Words to the Wise

Statistics how that Americans spend 12 weeks every year — a full three months — looking for things they know they have, but just can’t find.

Luckily, there are people like Doreen Stern, PH.D., aka The Desk Doktor, to save us.

Doreen will be my host on Thursday, October 4th at 10:00am on This Hour Has 22 Widgets. We’ll talk about simple things we all can do to clear the clutter from our lives, our businesses and our minds and get back to the things that truly matter.

And speaking of businesses…the average American executive wastes six weeks every year searching for misplaced documents. Also, the average American employee has about 37 hours of unfinished work on their desk at any time…and typically takes three hours each week to sort through piles.

I’d tell you to write the date and time down on a piece of paper, but with all these statistics, I’m afraid you’ll lose the paper.

Kim Mack and Staci Douglas will make an appearance on This Hour Has 22 Widgets Tuesday, September 25th at 10am Eastern time. Kim and Staci are sisters and the founders of Out of the Box Party - a website dedicated to helping busy moms find safe, fast and affordable solutions to throwing birthday parties for children.

During the segment we’ll talk about how the duo markets their products, why they started the business and the challenges they face in terms of sales and marketing.

This Hour Has 22 Widgets is my new radio show that mixes client products and services with marketing tools and trends.

…you’ll get to hear them, too. That’s right, I’m going to start my own BlogTalkRadio show called “This Hour Has 22 Widgets.” But it’s not just my ideas and marketing insight that you’ll be hearing. My clients will also be part of the show. They’ll be on the air to talk about THEIR marketing and their products and services. So now you’ll get to hear MY marketing wisdom and that of my clients.

I’m working on the details for the first show which should air sometime in the next two or three weeks. If you’re interested in being on the show, contact me and we’ll work out the details.

Also, if you have a radio spot already produced and would like me to air it, I’m offering a limited number of complimentary advertising slots to my blog subscribers.
