My Life With IT

From my feeds, I present here something that is related to business. Dane Carlson’s Business Opportunities Weblog. I have mentioned before that he’s one of the bloggers whom I admire.

He introduces a wide variety of business that have taken off or flopped. The flopped businesses tells us how not to make things go wrong which is a good thing because success cannot come without failure.

Now, there are times when he provides advice on how to conduct your business, namely, meeting up with customers or potential partners. Take a look at some of my favourite posts.
