10 Crucial Exit Strategies Leading to a Successful Sale of Your Business
Five years after helping a client to sell his business, I received my final check and placed a call to the person who represented the buyer. In discussing the history of the transaction and tying up loose ends, we came to the conclusion that a sale isn’t complete until you have survived the negotiations and the closing, cashed the final check, confirmed that the statute of limitations has run out for all contingencies and verified that the new owner(s) are happily making money.Good deals don’t just happen. They take preparation and work. Oft

Why, exactly, do you want to go into business for yourself?

Is it because you cannot stand the thought of working for an uptight, demanding, and perfectly dreadful boss?
Is it because you cannot bear the thought of going through another downsizing or restructuring, knowing that your job could be on the line?
Is it because you want to be your own boss, call your own shots, or see more up side in your earning potential, with the possibility of financial self-sufficiency?

These are all good reasons for wanting to go into business. In fact, studies have shown that many entrepreneurs get their start due to some life-altering experience such as losing a job or finally walking away from a dead-end job or a demoralizing work environment.

It is amazing how creative, resourceful, and innovative you can be when, finally, you reach the edge and find yourself in a survival situation professionally. In times like this, the entrepreneurial spirit comes alive and you figure out that you can simply do it on your own.

Does dissatisfaction alone in some area of your life constitute reason enough to venture into business and the life of entrepreneurship? Many potential entrepreneurs get to this bridge and never cross because they do not know how to discover and unleash the entrepreneur within himself or herself.

Many people resist giving credence to their entrepreneurial tendencies no matter what the circumstances, ignoring the potential for self-expression, independence and the fulfillment of their dreams. Herein resides the real tragedy. Many people experience paralysis from fear of the unknown and fear of failure. Consequently, they never pursue entrepreneurship and the pot

Efficiency in Disclosure, Cost Effective FTC Regulations?
Recently in a report by the Federal Trade Commission they listed as one of the reasons to pro-over disclosure policy was the cost effectiveness of the franchise rule. Citing that it saved franchisors and franchisees money to do it that way. How can the FTC in good faith write the words “Cost-Effective” describing Disclosure laws in any industry, including franchising. There is nothing Cost-Effective about the current disclosure laws.All the costs of over disclosure are past onto the consumer and therefore hurt consumers, not help them. All th

5 Ways To Delegate Without A Payroll
Assign Tasks to KidsDo not underestimate the potential of your kids. Kids can handle some task that you do not have time to do: filing, recording messages, paper shredding documents, etc. My 15 year old daughter is responsible for inputting information from business cards that I collect from meetings, into my contact management system, proof reading documents, filing, typing and other small administrative task. She loves it and it gives her great employability skills and inclusion in my business. It is a great way for kids to receive

Your Business Card as a Strategic Marketing Tool
While every business has, or should have a business card, often it is neglected as a part of an overall strategy. If you take the time to devise even a simple marketing, public relations, or sales strategy, your business card should be an integral part of your plan. Location! Location! Location! If you sell product, consider including your card with the product when it is delivered to your customer. Same goes for services. For example, if you are an auto mechanic, consider slipping your business card in your customer

Seven Pricing Pointers
Find the right figure to make the highest profits. 1. Don’t shy away from charging a fair price for your offerings—you deserve to be rewarded for your time, talent, risk and investment. 2. Keep your price within the range of what customers are willing to pay. 3. Remember that prices for the same products and services vary dramatically by geographic location. Remember the end user manuals for buyers and sellers. Some students with reprint rights sell them for $50 and others for $100. It all depends on the area of the country th

Although entrepreneurship appears to offer many advantages for personal and professional growth and accomplishment, why is it that so many new entrepreneurs fail? In fact, studies have shown us that out of every 100 entrepreneurs who start their own businesses, 14 will succeed and a whopping 86 will fail in the first five years. The odds, so to speak, are stacked against you as a nascent entrepreneur. Therefore, if you are contemplating starting your own business you should take it very seriously.

The two biggest reasons people fail in a new business are:

they don't know what they are doing, and
their business is undercapitalized.

When we say they don't know what they are doing, we mean they literally don't know what they are doing in terms of running a business day in and day out. It also makes perfect sense that a new business might be undercapitalized (not having enough working capital to run the business). In fact, many new entrepreneurs, who don't know what they are doing have a hard time finding either equity or debt capital for the reason that lending institutions and savvy investors typically do not like to give money to people who don't know what they are doing in business.

In order to improve your chances of beating the odds, what is important is that you educate you

A brief look at the players in the national and international background check market, and comparison ranking.

As the business world becomes more impersonal, with automated phone trees and a dizzying amount of online tools, the bond between company and constituent becomes less personal. Increasingly, organizations are utilizing face-to-face meetings to unite with key audiences, communicate their messages and make an impact.

Being at university is no easy picnic for the majority of students. Okay, so it may look on the surface that they are just a bunch of scruffy layabouts that do nothing but feed off pizzas, sleep all day, and party all night, but I think we need to give the majority of our well-read rebels a bit of slack here.
