It gets difficult to decide. Ever have this problem?
Marc, I agree with Pierce, online, list them all, it IS what you do. I too have multiple endeavors so on the business cards in my purse I list my title as "Serial Entrepreneur" knowing that when I hand it to someone, we will be speaking and I can discuss the business that most relates to them. I also agree with Pierce that 3 is a good number to allow you to truly focus. 2 or 3 of my businesses are primary (and thats because I don't have children) the others are really secondary, side businesses.
To determine your business focus - determine your TARGET MARKET. You cannot be all things to all people. People want specialists and people who can help them with their specific markets.
I tell people all the time, "Stop trying to be Wal-Mart!"
What is your passion? What do you want the world to know about you?
That is what is your Title.
Of course, my best business card, for myself? I put my name, phone number and email address. THAT'S IT! Before I give my card to someone I write something personal on it, to remind them how we met. Very effective.
All the Best,

All good ideas. I guess it depends on what you are trying to do. For me, sometimes I just want to introduce myself. Just a link to my blog might be enough. http://steveorris.com
I would suggest the Marc Alan Innes & Associates. You have a lot going on and some that you have not posted here - like the SOC - therefore, you can develop a primary blog that draws traffic to your individual sites and shares your knowledge (don't forget to Twitter). Write articles and network blogs that link to the primary blog.
Feature the primary specialties on the back of your physical business card :)
