Dress to Get Hired
Dressing down, business casual and the like, which are sometimes described as benefits by companies, are not appropriate for job interviews. Many of the “rules” established nearly three decades ago in business literature still apply when it comes to interview attire. Whether what one wears to an interview should matter will not be debated here. Rather, it should be assumed by anyone interviewing for a job, whether a newly minted college graduate or a veteran to working world, proper attire still does matter for first impressions.For men, the interview outfit has changed little over the years. Suit: Traditional navy or gray two or three button. Only button the top for two button suits or only the middle button for three button suits. 100% wool is best. Make sure it is clean and pressed. Vest are not in style currently.Shirt: white or light blue cotton. Stra

Coaching
Coaching is a co-creative experience with the client and coach. They both adventure step-by-step uncovering new information and solutions. The coach creates a comfortable non-judgmental mirror to help the client see another perspective on their own situation. Some of the greatest personal achievers have and use coaches throughout their careers. The coach definitely encourages, and challenges the client to push through barriers but is careful not to define or evaluate for the client. This wonderful journey is for the client to experience.

Four Customer Service Principles To Put Into Action Today
Good customer service is indeed hard to find, much more to provide. It is one thing to want to provide good customer service to your customers and yet another thing to do it. Information sharing between the management and frontline staff, budget constraints and equipments needed to do the job makes providing good customer care harder than it seems.But with these simple and age-old tips, you can boost your customer care program without even shelling out a huge amount of cash. Moreover, these customer care tips are not dependent on extra equipments, software or any other things that will cost a lot of money.1) It is important to keep your promises. It is always easy to promise something to a customer just to make them stop harping on you on the phone. Moreover, promises do not cost anything so you can give out as many as you like. But making promises and brea

Consulting
Consulting taps into the expertise of the consultant’s experience. The client gains valuable insight that would normally take years and thousands sometimes millions of dollars if they were to go down the same path. Consultants usually charge a nominal fee compared to the information assets they have gained throughout the years. They have thoroughly studied the subject which entails thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours in information. They have met with industry leaders as well as “on the street” professionals so they have a good beat on what’s currently going on. They have a history even if just short history of the last cycle in the industry. Consultants may concentrate on techniques and raw resources they freely give as part of the sessions. Some consulting may only consist of one or two meetings, but if you’re taking notes they could make your next project a success.

Consultants do not give legal advice but may save you from needing it. Or they may suggest you seek it. Whereas your attorney should be cautious as to not give business advice (which happens all too often especially in real estate), your consultant has very little “power over your affairs” so conflicts are easily avoided. Seldom does a consultant run into a “conflict of interest” problem with their client but some align their resources to solve a problem. Consultants are used because it is not always black or white and they can help navigate through the grey and help you use an attorney to achieve your goals. Consultants are often the people who create turnkey packages together at a really good price. They tend to see the same mistakes and figure to come up with a product that helps thousands instead of one-on-one maybe a hundred or so.

My personal experience indicates my consulting is roughly 75% information, techniques, and resources. The other 25% is encouragement, reinforcement and follow-up.

Examples of Consulting Clients:
Example#1
A seasoned Los Angeles investor sought my help with a difficult situation with an apartment building in Hollywood, Ca. The old owner is meddling with his tenants. Client question: How do I resolve this issue?

Example#2
A large property management company needs to make more money off their tenants. More money for their managers and do this with little effort on their part without increasing their legal exposure. Client question: Is their a system, product or service that we can implement that can achieve our goals?

Example#3
A Los Angeles family has acquired several rental properties over the years. One in particular has been neglected and they want to know the best way they can get rid of it. Client Question: How do we sell the property smoothly?

Example#4
A Long Beach real estate investor loves her area. She has run a moderately successful advertising campaign but has hit a wall. After reviewing her customers she knows there is money to be made but now has limited funds to turn a profit. Client Question: Which direction should I go?

Example#5
An attorney has given up on a realtor who just can’t seem to get the job done on several rental properties in San Bernardino. These require management, light rehab and ultimately somehow turning a profit. Client Question: Can several properties in the desert be packaged to make money with little involvement and management?

Example#6
A Chicago investor has put a property under contract. He needs money and an exit strategy. There are some problems put he’s too busy to figure them out. He and his wife work full time, they own 2 other rental properties but time is ticking. Client question: Is this a good deal and what is the right exit strategy?

Example#7
The City of Los Angeles has a landmark building that they leased to the fiber optic industry. With the neighborhood changing the property could be used as a market or such. Client Question: Are their private investors with the ability to convert this landmark building into a useful private project for the community to add value?

Entrepreneurial Failure - Get Used to It
To be a successful entrepreneur you are going to have to learn to deal with failure. There is no way around it. Thomas Edison tried over ten thousand different experiments before he finally demonstrated the first incandescent light bulb on October 21, 1879. Bill Gates' first company, Traf-O-Data, was a failure. Michael Jordan was once quoted as saying: "I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot; And missed. I've failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."In my short stint as an entrepreneur I've failed more times than I can count. I have also had my share of success, but it’s not even close to equal. The failures far outweigh the successes, and I’m sure I have a lot more failure ahead of me. I’m OK with that because I know that as soon as I stop failin

Net Branding Trends - Part II
So how does one survive the ever changing and evolving branding trends especially in the Internet Age? First up, an increasingly winning strategy will definitely require information about conditions inside and outside your chosen industry (non-customers, technologies besides those currently being used by your firm, present competitors, markets not currently served, and so on). It is to the advantage of a good business person to keep up-to-date with technologies being used in the NET by other corporate websites, before embarking on one’s own style of Net Branding.Second, and what experts admit to be the tricky part, is not only harvesting this information but weeding out the suitable ones from useless jargons. Present day entrepreneurs must deal with "information overload". Getting data in the NET is easy these days, but making sense of it, is the hard part. Resear

Transform Your Business Name into a Brand Name
It's easy to think that because you have a name, logo and tag line, that you have a brand. But corporate identity is just the first step of building a brand image. The name, logo and tag line are two dimensional elements in a three dimensional world. And to become "real", to become a living, breathing, brand name, companies must possess three dimensional attributes. In other words, they must possess the same qualities that people do -- specific, consistent traits and characteristics that customers can easily indentify, remember and relate to.This is where most companies fall short. In an attempt to be all things to all people, they have no identity. They try to compete on every level... price, quality, service, selection and so on. It sounds like a good strategy but it fails nearly every time.Why?Because our minds are like little

The coach is not used to find solutions but rather bring to light the solutions already in plain view or hiding behind some fear or other barrier. The coach easily sees it and helps the client to get there on their own. Great athletes explain their experience with their coach very well. They attribute the coach, in helping them see the solution which allows them to raise the stakes on their own challenges after conquering such problems they achieve greatness in their fields. Coach are often writing inspirational books and holding seminars to help others achieve more.

My personal experience indicates my coaching is roughly the opposite of consulting, 75% encouragement, giving other point of view, reinforcement, acknowledgement, and follow-up. The other 25% is information, techniques, and resources carefully given so the client can find the real solutions.

Examples of Coaching clients:
Example#1:
A filmmaker wants to get his film more publicity and exposure. He some local stars and film is in the box. He hired an entertainment attorney, for $7000 who was supposed to shop it around and sell it.

Example#2:
A musician has just landed with a great band. They are touring the country and he wants to use this as an opportunity to launch his own career.

Example#3:
A retired professional athlete in organizing his media ventures. After his professional days were over he was invited on sports talk shows and various other media outlets. However, over time that fizzled and he found himself flat.

Example#4:
A former restaurant owner wants to concentrate on real estate. He believes he can do this but is afraid of the change of industry and the learning curve.

Example#5:
A successful San Fernando Valley realtor has spent years of pounding the pavement. She has fierce competition and needs to get a firm piece of the pie.

All my coaching clients are treated with a specialized respect to their needs as they move to the top of their fields. All of them have a measurable amount of success and know they want to achieve more.
