Making the Switch – Leaving Cable For Satellite TV

January 26th, 2010 by

While breakups with girlfriends or spouses can be difficult, it can be just as trying to leave behind something or someone less emotionally entangled in your life. Take, for example, the dog and pony show of trying to switch hair stylists. You don’t want to insult someone by letting them know that your tastes have changed, that you’ve met someone else who does things better, but at some point or another, it’s often time to move on. This phenomenon is not limited to people like barbers or favorite restaurants, but also to various utilities and brands.

January 26th, 2010 by

All across the United States, business owners are facing a truly difficult scenario that is barely showing any signs of letting up: despite forecasts that predict a slight upturn beginning right about now, most business owners feel like they are still in the pits, at the bottom of the barrel, sloshing around in the dregs.
