you can't even begin to digest it -- especially now with
the Web. Entrepreneurs need critical info fast, so they
can take action now. So at Idea Cafe, we serve info

Distance Consulting
A "skullworks" is a place where people's work requires them to use their brains instead of
their brawn. It is a place where work is knowledge-based and people are knowledge workers. My consulting
practice - Distance Consulting - is a skullworks and this section of my web site contains many of its products,
mainly articles that I have written and published over the years. It also includes a few papers by others.
Feel free to poke around and look for work products of interest to you and relevant to your needs and
requirements.

what was missing from this information and provide a remedy for the situation.
