EOK on Google

Good morning, fellow EOK members! I just wanted to take a few minutes to send you this note. We demonstrated this past Wednesday how powerful the http://eokhq.com site is for getting you noticed on Google Searches. People were amazed that articles on the EOK site were ranked high on the front page of google for all kinds of subjects. We did a search for "Knoxville Health Insurance" and an article on EOK was at the top of the list. We also… Continue

I'm back, well almost, I didn't make this morning's meeting :)

Hello everybody, I've certainly missed seeing everybody and some of you may have been wondering what in the world happened to Marty? Well it's not because Leo and I aren't working together anymore, although he did try to drive me crazy a couple of times :). I still think Leo is the greatest and he thinks I am (so far as I know) but I took the opportunity (not sure this is the right word) to have basal joint arthroplasty, hand surgery for arthritis of the basal joint. It was nothing like I… Continue

Looking for Quickbooks expert

We are very close to having moved our company (SensorMed) over to Quickbooks. However, there are a few items that we can't quite figure out. Are there any Quickbooks experts out there? Based on the hours we have already put into it, iI think it would only take another hour or so to finish things up. If anyone knows of a Quickbooks guru, please let us know.

Thanks,
William Milam

Look for the Small Opportunities in the Big, Enormous Ideas

Over the years, I have seen many an entrepreneur become fixated on the "Next Big Thing". Instead of mastering the enormous opportunity, the project eats up all their resources or it gets kicked into the wastebin of abandoned projects, never to be seen again. Actually, that describes several of my projects that helped build experience for the occasional successes.

But as we know, experience is a very, very harsh and expensive thing. We didn't pursue the Next Big Thing because it was a… Continue
