Atricle Dump - The Thick Line Between Buddy and Boss
Year End To-Do'sThe holidays are in full swing and the end of yet another year is fast approaching. It's typically such a busy time for everyone. Many are focused on finishing the year strong, while others are preparing to back things down a bit and enjoy some time off. Some say that business really slows down these last few weeks of the year so it's a good time to clean up the office and what-not.Why not take advantage of what the season offers to set your business up for an even better year than the one you just had? Here are three things on my end of the year to-do list: Planning, Networking, and Giving Thanks.

Businesses that depend upon advertising should do everything possible to make sure they are spending their dollars wisely. But as we all know, this is easier said than done. How can we attract attention, develop a powerful message, and effectively persuade our audience? How can we lead them to believe that using our services or products is the logical decision? How can we make our message stand out in a world of constant commercial bombardment?Enter Public Relations, an important yet often ignored tool of marketing. When it’s used in conjunction with paid advertising it can mean big bucks for companies of all sizes.While effective public relations efforts have proven their effectiveness since the on-set of business, early efforts were not integrated into advertising efforts

Are you a starting entrepreneur? Is it your first month of operation?I can hear your knees knocking. Do you wonder whether you can hold your own against the giants that dominate your chosen industry. The entrenched enemy tend to have vast resources, a strong marketing machinery and of course, a powerful brand presence.How can one compete against that?It's easy: with a little bit of entrepreural guerrilla skirmishing. Microsoft did it. Gateway did it. IBM did it. Do you think these companies started out big? Of course not. Microsoft started out from Bill Gate's backyard.You can be a Bill Gates.

The United States average jobless rate is 4.5 percent; 3.5 percent is typically considered full employment. Twenty-six states are now below the national average and the pinch is on.Employers are having a tough time filling positions at all, so getting highly qualified help is a luxury. The competition is fierce for the best candidates. Companies need to be creative and aggressive to create positive conditions to attract the right people for their open positions.Attracting the Right EmployeeSmall businesses must evaluate what job candidates are seeking in an employer. Drastic changes may need to be made to attract high-quality employees. Many of America’s 5.7 million small emp
One of the more unpleasant things I've had to do is fire a good friend who was not doing the job I hired him to do. He needed a job, I needed an employee, so I thought I would give him a shot. It turned out to be a match made in business hell.

Because of our friendship I defended his actions to my other employees, but after a few weeks I knew I had to show him the door. We're still friends, but certainly not like we were before.
