Atricle Dump - Expect Nothing, Stay Happy
There are two types of people who own their own businesses or professional practices. Those who work in their business, and those who work on their business.Here is the abbreviated version of what these ideas mean: working “in” your business means to treat it as a job. Day to day activities that fall under the very important category of “minding the store,” but never looking beyond the business-as-a-job mindset.In contrast, working “on” your business means to treat it as an appreciating asset. To intelligently market and grow your business so that you leverage not only your own efforts but you also leverage the efforts of your employees and your marketing.Not sure which category you fit into? Here’s the test: Will your business die when you die, or will you be able to pass it along or will your family be able to sell it as an asset? If it is not an asset that appreciates in value, you have been working “in” your business.Clearly, “minding the store” is important, but those types of activities can never be the top priority. The top priority of any business, the most important

Freelancing brings unmatched flexibility and in fact this is one of the most popular reasons for becoming a freelancer. Flexible working hours allows the freelancer to tailor his/her work around their life style and growing responsibilities. Another plus is that you only get paid for how long you work – overtime is actually paid! Furthermore, if you like to set your own holiday and travel time, freelance allows you the option to go on holiday two weeks, or two months – depending on your financial/business needs.Freelance work is also an excellent way to earn quick money and a good amount of it. Generally, freelance workers earn more money at an hourly rate than their permanent counterparts. Because the recruitment process for freelance is much shorter then for permanent roles, speedy turnaround allows individuals to get in and out of a project quickly and still receive a good income from it.Career Variety For those individuals who like variety in the workplace, a career as a freelancer enables professionals to work on a wide range of projects for some of the leading firms in the country.

And also patience..
Patience in waiting for those sales to fly in.
Hoping that you do not get so frustrated that you close up shop and never venture online again.
We all go through this every now and then. The frustration sets in and you just don't know what to do.
We all learn through various methods how to get started online but there are a few things that people don't teach you.
Normally when you look at other ways to make a profit, the first thing most people do is to go to those sites and publishers who they believe can steer them in the right direction.
But then you start to see certain sales tactics that you become hip to and wonder why they do it in the first place.
Some are ethical and some are not. The legality is not the issue, but it does raise a few moral eyebrows.
Although I am sure it is billed as a good sales tool, what I get tired of seeing sometimes are the ezines that start out by giving you a good speech about changing your life and making money and to not fall for the hype, and it all ends with a link to some new ebook or a new private site.
As if that is supposed to be the answer to all your business and financial problems.

Smart buyers will always ask for a better price. Unfortunately, too many sales people and business owners automatically think that reducing their price is the most effective way to respond to this request.However, negotiating is not always about price. Although price is a factor in virtually every sale it is not usually the primary or motivating factor. Everything you say and do from the first contact with a prospect affects the value of your product or service in their mind. That’s why I believe it is important to look at the negotiating process differently in order to achieve better results.First of all, invest time gathering information about your prospective customer, his needs, situation, and buying motives. The more information you have the more prepared you will be to negotiate later in the sales process. Regardless of what you sell, and to whom, information will help you negotiate more effectively. Many of my clients tell me that their customers care only about price, but upon further exploration, other issues usually arise. Uncovering the key issues your customer is facing is critical to your negotiat

Managers make three mistakes when they try to run businesses. They do too much, they don't trust their people and they don't have enough skills. Here we explore an easy 3-step process to get your business back on track and get a life. Managers work in increasingly challenging circumstances and workload seems to ever increase. There are opportunities to use the capabilities of each and every one of those who work with them. Yet many managers struggle on, carrying the burden until finally, that straw comes along which breaks the camel's (aka manager's) back.So what happens? Well, managers choose not to give tasks away, for several reasons.The manager may feel obliged to do most of the work - after all, that's what he believes he's getting paid for.There is a knowledge gap.He may not wish to let go of some workload because his role would then be 'let go', so makes himself look very busy and thus indispensable.There is a confidence gap.The manager doesn't have the skills to work closely in collaboration with hi

It's been said that the antidote to liking/loving is not hating, but indifference. So, when an ad makes you angry or disgusted or evokes any other strong emotion, it has done it's job. That is what advertising is supposed to do! Isn't it?There is an advertisement currently running on T.V. that makes me so disgusted that I spent quite a few minutes last night discussing it with my sister,The ad is for a well known brand of toothpaste that is being recommended for people with sensitive teeth. Nothing wrong so far. There are plenty of people with sensitive teeth and I have no personal knowledge of the truthfullness of the claims made by the manufacturer.My objection is to the presentation of this product. There is a beautiful women, dressed only in camisole and under wear parading around as she touts the benefits of using this product. There is nothing wrong with that either. But what is the connection? Do you have to be beautiful, female and barely dressed to benefit from this toothpaste?I am sure the manufacturer would not want to limit his market to that niche only. What a waste o

Do you ever feel like everybody is speaking in a different language and you have no idea what about? Remember the time when your super-smart colleague tried to make conversation with you? You could do nothing more than stare blankly at her before making a beeline for the restroom because you had no idea what she was talking about.We all have our bad days when we feel left out from the conversation because we have not been keeping up with all the things happening in the world. Well, thanks to the rise of the World Wide Web, even if you find yourself lagging behind in information pertaining to some department, you can always catch up without too much effort. How so? Well, you could try looking up some news & information archives.Earlier, you had to visit the news & information archives that were run by the government, and these were not always the easiest of places to move around in. But thanks to the rise of archives on the Internet, all you need to do is punch in a couple of keys and watch yourself face to face with a long list of news & information archives. Not only do the news & information archives on the

Oh I see what you want. Sucker me into thinking you really have the fix for a great business online when you are just trying to sell an ebook or a course.
Now of course one of the main goals in a free ezine is to hopefully generate an income through advertising and other forms of back end sales
But at what cost.
I grow tired of some people telling me this is THE book for you when last month you were telling me about another book that was THE ONE.
Remember of course the one has to be an ebook priced at least $90 so they can get a great commission from it.
No one says you are not supposed to sell ebooks, I have sold enough in my days, but it is just the way you present yourself.
I know that there are marketing methods out there that I have not even begun to understand but I understand common sense and that alone knocks out a lot of the so called marketing methods.
I know from a stand point, anyone who has been online for less than 2 years is a Newbie and they prey on this.
I don't like that method, thinking we are too stupid to figure out the basics.
Now I do feel that you should learn the basics of human behavior to understand the psychology of why people buy and what helps them to buy. People do buy on emotions and it just depends on how bad you want to play on that factor.
