Local Reach LLC has figured out how to give free web publicity to the world. Small businesses (3-25 employees) struggle with two things, people and publicity. Local Reach LLC solves both challenges. Simply outsourcing employee’s payroll to LR, employees of smaller companies have access to benefits and insurance and companies no longer need to worry about payroll taxes, workers comp or fronting payroll every two weeks. Instead of silly fees and mark-ups for finding people, like recruiting firms, Local Reach promotes current and new employees of clients. Employees of small businesses share their experiences with employers with Local Reach’s publicity machine, resulting in boosting employee morale, branding and retention of the most valuable company asset…..its people. Service is perfect for non-profits, start-ups, churches and other smaller retail & ministry operations.

Local Press talks to Bake the Cycle
8September 2008
So, the local press is making a big deal about Bake the Cycle in their little town. This is bigger than we think, the widows are putting together a drama this year. We want to film them doing this and get this into the theatre. Everyone needs to know about this story.
Published: September 04, 2008 12:17 pm |
As the Rwandan mission continues for locally-based True Vineyard ministries, 10 widows in the city of Ruhengeri-Musanze now have something they could have never imagined a year ago: A full-time job. |
“I think they were surprised by it (the oven) at first,” Wiley said. “Even over here in the States, it looks like a satellite, some UFO thing. So many of them have never baked in any type of oven. They just don’t have that kind of concept. Even down to trying to slice the bread, they didn’t know how to use a bread knife. This is something that is completely unknown to them.” |

Solve Attrition Problems
5September 2008
Reading this and putting it into practice in any business could solve the alarming attrition rate in America. We are so used to just disposing of people because they don’t “fit the job” what about fitting a job around them and who they are and what they will become….how liberating. Tell me a company that does this and I’m there’s for life…
CW: Obviously, an organic human capital strategy has to focus on getting as many productivity employees in the organization as possible. What can a business who wants to be organic do to retain these employees once they have them? |

Grow Old Together. Most jobs have some potential for creativity and growth. Most employees bring their own desire and potential for creativity and growth. Consider the aspirations of the individual employee. These exist, whether acknowledged or not. It is easy to believe that, once understood, these aspirations are static. But this is absolutely not the case. Aspirations change with time, with experience, with maturity, with age. Aspirations change, yet companies often have no recognition of this reality. They make no provision for the different, often uncontrollable external events going on in their employees’ lives. They treat them all the same, yet different stages of life can make you good or bad, a fit or not a fit, for different roles at different times. |

Broken
31August 2008
The story of 10 widows impacts an entire city– and God gets the credit for all of it. The cycle is broken because of a house, a solar oven & a sheep.
Some of you know by now I work with a ministry, a small one, making a big impact in African villages. The story is incredible. It’s God breathed, no doubt. If you know me, you know I love Jesus. This story is confirmation that there is a God, and that He loves us, and is the source of Hope. All hope, all good things and everything anyone needs to be fulfilled. |
It started with me when Erica O’Grady & I took a trip to San Marcos to see some people in the internet business, Daniel Guitierez, & Diana Wiley. The last of these is where the story begins. |

Missed it AGAIN! Barcamp Houston
11August 2008
That’s about the ONLY thing bad about being a single mom, I miss the coolest events sometimes!! But it’s a good thing that the guys at Startuphouston.com and awesome people at the event contribute so much, for us poor pitiful souls! If you haven’t had a chance to go to a barcamp, you must, you just absolutely must!!
Bringing lunch in was the best idea I ever had. Last year, we all broke away for lunch and the event fizzled out after that. This year, we brought in Pappas BBQ and I believe it was a huge hit. Thanks to Ed Schipul for taking charge during feeding time to speed up the process. Most everyone was surprised that lunch was catered and it helped us recharge for the afternoon sessions. |

Great Answers to Web Branding through Video
7August 2008
These people on Linkedin had some great answers to a question I asked the other day. I especially love the answer about the COMMUNITY determining the validity of a video. Once a company understands that the audience on the web is escaping advertising and marketing, they may catch onto allowing their employees to create their own documentaries, good & bad–then promote their employee’s brand vs. their own.
|
Why are businesses still making antiviral videos and expecting viral results?
|
Can you really “make” a video go viral? Isn’t it the community that ultimately decides what goes viral. A business can create something that may qualify as viral worthy, but unless people share the video, it doesn’t matter.
I think the key is creating story about a business or brand that resonates with an audience, but some of that is still trial and error.
|
Messages from Miguel Cano (1): |
It’s not just with video but with the web in general. We’re what, 10+ years into this whole innernets thing and lots of marketing people still don’t understand if you want to broadcast the SOS on the web, the message will be ignored. Create something interesting and human and it has a much better chance to resonate with people even if it is not a huge viral success.

Who do YOU work for?
6August 2008
Brad has posted a blog entry about who he really works for, in this day and time, it’s nice to know we work for the One who is constant and never changes. Great post, Brad!
In a recent discussion with my wife, we both came to realize who we truly work for. We work for God. In the world today, many of us are defined by what we do for a living. If you think about it, what is just about the first topic that comes up when you meet someone new or see someone you haven’t seen in a while. It usually centers around their jobs or careers. If you ask someone to tell you about themselves without asking about their work, it will frequently come up first. Most of us work for someone, meaning we are not self-employed. This means we have a boss. It also means that if we do not keep the boss happy, he/she might ask us to find employment elsewhere. For those of us who have been through that experience, it can be very frightening, humbling and life-changing. |

Live Streaming from Live Events
6August 2008
Here’s the idea of live-streaming from shows, with live broadcasters. No more closed entertainment, see it live. Better streaming equipment is needed, to get it to the social web, not just a website. This is live from The Good Business Show in Houston Texas. In previous segments, broadcasters were interviewing the show guests.
Great Book: Required Reading for Any Startup
6August 2008
Not crazy about the title, but it got ME to pick it up, so it worked. I love the ROWE: Results Only Work Environment. If you were like me, one easily frustrated with being lumped down to the lowest, unproductive common denominator in Corporate America, this book speaks to you. Had corporations adopted this thinking and radioactive formula for success, they would still have you and I and the ideas, productivity and $$$$ to show for it. To the authors: Thanks for writing this book so people don’t think I’m nuts.

why work sucks and how to fix it
|
No Schedules, No Meetings, No Joke – the simple change that can make your job terrific |
In a “Results-Only” company or department, employees can do whatever they want whenever they want, as long as business objectives are achieved. No more pointless meetings, racing to get in at 9:00, or begging for permission to watch your kid play soccer. No more cramming errands into the weekend, or waiting until retirement to take up your hobbies again. You make the decisions about what you do and where you do it, every minute of every day. |
This book explores why most workplaces are so dysfunctional, and offers a dramatic new way to stop the toxic behaviors and beliefs (“sludge”) that keep us from reaching our potential. It also shows readers how to start their own Results-Only Work Environment, even on a small scale, and help spread the revolution. |
