Martin Luther King Jr Day of Service

By Carl 2 days ago

There is a sort of poverty of the spirit which stands in glaring contrast to our scientific and technological abundance…The richer we have become materially, the poorer we have become morally and spiritually. We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
“The Quest for Peace and Justice”
December 11, 1964

Today, January 18, 2021, marks the 26th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr. Day — celebrating the Civil Rights leader’s life and legacy.

You’ve built a product, and now you want to bring it to the masses.

To find out why, we set up an unusual consulting session between a ready-to-launch entrepreneur and a high-profile investor—and filmed it so you can benefit too.

Jesse Forte has built a new oral care line called Flawless Forte, but isn’t sure how to start marketing it. We connected him with venture capitalist Jesse Draper, founding partner of Halogen Ventures, who laid out a go-to-market strategy that anybody can benefit from.

“Figure out how to get your first 1,000 customers,” she explains. “Talk to them and figure out who they are, what they represent, what they care about, and why they’re interested in you.”

Before spending lots of money on online marketing, she advises doing a deep study of your target audience. Entice them to join your newsletter and social media channels, and then share your story and turn them into your greatest advocates. “We live in a world of online

The SBA is currently accepting Paycheck Protection Program PPP loan applications from participating lenders.

PPP Reopened January 11

First Draw PPP Loans started on Monday, January 11, and Second Draw PPP Loans on Wednesday, January 13.  The PPP will open to all participating lenders shortly thereafter.

This round of the PPP continues to prioritize millions of Americans employed by small businesses by authorizing up to $284 billion toward job retention and certain other expenses through March 31, 2021, and by allowing certain existing PPP borrowers to apply for a Second Draw PPP Loan.

Key PPP updates include:

  • PPP borrowers can set their PPP loan’s covered period to be any length between 8 and 24 weeks to best meet their business needs;

The number of stories published on the internet every day, on blogs and magazine websites, is pretty unfathomable. On WordPress alone, 70 million blog posts were published every month of 2020. We live in a time in which having an online “voice” is vital to positioning yourself as someone worth listening to. Whether you’re an expert, thought leader, entertainer or simply a business owner trying to set your brand apart from the pack — you need to put yourself out there to show you’re an authority with something to say, or to engage with a prospective audience. However, the reality is that most people creating content are not trained writers, journalists or storytellers, so they haven’t been taught how to develop a story angle that feels fresh, or to structure a compelling narrative, or to write headlines that pull people in. On top of that, there are rarely editors vetoing or improving their articles — a sounding board relationship that is necessary for even the best writers. At publications where there are editors, they’re often expected to publish so many stories a day that it’s hard for them to find time to make each story the best it can possibly be. Not to be too bleak, but all of this has resulted in
