5 People that Will Make Your Business Fail
During my travels, I have seen many start-ups for organizations. The best are those that all in the group have the same vision and have a clear path to the goal, but during a start up, often a path is unclear. When an unclear path happens, “gaps” are filled with not so great things. Here are a few types of those personalities that can rear their ugly head:
The Dreamer- It reminds me of when I was young and smoking pot with friends, and coming up with an idea. “Yeah man, and then we can…”. As you can imagine, no call to action with any of these “brilliant” ideas, and the dreamer loves to spend hours expanding on anything that gets everyone’s attention, Continue reading
Interview with the Buzzom.com CEO discussing it’s history and future(iWebgorilla exclusive).
Buzzom .com is rated one of the top social media tools for Twitter today. I had a chance to do an online interview with the CEO and founder of Buzzom , and InRev Systems, Bhupendra Khanal. We discussed the roots of Buzzom.com and what the future holds.

How a Web Professional and Not Any Guy Makes the Sale! Works Offline Too!
First, let me say as a web professional, I have a very strong sales background connecting with clients including property management, IT, security, and of course desktop PC’s. I learned sales closing and marketing tactics over the years from a wide variety of companies. Some successful, and some not so much. My favorite source for the way I approach clients is not from a new modern model, but from a man who sold pots and pans, Zig Ziglar.

It’s Not About Just Being Good, It’s About the Connecting with the Client Stupid.
A lot of this business is resources, and resource management. But the thing I see too much, is many companies spend way too much time building a profile, and not the company infrastructure itself.
