Email Anti-Theft: The Battle Against Copyright Infringement
Imitation is not always the highest form of flattery. Any creative individual will cringe at seeing his or her work displayed with another person’s name in the credits. In the fast-paced field of graphic art, design the dilemma is even more prominent. Artists in all mediums are seeing their work knocked-off by less talented people.

I’ll spare you the three-peat, but you know you’ve heard that commercial. You may try not to hear it, but it still gets stuck in your mind. Could there be a more annoying marketing campaign?
Well, it seems to be working. The Head On people have gotten a large part of the nation to know and remember the name of their product and what it does through what I’m guessing was not a very expensive commercial to produce! They put some cash into buying spots, but they seem to have gone for a quantity over quality approach in that area too. Yet, they are gleaning semi-regular references from Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, David Letterman and countless others.

Those employers who embrace this idea and have a clear strategy to help their employees enjoy the work-life balance they desire will be the ones that attract the best people – and then keep them. So what does this mean on a practical level? Here are 9 ideas that you can incorporate into your business.

I have spent a lifetime working in, on and around small businesses. I have seen them all struggle from time to time, many never escaping adversities. In my own businesses I have had moments where the responsibilities of ownership weighed down so heavily that going to “sleep” seemed the most sensible action to take. Business is a hard game to play. Each day there is a new competitor, and the sidelines are filled with people and organizations that are foaming at the mouth for your customers and concepts. Nothing that is truly good or unique goes unnoticed for long. The scent of blood is always in the water, and the sharks are circling.
