Re: Before You Buy That Business Plan Template

Good points, Joe. I've been guilty of "over valuing" my future profits! How embarrassing. It helps to get someone you trust to put your feet back on the ground.

Thanks for sharing.

Re: Scoble and Amazon’s Kindle Monetization Mistake

I agree Sam. The requirements of including social networking features in to future products is HERE.

Scoble's "social networking starfish" seems to be penetrating everything - from the way we receive information as it happens (via Twitter) to how we receive it after it happens (via an RSS reader, or some other sort).

I'll be watching your blog as you commentary on the future of information sharing. Good job.

Thanks, Jason M. Blumer

Anyway, good stuff on here. Keep up the awesome writing.

Re: Rosy Monday is Strategic Planning Day

Thriveal — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 17:44:44 -0000

John-

I love visionary thoughts! At my firm, we set aside the first day of the new year to pass on my vision for the firm, short- and long-term (actually I just posted on this at my blog).

Your blog is great, and I appreciate the thoughts behind Rosy Monday (real visionaries make up their own holidays - pretty cool).

Thanks, Jason M. Blumer

Re: Building strategic partner networks

Thriveal — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 20:06:18 -0000

So interesting... I just posted another method of networking at my blog... by playing to your weaknesses.

Referrals are SO important. Managing that process is highly important and worth investing in.

Thanks, Jason M. Blumer

Re: Buying links is unnatural

Thriveal — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 17:33:28 -0000

I'm trying hard to develop good content. Actually, there is plenty to write about... its finding the time to do it and run a couple of businesses at the same time. That's the hard part.

Keep the good SEO tips coming. It helps us new bloggers.

I've got the HP Color LaserJet 2600, and I couldn't say enough nice things about it.

It produces fabulous looking pages. Though the speed is not that fast, I typically only need it for a few pages at a time.

Thanks, Jason M. Blumer

Re: Heard any good interviews lately?

Thriveal — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 22:22:38 -0000

I want to start conducting interviews on my blog as well.

There are so many as a great source of info in the business/financial/marketing world.

How do I interview the big guys - like YOU?

Thanks, Jason M. Blumer

Re: Friday roundup of stuff

Thriveal — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 16:14:35 -0000

I wonder if using these online tools (that I'm not supposed to use) will help my local CPA consulting practice?

Will someone (anywhere in the US) hire a CPA from SC to do high-end professional services consulting, QB tech support or tax-related prep and planning? I'm curious.

Thanks, Jason M. Blumer, CPA

Re: The ultimate secret to business growth

Thriveal — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 21:05:29 -0000

I agree with you, John.

Change is so necessary in my firm, as well. To continue growing, we always have to continue changing.

I, too, have written about change at my blog.

Thanks, Jason M. Blumer

Re: They don’t use social media in my industry

Thriveal — Wed, 07 May 2008 14:41:58 -0000

John-

I'm trying to heavily use social media to (1) build our CPA's exposure regionally and (2) offer great business content to our readers weekly.

And we're spreading out! We started in Greenville, SC 10 years ago and are moving into Atlanta, GA (two hours away).

Learning social media is fun, but it can also add great immediate business content for our readers and encourage them and help their businesses grow.

Re: Canter on Open Social and the Starfish

Thriveal — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 20:35:32 -0000

This social media starfish is intriguing. I'm starting a business blog on entrepreneurs, business startups, etc. I'm seeing some serious potential over the next ten years (with baby boomers and Gen Y changing stuff and such).

Thanks for keeping me up to date - I'm linkin' to you on my blog.

Thanks, Jason

Re: Are we in a recession?

Thriveal — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 22:08:52 -0000

Speaking for the small business, which I consult with in my firm, the recession may be a factor to consider, but it won't cripple the nanobusiness.

The small business is a resiliant model of operation, mean and lean, and can weather hard times.

Things currently look bright for our firm and our smart clients, as do the next 10 years. No worries here.

Thanks, Jason M. Blumer

Re: http://blog.inc.com/the-entrepreneurial-generation/2008/09/social_networking_for_business.html

Thriveal — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 18:44:34 -0000

I'm experimenting with obtaining new clients via these four social media networks:

1 Twitter
2 Facebook
3 LinkedIn
4 Blogging at www.thriveal.com

As a CPA firm, I'm interested in how the newer generations will allow service from someone they initially met through social networking. I'm testing the waters...

The younger generations (I'm 37) seem to have NO problem with it at all, and I've gotten a client through Twitter.

Thanks, Jason M. Blumer, CPA
