    How To Communicate Effectively With Users On A Non-Technical Level
    Inevitably, being a technical support contact, you are going to have to speak to a client, whether it's being the first point of contact and they have called you to report a problem, to get more information about a particular problem, or to let them know an issue has been resolved. Unfortunately, in my experience, most technicians do this the absolute wrong way.What's the wrong way, you ask? Well let me explain. For th
    orts of problems you're naturally inclined to solve, study the problems. Become a student of them and an observer of the people who have them. Be open to where your unique value can help solve problems -- and identify facets of the problem that may require application of unique value you yourself do *not* possess. Then either find others who possess those unique values or develop the skills required to deliver additional value yourself.

    For example, your unique value might lie in identifying market opportunitie

    Interview Like A Champion
    Maybe you have decided that you deserve more money than you are currently being paid or maybe you have decided that not having a job and not being paid anything must come to an end. You may be looking for a new position in the company you are in or you may be looking to jump companies and possibly even industries all together. Whatever you situation is, you must face the inevitable…The Job Interview.Why so many peopl
    You have a unique advantage, an edge no one else has. When you put that unique advantage to work for you -- when you take the time to develop it as you would strengthen a muscle -- you get something that reduces perceived risk and triples your chances for success.

    That something is called Informed Confidence.

    In fact, research in progress by the SBA Office of Advocacy (http://www.sba.gov/advo/) shows that confidence is the number one success factor when starting any new venture. But confidence alone is not enough. You need the kind of confidence you get only by doing the footwork.

    How do you turn your unique advantage into the edge called Informed Confidence? You do it by identifying your unique value and assessing opportunities that allow you to put that unique value to use in service to your ideal customers.

    Identifying Your Unique Value

    Your unique value is a combination of your chosen principles and the thing you do best. Defining your principles requires you to examine your goals. It forces you to examine your personal beliefs about money, people, reciprocity, relationships, and time.

    Knowing what you do best takes more insight than most people realize. Yet what you do best can be easy to identify if you'll ask yourself these questions:

    • To what sort of problems or situations am I most attracted?
    • What sort of problems or situations are most attracted to me?
    One of the best ways to work out the answers to these questions is to free-write your answers. That is, sit down and let your mind rest on each question for a moment, then starting writing about it as quickly as you can without judgment or editing. You can also draw mind maps of the answers, or sketch an image of those answers. Use any technique that feels comfortable for you.

    No matter what technique you use, you'll find that if you trust the process you'll get results -- some of which you may not have expected.

    Assessing Opportunities

    Once you identify your unique value and have articulated the sorts of problems you're naturally inclined to solve, study the problems. Become a student of them and an observer of the people who have them. Be open to where your unique value can help solve problems -- and identify facets of the problem that may require application of unique value you yourself do *not* possess. Then either find others who possess those unique values or develop the skills required to deliver additional value yourself.

    For example, your unique value might lie in identifying market opportunities

    What To Do After You've Been Betrayed
    It might have been your best friend, your partner, your boss, your brother or even your lover. It burns deep inside. You can’t sleep for the anger, the shock and dismay. You may find yourself still not believing it’s happened to you. But it has!When those we have entrusted with our money, our plans, our strategies, our loyalty or even our love betray us, we feel violated deep inside. We feel crushed. We wonder if

    For example, your unique value might lie in identifying market opportunities. Perhaps you're a little weak on the specification side, however, so you might decide to partner with someone who is skilled at translating vision into clear marketing specifications.

    Your Informed Confidence

    Once you are able to perceive opportunities from the perspective of your unique value as seen through the eyes of your ideal customers, you have developed a level of Informed Confidence. The more you observe and refine your understanding, the deeper that confidence becomes.

    Your unique advantage is the union of your perception of the problem and the special perspective you bring to solving it. Bring that union into play in relationship with your customers, and you'll find that they will find their own unique advantage.

    Informed Confidence in YOU!
