		<description><![CDATA[We have disabled our Facebook and Twitter accounts due to recent revelation that Facebook has been sharing and selling users&#8217; information with other entities, without informing the public. Though we have existing followers in our social media accounts, we have decided to close the door on further exploitation of privacy issues. Social media is a great marketing tool. However social media has never been and will never be restricted to Facebook or Twitter. As we use other available methods and tools to communicate with our audience, we hope to share more new business and marketing strategies and ideas with you better and faster. You can get our latest posts by giving us your name and your email in the comments section, we can deliver the latest post right to your email box. We look forward to an open and yet more trusted experience with you. Helmut Flasch Incoming search terms:social [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The boy in this video within a short period of time has become an internet sensation with his after-seeing-the-dentist reactions and has since been interviewed on CNN and the video has appeared on the list of top 50 internet videos on Times magazine. This is the phenomenon of the vast acceptance of a message that is not trying to sell something, not trying to show that someone is an &#8216;expert&#8217; etc. This is just pure family fun. So, as good students of marketing, what can we learn from this? What kind of messages are you putting out in your marketing? Are your current messages saying things like &#8220;Dr XYZ has 10 years of experience&#8221; or &#8220;We have state-of-the-art equipment&#8221; etc? How &#8216;interesting&#8217; are those messages? (Your competitors probably have the same ones!) Next important question: can your message go &#8216;viral&#8217;? That means, can your message gets passed along nicely without [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[DETERMINATON In 1883, a creative engineer named John Roebling was inspired by an idea to build a spectacular bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. However bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was an impossible feat and told Roebling to forget the idea. It just could not be done. It was not practical. It had never been done before. Roebling could not ignore the vision he had in his mind of this bridge. He thought about it all the time and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. He just had to share the dream with someone else. After much discussion and persuasion he managed to convince his son Washington, an up and coming engineer, that the bridge in fact could be built. Working together for the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be accomplished and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“A new idea is delicate. It can be killed by a sneer or a yawn; it can be stabbed to death by a joke or worried to death by a frown on the right person&#8217;s brow.” By CHARLES BROWER A Word From Helmut Flasch; CEO of Doctor Relations I was living in the US for two years when I attended a real estate seminar and bought my first house because of it. I told nobody about it but when I did close on it, I was happy and told a few friends. Some told me it could not be done because I had no established credit, no working history and not even a job, since I was self-employed for about 4 months only.
