August Meeting
08/18/2010-SHBC Monthly Meeting
Speaker: Brian Pauls
Presentation: The Mouse That Roared
With Today's Technology, Your Business Is Always As Big As It Needs To Be
Did you know Google is more than just a search engine. Google has a multitude of free applications and programs the small business owner can use to manage and grow their business. Ever heard the term WIKI or WeB 2.0?
Google, Wikis, Web 2.0 and the Cloud--what do today's Internet buzzwords really mean for your bottom line?
There has never been a better time for small and home-based businesses to take on larger, more cumbersome competitors. More information, available to more people, in more places, has leveled what used to be a very uneven playing field.
Small businesses have always been able to react and adapt faster than the big dinosaurs, but this advantage was limited by lower production capacity and--too often—unfair negative market perception.
Today, these restrictions have vanished, and the business owners who flourish will be those who recognize that the rules have changed.
Don’t get left behind by this historic economic shift. Learn how to use the new online technology to take your business to the top.

Speaker Information:
Brian S. Pauls, President
Brian S. Pauls graduated with a B.A. in Communication Arts from Bethel College in North Newton, Kansas. His 10 years of experience in the computer field have shown him an unmet need--the application of technology on a truly individual level. In an industry filled with "hardware" people rather than "people people," Brian's background in communication was a tremendous asset. He founded PerAspera Consulting to bring individualized technology solutions to clients who are tired of the "one size fits all" approach.
