Book Review: The Book of No
July 17th, 2006 |We all know someone who, like Oklahoma's Ado Annie, just "cain't say no." These folks accept every project. Every volunteer job. While everyone around them loves and appreciates them (or not), they're often tired and do little for themselves.

Book Review: Smartsourcing
June 27th, 2006 |Outsourcing is here to stay, regardless of how employees feel about it since businesses continue to save money as a result.

Book Resources
November 1st, 2005 |I love books. Wave a book sale in my face and I’m there. Sometimes I wish I had a book-related blog / resource like these folks have. Why not do it now? Because these are great places to go and no sense in getting the game this late. I have enough going on with meryl’s [...]

Free Publicity
July 14th, 2004 |How’s this for irony? I watched The Shipping News a couple of days ago before reading this book.
