		<description><![CDATA[Your company name will affect your bottom line. Choose wisely!

What’s in a company name? If you choose wisely, it is an asset that pays dividends from day one. If you choose poorly, it is a continual expense.

How can this be? When you start a new venture or rebrand an existing one, the most powerful advertising tool you have is your name.

		<description><![CDATA[Buyer beware!
Every year about this time my inbox is inundated with spam from unscrupulous trade show display companies and mailing list companies. It’s nice to know what the competition is up to, but I’m guessing the average HIMSS exhibitor finds this unwanted invasion of unsolicited email just a bit annoying.

“The Art of the Start: The Time-Tested, Battle-Hardened Guide for Anyone Starting Anything” by Guy Kawasaki. (Amazon user rating: 4+ stars)
I bought Guy’s book in 2004, and immediately jumped in and began marking it up, underlining and highlighting passages all the way through. It’s a great book that doesn’t waste your time with a [...]]]></description>
