I love to decorate. However, budgeting constraints hold me back from completing my full vision. Although I’m still searching for a lot of those final-touch pieces for my home, my projects are heading in the right direction. Maybe if I increased my decorating budget it would happen faster … ? The thought that “I could be completely done with my decorating and focus on other things–to put decorating on the back burner and just relax” is appealing; however, I’m starting to learn that haste in decorating creates a rushed impression, and it’s not entirely authentic.

For example, go to your favorite store for home decorating pieces, and you’ll find that their styles rotate from season to season. Continue Reading »

Jim faced two scenarios in the space of a week.

He called Quality Gutters since they had advertised a “free no-risk consultation,” where a contractor would visit his home, inspect the problem and give him an estimate to replace the gutters in around an hour. Continue Reading »

Are you an inventor or innovator with the next big thing on the web? Do you live in fear that someone will steal that idea? Idea theft is a major problem that has taken on a new twist in the information age.  

As a web development company, people come to us all the time with great ideas. We’re privileged to participate in early conversations that shape product launches. Some ideas are great — others not so great (remind me to tell you about a few hilarious ones the next time I see you at a party). One thing is certain, creators often fear someone stealing their idea. Continue Reading »

Every so often, someone comes floating around the office to refill your coffee, to shine your shoes, to file your paper work, to answer your phone, and to do so without speaking a word.

It’s the intern.

Typically the intern is left with the tasks that no one wants to complete. And it usually works out well for everyone. Everyone, that is, except for the intern.

Fortunately, here at Worthwhile, interns are considered a valuable part of the team. Continue Reading »
