    Screen Printing Business-How To Start A Small Home Business Printing T-Shirts
    Have you thought about starting a screen printing business? It costs almost nothing to start a t-shirt printing business at home. I read about one guy who started a screen printing business with almost nothing. He made the frames with used lumber, and used fabric from an old wedding dress for the screens. He printed and sold signs. He also printed magnets (like what you see on car doors advertising a company), s

    Should You Advertise on TV?
    When people discover my background in advertising, the questions flow. One of the most frequent questions is "Should I advertise on TV?"I can't answer that questions until I ask a number of questions first.Do you have an advertising plan?Are you working on a firm budget?What are you trying to accomplish with your advertising?Where are you spending your money now?Usua
    There are a lot of business models out there for improving your management skills, but let me offer you one you’ve probably never tried. Find five dachshunds – the more misbehaved the better – and take them for a walk through your neighborhood. (Do get permission from the dachshunds' people first).

    I’ve had more than one occasion to try this technique. You see, I have two dachshunds of my own, one foster doxie, and I regularly help take care of a friend’s two during the day. So it’s a timesaver for me to walk all five at the same time rather than make two separate trips. Our main goals are a) no one gets tripped or squished and b) we return with the same number of people (one) and dogs (five) that we started with. So far, so good.

    I have definitely learned a few lessons that translate well to managing people in this process:

    • Everyone does things at their own rates of speed. You can try to slow down the speediest or speed up the lollygaggers, but you’ll just have an unhappy pack on your hands. Averages are good for statisticians but not for unique individuals.

    The Perils of Positive Thinking
    Something bothered me about the teeth of the consultant who was sitting in front of me, on the other side of the helpdesk. I couldn’t identify what it was immediately. I was at my bank’s foreign exchange division, hoping to get some advice on an upcoming business trip. As the positive and friendly consultant was talking, I suddenly realized what seemed out of place for me. Embedded in his front tooth was the ult

    Special Effects are Helping Label Manufacturers Stay in the Game
    It's been a difficult year for the label manufacturer. Price pressure has increased and margins have been under steady pressure. The consumer wants a bargain and labellers are under pressure to provide budget solutions in an ever more competitive marketplace. Naturally, this worms its way down the chain of supply and almost everyone in the self adhesive labels industry is feeling the pinch. At the same

    People Issues in Project Management
    Project managers are often assigned as proposal managers and asked to plan and put an estimate to arrive at an acceptable proposal during the project proposal stage; and upon winning the project to manage the projects with little or no authority, dictated time frames and deliverables, and essentially told to just get the project done! The reality to remember is that project executions rarely fail due to technica

    • There’s a time to stop and smell the roses (and the grass and the fire hydrants) and a time to haul butt and get out of the street. When a truck is barreling down on you, you’ve got to hightail it. When it’s a nice sunny day and your To-Do list is short, taking the time to breathe it all in could just rejuvenate you to the point where you start looking forward to getting back to work later.

    • The lead dog changes. Instead of thinking of one alpha dog and a bunch of followers, what is more likely is that different animals lead at different times. With the dachshunds, I have one leader at the beginning of the walk because he’s all “Go, go, go” energy. Of course, that energy peters out quickly and he is replaced by my “Was that a squirrel” dog who takes charge whenever there’s wildlife to be examined. And I even have a “Thank god, this walk is over” leader who always makes a sprint at the finish line. If you think of all your employees as leaders in their own right, you’ll be able to encourage and maximize their strengths.
