Common sense says that one should not spend more than they have, and if they do, they need to be able to pay for it plus the interest over a set amount of time or there will be severe consequences. Today, we find ourselves in a global economic recession, one that the majority of those alive today in the United States have not seen. And the response from the consumer, businesses, and the government is frightening. The U.S. Government is being urged to pass a stimulus package that is upward of $900 BILLION. Think about that for a moment. We as a country have not done a good enough job trying to keep our country afloat over the past twenty years, fighting the ongoing battle of budget deficit, year-in and year-out. I know I’m not telling you anything that you haven’t already thought of, but today I hit my tipping point. I received the survey question below, asking for my opinion on what a group called “Save Our Economy” is requesting – a national mortgage holiday for ...

15 years ago, in what seems like another life, I was fortunate enough to experience what we all strive for, having a job that we are passionate about. As the Cross Country and Track & Field Coach at Salisbury University, I experienced that passion. The hard work and effort it took to assist in building a solid program, coupled with the growth and efforts of student-athletes, striving to be the best they can be, provided an experience that I will never forget. But many of the same rules that apply in building athletic teams, apply in building successful business', business units, and project groups. The effort, common goals, and teamwork, provide us all with something we look forward to at work. So as I was digging through some old information, putting together a presentation recently on building strong teams, I came across something that I had written and given to one of those Cross Country teams back in the early 1990's. As I re-read the poem, it reminded me that the ...

Our Monday Madness entries are based on what the headlines are in today’s business sections and on topics that peak my interest. This segment will be a semi-regular Monday entry, and will include links to other blogs and news that I feel are interesting. So check us out each Monday and enjoy! Does Age Matter? While one of the most interesting, entertaining, and ultimately – most important job hunt continues (to see who will hold the title President of the United States of America / Commander in Chief), the one question that we will be hearing more and more often is “does age matter”? While the Democrats continue to box each other for the right to contend, the Republicans have named their man – John McCain. If elected, Mr. McCain would be 72 years old upon his swearing in ceremony in January 2009. Is 72 years old to old to run a nation? Is it too old to run a business? The debate will prove to be too long and drawn out, it was written about ...
