Actual for You - Networking With People: Rule # 1
Each year, there are many businesses that close their doors unnecessarily because they simply did not seek help soon enough. The statistics are startling and yet consistent in good times and bad: 7 out of 10 new businesses in the United States will fail within the first year of operation and generally only a 10% chance of surviving five years. Clearly, the margin for error is fairly small. Experience has shown that there are several common mistakes that must be avoided and early trouble signs that must be taken seriously.Many times entrepreneurs will get a good idea and figure that passion and energy

You probably can’t give out the key to the city or even the key to the front office. But you can give out printed keyrings to encourage customers to think of you each and every time they unlock their doors. Some people collect keyrings while others toss them away. Make sure yours stands out before it ends up in the waste basket.Multi-Use KeyringsKeyrings don’t have to just hold keys and make jingling sounds, they can do so much more. Key chains with fabric loops make great for hanging on hooks in entryways and cramped office walls. For as little as ?0.19 a piece, you can find your busin
What happens when you work with someone who desires an outcome that opposes your own? At the very least, it can lead to frustration. If you go to a fast- food restaurant and you encounter an employee who desires only a paycheck, it is quite likely that the service you receive will be substandard. I am not suggesting for even a moment that employees should not seek a paycheck. In fact, my first job in high school was in the fast-food industry and I learned many valuable lessons. However, if an employee is focused only on a paycheck, then the only time he or she feels “successful” is payday. In the 1980’s when the minimum wage was only $3.50, the happiness of a restaurant paycheck was fleeting at best. Even though the wages have increased, the measure of happiness from a fast-food paycheck is just as temporary.

Many schools and churches are looking for fundraisers that are a bit different than the usual bake sale, candy bar sale or car wash. While these are great fundraisers, everyone is doing them. So many schools and churches are opting to sell silicone rubber bracelets.What makes these bracelets such good items for fundraising is the fact that they can be customized. This makes them unique. There won't be a dozen schools and churches selling the exact same bracelets. For churches, Bible verses can be inscribed on them, even using verses that are relevant for the purpose the funds are being raised.For

Do you wish you had more time in your day? Doesn't it always seem that if we just had a few more minutes, we could finish a task or project? Welcome to the fast fifteen!Usually we think of fifteen minutes as negligible in view of the larger projects and tasks that surround us. Let's examine different ways that 15 minutes could be more productive.Are you a victim of other people's agendas? If we are in `reactive' mode, then our fifteen minutes may be something like this: on hold on the telephone, waiting in line, in a traffic jam, waiting to talk with a colleague in the office, waiting to use the f

Marketing Strategy #1: Meet your prospects before you even start your business/promotion. Knowing your prospects before you offer them anything is incredibly powerful, not to mention profitable. On top of that, if you get to know them first, before doing a promotion, they will tend to respond more, thus bumping up your sales with no additional costs!Marketing Strategy #2: Ethically ‘bribe’ your prospects to do business with you. There have been too many unethical bribing incidents reported in the media recently. Be very clear, I’m NOT asking you to break the law. At the same time you need t
My experience working in a fast-food restaurant was mostly pleasant. As a high school student, I had three goals that kept me engaged. The paycheck was only one goal. This goal directly benefited two entities – first FICA and then me. Secondly, I wanted to help the business. My diligence helped the company to be more productive and profitable. They liked me so much that I quickly became the only one allowed to take out the trash – at least it seemed that way. Finally, I had a goal to serve the customers. I truly believed in the golden rule. If my friends stopped by to eat, I would gladly give them more food than they purchased. After all, that’s what I would want them to do for me.
Even though I was slightly misguided, I was truly involved in mutually beneficial transactions. I have learned since the days of high school to grow beyond mutually beneficial deals. It was mutually beneficial to my friends and me to give away free food. I got the recognition I was seeking and they often returned the favor when I visited the restaurant on their shift. From the employer’s perspective, however, it was just plain stealing. I have adopted the philosophy taught by Nap
