It is so easy to fall for their sales pitches. I know, even after creating my site I still find some of the sites tempting. But then, after listening to their lies you did the unthinkable and paid money for their service . . . and ended up with a bunch of nothing.You're mad, now it's time to get even. No, I don't suggest you bomb the company. I suggest you put them out of business legally. There are lots agencies out there that are designed to do it for you. Contact every single one of them. Use your anger to fuel your fire. You'll find some s
Perhaps the most common and best reason for a meeting though is to solve a problem. A meeting is a great place to do this – you get a variety of people with a variety of experiences, knowledge and perspectives together to ensure that the best possible solution is identified and that all of the important considerations have been taken into account.
The problem is, that while the venue and the people might be correct, often the process is flawed. It is flawed because one question hasn’t clearly been asked and answered.
The Typical Situation
Have you ever been in a meeting where 20 minutes (or an hour or more) into the discussion of the problem, people start to realize that they aren’t all working on exactly the same problem, or are already assuming certain solutions? Most people I have asked this question of over the years have nodded in the affirmative. It is that this moment that a meeting must stop - and clarification must begin.

The other day while at the book store, I came across some accounting software CDs strewn with other CDs and books in garage sale box.How can any self respecting businessman (even a small one at that) pick up a copy of this cheap sale accounting CD from the box for his business to use? He'd think "what type of accounting system is this that would end up in a garage sale?"...and he's not even heard of free software yet! If he did, he'd probably figure "What type of software is this that you can just click and get it for free on the Internet?" meeting though is to solve a problem.

Last night a good friend of mine said the following: “Dave, some people may feel that they are entrepreneurs but when they read about people saying that you are either born an entrepreneur or you aren’t, they automatically discount themselves from entrepreneurship and begin to feel that entrepreneurship isn’t for them because they don’t feel that they are natural born leaders; which is something that all entrepreneurs must possess.”After some debating and discussing this issue with my friend, I started to agree with her that there must be a la

The Problem Solving Question
That question is: “What is the problem?”
It seems so simple. I mean, why would anyone ever start problem solving without truly knowing what the problem is? People don’t do it on purpose, of course, they do it because:
- The problem is clear in their mind (or at least they think so).
- They assume everyone knows the problem exists.
- They assume everyone agrees that it is, in fact, a problem.
Unfortunately these reasons prevail too often.
So, what is the problem?
Getting a group agreement and understanding of the problem is one of best things you can do to improve the speed and effectiveness of group problem solving. But how do you do it?
The Problem Statement
You do it with a clear concise, well written problem statement.
A problem statement succinctly defines what the problem is. It is written to produce clarity of thought and to reduce the assumptions people make regarding the problem. At least as important as these reasons, a good problem statement keeps us from assuming a solution, before we even state the problem.
In academic circles, problem statements are often long (one or more pages), detailed (complete with lots of data and statistics) narratives. This is not what we
