A much better idea of what I want to do...
I just turned 40 and my life is going through some major life changes. I wasn't really sure what direction my life was headed, much less how to get there. It honestly left me feeling kind of stuck and like my life had no direction. The Personal Futures session with Vinny Tafuro was truly what I needed. It helped me to gauge where in my life I was and gave me a framework for how to think about my future and which direction I want my life to go. Now I have a much better idea of what I want to do and what steps I need to start taking to get there. I am grateful for feeling like I can now move forward with my life. – HL
The future is far less terrifying...
I have ADHD and have so many plans, desires, and needs going through my head but have such a hard time focusing enough to put everything in order and definitely see the forest and not the trees. I'm also self-employed with two businesses so I have a lot going on which compounds this issue.
Vinny really took the time to listen to my needs and to get to the core of my values before we even began the process. We widdled down to three overall subjects then widdled those down to goals I can aim for over different points in time then finally widdled them down to easy tasks I can start within the next 24 hours. I work best with a checklist of tasks and it was extremely helpful to have someone help me lay it out. The future is far less terrifying and I can actually see a plan for myself for more than the next year or two. I'm incredibly thankful for Vinny's expertise and encouragement. – LP

Consumers Not Gaga for Mobile Ads
June 26, 2007
By Brian Morrissey
ABI Research anticipates $3 billion will be spent on mobile ads this year, rising to $19 billion in 2011.
NEW YORK While advertisers are giddy at the prospect of placing ads on cellphones, many consumers are wary of the prospect.
A Harris Interactive survey found consumers ambivalent to the idea of ad-supported content and services on their cellphones. When asked of the different forms of cellphone advertising, from text links tied to search results to a promo ad when turning on the phone, the overwhelming majority of respondents found them “not acceptable at all.”
The Internet’s most successful form of advertising to date, search links, was the most popular, with 33 percent finding them “somewhat” or “very” acceptable. A video clip appearing from a retail store nearby did not go over as well: 84 percent said the tactic was unacceptable. Other forms Harris asked about included text messages from companies, voice mail messages from a celebrity or spokesperson and audio ads that play while a call is connected.
