Harrison has worked on virtually every continent with organizations ranging from small villages to large corporations and NGOs. His major concern has been to assist organizations as they negotiate a transforming world. In some cases his role has been little more than holding the hands of the anxious.

USAToday reports that the following companies are “phasing out” imported products from China. Menu Foods Royal Canin C.J. Foods Chenango Valley Pet Foods Other pet food companies, such as the USA’s biggest, Nestle Purina PetCare, now screen for melamine.  Note:  See our related article noting that many veterinarians DO NOT BELIEVE that melamine was the culprit. Just a reminder that the ASPCA has called for all pet owners to check with their pet food companies on the source of ingredients and not use any where the protein sources come from China. Two of the foods recommended on this blog, HealthyPetNet and Canidae/Felidae (available in some specialty stores and online via PetFoodDirect), go a step further and note on their websites that they source only from within the United States.  The Honest Kitchen is another one.  Check on your pet food company’s website to see if source of ingredients is now listed, there are too many for The Safe Pet Food Blog to k

I work from home, and I hear so many people say that they want to start a home business, but I can see that they are misguided before they even start.Working from home is not that hard to do if you are a determined individual but most people just do not have the right information. They cannot see the big picture because they are staring into a dark world they know nothing about.Ecommerce seems simple; you post your products and you make a profit. Most people get that part down but what they fail to realize is that you have to be able to source products from a real wholesale distributor to be able to turn a profit. You also have to build a business, complete with websites and marketing strategies for shoppers to even find you.Operating a website is much
