My good friend, Will Murphy, recently published his first book titled Online Tools for Small Businesses. Here’s what he has to say about it;
It is a book for people who are experts in their field (like consultants, insurance agents, etc) and want to know what sites could be useful along with some tips. I am not promoting it as a book for Web experts – as they will already know almost everything in it. But, I do think there are some small businesses that could find it useful as a starting point. Especially if they are really a small business that are not fully utilizing all the web tools that could help them.
So if you’ve got a small business, but not the time or money to waste on getting up to speed, Will has put together a great resource on a wide variety of internet topics. You can buy the paperback version via Amazon or even have it delivered electronically to your Kindle.

Sorry, I’ve been quite for the past few weeks. Ideas and inspiration come in spurts sometimes and I’ve just not really had much to say. So rather than cloud the site with clutter, I’ve been recharging and nose deep in a few books. I’d recommend you check these two out.

I’m sorry for being off topic and I apologize in advance to any of my readers who come to my site because of the digital marketing content. I promise I’ll make it brief. There are 2 things that I just really need to say about the opportunity John Calipari has with the city of Memphis. I’m not talking about the university’s basketball program, I’m talking about the city and region as a whole.
First, don’t get me wrong, I’m all in favor of being passionate about what you do and working to become the best at, regardless if its coaching basketball or cutting grass. I believe that being surrounded by the best people and being in the right environment only helps make you better. I wouldn’t fault Coach Cal for leaving, Kentucky is a great program.
The point I think Cal is missing is the bigger opportunity beyond basketball and beyond money. It’s about the message he can send to the city of Memphis. He can say, “You know what, Memphis is a great city to live and there is plenty of opportunity here. Why wouldn’t someone want to start and spend their life here? These people love, adore and support me beyond my wildest dreams. I’d be stupid to leave. I’m honored to call Memphis my home.”
Someone like that is what the city needs to let them know that they aren’t second class city that can be used and abused, but rather, first rate and one that they should be proud to call home.
