Time to talk about the first lady. The First Lady. Maybe capitalize or not. Perhaps’s the name starts with “M” or “H.” And, we shouldn’t capitalize the first lady letters. So, what in the world are we talking about, the First Lady? The first, lady, President. So, come up with as many names that start with “H” or check the news for coming nominees. The point is that the economic agenda and many critics are thinking a lady is a top pick. Is there much to say? Yes. But

Is it possible to purchase the NYSE? You might of heard of that question before. It might not of sound that smart. So, you ask shares of it or all of it? Then, maybe the smart reply is that it’s not possible, because you can only purchase shares of it from the parent company, Intercontinental Exchange Group. If that’s what you are talking about, then yes. Currently, Vanguard is the top holder of the Intercontinental Group with roughly, 10% (Google.com). The second pla

We know this sounds a little obtuse. But it’s good to discuss some of the basics of business. This includes the computer. Many know, but some might not really think that mathematics is a foundational language for the computer. It helps with logical reasoning with computers, algorithm design in computers, and helps with system optimization. The computer, because of mathematics helps with findings, answers and solutions that a person might not think of as quickly, allowing

When we think of the word, “loyalty,” we think of a friend or a nice person that agrees with you. In business, we think about a person that chooses you all the time for that particular product or service. It helps. Now, business loyalty usually means you enrolled with a member perk card or so to earn points, because you go to the business at a regular time. It might prove to the owner that you like the person. But there is more to loyalty over the course of its history.

The term, "Blue Ocean," is one you might of heard one say, or pontificate about for a half hour. In short, it's using the mindset and action plan to go where no one goes. Is it innovation? Yes, but it doesn't always need to be about newness. It might be a smaller economy. Or an economy that needs more attention. Possibly some renovation. Blue Ocean is just one type of strategy. And at times, it seems vague. So, while "times" might be calling for some strategy. Try t

Ink. Big piece of paper. A cover. Font. Special font. Signatures and names of the campus President. It’s all part of your diploma that usually looks real professional and spectacular. But there’s more than that. What are we forgetting? How about 1,000 pages? Maybe Euler or famous essays written long ago. Maybe it’s actually 20 books with each being 1,000 pages. That’s 20,000 pages. It might, also, include an “A” in upper level poetry. Ever thought like that? We

Business can be a long journey. But we agree that it’s not always about the destination. And there is such a thing as destiny. So, what do you do when the path is sort of winding? Is it time to think of your close friend or secret phone call? Or do you reach for some food to eat? Well, there’s not always a right answer, when you just want someone to talk with you. You might call your sister, if there is one. But what do you call that person? A sissy? Funny. Or maybe

Learning at a young age was important to your career. It’s a goal to teach our children at earlier ages these days. Jump to the 9th grade, study algebra in the first grade. Take the SAT’s in middle school. All those things help. But it isn’t always as quick as we think. And it’s unlikely we can remember everything. We learn how to study better as we get older. We skim the chapters, and look at the last pages to look for the important theories of the book. We make outl

Sometimes we don’t always think of a TV show’s business concepts. And sometimes, we feel the same way at a business job. We just go to work and complete tasks. So, does that say it’s not business? Surely, not. But when it comes to a TV show’s business concepts like AFV, which is surely in lines with business, we wonder why we watch it. So, why do we watch it? The point is to try to get you to think normal with your extremely high IQ. Sometimes we watch it, because it h

Wouldn’t it be cool to go to the same store as a friend to get shoes? It use to always be like that. Now , what if it was the same store for an entire group? Seems alright. You can make it a standard at your school. Go to shoe carnival, and we all purchase different shoes but at the same store. That could be a cool standard. And, “standardize” is an important word in business. It takes time, history, and science to standardize. Almost everything that earns an “A” gra
