We’ve all heard this nugget of wisdom: “If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.”

Whether that particular nugget is really golden is up for debate. Doing it all yourself is asking for trouble in most businesses — and trying to be a one-man or one-woman army prevents you from growing your business in all the wonderful the ways you envision. Instead, you’re swallowed in a clinging-tentacle swamp of minutiae.

Multitasking has its practical limits. For some tasks, it’s better to call in a pro so you can focus on what you do best.

Experts recommend that you save enough to cover 3-6 months worth of living expenses. In 2017, 66 Million Americans have nothing saved. Another 20 percent of Americans have less than 3 months of savings. A recent CareerBuilder survey says 75 percent of workers often live paycheck to paycheck.

Hiring a new employee is often a process of deselection. In many cases, a candidate is offered a job after all other candidates have been eliminated or placed on the B-List.

To speed this process, experienced hiring managers have mastered the art of the interview, becoming both experts at interrogation and red-pen executioners.

They’ve practiced for this game, and as a hopeful new hire, so should you.

A lot has changed in the world since the Soul’s toe-tapping launch, but seven years later, the 2017 Kia Soul has stood the test of time, still whimsically reminding us that too much serious stuff is a drag, and that a good party can last for years.

To understand the soul of this free-spirited Kia, you have to loosen your necktie a bit, and maybe don a pair of those big, white-framed glasses that were all the rage in 2010. The Soul is a fun car, labeled as a crossover by Kia’s marketing guys.

Since its inception in 1995 as a trim level for the iconic Subaru Legacy Wagon, the Subaru Outback – now a distinct model – has defied categorization. Neither a typical SUV nor what we normally see as a crossover, the high-riding all-wheel-drive wagon brings together utility, creature comforts, and the ability to go places other wagons and crossovers dare not tread.

Nearly 7 percent of insured homes will have a claim this year and every new sunrise brings another 16,000 reported auto accidents. Modern life is risky business.

Insurance of any type is the transfer of risk from an individual to a group. If you lost your house in a fire or your car in an accident, the expense of rebuilding your home or replacing your car can be a financial disaster.

This 7,000-word guide answers all the questions you have about personal insurance, including auto insurance, home insurance, and life insurance.

According to the Insurance Information Institute, in 2015, the average auto liability claim for bodily injury was over $17,000. This represents injuries to other people as opposed to your own injuries. About 5 percent of bodily injury claims top $100,000. Whether $17,000 or over $100,000 or somewhere in between, most of us don’t have that kind of loose change under the couch cushions.

Do you have the right auto insurance coverage to protect your assets?

As children, we ran everywhere we went. We didn’t need a reason to run and there wasn’t much benefit in getting to where we were going faster. Running was just fun, magically able to transform the mundane into grand adventure. Once we’ve grown up and left the running habit behind us, getting started with running again can be an uphill battle.

Here are 5 running tips for beginners to get you over that first hill and beyond.

This post explains why businesses need to develop an effective content marketing strategy.

Content marketing changes the relationship between you and the prospective customer. Instead of beginning the relationship in a sometimes adversarial way, and having to first win the customer’s confidence before you’ve any hope of moving the conversation forward, you are instead providing value with no cost or obligation by the customer.

You’re creating goodwill, lowering apprehension in the same way that a kind smile can warm a greeting. The entire tone of the conversation changes for the better.

Driving a car used to be easy. As long as you could see over the dash and your feet could reach the pedals, you had a reasonably good chance of arriving at your destination without incident.

Modern roadways are busier, filled bumper-to-bumper with newspaper readers, cell phone fiddlers, makeup putter-onners, and meatball hoagie gobblers swerving in close proximity.

Honda’s high-tech answer to modern, mobile mayhem is a suite of safety features and driver-assistive technologies, collectively named Honda Sensing®.

Cigarettes, along with processed foods, water treatments, and pesticides used in farming, represent a massive leap of faith by the public, both in governments and in the industries surrounding the chemicals we ingest or inhale.

Chemical compounds in these products and their effects are often unknown to us or not fully understood — and most of us use, eat, drink, or smoke these products hoping that our ignorance won’t kill us more quickly than curiosity killed the cat.
