Having three children with birthdays around Christmas means our holidays are filled with parties and gift giving galore.

One area of our home that is not green is our kitchen cabinets. I confess, our plates, cups and travel mugs… they are littered with plastic. With 3 kids in the home and a husband that walks out the door with cups full of coffee or soda, never to return (the cups, he normally comes back), plastic is a cheap convenience. In our defense, we are paperless in the kitchen, no disposables, no coffee filters, no paper products and we recycle, and compost.

Just lately I’ve had several business owners approach me for advice and support in adding an affiliate program to their business. And quite often what has prompted them to think about adding this additional income stream is that someone has simply said to them “do you have an affiliate program that I can sign up to?”. Just because someone asks you this doesn’t mean you need to run out and get one set up.

The end of the year is traditionally a time to reflect on the past twelve months and set resolutions for the year to come. We start on January 1 st with high aspirations and motivation to make change in our life, but our resolve doesn’t survive much beyond the end of January. While a desire for self-improvement might get us started, it’s rarely enough to keep us going all year.

The quick answer is yes - if you see a positive return from the time and effort required to maintain a Twitter presence. Having said that, we believe the answer will be no for most small businesses. The reason is simple. A very small percentage of adult Americans are regular users of Twitter. A recent Pew Internet study reports that about 8% of online, adult Americans use Twitter.

Out of everyone in my group of college friends, I was the only one who still had the same job two years after graduation. Everyone else had changed jobs once, twice, even three times. So, I felt somewhat smug—as if I knew something they didn’t. It wasn’t until many years later that I understood the positive side of job hopping. It hit me when I suddenly discovered that I had forced myself to stay in a job I hated for five years.
