I especially like…
Small Business Tip#39:
No one likes processes… but they are necessary for you to do what you do. A process is like a recipe, describing how you do what you do. Try taking on a section of your business a month and develop the recipe for how you conduct business… make it so what you do easy to do. When it’s easy to follow, you can hire others to do what you do and take a break once in a while. Nice eh?
David understands that it’s good to provide value in his blogs because people will follow him, and share him and his tips with others, like I’ve done just now.
Stay great David!

I am very proud to be part of a team of people who raised $2560 for a cause which is near and dear to my heart, and obviously so many others! All told, 1/2 million dollars was raised for Alzheimer Society yesterday!
Special thanks to those people who sponsored me personally- to the tune of $801!

Harness social media, says web marketer – it works!
DURHAM REGION, ON JAN. 10, 2009: When web marketing expert Sue Sutcliffe prepared for her annual Christmas shutdown, she decided to try an experiment with Facebook. She simply updated her status line on the social networking site: “Sue is working our “The 12 Days of Christmas Special”. Anyone interested in donating a prize?”
The speed and magnitude of the results astounded her. From that 16-word appeal, her Facebook friends pledged five prize offers within an hour, and nine within one business day. In the same time span, traditional methods – talking to people – brought in only two donations, but required substantially greater time and effort.
Sutcliffe runs aWEBthatWORKS.com, a Bowmanville-based “one-stop web shoppe.” She conceived of the contest as a way to sustain interest in daily entries to her web marketing blog, to keep her company name top of mind, and to stimulate business, but she also wanted to demonstrate the power of social media. She created a blog post for the each of the Twelve Days of Christmas, and a Facebook group that displayed the prizes, the sponsors and links to their websites. She generated community among them and leveraged their contact databases as well as her own to communicate her message. In a matter of days, the group grew to 69 members.
“What’s remarkable about this contest is that, other than two contacts, it was produced strictly through social marketing. Social marketing promoted my blog, and my associates who donated prizes. And what did it cost me?” asks the canny entrepreneur. “Nothing.”
“And it was a wicked prize pack.” She grins, rhyming it all off: “Dinner for two at the Cedar Beach Grill, a bottle of wine from Life in Clarington, a $50 gift card from Sector 57 Paintball, non-alcoholic beverages from Tracy Donnelly. David Cohen pitched in an hour of business coaching. Cleaning supplies & service from Turner Clean, a winter warm-up gift set from Inspired Imprints, a teleclass called “The Branded Business Funnel” from Essential Message. A free consultation from RMA Spencer Group, 10% off labour from Gary’s Home Improvements, 25% off video production from Modern Media Perspectives. And a free website starter kit from aWEBthatWORKS.”
Doug Wentzel, owner of Rise ‘n’ Shine Blinds (www.risenshine.ca), was the lucky contest winner. The 62-year-old businessman admits he hasn’t been on Facebook for long. He was delighted to learn that the prize was his. “What a great way to start 2009 off — I think it’s a sign of good things to come.”
“Social media is the new craze – it’s the new Internet,” says Sutcliffe. “Facebook has a hundred and twenty million users – isn’t that amazing?” she muses.
Sites like Facebook are no longer limited to the very young. At a time when businesses are practising restraint and the “R” word prompts worried frowns, social media is escalating into a promising — and economical — business tool to reach a burgeoning client base.

Many thanks to David Cohen of Small Business Big Ideas for inviting me to Royal Canadian Air Farce‘s final flight, the last episode of air farce as the show has been cancelled after 16 years on CBC.
The show was AWESOME… In the Parliamentary crisis, desperate leaders woo the Vice-Regal Decider; A store clerk works his musical holiday spirit; Jim Flaherty’s financial package has stimulated the wrong Dion; Jack Layton and a silent partner practise their coup-making; Friday Night News; Bank Lady Edith Wilkens and Jerry the Bitter Clown outline a new investment; A car salesman drives a self-squeezing bargain; Farce Flashbacks.
As usual, I took tons of pictures which are now up on my facebook page… http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=52701&l=07064&id=555021901
Watch for me (in the audience) when the taping airs – tonight at 8pm on CBC.
