POLITICS – NEW EDITOR – HOLIDAYS Four more years for President Barack Obama! Out of one of the costliest and possibly the nastiest political seasons comes more of the same. We have a President without complete Congressional support. The US House has the same Republican majority while the Democrats control the US Senate. Just in time for the media frenzied “Fiscal Cliff”. What this means for many is more uncertainty about economic growth or the creation of jobs. The looming crisis reminds me of a quote I learned in college, “together we can accomplish anything; divided we are only as strong as our weakest link!” Now, the question is who is going to be the weak link or will outdated agendas be put aside for the greater good? Will our elected leaders come together and collaborate to develop an economic policy to move our country forward and lead the world to prosperity once more? One thing is certain, we must come together and work together “in order to form a more perfect union.” For if we fail the cost to generations to come may be insurmountable. To all those elected officials, I hope, as you take your oath of office, you commit to serving with integrity and with the best interests of your constituency in the forefront of your mind. More than ever, divine intervention may be the key to success. I am pleased to introduce our new Editor, Michael Koretzky. Michael brings with him years of journalist experience as well as entrepreneurial acumen. He started two publications which he sold to other media companies. He was a university educator with numerous accolades from his former students. Those he mentored describe him as being “a mix between Walter Cronkite

and Don King– trustworthy, with an intoxicating side of flash.” A selfdescribed “journoterrorist,” you will find his style pushes the envelope as well as being inviting. He is open to ideas and welcomes your input for future articles. We trust Michael will elevate our sophisticated editorial to become relevant and interesting while enhancing our local approach. Speaking of interesting, one of our feature stories this month is on some adventurous gift ideas. Our editorial team scanned the tri-county area to give you some notions other than the beloved tie or a bottle of perfume. These Christmas stocking stuffer selections are surely not for the faint of heart. And, since there are eight, you can give one each day of Chanukah. The recipient will definitely remember you and the gift. As we enter the holiday season, I want to wish you and your family a Happy Chanukah, a Merry Christmas, a Happy Kwanza and Happy Holidays. I hope your year was filled with success and good

memories. For those who are facing adversity, I wish you courage and the strength to persevere, overcome and become stronger in the New Year. I hope you made a difference this year or maybe paid it forward in gratitude for your good fortune. When you are celebrating with family, I urge you to remember, in any way you are able, those less fortunate and those protecting us here and abroad. I leave you with the wisdom of Benjamin Franklin, “Be always at battle with your vices, at peace with your neighbors and let each New Year find you a better person.” As Always, Enjoy the Lifestyle™

SPIRITS BRIGHTEN YOUR HOLIDAYS

Here are two fabulous recipes that will bring a twinkle to your eyes – brought to you by Crystal Head Vodka and Four Roses Bourbon. CRYSTAL SKULL CIDER 1 1/2 oz. Crystal Head Vodka 1/2 oz. vanilla liqueur 1 oz. apple cider Dash of angostura bitters Ginger Ale Add all ingredients to a highball glass filled with ice in the order given. Give a quick stir and add the garnish. Garnish: an apple slice on the rim or inside of the glass OLD-FASHIONED EGGNOG 6 eggs 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1 pint cream 1 pint milk 2 cups Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon 1 oz. aged Jamaica rum

C

Beat the yolks and whites of 6 eggs separately. Add 1/2 cup of sugar to the yolks while beating. Add 1/4 cup of sugar to the whites after they have been beaten very stiff. Combine the egg whites with the yolks. Pour in cream and milk, as well as the bourbon and rum. Stir thoroughly. Serve very cold.

CAVIAR MANICURE KIT

Sexy, cool and extravagant – that’s how some describe Ciaté’s new concept, threedimensional nails created by Ciaté’s Caviar Manicure Kit. And it’s easy to apply: Prep the nail by swiping on a coat from their Paint Pot product. Let it turn slightly sticky and then … Sprinkle with the color pearls that you have chosen (rainbow, black pearls, mother of pearls). Place your finger, one at a time, over the tray and sprinkle the caviar pearls onto your nail, gently tap down to make them adhere … After approximately 20 minutes seal the edges with the clear top coat to strengthen the bond, and reapply top coat daily. Your new look may last up to three to five days. Check it out at http://www.ciate.co.uk/ caviar-manicure.html/

GIFT GUIDE

will enjoy R River Ghost Tours hosted by Fort Lauderdale’s historic Stranahan House Museum.

Rides are available in Fort Lauderdale at George English Park on Saturdays and Sundays. Gift certificates come customized with the gift receiver’s name nicely printed on it.

EVERY DECEMBER for four full decades, Fort Lauderdale has watched an aquatic procession of holiday lights, ornaments, and live entertainers sailing down its waterways: The Winterfest Boat Parade. From the first event in 1971 to the 41st this year, Winterfest representatives say the live audience has grown to more than 1 million people – roughly a fifth

The festivities have grown to include annual contests, parties, balls, and family days – culminating in the 12-mile parade, whose route begins at the docks west of the Stranahan House, runs east to the Intracoastal, and then north to Lake Santa Barbara in Pompano Beach, a mile short of Atlantic Boulevard.

My favorite boats I have been involved with are the Broadway Barge, the Red Bull BargeSpin and the Circus Barge providing lights, sound, video and technical support for these entries.” Ginny Miller, executive board member and Miller Construction Company community relations director Involved for: 27 years Favorite memories: “Being mistaken for Joan Rivers – then asked to ‘get out of her seat.’ Being on the showboat that Don Moore (deceased) decorated when all of the electric went dead right before we got to the viewing stands – and my husband correcting the problem just as we pulled up to the judges. The boat won first place – they thought Don did it on purpose!” Renée Quinn, board secretary and QuinnProQuo business strategist Involved for: 14 years Favorite memories: “Creating an event for the Riverwalk and Winterfest board members on board the Grand Floridian Yacht the year we moved to

Watching [Winterfest President/CEO] Lisa Founds and her team work so hard over the years to make this such a huge success.”

All Mixed Up Champion Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale Student Cameron Bevan Wins Title

C

By Kevin Lane

ameron Bevan cooked up some amazing desserts like rice pudding beignets with cabernet coulis and chocolate cream, light and dark chocolate-covered bacon with rice pudding sauce – Wait, chocolate-covered bacon? “Just about everyone loves sweet and salty together. And bacon has such a rich smoky taste. We’re seeing in so many desserts now – bacon ice cream, bacon crumbled on cake, you name it. It’s a hot new trend, so I figured it would be a hit,” he smiled. And it was! The 28-year-old student from The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale recently won the title of “All Mixed Up Champion” on the third and final episode of “All Mixed Up” on Lifetime TV, hosted by celebrity chef and TV personality Ralph Celebrity chef Ralph Pagano Pagano. The student chefs had to complete with an appetizer, entrée and a dessert in 30 minutes. Reflecting on the contest, Cameron said he created some recipe ideas a few days before the shoot, but that everyone had to think on their feet once they knew the exact ingredients they would be provided. And Chef Pagano threw in some extra curves, like cutting down their time or taking away some of their tools. Cameron moved to Fort Lauderdale from Las Vegas in 2011. “It was frightening as I came with just enough money to live on for two weeks, so I had to make something happen fast,” he said. He’s worked part time at several area restaurants to make ends meet, but currently is just focused on his culinary courses.

Chef Jack Kane with “All Mixed Up” champion Cameron Bevan in front of the Chef’s Palette Café & Grill And he has high praise for his instructors. “The chefs here are really good – I’ve learned a lot of cooking techniques and kitchen management,” he said. He added that Chef Marcela Guzman encouraged him to try out for “All Mixed Up.” “Hosting ‘All Mixed Up’ on our campus and having our students compete was one of the most exciting events I’ve seen here,” said Claude Toland, president of The Art Institute. “Cameron Bevan came from behind to win the dessert round and the overall competition, impressing the judges with his creativity by using all three secret ingredients in all three of his desserts.” Chef Jack Kane, academic director of culinary arts, echoed President Toland’s sentiments, saying that the contest “offered our culinary students a wonderful opportunity to show the quality of their culinary education to television audiences across the country. In the end, Cameron won because he was willing to take a creative risk with his desserts – and made it work for the judges.” Like a lot of chefs and chefs-in-themaking, Cameron would like to open his own restaurant some day. The public can sample students’ cuisine at the Art Institute’s Chef’s Palette Café & Grill. Visit www.allmixedup.tv or www. artinstitutes.edu/fort-lauderdale. LP

Rita & Rick Case Kick Off Bikes For Kids A Tradition That’s Gifted 100,000 Bikes

O

By Kevin Lane

ne of the fondest memories many people have of their childhood is when they got their first bicycle. Parents were often thrilled and terrified – thrilled to see the sheer joy in their children’s faces and their unbridled laughter as they find their balance and bearing, and terrified that they will fall. Of course, children fall, but they get right up and are back, mastering their new-found grown-up transportation. Thanks to Rita and Rick Case, more than 100,000 children’s holidays have been brightened by receiving a bicycle. The couple has been playing Santa Claus since 1982 by collecting bicycles at all of their Rick Case dealerships in South Florida, Cleveland and Atlanta, and donating them to kids. And the tradition continues. Once again, the “Rick Case Bikes for Kids” program kicks into high gear, with bikes being collected through December 20. Thanks to TV stations that provide free public service commercials, police departments who donate unclaimed bicycles, and all of the Rick Case associates who scour their neighborhood and call on friends to donate bikes that are in garages and basements. “Our community really comes together to make sure the children in the area can have the best holiday season possible,” Rick said. Locally, the bikes are distributed through area Boys & Girls Clubs as well as other charity organizations including Big Mama, the Prestige Club and area churches. The “Bikes for Kids” idea started in Ohio, when in addition to numerous automotive dealerships, Rick Case also had 14 family-oriented motorcycle dealerships, selling mopeds and bicycles. “I saw a lot of children come in, their eyes brightened when they saw the gleaming bicycles, but

Rita & Rick Case’s Commitment to Boys and Girls Clubs of Broward 40

Rick and I knew their families weren’t going to be able to afford such a gift. So, we decided to have a bike drive. It was hugely successful,” Rita recalled. The couple, who are among the most philanthropic people in the community, have been active supporters of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Broward County since 1985 when they opened their Acura dealership. Honda had taken over the Jackie Gleason Golf Tournament and some of the Honda corporate people suggested that Rick and Rita get involved in the Boys & Girl’s Club and help them financially and as a volunteer. “We met David Hughes, the director at the time. He showed us the facilities, explained what they did and we decided that it was the perfect organization for us to support,” Rita said. There were three facilities and 1,000 youth… today there are 13 facilities and well over 12,000 youth. The couple have raised over $50 million during the past 25 years. Visit www.rickcase.com for a location near you or call (954) 377-7410. LP .

Just last month, Rita and Rick Case celebrated the 25th Anniversary of their hugely successful Yachting Rendezvous, which took place at The Atlantis in the Bahamas. Over the years, that event has raised more than $30 million dollars for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward. Rick Case wrote a book entitled, “Our Customers, Our Friends – What 50 Years in Business has Taught Rita & and Rick Case about Sales Success and Community Service.”

The Magic of Gardening Pine Crest students have green thumbs

“M

ighty oaks from little acorns grow,” is a phrase that could well have motivated the students at Pine Crest School to start a small garden. Of course, the meaning of the phrase is that mighty things come from small beginnings. Under the guidance of Lower School Introductory Science Teacher Mary Beth Graf, first-grade students decided to try their hand at gardening and have since not only discovered that they each have a “green thumb,” but have the joy of planting seeds and watching them grow. Their success has spurred them on to expand their thinking from a small garden to, one day, a bountiful harvest. Walking from Pine Crest’s parking garage to the classrooms and offices, visitors will see a patch of brilliant marigolds nestled in a Lower School alcove. However, upon closer examination, they will see that there is a carefully planted, budding garden with leafy herbs and vegetables inside the midst of those towering marigolds! “Surrounding the garden with the marigolds serves as a natural pesticide and hungry rabbit deterrent,” said Graf. As part of a unit on soil, Graf’s students donned lab coats and picked through samples of rich humus soil and sand with tweezers. They discussed the similarities and differences of each, then visited the nearby school garden to check up on the progress of the beginnings of several small crops – including kale, tomatoes, and a variety of different squashes.

Graf said she hopes the crops will produce enough for students to sample a mini-smorgasbord of whole foods straight from the earth! “The science of agriculture is fascinating and often overlooked. Soil is an amazing natural resource and we really don’t think about what is in soil. It is not just about planting and watching things grow. There is a whole lot more involved,” Mary Beth added. “We have planted fruits, vegetables and herbs from seed. We have also added hydroponics towers.” During a spring harvest on the Boca Raton campus, the students in Miss Wanland’s PreKindergarten class had a tasty lesson in harvesting the potatoes. Chef Don Janezic of SAGE Dining Services magically transformed those potatoes into potato chips, which the students enjoyed at lunch time. ”The primary goal of the garden is to teach students the art and science, and the importance of responsibility and healthy eating,” said Pine Crest President Dr. Dana Markham. Gardening is a collaborative effort that comes with natural rewards. Pine Crest School was founded in 1934 by Dr. Mae McMillan, who was known for being progressive and adaptable. Pine Crest School has two campuses, one in Boca Raton and the main campus in Fort Lauderdale, with enrollment at more than 2,600 students. Visit www.pinecrest.edu.or call (954) 492-4103. LP

Saying “I Do� To a Smooth Divorce By Meaghan K. Marro

can run “theDivorces gamut from a

M

ost people who say “I doâ€? usually do not anticipate their marriage ending in divorce. Unfortunately, most relationships have problems, and some ultimately break down and end in divorce. Even in divorce there is choice insomuch as the parties can decide what kind of divorce they want. Divorces can run the gamut from a lengthy divorce full of anger and animosity, to a relatively smooth straightforward divorce. Below are helpful tips for making the divorce process a little less difďŹ cult, and hopefully more like the latter. SPEAK WITH ONE ANOTHER. Many people are angry and/or sad when a relationship comes to an end, but it is important not to let your emotions control how you react throughout your divorce process. There is a good chance that you will have to continue to deal with your soon to be former spouse, especially if you have children together. Remember, it may be possible to maintain a friendship after the dust has settled. UNDERSTAND YOUR NEW FINANCIAL REALITY. After the divorce, you will need to be practical about your ďŹ nancial future and plan accordingly. The ability to live within your new means may require that you have to eliminate some of your wants. You may not be able to enjoy some of the luxuries that you enjoyed in the past on a single income. DON’T INVOLVE THE CHILDREN. Never involve your children in the divorce, and never speak negatively about

�

the other parent to the children. Always remember that your child is 50% of you and 50% of you partner. If you put down your spouse you are ultimately putting down part of your child. Growing up is hard enough for children, and there is no need to add additional stress to their life. COMPROMISE. Be realistic and be prepared to compromise, if you are interested in an amicable smooth divorce. While you may want to take everything from your partner or eliminate their contact with your children, no Court will allow this to happen without compelling reasons. The more willing you are to compromise on some matters, the quicker you and your partner will be able to enter into a fair agreement and preserve your assets and sanity. LIVE FOR THE FUTURE AND NOT IN THE PAST. Divorces are usually a very difďŹ cult and emotional time for both parties. You will overcome this obstacle in your life just as you have conquered other life transitions. The sooner a conclusion is reached in a divorce proceeding, the sooner both of you are free to begin new adventures and leave the past behind. LP Meaghan K.

The Legacy of King Jewelers: Celebrating a Century as South Florida Premier Luxury Jeweler by Jeffrey Rausch 1912 was a landmark year. The Titanic embarked on her fateful voyage, New Mexico and Arizona joined the union as the 47th and 48th states, and the legendary Beverly Hills Hotel opened its doors on Sunset Boulevard. On the east coast, another prestigious establishment open it’s doors—King Jewelers. Five generations later, the jewelry business founded by Louis King continues to dazzle with precious diamonds and gems, prestigious brands, unique designs, and first-class quality and customer service. It’s a legacy the King family proudly carries. ALL IN THE FAMILY Scott King is the 4th generation of Kings to own and operate the family business, which has its flagship Miami location and a newer store in Nashville that opened in 2008. Considered South Florida’s top appraiser, Scott is the expert gemologist of choice for major insurance companies for replacements and valuations. Born and raised in Miami Beach, Scott grew up in his family’s jewelry store. He left for college in the ‘60s with plans to pursue other dreams. After school, however, he returned to South Florida to help out his father at the store—and the rest is history. Scott’s wife, Maxine, has been the company’s jewelry buyer and president for the last 38 years. Their two sons are positioned to lead the next generation of jewelers, son David opened and now runs the Nashville store and Jono is the company’s CFO. “It’s really special being part of this institution,” says David, who left his career on Wall Street to move home to Florida after the September 11 attacks. “We know our identity and roots and it’s interesting to learn about the earlier generations. Some of the systems we use in the computer are from my great grandfather.” He adds that over the past century, the jewelry business has evolved tremendously in the way of technology. Advancements in diamond cutting, for example, now make it possible to cut a perfect diamond. The pieces have become more complex too, especially the timepieces that are crafted with many more complications conceptualized and crafted by cutting edge technology. One thing that hasn’t changed over the years, however, is the King family’s commitment to delivering the highest quality of customer service to their clients, as well as, the most magnificent jewelry and timepieces from around the globe. “We pick all of our diamonds literally by hand,” says David, who adds that they are very selective about the gems they display in their showcases. “We select the highest quality piece for the best value in each category.”

As one of the few jewelers on the east coast to sell Harry Winston, King’s also carries the best luxury brands like; Breguet, Chanel, Roger Dubuis, Jeager LeCoultre, IWC, Chopard, Forevermark, & Tacori Diamond engagement rings, in addition to their stunning signature prive’ line. The goal is to match every client with the perfect piece of jewelry that suits their style and personality at the best value. There are products and price points for everyone, which have helped the business become the personal jeweler to many generations of South Florida families. “We like to focus on family heirlooms and build lifetime relationships,” says David. On any given day, you might also run into celebrities in our salons. Famous clients have included the Rat Pack, Elton John, Carmen Electra, Paul Newman and professional athletes’ to name a few. King Jewelers was recently nominated as South Florida’s #1 Jeweler and was named the 25th best Jeweler in the United States by Harper’s Bazaar. Luxury concierge and personal shopping available.

SOLVING MATH PROBLEMS JONATHAN HOFFMAN, PH.D., ABPP Licensed Psychologist Psychoeducational Liaison, Academic Options Clinical Director, NeuroBehavioral Institute www.academic-options.com www.nbiweston.com Phone: 954.843.9251 / 954.217.1757

In an early example of the practical application of math, Roman military commanders practiced “decimation” as a motivational tool. Decimation is a Latin term meaning removal by tenths. This is how it worked: Poorly performing legions were divided into units of ten to draw lots among themselves; the soldier drawing the bad lot was, shall we say, “permanently dispatched” by his nine comrades. Turning to the present, knowing how to use math effectively remains extremely important. However, many students, at all ages and ability levels, struggle with this subject. Some reasons for this include: SPECIFIC DEFICITS Needing to count on fingers later than expected, trouble telling time on non-digital clocks, poor recall of “math facts,” difficulty with graphs, and habitual errors like adding when they should subtract. These kinds of difficulties often reflect underlying weaknesses in attention, language skills, abstract thinking, or visualspatial-motor skills.

50

LACK OF INTEREST, MOTIVATION, AND FRUSTRATION TOLERANCE “Borrrring,” “It’s too hard,” “I have better things to do.” These are just a few complaints students may have about math. While some learners can attain adequate mathematical proficiency without a positive attitude, many cannot. Math skills build on one another, so once falling behind, it’s often very hard to “climb out of the hole.” This often leads to neglecting homework and studying, even in students not diagnosed as learning disabled in math or having ADHD. Poor frustration tolerance and trouble persevering through challenges both creates and magnifies math difficulties. NOT REALIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF MATH Math I.Q. is a fundamental aspect of emotional intelligence. Social judgment requires “intuitive math,” which is used, for example, to weigh the pros and cons of relationships and manage internal conflicts and feelings effectively. So, when students say about math, “I’ll never use this stuff in real life,” they couldn’t be more inaccurate. Math skills are essential for working in business, architecture, medicine, science, computers, and most other fields. Unfortunately, students with math problems often have difficulty connecting “real life” to the material they are learning in school (e.g. future job possibilities and personal finance). While there is no magic solution, a specialized Math

DECEMBER 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM

Skills Program designed by a team of well-trained educators and clinicians can make a big difference. Students are taught skills step-by-step until mastery and retention are achieved, with exercises that are as “real-life” as possible. This systematic approach is designed to ensure that there is a strong foundation for tackling new goals. An effective academic intervention program must go beyond the instructional level and incorporate each individual student’s cognitive and psychosocial profile into the plan. Helping students understand and develop their unique learning and goal setting process is also a priority. This is what differentiates a truly comprehensive Math Skills program from the more typical math tutoring that focuses on reviewing work from school and completing homework. Although students that lag behind in math won’t literally be decimated like Roman soldiers, they may be negatively affected in many other ways. For them, learning math is a basic survival skill, both for getting better grades in school, and even more importantly, for their ability to function at the highest level possible throughout the rest of their lives.

SHOULD HO, HO, HO TURN INTO NO, NO, NO THIS HOLIDAY SEASON? TIPS ON HOW TO SHOP SAFE AND SMART In spite of the continued economic slowdown, each year holiday spending continues to increase. From 2010 to 2011 holiday spending increased 4.1% and expectations indicate spending is likely to be even higher this year. With millions of Americans still facing financial problems with unemployment and debt, now is not the time to overspend. To keep holiday costs down, consumers need to create holiday budget strategies that help them save. New shopping holidays seem to pop up every year as retailers clamor for consumer dollars. To help you distinguish between the real deals and the duds I have rounded up the best shopping tips to help you get great gifts and not get over your head in debt! MAKE YOUR LIST. Create a list of all of the gifts you need to buy for the holidays now. Write down specific items you want to buy for each person and do some research to determine the estimated cost of each gift. Be as specific as possible to help you avoid impulse shopping in the store, which always increases your holiday spending. CHECK IT (MORE THAN) TWICE. Once you have your list, check it regularly to compare it to sales and special offers you find.

Check online, check your local newspapers and keep an eye out for sales. Every time you find a deal on a gift that’s on your list, write down the information for the sale and how much you will save. If you find a better deal later, change the information so you always have the information on the best deal written down. For more expensive gifts make certain to shop around as prices can vary widely. DON’T DEVIATE. Retailers put in hard work to make attractive store displays intended to pull you into spending more money throughout the holiday season. Shopping with a list decreases the potential for impulse purchases, but only if you can commit to sticking to your list. Remember, if you didn’t intend on buying something, then even if the items are on sale this increase the amount you planned to spend. MAKE FRIENDS ONLINE. “Like” stores that you want to shop at on Facebook and Follow them on Twitter. Many retailers will offer exclusive deals and promotions to their social media audience that you won’t find anywhere else. STAY SAFE. Only shop from stores that you recognize and only enter credit card information if you know the

site is secure. A secure website address starts with “https://” so if you don’t see an “s” in the address prefix, don’t enter your information. The last thing you need during holiday shopping is identity theft and the hassle of chasing down fraudsters. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FREE SHIPPING. Shopping online early allows you to use free ground shipping options without the worry that your gifts won’t arrive on time. With so many days before the holidays begin, you can buy gifts online and use free shipping to save money.

GOOGLE REVISES THE RULES OF SEARCH: IS YOUR SITE “PENGUIN” READY? DON SILVER Chief Operations Officer Boardroom Communications (954) 370-8999 (954) 629-7523 Cell (954) 370-8892 Fax donsil@boardroompr.com

Google has changed the rules for ranking websites, and you may have seen your site either move up a few notches or get knocked down several pages. Either way, your business needs to be smarter about how it generates visitors now that the new criteria, called “Penguin,” have gone into effect. While Google doesn’t explicitly state its new criteria, they are designed to detect and punish websites that try to trick search engines into thinking the sites are popular. Google frowns on what’s called “keyword stuffing,” the practice of putting key search engine terms over and over on a web page. The search engine giant also penalizes companies that pay for inbound links to drive visitors to their sites and for links to low-quality websites. Understanding and staying current with Google’s changes is difficult and time-consuming. A professional firm like Boardroom Communications Inc. can help a business analyze its website, make recommendations and provide professional assistance.

52

Here are some Boardroom tips on how to keep your website fresh: UÊ Stay up to date with changes to Google’s search criteria by following its Webmaster Central Blog. In this game of cat and mouse, the cat changes the rules regularly. UÊ Watch for a spike in links to your website that produces negative SEO. A competitor may be linking your website to bad sites to hurt your Google ranking. Try to pull down the IP address of the offending links to avoid a hit. UÊ Do not use link exchanges, which are banner ads on the websites of companies that have agreed to share ads among themselves. The links supposedly increase the popularity of your website, but, under “Penguin” rules, Google penalizes such behavior. UÊ Post original content focused on the topics and keyword phrases you are targeting on a regular and frequent basis. Re-posting identical content from other sites hurts you. Providing fresh, valuable infor mation helps you. UÊ Do not do business with the “black-hat” guys, the companies that promise topof-page search results and use unethical means to achieve

DECEMBER 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM

that. Not only will you spend a lot of money, but Google will later punish your site for using underhanded methods. UÊ Google your business to find out how you rank and use tools such as Google Analytics to determine where your traffic is coming from. Adjust your content and website structure as needed. UÊ Create a blog and post often, linking back with anchor text to the appropriate pages on your main website to build audience and inbound links. UÊ Make good use of video by uploading segments to video sharing sites like YouTube and embedding a link back to your website, blog or social media. UÊ Use Facebook, Linkedin, Google+ and other social media to generate traffic and build legitimate links to your website. If your website never makes it to page-one on Google for the search terms that are important to your business, have an audit performed by an SEO expert. They will evaluate both onsite and offsite opportunities to improve your search rankings with all of the search engines.

WHY BUY AN EXISTING BUSINESS? GOODWILL! ANDREW CAGNETTA Certified Business Intermediary CEO, Transworld Business Advisors Offices Nationwide 954-772-1122 www.tworld.com

I am not sure what event I was attending but the topic was creativity, getting out of your comfort zone, and thinking outside the box. The speaker challenged the crowd to hold up their arm that had a watch on it. Mine was my left. My watch is always on my left wrist. She asked everyone to take it off and put it on your other arm, and leave it there! Try it, very uncomfortable…. What happened next is exactly why existing businesses and franchises are great investments, and any future business owner thinking of a pure start up should take heed. Some of us moved our watches and kept them there for the rest of the presentation. Most moved their watch for a few minutes and felt uncomfortable and quickly returned them to their “correct” arm. Still others REFUSED to even move their watch! WOW, they couldn’t even move their watch for a minute!! The power of habit is huge!!! Imagine trying to create a new brand, new product, or new service. The ability to succeed is so overwhelming in my estimation, that you are much better off buying

a business that has established customers with established habits or a franchise with a proven business model: Here’s a few ingredients in what we sometimes flippantly call goodwill, but have huge value because there are customers that are habitually using the service, product or location: The GOODWILL HOT LIST: What to look for to buy an existing business: UÊ Established UÊ Location UÊ Phone Number UÊ Pricing structure UÊ Name UÊ Logo UÊ Color scheme UÊ Product reliability UÊ Employees UÊ Value to customer UÊ Warm feeling by customer UÊ Familiarity by customer UÊ Advertisements UÊ Networks UÊ Website? Domain Name? UÊ Business model UÊ How many more can you list Existing businesses are probably the most underrated investment in our free enterprise system! Alternative investments to buying an existing business: What do you think? UÊ Savings/CD’s- what return? UÊ Stocks- no thanks! UÊ Real estate- missed the boat! UÊ Vegas- usually a no win. UÊ Start up businesses- no way! Existing businesses- Count me in! My advice for finding a good small business or franchise is

DECEMBER 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM

simple. You have to get into the marketplace. Search the internet, call a good business broker, tell your circle of influence and then have a team of advisors to help you decide on what would fit for you. A good team of advisors includes a good business broker, accountant, attorney, and a business mentor that you can trust. Understand the process takes time and that you need to be patient. However, once you find the right business or franchise, you must be decisive and move quickly! Great deals on businesses and franchises sell fast and the way to spot a great deal is to be educated on exactly what to look for. As I have outlined here in this article, goodwill is very real and valuable. If you don’t believe in the power of habit and goodwill, wear you watch on your other arm for a week!!
