An excellent resource for Business Owners

Posted by Maria Keiser on January 29, 2009

As business owners, becoming known as an expert is a wonderful way to market yourself.  However, the challenge lies in finding the opportunity to get your story or name in front of the reporters writing the stories.  The truth of the matter is reporters also struggle to find the right person for their articles. 

Peter Shankman has brought chocolate and peanut butter together.  He has created “Help a Reporter Out”.  A  tool that allows reporters, bloggers, and authors to submit their requests (they are the chocolate).   We the peanut butter, can subscribe to “Help a Reporter Out” to get notified of these inquiries, and fill the gaps for these reporters.    Thank you Peter for your brilliant creation.

To subscribe

Please note by subscribing you will receive about 3 emails per day with a variety of inquiries.  You will also agree to use the service for the purpose it was meant to serve.  Peter outlines all this on his site.

Good luck, I look forward to reading about you in the papers (all good of course)

Understanding the philosophy & psychology behind business is just as important as learning the skills of business.

 

 

We can go through the motions, complete the tasks, but if we don’t know why we are doing it or fully understand the concepts, then we become robots doing tasks and miss the big picture and scope of what can be accomplished.

Back in August Jeffrey Fox (Fox & Company) made a presentation to The Entrepreneur Circle “How to Prosper During Tough Economic Times”.  If you missed the presentation the video above provides some good insight as well.  If you attended, this video is a good refresher.
