Not Just Another Business Blog

Why another business blog? As Calvin Coolidge said, “… the chief business of the American people is business.” Although this observation dates back to 1925, I believe that it is still valid today. As a business owner, an employee, and a consumer, I know that business touches every aspect of our lives. And in this blog, I would like to address many of the themes that are of major concerns to all of these groups: accounting and finance, sales and marketing, information technology and the Internet, risk management, ethics, leadership, performance management, and human resources.

For companies to prosper, they need to continually monitor and respond to these issues and the rapidly changing regulatory, technological and fiscal climates. And so much material, including an abundance of blogs, has been and is being written for businesses.

I would like to distinguish this blog from many others by dealing with some topics that I consider “sidelights” – topics largely ignored in other blogs and in business articles — as well as with the larger issues. Also, because no one can possibly be an expert in everything, I would like to have other writers, specialists in their respective fields, contribute articles.

I hope that you will agree that this is “not just another business blog.”

For those of you who may be considering blogging yourselves, I would highly recommend blogging for Business by Shel Holtz and Ted Demopoulos. I would also like to thank www.marketingsherpa.com for introducing me to this book.
