Small Business Branding - You Can't Avoid It
Tips on Brand Management for Small BusinessYou can't avoid branding, so make it work for you, not your competitors. Many business owners believe branding is only for the big guns, for major companies with large marketing budgets. People that run small and medium sized businesses often have a reluctance to invest in branding. But branding isn't about what you believ

ough to light the fire again. If you think it’s just a phase, take positive action to bring the phase to an end as quickly as possible.

If it’s not a phase, then it’s time to do some serious reflecting about your future. Life is too short to continue down the wrong career path. Visit the library and borrow some books on career choices. Go online and explore the multitude of career advice sites. Learn everything you can about career transitions, and embark upon a plan of action.

The Era of 'Finger in the Air' Publication Strategies is Almost Over
Somewhere in most organisations is a cupboard. Inside that cupboard is stack after stack of boxes. Inside those boxes are publications – brochures, annual reports, textbooks, manuals or the like – whose only purpose seems to be gathering dust. Sound familiar? It doesn’t have to be that way, says Iain Plunkett of on-demand specialist, The Garret.I once stood with a

Sometimes the changes in our career direction are so subtle and gradual that we fail to notice them. But the earlier you see that you’re headed in the wrong direction, the easier it is to get yourself back on course, or adjust course, if necessary.

All too often, unwary workers realize they’re on the wrong track after years of time and energy have been expended. Foresight and extreme self-honesty can go a long way to prevent failure and disappointment.

Here are some warning signs that your career may be off track:

1) You no longer feel a sense of passion and purpose about your career. What excited you ten years ago may not excite you now. Or it may be that you never have been excited about your career. You may have entered this career because it promised money or because it was expected of you.

2) What you do on a daily basis is motivated primarily by the avoidance of hassle. If you don’t keep up a minimum level of productivity, the boss will be upset. If you don’t work on certain reports, certain colleagues will miss their own deadlines. There is no intrinsic value to you in what you are doing.

3) You often find yourself fantasizing about doing something else. We all fantasize about better and more glamorous jobs, but if you frequently find yourself fantasizing about working in an entirely different field, it might merit exploration.

4) Your performance reviews are less than stellar. Perhaps you’re no longer included in key projects. Your coworkers seem to get all the kudos and you only get criticism, or worse, you’re ignored. Your boss doesn’t seem to like you. Your clients seem less than satisfied. Even worse, the above are occurring and you find you don’t really care.

5) When you envision yourself five or ten years into the future and imagine yourself in the same line of work, you’re depressed.

What to do?

It may just be a phase. We all become periodically disenchanted with our work. But it usually passes. Often a new project or a vacation is enough to light the fire again. If you think it’s just a phase, take positive action to bring the phase to an end as quickly as possible.

Building a Great Workplace for Low-Income Workers
Low-income workers face tough obstacles. From a reluctance by Congress to raise the federal minimum wage above the level that was set a decade ago to the fact that four out of 10 low-income parents below between 100 and 200 percent of the poverty level don't receive any kind of paid time off (according to the Urban Institute), it's no wonder trickle-effect issues, includi

Don't Get Caught Out By Tough Interview Questions
Most people dread job interviews. The very thought of one is enough to send them into a cold sweat. Most people see the job interview as an interrogation. In fact, job interviews are as much for your benefits as the company’s. The interview gives the company an opportunity to get to know you, and it gives you a chance to decide whether or not you want to work for them. kudos and you only get criticism, or worse, you’re ignored. Your boss doesn’t seem to like you. Your clients seem less than satisfied. Even worse, the above are occurring and you find you don’t really care.

Who's Got The Monkey Now? Part 2: How To Make Delegation Work For You
In my earlier article “Who’s Got The Monkey Now? How To Find Out How Well You Manage Your Time” (http://www.nationallearning.com.au/index_files/HowToMakePeopleFeelBetterAtWork.htm) , I suggested that you may be caring for a cageful of monkeys (other people’s problems) unless you are managing your time effectively, and in particular delegating.For managers, there a

ough to light the fire again. If you think it’s just a phase, take positive action to bring the phase to an end as quickly as possible.

And finally, be grateful that we live in a time and a culture when career changes are becoming accepted as the norm. Gone are the days when people were expected to adhere to the career decision they made when they were in high school. In fact, nowadays, career changes are seen as positive forces in our lives. They keep us fresh, engaged, and interested, which are three qualities we need to do a good job in whatever line of work we’re in.
