9 Ways to Make an Extra 100

Increasing your income a little bit can go a long way. A 20-year-old, for example, who invests that $100 every month in a plain index fund that tracks the S&P 500 will actually retire a millionaire.

Sell on Ebay and Craigslist: That stuff sitting in your basement collecting dust is valuable to somebody.

Business Protection 101 - The Corporate Veil

Entrepreneurs, business owners, financial advisors, and attorneys all know that operating a business as a sole proprietor provides the least amount of protection in case of a lawsuit. That's a given.

Beyond the Center - Why Brainstorming is Essential to Product Development

The center point of product development is easily described. It is safe. It does not "push the envelope" or encourage anyone to think out of the box more than necessary to get the job done. Working the center automatically rules out unknown solutions, possibly resulting in a loss in the market when competitors may be developing the next big thing. And above all, it precipitates "status quo" product development. Sometimes, however, getting beyond the center can be a challenge for even the best design team. That challenge can often be overcome with product brainstorming, encouraging a design team or client to dig deeper into their ideas, by investigating categories, applications, features and over all designs.
