Healthy Office Snack
I don't know about you, but because I have a home office, I tend to also be a grazer when it comes to food. I am always hungry (like every 2 hours) and while my portion size is small I eat frequently. Now that summer is here, that means short skirts and less clothes so I am making sure my snacks at work are healthy.
Just in case you are looking for some options to eat to keep your energy up …

Free Trade Experiment
I just found this book that I thought was really interesting. It's called 'Predictably Irrational' by Dan Ariely. He's a pretty interesting guy. He is the James B. Duke Professor of Behavioral Economics at Duke University and a founding member of the Center for Advanced Hindsight.

Heart Marketing
This is brilliant!
Before there was a term for it, I've been teaching the power of 'Heart Marketing' for 10 years. In fact, I believe the reason my web copy won out in million dollar product sales, over more expensive copy writers (face it I had none), was because while others were 'screaming' at their consumers, I was dating them.
Now I didn't read some kind of slimy 'how to pretend to like …
