Throughout his-story and even up until this day there appears to be a concentrated effort to create opposition between the African man and the African wombman.  Think about it.  Slavery was the beginning.  Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to have your family taken from you?  Well this was done on a global scale for hundreds of years to African people and we have been affected.  Many will say that we need to get over it or they would like to pretend as if it does not matter in this day in time, but the reality is remnants of what we went through lingers in the air.  In addition when welfare was implemented the objective was for the African wombman to say fare well to the African man.  The attitude of not needing a man was birthed.  The African man learned how to disrespect the African  wombman from the slave master with words like whenches, bitches and whores...and this still goes on to this day.  The disrespect directed at the African wombman and the lack of respect given to the African man is an issue that reveals itself on so many different levels and I don't know about you, but I'm tired of it. In our ancient culture the male and female were both important because they created balance.   Instead of us complaining and directing our anger and frustration towards one another I think it's imperative that we first know we did not just wake up one day and decide to be in the state that we are in....some things happened to us. Secondly, we all need to work to make it better for the future of our people.  I created this T-Shirt to help change the negative vibes between some of us because words have power.  If you would like to be a part of  change purchase your T-Shirt now at SoulSeed Tees.

Recently I took my 22 year old son for a job interview at a local bank. I decided to wait in my car to read a book, while he interviewed. Instead of reading, I spent my time observing what potential interviewees choice to wear for an interview. To my amaze, I saw mini skits, stilettos, and jeans. I even observed one of the interviewees walking out with their shoes in their hands. Did they not realize, what impression this could leave. How you dress can either make or break your chances of landing your dream job. A first impression is a lasting impression. The clothes do make the man. My son did land the job with the bank, wearing his black suit, white shirt, tie, black shoes, a leather portfolio for his resume, a positive attitude and he did his homework by being prepared.

By now I'm pretty sure you know how valuable blogging is as a way to market your business. Not only is it an extremely low-cost way to spread the word but it’s a quick way to begin to develop brand awareness. Let's face it, regular websites are still a great tool for business but not nearly as effective as having a blog.

• Choose a topic. Take some time to really think about what the main focus of your blog will be. Will your blog be designed for a specific niche market, will you be sharing special tips and advice, is it for product reviews or do you plan to keep readers informed on specific service and product specials? Whatever it may be, keep your blog aligned with your original topic of interest. Readers can become easily disinterested if your blog is supposed to be about raising puppies but most of your posts are about your latest greatest recipe or your two silly kids.

• Generate traffic. When you first start a blog, it can be a bit challenging trying to get visitors to actually come to your site to read it. The quickest way to start the process (notice I said start), is to get your blog connected to a few blogger communities such as; BlogCatalog, NetworkedBlogs and MyBlogLog. These sites have good rankings in Goggle which means your blog will be indexed in the search engines allowing more people to find you.

• Spread the word. Here comes the fun! This is the part where you get to spend time and effort promoting your blog on your social networking sites, forums and groups. No spamming allowed – you want to bring traffic to your site not drive it away. If utilized correctly, twitter can be one of your best, if not the best, tool in bringing traffic to your site quickly. In fact, most of my blog visits come from the tweets I share with my followers announcing a new post. If your business doesn’t have a Facebook Fan Page, online community or twitter – get them. Make it easy for people to find you and for you to stay connected.

• Finally, be consistent. I cannot express it enough. Building a blog following is the same as building your business. It takes time, time and more time. Be disciplined and consistent with the time you spend posting and marketing your blog. If you got one reader from twitter, keep tweeting. Continue to do what works and have patience. If your blog has created interest for your niche and you are providing the quality content they want, they will come.

Let's face it, your personal and business credit is essential to your financial health as a small business owner. It's important to understand this and learn as much as you can about building and maintaining a good credit score for your business.

Having a business credit score of 75 or higher through Dun & Bradstreet is essential and can help you especially when trying to get lines of credit with vendors.  While cash loans, such as an SBA loan, micro loan or personal signature loan will require a review of your personal credit - your business credit score will help also in making a final decision.

Much has changed in the business credit industry today.  It used to be that you didn't need to always use your personal credit history when applying for small business loans or lines of credit, but that's not the case anymore.  You'll need a personal credit score of at least 680 and again, a D&B score of at least 75.  If your personal score is less than 680, it's time to start working on it right away.

Building your business credit is not something that can be done over night, but it is a gradual process that occurs over a period of time.  As your business grows your business credit worthiness should get stronger and stronger.

A good business credit score will assist in getting business loans, lines of credit and minority or woman-owned certified.  Your business credit worthiness is an essential part of growing your business and it also shows your leadership ability as the owner or CEO.

Below are 10 ways you can get started in building your business credit:

   1. Consider changing the structure of your business to a corporation, such as a Limited Liability Corporation better known as the LLC.  This is the most common structure that many small and micro businesses are using.   If you are not certain of the structure for your business make sure you discuss it with your accountant or attorney.

   2. Apply for a business checking account.  This is an essential part of the process in legitimizing your business.  It will be important for you to keep all of your expenses separate.  This is very important to do if you're incorporated especially.  It is also a plus to keep a minimum balance of $2500 in your account at all times.  This helps in establishing your credit worthiness.

   3. Develop your business plan.  Many times when applying for a loan or line of credit you'll be asked for your business plan.  This normally causes a lot of small business owners to procrastinate, because it can cause one to feel overwhelmed just thinking about writing one.  But, it is necessary and remember to get help doing it.  You don't have to write it alone and neither do you have to create a long 100 page document.

   4. Gather your business financials. Most of the time a lender or loan specialist will also ask you for financials.  This will include the Business Checking Statements, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Projection and Tax Statements.  Depending on the number of years you have been in business be prepared to provide up to 3 years of statements.

   5. Apply for your DUNs (a.k.a. D&B) Number.  The DUNS number is a 9-digit number that is used worldwide in tracking more than 100 million businesses.  It helps to build your company's credibility and helps vendors, lending agencies and others to verify that you are running a legitimate business.

   6. Apply for a business phone line that can provide you with a 411 directory listing.  This is normally with your local phone company.  Validating a business phone number is normally the first thing that vendors do to verify that you are indeed a real business.

   7. If you're a home-based business, consider also using a virtual office service that has a commercial address (not a PO Box or UPS Store).  This means that you should be able to receive packages there and anyone should be able to visit the office and ask for you or your company by name.  There are many such services popping up all of the US, so you shouldn't have a problem finding one.

   8. Make sure that any services you use are in the name of your corporation.  This should include: cell phone, office lease, any machine leases, business services etc.

   9. Start applying for business credit with vendors (Staples, Office Depot etc.) that report to business credit agencies, such as Dun & Bradstreet and Experian.  Make a list of items that you need in your business that can be purchased through a line of credit or lease, instead of using cash.  Don't just trust a vendor's word that they report to business credit agencies; ask if they have it in writing in their literature or credit applications.

  10. Only use 35-50% of your business credit cards spending limit. Business creditors get very nervous when you use anything larger from your spending limit and especially when you don't pay it off within 30 days.  This shows that you might be having a cash flow problem and they run from that.

Once you have received your D&B number, consider using the D&B File Creator Service.  This allows you to quickly place business accounts on your file and helps to establish your credit worthiness quicker.  In addition, it will be important to check your business credit profile at least quarterly to ensure that everything is being reported properly and that your score is getting higher.

As you build your business credit, it is also important to understand the importance of paying your accounts payables at least 7-15 days ahead of time.  This goes over well with business creditors and is reported on your Dun & Bradstreet credit report, which helps your score to go higher.

The information points provided above are suggestions based on the success that others have had in building their business credit.  It is not a conclusive list and there are many other things to consider when working on building your company's financial reputation.  However, it's a start in the right direction.

For those of you who don't know, I spent more than 25 years in radio and television news. I was everything from a reporter to fill-in anchor to assignment editor and producer. I even filled in as a photographer during my early days in TV.

Today, my role as a media consultant is to help those seeking media attention find it. That includes coaching and preparing clients so they will be, what I call, “media marketable.”

But those seeking media attention aren’t the only ones who need tips. Anyone who is or wants to be in the business of interviewing others should have their act together as well. With BlogTalk radio on the scene, many wanna be radio hosts have popped up.

So here are some tips for those of you who want to give your best as the interviewer on the airwaves:

• Never give your guest the questions in advance. Many guests will try to give you a list of prepared questions. It’s OK to accept them but let them know you may not ask any or all of them. Giving them the questions in advance allows them to rehearse answers and not come across as natural during the interview.
• Always check to make sure your equipment is working.
• Treat the guest with respect. The interviewee deserves respect whether they are the President or just an average Joe Blow.
• Take control of the interview. Don’t let your guest over your show.
• You are not the center of attention. Remember you are there to get the perspective of the guest not give your own.
• Do the research you need to, but don’t try to cram it all into your questions. Before you start the interview put yourself in the shoes of a member of your audience. If they were here, what would they ask?
• The interview is a conversation. It is not a confrontation. You are not there to make the interviewee look stupid.
• Shorter questions are better than longer ones. The more detail there is in the question the more difficult it is for the interviewee to track what you are asking. Be as direct as you can without being rude.
• Be sure of your facts. There’s nothing worse than being told you are wrong by an interviewee – especially when it’s live.
• Listen carefully to your guest’s responses. You might come up with some follow-up questions.

Being credible as an interviewer means being professional and prepared.

Writing for the web is not the same as writing for print. If you are going to be writing content that will be consumed online there are a few concepts that you need to get clear on. By now most people understand
the fact that we don’t read text online in the same way that we read text in hard copy such as a book or a newspaper that we hold in our hands.

People tend to skim online copy very quickly with their eyes.
The Internet is by nature fast moving and bright and shiny. Our brains and eyes move hyper-fast when we are online and if what we are looking at does not appeal to us, we can quickly get rid of it within a nano-second by clicking the next link.

As writers, we need to get in touch with the way our readers engage with our work online so that we can create a product that will be both useful and enjoyable by those who consume it. You want to craft content that makes your readers stop long enough for you to convey the message that you are trying to send. Your words must draw them in so that they can consume your content and in exchange for their attention you must
fulfill the promise of supplying the information they were searching for.

Write for human readers but with SEO in mind.
Another unseen audience that is consuming our content online is the search engines. Since our human readers’ eyeballs are our most important audience we write for them, but it’s also important to keep the principles of SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, in mind as we create web content.

Since many of us learned to write prior to the Internet age, there are a few specific strategies that we can employ in order to be effective at online writing.

• Do Keyword research and write content that focuses on one or two keywords while delivering concise information that the end user is
  searching for.
  
• Link to other related pieces of content within the site that add to topic.
  
• Link out to related authority sites that have high search engine rankings and provide additional information for your reader.
  
• Use images that illustrate your point and break up the text on the page.
  
• Write in shorter paragraphs allowing for sufficient white space on the page to give the reader’s eyes a place to rest.
  
• Use bullets and call-out boxes for the skimmers to grab information quickly.
  
• Use meaningful sub-headers to introduce ideas.

Tips for sharpening the saw:
This is a list of five tips that can help you to improve your online writing skills, but this does not pretend to be an exhaustive list. You’ll want to keep learning and constantly strive to improve your craft over time–’sharpening the saw’ as Steven Covey calls it.

1. Read excellent writing
While it might sound far too simple and obvious, but reading good writing is really the best way to improve your own writing skills. Read widely on diverse topics. Pick authors whose writing style you admire and read several of their books. Get suggestions for good reads from fellow book-lovers, or make friends with your local librarian.

Here are a few blogs that feature both excellent writing and compelling content for writers:

• http://www.copyblogger.com/
• http://www.problogger.net/
• http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/
• http://sethgodin.typepad.com/
• http://www.doshdosh.com/

2. Join a writing group
This can be tricky because a really good, established writing group can be quite challenging to find. You may end up starting one of your own, but find a group of fellow writers of varying levels of skill and accomplishment where you can share your work and get honest feedback on how you can improve it.

There are tons of writing groups online, but I prefer live groups because it gives you the chance to interact with other writers and create real relationships with real people who share your interests. Check out meetup.com to find a local writer’s critique group, or search online writing forums to find local writing groups.

3. Take a class
Visit your local University or Community College’s website to see if they offer an online writing class. It may, oddly enough, only be offered online, but you can find some live online writing classes as well. Other resources for online writing classes include:

• The Education Portal has an article with links to 10 Universities that offer free online writing classes
  

  http://education-portal.com/articles/10_Universities_Offering_Free_Writing_Courses_Online.html

• The Gotham Writing Workshop

  http://www.writingclasses.com/

• Wrter’s Digest University writing classes

  http://www.writersonlineworkshops.com/

4. Hire a writing coach
Working with a writing coach is an excellent investment. If you want to write a book, but you would like to polish up your writing style, a coach can help you to get motivated, get unstuck, create a writing routine that works for your lifestyle, and most of all hold you accountable to the goals that you have set for yourself.

• http://writingcompanion.wordpress.com/2007/11/27/writing-mentor-coach/
• http://www.genreality.net/ten-reasons-to-hire-a-writing-coach

5. Practice, practice and more practice.
“A writer writes,” as they say. Write something everyday. Set a daily word count goal that you feel that you can stick to, but that will also force you to stretch yourself a bit. Commit to meeting this goal, but don’t beat yourself up when you don’t. Just pick up where you left off. Keeping a daily longhand journal can be therapeutic and help you clear out what’s on your mind so that you can focus on creating good writing.

Keep a blog where you write about whatever inspires you. Write a new post every day and before long you will begin to notice that you are developing a unique style that your readers will come to enjoy.
