Dear Reader,
You've heard that "nothing happens until something is sold?"

It's a critical saying for early stage business owners.

And while some new business owners are exceptionally talented with regard to personal selling skills, they are the minority.

My training programs over the years have been directed toward creating and/or increasing revenue generation for those I have worked with.


My history has been in inventing new and different processes and programs to accelerate business growth.

I have been fortunate to have created numerous "firsts" for Houston, Texas, the U.S.A and the world.

Things like Houston's first business incubator, the first Womens Business Center in the United States and the first Virtual Business Accelerator in the world.

Another "first ever" is just what I'm introducing you to now.

SCA has been on the World Wide Web since 11 days after it became public in 1991 and it gets about 1,368,219 visitors a year.

You probably already know that a web page pointing to yours increases your rankings in the WWW and that's what I'm intending to do for you now!

Come have breakfast with me any Wednesday morning for the remainder of May. 2 Wednesdays total and you just have to attend one time.

I'll be at Corner Bakery Cafe, 9311 Katy Freeway (I-10 W at Echo Lane), 7:30 to 8:30 AM and we'll use this meeting as the opportunity to meet personally, face-to-face.

I'll record the business service you have skills in providing along with your URL (web address) and publish both to the "Need Something Done?" web page on the SCA site to direct potential business customers to your web site.

Be sure to let me know you're coming.

And tell me when you observe increased web traffic to your site after the posting.

Successful regard$,

1916
With expectations of an Ottoman defeat at the hands of the Triple Entente, the Sykes-Picot Agreement maps out the territories that the United Kingdom, France, and Russia plan to control in the Middle East. The secret plan will be exposed, angering Arab leaders who were promised independent rule.
1935
Having survived almost suicidal risk in the Arabian Desert fighting alongside Arabs battling Turks, a capture and torture, and a plane crash in Egypt, ex-British Army officer T.E. Lawrence, 46, finds death among the quiet hedgerows of Dorset, England, after crashing his motorcycle.
1963
Jailed for civil disobedience in Birmingham, Alabama, Martin Luther King, Jr. pens a letter outlining his nonviolent civil rights struggle. Parts of the forceful 'Letter from Birmingham Jail' are published in the New York Post Sunday Magazine and will inspire both debate and devotion to King's cause.
1992
Amy Fisher, age 17, shoots Mary Jo Buttafuoco. Fisher is allegedly having an affair with Mary Jo’s husband, Joey Buttafuoco. Mary Jo is injured but survives the attack. Fisher will spend seven years in prison, and the sensational story will become the subject of multiple TV movies.

TIPS OF THE DAY
"Houston's greatest energy resource is entrepreneurial energy."
C. Dean Kring
"Recognized as an industry leader and pioneer in small business incubation" by the National Business Incubation Association and as "One of Houston's core entrepreneurial groups" by the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation and "Ranked the #1 new business development group in Houston" by Houston Proud!

We are a not-for-profit cooperative association of independent
business owners for market expansion, business development,
entrepreneurial education and professional growth.

We were created from a specific and priority research project of the Houston Chamber of Commerce in the late 1970's on the importance of start-up and emerging small businesses. We brought you Houston's first small business incubator, which became Texas' oldest, the first co-working space in Texas, the first Womens Business Center in the United States and the first Residency Incubator and first Virtual Accelerator Program in the World. Our clients have ranged from pre-start-ups to the largest companies in the United States! We clearly demonstrated that entrepreneurship could be taught, that business plans were not a requirement for a successful business, that women were starting businesses at a faster rate than men and that entrepreneurship was color-blind and gender neutral. Our start-ups have won virtually every award in Houston for business growth, some nationally, some even internationally and some of our established client companies are now household names in Houston. We operate entirely without grants, gifts, donations or public funding. We don't have our hand out and are NOT your tax dollars at work! We are totally self-sufficient!

We grow companies, build careers and advance ideas!
May we assist with yours?
