Are you your own worst enemy when trying to do your job?Is your career on shaky ground and you’re wondering if it’s your fault?Do you find yourself wondering, once again, if you’ll be fired?If you’re asking these questions, then you might be sabotaging yourself and not even know it!Do yourself a favor and probe deeper to discover how you might be adding to your lack of success.Here is a sampling of the markers of self-sabotage:
1. Have an Event Marketing PlanCreate an event marketing plan that clearly defines your goals, budget and internal and external resources. The plan should be mapped out as specific as possible, but keep an open mind throughout the planning process. If you see that something is working better then other marketing initiatives, adjust your plan according…and vice versa.2. Brand Your Meeting or EventBranding your meeting or event with a l
On March 18, 2005, President Bush stood before a group of Florida voters to tout his social security plan. He did something quite ordinary during his speech. He acknowledged a person in the audience and told her story.
President Bush told the crowd he had recently spoken with a local resident named Anna Brooks, a widowed grandmother, who would benefit from the type of social security personal account he was proposing.
We’ve all become accustomed to politicians pointing to people in the crowd and telling their stories, but why do they do it?
WHAT THE PRESIDENT UNDERSTANDS
Pay close attention to a key phrase used in the Anna Brooks anecdote – “social security personal account.” What do you picture when you hear that phrase?
Odds are, probably not much. It’s an abstract concept that’s tough to visualize and get passionate about.
What President Bush understands – as do most working politicians – is that abstract concepts have to be brought to life through real people. The story he told about Anna Brooks was about a woman suffering to make ends meet because her husband died at a young age. If only there were social security personal accounts, Mr. Bush argued, her financial suf
A business card is one of the most important marketing pieces that you’ll develop for your company, since it is typically the first piece of your marketing materials that a new client will see.One of the most debated points in business card design is whether to print information on just one side of the card or to use both sides. There are many views on this controversy, and here are some that we frequently hear.The arguments for keeping the back o

Employee benefits are essential for the development of corporate industrial relations. According to Herzberg’s two-factor theory (motivation and hygiene), an employee benefit programme is a necessary and sufficient working condition. The hygiene factor will affect employees’ work motivation and thus productivity.In the stimulus-response behaviour, employees’ work-motivation, seen as the response, can be analysed from absence rate, leave rate, quit rate, get-to-w

If you own a mobile car washing or mobile auto detailing business then may I suggest to you finding new clientele in the car rental agency business? Why do I recommend this? Well personally having been in the fleet car and truck washing business for almost 3 decades it has served me well cleaning for rental car agencies.

While ERP software is generally thought of as an enterprise wide application, one overlooked use of this type of software is to provide a specific solution for a specific business function. In this article I will explain how SAP software (which is usually implemented enterprise wide) can be used to automate your company's accounting function.Over the years Accounting has become more sophisticated. It's no longer a question of 'debit the receiver and credit giv
As he told that story, people in the audience nodded their heads in agreement. Yes, they all seemed to think, Ms. Brooks’ burden should be lifted, and, well, if personal accounts would help, they seemed like a terrific idea.
Imagine instead if the President made a more academic case filled with statistics and data. Do you think he would have elicited the same emotional reaction from the crowd? Would they have nodded their heads with the same enthusiasm?
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU
Journalists are storytellers by trade and need drama to bring a story to life. Abstract concepts – be they social security personal accounts, medical liability reform or climate change – need to be brought to life through an anecdote.
Instead of just talking about the scientific effects of climate change on our biosphere, talk about the South Pacific fisherman who can no longer feed his family because the fish catch has declined due to global warming.
