    Personal Branding
    There are thousands of Mary Kay consultants. There are thousands of Tahitian Noni Consultants, Candle Consultants, Pre-Paid legal, Primerica, travel consultants and not to mention internet based business owners. So where in this seemingly overwhelming sea of business owners is little ole you? What’s so different about your product or service that would make me want to be your customer versus the next person with the identical product or service?You know the first excuse I hear from MLM and Direct Sales consultants when they don’t see success in their business is that their area is already saturated with Mary Kay, Pre-Paid legal or that the internet gurus have already captured and now monopolize the best lists… Oh yes! I could go on and on. I submit to you t

    The reality is that it's not really possible to control your own destiny with a job. Even the most important CEO's must answer to the Board of Directors. In more traditional circumstances, when and where you travel, when you get promoted, how much you earn, and how long you keep your job are items that are simply not in your control. The boss, and his boss, and her boss, control those things. As we have seen, bosses change, as do Boards, and status quo is sent for a topsy-turvy spin. When, and if, those things happen, are generall

    Does A Franchise Meet Your Needs?

    When you think of becoming a businessperson by making the transition from employee to Franchisee, you don't generally think in terms of emotional fulfillment. However, in reality, the evaluation of emotional factors should play a significant role in making that final decision to join the world of the capitalist, or remain in the realm of employee.

    Of course, every analysis should include the standard of comparing risk to return. It should include income projections, and cash flows. It should include the analysis of financing avenues, site selection alternatives, and many other objective criteria to lead to a final decision about becoming an entrepreneur. The course of due diligence should be driven by a systematic approach to each of these items.

    However, in the end, assuming the objective criteria have been ticked off your list in a satisfactory fashion, it should boil down to emotional fulfillment. After all, we all have a right to be happy. That particular statement "we all have a right to be happy" has changed the course of my life on several occasions. It was one of those statements that was passed casually by an acquaintance over dinner one evening, and ignored by everyone at the table, except it hit me right in the heart. It stuck to me like red on a stop sign. As a result, I have made many important life decisions based on emotional criteria, in addition to objective criteria. If it doesn't pass muster on both fronts then I look for a better course.

    There are many employment situations that can meet your emotional needs, wants and desires. Of course, there are also many that do not, and cannot. A full examination of emotional criteria should include the analysis of several items, with the ultimate goal of determining whether your needs can be met by a job, or whether it is more likely they can be met by your own business.

    Control Your Own Destiny

    The degree of priority that this particular criterion holds for an individual is probably the single most important factor to consider before making the decision to strike out on your own. Just how important is it that you control day-to-day decisions about what you do, and where you do it. How important is it to you to know that you have ultimate control over whether you stay or whether you go at some point.

    Businesses Should Volunteer in the Community
    All businesses should volunteer to help out in the community especially to help youth organizations. But what happens when you help a youth organization like the Boy Scouts and find that it is not politically correct? What happens when the Gay and Lesbian Community or a fringe within their community threatens to boycott your company?The episode described above happened to my company and it has long past. Believe me I can hold my own, no worries, really good at what I do and very strategic in marketing, but it is troubling to be put in that situation. I was asked once when I mentioned this was: “What is the Gay Fringe is doing to you!”Well they made it sound like I am afraid, worried or some such non-sense, no way. A little pissed off indeed back then, but

    Bartering - A Great Way to Trade
    Before you hit the back button thinking bartering went out of fashion when money came along. Think again. Bartering has not only thrived all this while, it has made a come back in the business world in a big way. If the International Reciprocal Trade Association is any indication, bartering today is a whopping six-billion-dollar business-to-business success story worldwide. And it is expected to grow by more than ten percent annually.Bartering down the agesDictionary defines bartering as the ‘exchange of goods and services without monetary transaction'. It is simply an exchange of goods between two parties, who need something from each other. This mutual give and take has been practiced since antiquity, but has had its share of problems too.

    Church Signs and Outdoor Church Signs
    Church signs have been known to stop people on the side of the road to ask what they are. Outdoor church signs are mostly known for being right outside of the church with the thought of using it to attract new people to the church. Church signs are interesting because no one really knows if they are effective or not. The other question is whether outdoor church signs should be used at all, especially for the purpose of getting more people to come to the church. There are many different options for producing outdoor church signs; you simply must make up your mind what kind you would like.The first question of the appropriateness of church signs must be answered. Outdoor church signs are not bad in themselves, but you must think about the motive behind the sign. C

    Graphic Designer Portfolios
    Getting a job as a graphic designer not only requires a good interview with the employer, but also a great portfolio. Your graphic designer portfolio makes you shine, so assemble a portfolio that represents your unique talent to increase your options and latch onto every opportunity.Cleanliness is very much required in the graphic designer portfolio. The pieces in your portfolio shouldn’t be dog-eared, torn or scuffed, nor should the portfolio case be dirty. Keep only ten to twelve pieces in your graphic designer portfolio. If you are interviewed for a particular job, place more designs pertaining to that job in the portfolio. Add some other designs so that the employer knows that you are capable of more than one form of graphic designing. Place your best pieces

When, and if, those things happen, are generally not in the control of an employee.

    As we have seen in recent years, decades really, right-sizing, down-sizing, out-sourcing, and severance packages are the norm of the employment world. The importance of these items, including the degree of control you require over them, should help guide you to your own comfort zone. In addition to a systematic approach to the objective items in making a decision to become an entrepreneur on your own, or to become a Franchisee in a good system, these emotional factors should be ticked off the list as well. Are you satisfied where you are? Can you achieve your goals and dreams in your current situation? Are you more likely to satisfy the need to control your results with your own business? How important is each criteria to you?

    Did you have to travel over your son's birthday? Did you have an expense disallowed unfairly? Is the likelihood high or low of the bronze (as opposed to golden) parachute at age 53, with a low chance of a comparable position in the job market? Did you get passed over for a promotion, did you have to work overtime through the Christmas holidays, did you miss your daughter's volleyball tournament because you couldn't get off early on Friday? If these things eat at you, perhaps a change in course is due. If you accept that these things go with the territory of employment, then change may not be necessary.

    Of course, as you progress up the ladder of promotion, you gain some additional autonomy for these types of issues. However, you must also try to determine if that next rung also carries an additional risk of termination at some point.

    On the other hand, will being in the business you are evaluating help solve the problems that are important to you? Will your business cause the same travel issues? Will the time demands, or strange hours of being a businessperson, be an advantage or disadvantage?

    Evaluate these items honestly, and with as much empirical evidence as you can gather, along with the other control issues that matter to you. Then determine which situation meets your goals more appropriately. And determine how important that is to you. Then it's time to move on to the next evaluation criteria.

    If you always use the "I deserve to be happy" test with each criterion, and try to determine whic
