How to Design the Best Business Card [Infographic]
"Awesome infographic! It's interesting how the business card is so important in many other countries, yet here though useful, it doesn't have exactly the same impact as it does in say, China. I have a feeling, though, that the Western world will be more influenced by this practice and its etiquette. Great post!"Sometimes Business is About Making Mistakes (And What You Do With Them)
"It's good that you learned from this mistake, and believe me, we all make them.

I do think engagement is important, but effective only if sincere."Online Revisionism to Save Money, Redeem Yourself & Be a Non-Idiot

"Surprisingly I already knew 5 out of the 7 buzzwords. I do think some of these are important..I know that more and more businesses are faced with the possible security breach that non-company smartphones pose. A friend that works in a tech firm told me that his company is trying to adapt to allow people to use their own comm devices, rather than insist on company cell phones.
