It is impossible to ignore that the internet, electronic devises, and social media have an overshadowing presence in our personal and professional lives - and it is still growing.

ICEL Chair: People vs A.I. - Why You Should Embrace Life Long Learning
by April Tanner, CCE, Kimball Equipment Company
Recently, I was catching up on some reading I had set aside and found an article about machines and computers artificial intelligence (A.I.) replacing people in the July 2017 Entrepreneur Magazine.

Two Simple Life-Changing Tips
by Rita Emmett, The Procrastinators Handbook
Recently, one of our perceptive readers emailed a description of the clutter in her house: "I felt myself being pulled in a million different directions. I felt bombarded in my head with things that needed to get done, yet I became completely overwhelmed when I tried tackling them."
Do you relate to that?
That overwhelmed feeling is a huge cause of procrastination whether you feel swamped by a totally cluttered house, or so much paper clutter that you can't find anything, or a list of things-to-do that looks like it could not possibly be completed in this century or a million other overwhelming projects . . .

Dealing with Difficult People
by Joanne Martin, CCE, L.K.L. Associates
As credit managers we all have marginal accounts that are higher risk. These accounts take extra monitoring, time and care, to be able to protect the balance due to your company. As you know, any account can become past due.
