Can you teach an Old Dog new tricks?

My topic today is can you teach an old dog new tricks. By that I mean can somebody reinvent themselves to be valuable again in today’s New Economy. When you last read a post from me I was launching a consulting business specializing in helping small and medium size companies with their organizational and staff development issues. But with the slow economic growth America is experiencing I found that I must expand my service offerings and tap into different revenue streams.
Now I’m back on the web because I have some new ideas on how to use this medium to establish multiple revenue streams more on that in later blogs. While previously I wrote about books I read that pertained to small business now my focus will be on highlighting individuals like myself who have stepped off the merry go round and have stuck out on their own to make their way independently in this new economy. I am open to posting written material from you that deals with some of these subjects:

• Career changers who are or have successfully reinvented themselves.
  
• Individuals who have overcome great obstacles or circumstances in their lives.
  
• Small business people who maybe trying to promote their business via the internet and would like to swap stories via my BlogSpot.
  

In future posts I’ll highlight the Culbertson Mansion, an Indiana Historic Site located in New Albany, Indiana that I plan to propose a landscaping project for, a mother from Kentucky who makes and sells natural soap and share with you another business ideas that I am currently working on.
As always I welcome your comments and suggestions for future posts please drop me a line and let me know you are out there. Thanks for reading and by the way the answer to the dog and tricks question is Yes! you can teach an old dog new tricks. For a look at a real dog see a picture of me and my dog Wilson on Trail 4 at Charlestown State Park in Charlestown, Indiana—I’m the one with the white goatee, until next time thanks for being there.
