To Be a Leader. Top Story - July 2017.
To be a leader is not to put the world on your shoulders alone, but to trust enough that others will be able to carry the burden with you. To be a leader is not to bark at others and give orders, but to bend your back with them and show them the way. You will know that you are a righteous and humble leader when nobody realizes that you have been leading them.

Parenting Management
“Most children are raised by amateurs, not professionals.” - Bryce’s Law Want to know what to expect of the work force in the years ahead? Look no farther than our schools or homes. Let me preface my remarks by saying that in addition to all of my other responsibilities, I was very active in my local Little League for a number of years where I served as coach, umpire, and on the local board of directors. Further, I have been very active locally in offering Masonic scholarships to High School students. In addition, my wife has been active in the local school system for the last ten years at the elementary, middle, and high school levels (this also included PTA and SAC). Although we probably won’t win an award as the world’s best parents, we made a point of becoming an important and influential part of our children’s lives. We didn’t take any special courses in parenting, we just got involved. But we are the exceptions as opposed to the rule.

2 Big Don'ts and 1 Huge Do During a PR Blunder
It is an inevitable fact of business, especially in this day and age. Company scandals and bad PR moments are bound to happen. We business owners can’t control everything that goes on within or outside the confines of our businesses. We rely on tens, hundreds and sometimes thousands of employees. We are dealing with hundreds if not millions of consumers on a daily basis. This means controlling what goes on is nearly impossible.

Things I've Learned About Marketing from Social Media Influencers
A lot of people claim that in the digital world everyone gets the same shot; this usually isn’t the case. You see, even online not everyone’s word is worth the same, which is exactly what sets some people apart as influencers. While to some, this influx of attention from the general populace seems as a fluke or a lucky set of circumstances, there is no such thing as luck. There is a reason why some people turn out to be influencers and others don’t. Needless to say, most of these tips can be applied to your business as well. With this in mind, here are few things that I picked up from social media influencers over the course of years.

Managing Your IT Services Effectively
IT Services is an extremely important part of any online business or company. While the average customer is not aware of this fact, it takes a lot of money, effort, and manpower in order to devise an IT service that is effective and responsive to a variety of queries, questions, and trouble shooting. If you’re choosing to run an online website for a company, you need to make sure that you’re willing to invest in top-level talent that you’re going to pay well. The systems you’re using should be up to date as well and you should make sure that your website will never be forced to go down or suffer from a lack of servers. Without effective IT services, your website and your business won’t be as successful or profitable as you would like it to be.

Poor Girl's Guide to Side Gigs That Work
Side hustles are the millennial way of life, and reporters are eager to point it out. Of course, back when I first started my first “side hustle” it was just called a second job, and everyone felt sorry for the fact that I needed two jobs to pay the bills. At the time I had a part time job that I desperately needed to be full time. So, instead of one full time job, I had two 30 hour jobs. It was hectic, but it worked. It’s a story we all know pretty well.

How to Go from a Self-Doubter to a Self-Starter
Many people are pessimistic by nature; I would know, I was one of them. The belief that we can't always seems to be more plausible than we can. It's a sad fact about life. But, what if I told you that you can get rid of that attitude altogether? What if I told you that all those unfinished projects can be rekindled, finished, and successful? If you want to know how to stop doubting and start believing, keep reading.

Learn from It!
When you have a schedule planned out of what you need to do each week, you soon realise that without it, things go out of the window. That's when you end up spending two days unable to do anything you planned on, because of the sheer number of other things you need to do. That's when your work has piled up that you should have done in the two days that you were doing other things; I am never going to do that again, unless I have pre-planned the whole thing, including what I'm writing as part of what I've scheduled for the week.
