I am the CEO of Svpply, Inc., a social shopping S-Corp operating out of New York City.

My company has been the recipient of over half-a-million in investor dollars, for the stated purpose of building an unknown, 3,000-member web service into a cultural phenomenon, and I truly have very little understanding of what I am doing. I went to school for Graphic Design. I was supposed to graduate in 2004, though I didn’t complete the necessary Algebra class until 2009. Put me in front of Illustrator and give me something to design and I’ll execute the hell out of it. I’ve spent years of hard work developing systems in my brain for tackling visual solutions to communication problems. I’ve designed some nice logos and some nice websites. But I have zero experience or expertise in building a company. So I’m learning on the fly. Things I don’t know how to do that I have to learn soon or Svpply will fail: Thankfully I have Mo on my board. Svpply has been open to the public for six months now.

Last Updated Jun 8, 2011 10:26 PM EDT By David Rogers Web video can be a powerful marketing tool for businesses of all kinds and sizes. For starters, video is where your customers are giving their attention. Americans watched over 5 billion online videos in December 2010, at an average of 14.6 hours per viewer, according to a recent study. YouTube's video search bar is now the #2 search engine on the web, outstripping Yahoo and Bing. Video content clearly drives customer purchases as well. With free platforms like YouTube and Vimeo available for hosting video, the price is extremely low as well. But the medium is often misunderstood by marketers. Here are four ideas for making online video an effective part of your digital marketing toolkit: 1. Similarly, when Old Spice's "response" videos went viral last summer, there were no Old Spice products or pitching on screen, just hilarious short sketches featuring the Old Spice Guy brand character. 2. 3. 4.

How have you used video for marketing? Manifestation. First and foremost, just because you master manifestation does not mean that you will no longer have challenges. Challenges are what life is all about. And in fact, manifestation mastery can present a whole new set of challenges. I hesitated writing this post for a long time because manifestation really can be dangerous and mess up someone’s life, but on the other hand, sickness and health have a lot to do with manifestation, and manifestation mastery can lead one to wellness. As long as we are in these physical bodies, sitting on a couch just focusing on what we want is not likely to bring us closer to our goals. Manifestation is not ignoring reality. And word of caution: I have gotten so deep into the ability to create my own world that I was beginning to leave my loved ones behind. Another word of caution: Surely you have heard the phrase, “Be careful what you wish for.”

This is a step-by-step guide to learning how to manifest anything you want. Learn to see things positively Get a book. Tax Brackets (Federal Income Tax Rates) 2000 through 2010 and 2011. Your tax bracket is the rate you pay on the "last dollar" you earn; but as a percentage of your income, your tax rate is generally less than that. First, here are the tax rates and the income ranges where they apply: To take an example, suppose your taxable income (after deductions and exemptions) is exactly $100,000 in 2012 and your status is Married filing jointly; then your tax would be calculated like this: This puts you in the 25% tax bracket, since that's the highest rate applied to any of your income; but as a percentage of the whole $100,000, your tax is about 17%.

This next calculator lets you try it out with your own numbers: Where Tax Brackets Apply Tax Hikes, Tax Cuts 1993 saw a tax hike on the wealthy (via two new brackets at the top), and then 2001 through 2003 saw a series of tax cuts that lowered the tax brackets as follows: From 2000 to 2002 most brackets dropped by one percent, and there was a new low bracket added at the very bottom.

Eye tracking study reveals 12 website tactics. Eye tracking studies have revealed valuable information about how people read and interact with websites. One study, Eyetrack III, published a summary of their eye tracking results for news sites. While this is just one eye tracking study focused on a particular type of site, I think there are instructive nuggets here for any informational website. In no particular order, here are 12 results I found particularly interesting. 1.Headlines draw eyes before pictures. This might be surprising for some people since the trend has been to add photos and graphics specifically to draw the eye.

Even I have been adding more photos to my blog to spice it up a bit. But the participants in this study looked at headlines, especially in the upper left of the page, before they looked at photos when they landed on a page. 2. This means you should front-load your headlines with the most interesting and provocative words. 3. The implication is the same as before. 4. No nonsense. 5. Be careful with this one.

By Michael Lee Number 1 - They Think, Say, & Do Negative Things. Yup. They see problems in every opportunity. They complain that the sun is too hot. They cursed the rain for ruining their plans for the day. They blame the wind for ruining their hair. They think that everyone is against them.

Number 2 - They Act Before They Think. They move based on instinct or impulse. Then they see something better. Then they spend & spend again until nothing's left. They don't think about the consequences. Number 3 - They Talk Much More Than They Listen They want to be the star of the show. Oftentimes they are not aware that what they're saying is not sensible anymore.

When other people advise them, they close their ears because they're too proud to admit their mistakes. In their mind they're always correct. Number 6 - They Waste Their Time.

According to statistics published by the Small Business Administration (SBA), seven out of ten new employer establishments survive at least two years and 51 percent survive at least five years. This is a far cry from the previous long-held belief that 50 percent of businesses fail in the first year and 95 percent fail within five years. Better success rates notwithstanding, a significant percentage of new businesses do fail. Expert opinions abound about what a business owner should and shouldn't do to keep a new business afloat in the perilous waters of the entrepreneurial sea.

There are, however, key factors that -- if not avoided -- will be certain to weigh down a business and possibly sink it forevermore. 1. Would the sole reason you would be starting your own business be that you would want to make a lot of money? On the other hand, if you start your business for these reasons, you'll have a better chance at entrepreneurial success: 2. Neglect of a business can also be its downfall. Business process. Overview[edit] There are three types of business processes: Management processes, the processes that govern the operation of a system. Typical management processes include "corporate governance" and "strategic management".Operational processes, processes that constitute the core business and create the primary value stream. Typical operational processes are purchasing, manufacturing, advertising and marketing, and sales.Supporting processes, which support the core processes.

Examples include accounting, recruitment, call center, technical support. A business process begins with a mission objective and ends with achievement of the business objective. A business process can be decomposed into several sub-processes,[1] which have their own attributes, but also contribute to achieving the goal of the super-process. Business Processes are designed to add value for the customer and should not include unnecessary activities.

Working Smart: Boosting Your Business Acumen. Law school teaches you to think like a lawyer but, to succeed in today's legal marketplace, you must also think like a businessperson. As the profession becomes increasingly bottom-line-oriented, business and management skills are essential to advancement within your organization and for optimally servicing your clients' needs. Each case or transaction involves money in some way, and every lawyer in private practice is running a business. To represent most business clients well, whether you are in a private law firm or in-house legal department, in addition to knowing case law and relevant statutory and regulatory schemes, you also must have basic financial literacy.

You should be able to read and understand balance sheets, profit and loss statements, and annual reports, understand fundamental tax principles, and perform basic statistical analysis. This is especially true if you want to practice in-house, where a good legal department is a respected part of the business team. </b>*} 1. Sharpening Your Business Acumen.
