importantly, is what they are doing is sustainable without throwing tons of money at it every month?”, she proclaims. Giving you periodic reporting is how she keeps their work transparent. Through Gunn Multimedia’s work, they build a foundation versus buying you a pretend one. This improves your search results organically along with building bulletproof conversion elements, and in doing so, there is a little voodoo involved (the linking and connecting). They love the science to it and enjoy building businesses solid ground — in a vast and virtual market place.
