You might ask, "How are we doing this?" Others might silently exclaim, "Of all the nerve! Why would we want to train people to distort the truth and get away with lying? I would NEVER do that!" Really? Well then, read my take on a short-story classic (with apologies to Stephen Leacock).

Here is a little thing that I have worked out, which is superior to business games in that it combines their intense excitement with the practice of those skills needed for advancement in any industry or business.

It is easily comprehended, and can be played by anywhere from two to ten players, old or young. It requires no other apparatus other than an office of the ordinary type, seats for all players, and a few thousand pens, paper clips and pieces of paper.

The chief part of the game is taken by two players who station themselves, one at each end of a desk, and who adopt some distinctive costumes to indicate that they are "it." If only two people play, then each take a seat across a desk from each other. Player B (the person in the less powerful p

Nevada LLC Formation
Formation of an LLC in Nevada is definitely advantageous over LLC formation in other states in the US. The costs of forming an LLC in Nevada are low, and Nevada does not have any corporate income tax. One of the biggest reasons for the popularity behind the Nevada LLC is the fact that Nevada offers corporate directors and shareholders tremendous protection against personal liability.Forming an LLC in Nevada also requires the filing of several documents. You will need to file Articles of Organization or Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State. The secretary uses these articles to create the LLC. It is advisable that, before forming an LLC in Nevada, organizations thoroughly read the operating agreement and bylaws. This document provides the detailed information on forming the LLC.The prospective applicants of the LLC should also obtain an Employer Identification Number/ Federal Tax ID, if

Marketing Masturbation: Branding Not to Win
There is a single fundamental truth in branding that is true regardless of industry, company, or product: IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL, YOU MUST BE WILLING TO WIN. This may sound ridiculous to say but, there are many occasions when we come across brands where the brand managers, VP’s of Marketing, CEO’s, and even members of the Board of Directors are more attached to their own preconceived notions and ideas about what they think the brand should be than in winning. Their hidden desire often times, is to hire a strategic branding and wanting them to say that they are doing everything correct. The great Vince Lombardi once said, “Winning isn’t everything, but the will to win is everything.” Meaning, if a company, team, or individual does not have the will to win, they will never be able to win.Marketing MasturbationMarketing masturbation is the practice of companies marketing and bra

When It Comes To Print Advertising, Outsmart the Big Spenders
Are you competing with a company that has much bigger advertising budget then you do? Do you frequently pick up newspapers, publication or trade magazine and see their advertising staring back at you? Anyone with a big advertising budget can spend lot money to buy a lot of ink.The good news is you can strategically invest small amounts of money to generate much more effective ads that immediately drive paying customers into your front door.Many of your competitors want to have their ads appear on specific pages throughout the year. As a result they reserve print ad space well in advance of the actually publication dates. Better yet, they reserves these pages based on advertising dollars they submitted in advertising budgets to their bosses. Late last year. Thankfully bosses love nothing better then to cut advertising budgets once, twice, even three times each year. They just can’t help themselves-

Online Job Applicant Beware
Here are a few of the perils of Internet job searching: e-mail harvesters, affiliate hunters, identity thieves, money launderers, crooks looking for mules, and traffickers in stolen goods.And these are just some of the scams I've come across this year.There are thousands of these job scams online; that's the bad new. The good news is that there are thousands of legitimate jobs online too. The art is in distinguishing between the two -- and yes, it is an art -- and yes, it is possible. But it takes some work.I own an online job service, so I see online jobs every day of the year, and I see a definite trend. The scammers are getting better at scamming.First I'll explain the "tricks" of e-mail harvesters. They sit at their expensive computers and make up non-existent jobs. They are highly creative and write job descriptions that could fool a mother with sixth sense; then they post the jo

ief part of the game is taken by two players who station themselves, one at each end of a desk, and who adopt some distinctive costumes to indicate that they are "it." If only two people play, then each take a seat across a desk from each other. Player B (the person in the less powerful position) sits opposite Player A (the person in the more powerful position). When more than two people play, Player A faces the door and leads a team. The person in the less powerful position (sitting back to the door in a lower chair on the visitor side of the desk) does not lead a team. Other players occupy a place on the same side of the desk or in as near proximity as possible to their team leader (Player A).

The object of Player A is to trick Player B into telling the truth about himself without exaggeration. If Player B is able to answer all of Player A's questions with exaggeration, then Player A must pay philopena (or forfeit) No. 1, the offer of employment. However, should Player A trick Player B into telling the truth without exaggeration, then Player B must pay Player A philopena No. 2, being thrown out of the office by the neck. Any player who escapes paying the philopena scores one except in the situation where Player B, asked by Player A what he needs to improve, when answering not only does not exaggerate his good points but fails to turn a negative into a positive. In that case, Player A scores two points.
