Know Thyself [ http://motivation-blog.wittybuzz.com/2008/08/26/know-thyself/ ]
It is very appalling considering the rate at which people pass through this world without getting to know what power they carry inside of them. For some time now, I have stopped listening to news because I realize that most of what we hear read to us seems not to be good news. We hear people complaining about unemployment, people living in abject poverty and some going to the extent of committing Suicide I have come to let you know that the best thing that can happen to you is to discover yourself and the immense power you carry within you. It is more powerful than dynamite and if only you can unleash it, it will definitely shake the whole world. People will continue to have problems if they have not realized their abilities. Unemployment, dissatisfaction and suicide will still be a rampant thing if people fail to look inward for their solutions. - [ Read more ]

Free Public Record Searches [ http://public-blog.wittybuzz.com/2008/08/16/free-public-record-searches/ ]

Just getting started requires a lot of travel to different places like state archives, county courthouses, city licensing bureaus and all, just to find relevant information. - [ Read more ]

Publicity Repeat for Results [ http://public-blog.wittybuzz.com/2008/08/20/publicity-repeat-for-results/ ]
As I plan for the coming year, one of my top goals is to actively seek publicity on a regular schedule. Publicity isn’t guaranteed. You can send several press releases and get few results. But one well-placed, well-timed release can result in thousands of dollars in new business. It has happened for me, and it can happen for you, too. But do not expect that writing and distributing one press release will be enough. - [ Read more ]

The human resource director speaks to the employees about a benefits package with fewer benefits. Because executives are often speaking in difficult situations, the more credibility they can develop, the more the content will be considered and accepted. Speakers will have little or no impact on audiences if audience members don’t respect them and what they have to say. - [ Read more ]

Time to Spruce Up Your Public Relations [ http://public-blog.wittybuzz.com/2008/08/23/time-to-spruce-up-your-public-relations/ ]
Better check out the public relations fundamental premise, then take action in your own best interest.____The premise reads this way: “People act on their own perception of the facts before them, which leads to predictable behaviors about which something can be done. When we create, change or reinforce that opinion by reaching, persuading and moving- to-desired-action those people whose behaviors affect the organization, the public relations mission is accomplished.” - [ Read more ]
