    What is Your Heart's Desire?
    I used to believe in scarcity. All I wanted to do was to have freedom for writing and expressing my soul, find the way to support my dream and make my dream come true.Life is not all about making money but it does make life more comfortable.What is Your Heart?s Desire? Would you like to stay at home and paint? Would you like to take long walks in the nature and then go swimming in the clear lake? Would you like to go fly-fishing? Would you like to go on the safari? Would you like to pamper yourself in the spa?I was raised up in the religious family with twelve siblings and learned to believe in scarcity. I wanted to find abundance which is not only material wealth but also abundance in all area of life.It is creativity.

    A study (Baxt WG, Waeckerle JF, Berlin JA, Callaham ML. Who reviews the reviewers? Feasibility of using a fictitious manuscript to evaluate peer reviewer performance. Ann Emerg Med. 1998 Sep;32(3 Pt 1):310-7) introduced 10 major and 13 minor errors in a fictitious scientific manuscript.

    Excellent customer service is imperative in the marketplace today. As a home based business owner you should know the importance of getting and keeping a happy customer. It is the life blood of every business. Many business owners work so hard to get the customer and then blow it by not offering first class service.

    Small businesses can quite often offer better customer service then most big companies for many reasons. Usually it is easier to add personal touches, keep overhead low, have quicker response time and enhance the customer's experience from start to finish. Each customer's purchase can be seen almost immediately on the books. Small business owners can take advantage of the close (sometimes one on one) relationship they have with their customers.

    Many of us can share our stories of a bad customer service experience. In fact a bad customer experience is told to more people then a good customer service story.

It is as simple as treating people the way you want to be treated and then surprising them with the extra effort. Keep it consist! Everyone loves consistency. Look at the burger chains as an example.

    Resistance to Change and How to Deal With It
    The new financial management system was installed, new procedures distributed and office staff trained. And yet, the number of accounting errors had increased. Does this sound familiar? Sometimes the best laid plans of mice and managers come to naught – or worse still, sends progress backwards. Even if it isn’t obvious, perhaps your people are resisting the change.Why People Resist ChangeNo matter how well designed and planned your change program is, not everyone will be singing its praises. People resist change for a wide variety of reasons, ranging from a straightforward intellectual disagreement over facts to deep-seated psychological prejudices.Some of these reasons may include:belief that the change initiative is a tempo

    The Value of FREE in Internet Business
    Do You Get What You Pay For? I have heard the saying "You get what you pay for," but I don't think that theory applies to Internet Marketing. Yes, there is tons of free advertising available on the net and there are millions of people using free advertising to promote their businesses, but is it effective? I think when you try to judge the effectiveness of Free Online Advertising, you have to take into consideration all that you can get for free.Placing Free Ads - For one thing, placing free ads will help you learn whether or not marketing online is for you at all; if you hate promoting your offer and placing ads, find other work.- Placing free ads can teach you about writing ad copy; if you can't write copy that gets someone's attention on a f

    Image is Everything
    Your reputation precedes you. Like it or not, consumers choose whether or not to use your service based on how you're viewed in the market. Your name or logo will influence when and if consumers use your service. Building credibility with your target will help you in the long run. It will also polish up your image for all to see.Brand image is the physical and psychological reaction your brand receives when it is viewed or talked about. It can be brought up from seeing a logo or simply by two people having a conversation. It is also impacted by where they see your brand and how they perceive what it is you’re selling. When customers purchase a product, they're not just buying that product; they're buying the image that comes with that product. Users can associate wit

    Career Choices; Are Franchisors Deceptive in Selling Franchises?
    Most of us at one time or another have considered starting a business of our own and perhaps considered one of the 3,000 franchises available in the United States. Many say that franchisors are deceptive in their offerings yet as a Board of Director Member of the American Franchisee and Dealers Association, I never found this to be the case. Sure there were cases where a salesman may have over sold a unit, but this was certainly not the franchisors policies.After all a Franchise is like a marriage and starting out on the wrong foot like that makes no sense at all. In studying this over the years I had discovered that the average franchisee who has filed a complaint with the government is 75% at fault and lied in those complaints at least once 85% of the time.

    * concerned for safety

    * delivery options

    * internet access to your business and service such as emails

    Add all the above together and you have Excellent Customer Service!

    Some quick tips:

    Always answer your phone. Today it is so easy to send people to voice mail. Implement a system that can have the customer hold (for a very short time) or one that will get their phone number and call back immediately when you are off the line. You will lose numerous customers if they can not speak to someone live. I personally won't leave a message on the first phone call. There are numerous call centers that can handle your call with a live person while you are busy. Many times a live person can convert a looker into a customer. If you have an internet business you may want to have live chat and an 800 number. Excellent customer service begins with the first contact.

    Do not promise more than you can deliver. Nothing hurts a customer more then when they do not get what was promised when it was promised. If you can not do something say so. The customer will respect you for an honest answer.

    Offer as much help as possible. There may not be any immediate money in it but the satisfaction of helping shines through. That customer may be testing you to see if they can trust you and your company. Offering as much help as possible also will strengthen your bond with that potential customer. They may not purc
