Choosing the right type of commercial lighting is important to running a successful business establishment. While a business will naturally want to keep costs down, this should not take priority over choosing the type of lighting it needs. Instead, a business, office or restaurant should focus on providing lighting that helps its employees work well and encourages customers to visit their establishment and acquire their services or products.

Last week, I discussed three important areas of project management and ended by briefly discussing project communication – or the glue to a project. Hopefully, you’ve had the chance to consider how deliberate your project communications are. As I mentioned before, communication often occurs by accident – it just happens. But like everything in business, if you’re just letting things happen, you’re probably missing an opportunity to better your business.

Most construction companies have dedicated project or construction managers to oversee their projects – the core of a contractor’s business.

Question: Why is YouTube/Google spending time and resources to attract as many partners as possible, while many are ending up on the "disabled accounts" heap? Or are they? This is a question of perception and relativity. I’m certainly no Einstein, but appreciate the relativity concept — that is, how you see things depends on where you are and that the truth (even if it must be objectively the same everywhere) will vary depending on your perception.
