Let's start with a top worry for any company: the bottom line. Studies by Sears and DuPont have shown that hiring workers with disabilities does not translate into higher accommodation costs, such as adapting office space or equipment. As studies by the President's Job Accommodation Network committee have shown, most workers with disabilities require no special accommodations. Among those who do, 15% cost the employer nothing. A little more than half of the workplace modifications cost $500 or l…

Studies show that hiring the disabled does not lead to higher accommodation costs, worker comp, or sick leave, yet these myths persist. Technology closes the gap. Read this informative article by Ralph Braun.

Is there anyone standing outside of your door, just dying to do business with you? I doubt it. When I started in sales long ago I was called me into the company owner’s office on the first day I reported for work. Here’s the brief conversation:
Owner: “Pete…welcome. We’re glad to have you on board. Do you see anyone standing outside of our door, just dying to come in and do business with us?
Me, glancing at the front door to the offices: “Ummm, no sir.”
Owner: You have to go out and bring in the…

All of us have benefited directly and indirectly from the EE Social Network and from Joe Kennedy's efforts as a connector in our community. As EE enters it's second year, we need to show our support to Joe and harness the potential power of this group and support this event. We all have an interest in this and need to take part in shaping the future of EE. Let's finish off 2009 with a show of force and transfer that positive energy into 2010.

Over the past year it has been my pleasure to help organize networking events for
Eastside Entrepreneurs - many of them FREE, most of them with a lot of effort and some of them with considerable cost to myself. Many of our members have personally told me that they want to support the group and me in particular so that we keep on having "official" Eastside Entrepreneurs events.
This is the time to step up.
Fellow EE members…

Every year hackers get smarter and sneakier about how to infiltrate people’s computers, steal vital personal information, and spread mischief. A few years ago, all you had to worry about was malware spread by e-mail attachments. These days, you have to worry about mysterious links showing up in your instant messages, weird messages from Facebook friends you’ve never heard of, and malicious web sites downloading who knows what to your computer as soon as you visit them.
So what’s a safe Web surfe…

I met a few friends or business connections today in two locations here in the Seattle-Bellevue area. I met one person at the Bellevue Hyatt Hotel and another at the University Village Starbucks (near UW).
The Hyatt had a huge addition put on over the past two years and has been open for a few months. The connecting area between the original hotel lobby and the new one is a gorgeous atrium- a very attractive and comfortable place to sit and converse. The new tower has new ballrooms and meeting r…

Killer Foods for kids
Burger King Kids' Double Cheeseburger with Small Fries and Coke

BK's double beef earns the distinction of being the fattest meal for an on-the-go kid.
It has 18 more grams of fat than the same meal at McDonald's.
The meal might be quick, but it takes a long time for a 90-pound child to burn all those calories.
