How Important is a Content Strategy?

By

Digital marketers are well aware of the content issues facing local micro to small businesses in 2017. Finding time to create and distribute content is no joke. For the business owner wearing the marketing, sales, and lead generation hats, the struggle to produce regular, relevant content has never ceased as far back as I can remember.

We leverage a lot of power as the 80%, and it’s time to get started. We don’t have to be a discarded legislative interest, but if you think that phrase doesn’t apply to you, just keep sitting there while people who have no idea what you’re going through in your family business write more codes that  negatively effect or downright impede your profitability.

By

By Paul Maynard

LUCK is a story of three men who dreamed something and then found a way to make it happen.Owners of LUCK with Sir Earl Toon.

The name is just too appropriate. What else would you call a place, founded by guys who cooked and brewed beer for fun, that convinced investors almost overnight to fund them into a restaurant?

By

By John Checki CFP®

I’ve devoted most of my life to that pursuit. It has been and continues to be a swell adventure.

The problem with accumulating and preserving wealth is that no one is ever properly prepared for retirement. Wow, what a surprising thing to say. Most folks that come into our office have that fear in spades.  The fear of being old, sick and broke. Sounds awful.

What are the most typical dangers here? Continue Reading …

By

By Clint Fuqua

The BIG BOLD story of the day is “FAKE NEWS” and your health is caught in the big middle of it all.  The real issue here comes down to figuring out what is fake, what is real, and what is a combination of both blended together for a great story that gets more clicks, views, and shares.
