How Creative Branding can Help Boring Businesses
I come across a fair number of clients who apologize for their companies… “We’re sorry that manufacturing label paste is not the most interesting thing in the world.” Or, “There’s nothing we can do to stand out… we’re in the business of finding cheaper ways to for demolition customers to dump trash. We don’t dump the trash. We just research the cheapest way for them to dump their own trash. It’s really dry stuff.”Yes, neither of these companies is selling gourmet food, creating colorful board games, or packaging imported tea. Photographers often hear, “I’m not remotely photogenic,” to which they usually respond, “It’s my job to take a good picture—you just be you.” Design is the same. You do your job well and you know your market. It is a designer’s job to make you look interesting.The potential for creativity is everywhere. Just because you’re in a boring industry doesn’t mean you can’t be creative and use design to make your organization more effective and successful. Industries that support creative desi

All I had to say was, “Do you have a computer?” After the usual “yes,” I’d tell them to get on the internet and go to my site and they’d find out everything relevant to their needs (of course that went along with me finding out what

Success Is Between The Pages
During the past 100 years there have been more than ten million books published on some aspect of success, wealth, and happiness. How many have you read? Now, tell me if you think that in your lifetime you can read a mere .001 percent of them (that’s about 10,000). I know I can’t, and I read over one hundred books per year. So, what’s a person to do if they want to be happier, wealthier, more successful or have better relationships? Which books should you spend your valuable time reading? Which ideas are worth your time to evaluate, consider, or act upon?I wish someone during the past few hundred years would have taken the time and had the intelligence and patience to distill the core concepts and ideas from just a small fraction of these millions of books. We would then have a summary of the world’s greatest ideas from the most prominent and insightful thinkers over the past four thousand years. I was thinking exactly this as we moved from 2002 into 2003. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am not the above person.

Let me start off by telling you that I am by no means anything close to a techie. In fact I’m probably the furthest thing from one. It wasn’t that long ago that I didn’t know the difference between a keyword and a keystroke or a link and a website…but over the last couple of years I’ve managed to learn a few techniques that have raised my internet profile to the point where people contact me to become my clients.

Actually all it takes is some time to read, work on some simple steps, read some more, and listen. While the process is never ending it does have its rewards each step of the way.

Back in ’97 when I, along with a young fellow who kept calling my office offering to help construct my original site, posted my dangoldberg.com to the world, I looked at my site as an online brochure. It saved me the hassle of carrying around lots of paper and mailing out “stuff” that would probably wind up in the trash. All I had to say was, “Do you have a computer?” After the usual “yes,” I’d tell them to get on the internet and go to my site and they’d find out everything relevant to their needs (of course that went along with me finding out what

Incorporate Humor in Your Next Speech
Some speakers say, “I could never use humor in my speech; I just don’t feel comfortable with it.” I believe that anyone can use humor and that it is a valuable tool in speaking. Appropriate humor relaxes an audience and makes it feel more comfortable with you as the speaker; humor can bring attention to the point you are making; and humor will help the audience better remember your point. It can break down barriers so that the audience is more receptive to your ideas. First, let me make it easy for you to use humor. The best and most comfortable place to find humor for a speech is from your own personal experience. Think back on an embarrassing moment that you might have thought not funny at the time. Now that you can laugh at the experience, you understand the old adage "Humor is simply tragedy separated by time and space." Or think of a conversation that was funny. Remember the punch line and use it in your speech. Probably the least risky use of humor is a cartoon. The cartoo

Office Chair Savings and the Price Ranges for Ergonomic Chairs
In any business, finding your office furniture, chairs and supplies at the lowest price, is a smart business decision. Knowing how to find the chairs cheap is the first step to getting your space ready for business. Your type of business will determine your office chair quantities and needed functions. Good office chairs for your particular business do not necessarily come cheap. Shopping around and knowing the in’s and out’s of the office chair industry can really help when purchasing bulk orders of chairs for your business.Like clothing, some chairs feature no more than a well-known brand name, a great look and a mighty hefty price tag. And also as in the clothing industry, this “name brand” chair may be no better suited for your needs than another non-name brand chair at half the price.Sometimes paying for a name and fancier materials doesn’t make a positive difference in comfort or the ability of your office chair. However, buying the right chair at a much lower price, can definitely make a positive dif

My website optimization awakening started when a gentleman called me wondering if I’d mind being a link on his site. I said, “not at all.” Within a few months I received an e-mail asking if I could conduct a sales training seminar for the sender’s company. When I inquired where they had heard about me that responded that they had been to my website. With a little more probing I found out that they had been directed there from the link on the previously mentioned site. Hmmm…my little brain went into action and I realized that it wouldn’t be a bad idea if I began to try to get links on other sites as well as find out additional ways to gain exposure for my company through my web presence.

First, I began writing articles for other sites. Next, I realized that search engines looked for all kinds of items that helped in getting higher page ranks: meta name descriptions (phrases that describe
