The Average Day of a Successful Entrepreneur
I was having a conversation with fellow speaker Ari Galper of Unlock the Game at a recent event we spoke at. We were talking about how copy is in absolutely EVERY aspect of your marketing. A lot of people think copy is something they will get to eventually. Or they will hire someone to do it for them. But Ari put it in a way that I really had not thought of before. He said, “We are ALL in the publishing business. You should share with your list what an average day is like for you and how important writing is on every level.” Okay, Ari. Good idea. Here i

Negotiate Better Job Offers with This Twelve-Point Checklist
You’ve been through an employer’s interview process successfully and have now been extended a job offer. And you think the offer could be better. If that’s the case, read on to find out cutting-edge strategies that’ll help you negotiate a better deal.1. There’s no need to accept the offer on the spot.

Come from a position of strength and confidence.2. Be clear o

How many of us know managers who proudly proclaim their open-door policy? Although I have no scientific evidence, I believe that those who claim most loudly that they have an open-door policy have employees who use it the least.

The little white truth is … to have an open door policy means information must flow freely out of that open door before information can flow into that open door.

The leader who wants to have open dialogue with his employees needs to view sharing information as an opportunity rather than a burden.

What Image Does A Good Brand Name Have On Customers?
Almost everything these days is available in a branded version. There are cola brands, electronics brands, clothing brands, car brands – in fact schools and educational institutions are branding themselves and so are people. You will find that independent consultants in any field need to make a brand name out of themselves to succeed. An interesting example is a famous dog behavior psychologist who works for celebrities and is known only by his first name now in Hollywood, on Oprah, throughout the USA. Brands set themselves up to rival other brands in their segm

Your Business Identity
Customer Service Is No Longer EnoughToo many organizations today focus on the image they have as opposed to their identity. Most medium and large sized organizations have some type of customer service training program for all front line staff. This training usually focuses on service and escalation procedures, handling difficult customer situations, and how to keep a positive attitude and smile when working with customers. Some organizations have facilitated their staff’s mastery of these skills and procedures. You will spot these companies any

The Top Ten Reasons Why Size Matters When You're Considering Your Career
1. Work/life Balance. This is something both companies and employees are striving for. Employees want a life and companies want to avoid costly burnout that affects productivity and quality. Fortune’s 2005 “100 Best Companies to Work For” showcased how culture is key. Using criteria that included benefit programs, health care and paid time off, the 100 best were broken out between 37 large companies; 34 mid-sized companies and 29 small companies demonstrating that good things can come in all sizes.2.

The following steps will help develop a true open door policy.

1. Keep people well informed. Share appropriate information with everyone who could benefit from this knowledge. Executives love reports that deliver a scoreboard of how their responsibilities are performing. Why not share it with everyone involved? The more you can link your strategic priorities with the goals of everyone contributing to the success of those priorities, the better you create buy-in and dialogue by letting them know how performance relates to the strategic go

Attracting and retaining a high performing team is one of the biggest challenges many business owners face. There are a variety of reasons for this and one of the key factors is that the owner doesn't realise that there's much more involved in the process than just placing an ad and asking a few questions.

This fact is your biggest opportunity if you have the courage to look long and hard at your own business model and marketing strategy. Rest assured that most of your competitive set lacks the fortitude for such assessment - except, of course, the new market leader who rises to everyone’s surprise. Upsetting the apple cart is the recipe for success. Keeping to the old model is the recipe that the market leader hopes you salute in dead earnest.
