Stephen Tolton — Thu, 02 May 2019 20:00:00 -0400

Today, Adobe started "testing" a 100% price increase for their Lightroom + Photoshop monthly plan that I and many other photographers use.

Some events in my life recently have reminded me of the importance of business continuity. My continuity plan is still a work in progress, but I discuss some thoughts I have about the tools that can help you implement one, especially as a small business or solo business owner. Bonus! Using these tools will make your day-to-day life easier.

4: Collaborative Pizza Party

Stephen Tolton — Fri, 04 Jan 2019 23:00:00 -0500

I'm feeling better, so I grab my first slice of 2019 at my favorite local pizza place. I also discuss the importance of local businesses collaborating with each other and with community organizations and why I think this is an important part of any small business' strategy for flourishing in today's Amazon/big box dominated world. I talk about some of the town events I've witnessed or participated in as examples as well as the importance of cross-promotion on social media.

Ultimately, local businesses are run by our neighbors and people who have invested in the community. Great things can come about when we all work together.
