How Can I Get a Business Credit Card?

Road warriors and professional sales staff know all about using corporate credit cards (cards issued to them by their employer) for the purpose of having a single credit card for all business expenses. The business gets the points or cash back, and the employee doesn’t have to deal with using personal money and waiting for […]

How to Run a Business and Still Care for Your Family

I met a guy who was a busy executive at a startup in Silicon Valley. His family, a wife and three young kids, lived several states away. He lived in a hotel during the week, worked every evening, and flew home every weekend before returning to the office on Monday morning. Not a very dedicated family guy, right?On the contrary. When I asked him about living in two cities, he admitted it was sometimes a challenge. But then he talked about what the weekends were like. “We do everything together,” he said. “We go camping. We bake and cook. We play hard the whole weekend long. I know I have to go back on Monday, so I'm constantly thinking about how to squeeze as much time and as many experiences in as we can.”His family had discussed the arrangement of him being away mid-week, and they re-evaluated it twice a year. So far, at least, it was working.I went away from the conversation impressed. It's probably not easy, but it works. Who was I to judge? Just as he’d found a solution that worked well, there are probably plenty of unstable and unhappy families with people who spend all their time together.Priorities are not just a question of time, in other words, they are also a question of focus and intention. I think it’s important for each of us to be able to say:This is what I am living for.This is what matters.I will select these values and allow them to be my compass.The way this is lived out may be different than how other people live, or it may even be totally unique.

Other Carriers Can’t Compete With Gulf Airlines Under The Current System — Here’s Why

I’ve written extensively about the battle going on between the “big three” US carriers (American, Delta, and United) and the “big three” Middle Eastern carriers (Emirates, Etihad, and Qatar) regarding the Open Skies agreement.

This debate might seem insignificant to some, but it has the potential to change how liberalized international air service has become over the past few years, which is in consumers' best interests.

I’ve been doing some research on the issue, and I finally understand the position of the US airlines, and even finally side with them. Previously I saw where the Gulf carriers were coming from, but now that I "get" the stance of the US airlines, their grievances make perfect sense to me.

I think we’ll see a lot more information made public in the near future which puts this into perspective.
