It’s one thing to develop top-notch content, create an amazing website, or write a must-read book—all of which, admittedly, are difficult and noteworthy tasks. Business success, however, relies on much more than simply creating a great product. You must be able to create buzz around your brand and give people reasons to believe in it.…

It’s a given that networking is critical to just about any kind of business success—and has been for as long as business has been around (and that’s quite a long time). These days, though, networking consists of much more than traditional mixer events, tradeshows, or grabbing a coffee or a drink with colleagues. Much of…

Labor Day weekend has come and gone. It’s the proverbial marker to end summer and begin fall, though by the calendar (and for those of us in warmer climes) summer has a few more weeks on the dance card. Chances are you got together with friends and family at some point this weekend and probably…

When this King Monkey decides to part with his hard-earned dough, he expects to be treated well. I don’t think I have unrealistic expectations.

Do you have more “room” in your life than you think? Often I’ll hear from a client or colleague that he or she is so busy running the business that there’s positively no time left in the schedule to engage in marketing, social media, and other business development activities—let alone have a life and enjoy…

I just returned from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. There I saw innovators and wannabes hoping to become the next Sony, Samsung, or Apple—plus of course a few of the industry’s heavy hitters giving us a peek into what they hope will be our digital and electronic future. From virtual reality demos and…

Paul June’s Quarterly Newsletter – Holiday Addition The winter holidays are upon us and year’s end will be here before you know it. It’s the perfect time to gather with friends, family, and colleagues to reflect on the year that “was” and the year ahead. For what are you most grateful? Are your relationships growing,…

“There is immense power when a group of people with similar interests gets together to work toward the same goals.” (Idowu Koyenikan, author and consultant) Congrats to DMOS Collective on its team effort to create pro-quality, portable tools so riders and athletes can build better jumps. With over 200 backers to date and some 20+…

Entrepreneurs often suffer from an “I can do it all myself” mindset. It comes with the territory. They act as their own CEOs, accountants, administrative assistants, marketing leaders, sales reps, technical support specialists, travel agents, etc. You name it; most entrepreneurs are proverbial “jacks-of-all-trades.” Is this how you run your business, or even your household?…

Congratulations to the folks at DMOS Collective, whose Kickstarter campaign has gained over 180 backers and is officially “funded.” Good Stuff—and just in time for winter!
