While National Entrepreneurship Week falls in the last week of February in the USA, and the rest of the world who celebrates it, does so in November. This year may find the timing ripe to have entrepreneurs save economies around with the world, with joint ventures. Whether it's labeled joint venture, partnering, collaboration or cross-promotion, here are ten ways to get started: 1. Start out with a paper and pencil task, or use your word processing program. Give thought to, and write down, all the characteristics you want in your ideal joint venture partner.

The introvert myth continues to perpetuate possibly because of the use of the word most often as a noun, not a verb. Let's first look at how we commonly use the word as a noun to label people and then on to why the negativity of it just doesn't hold up to any truth. Did you know that introvert and extrovert, the words, are actually verbs too? Yes; we introvert and extrovert, all day long. That being the case, neither is better than the other. It's simply action. At work or in your life at times we find ourselves - researching, planning, writing, editing - all introverting actions.

People who are shy can be either introvert or extrovert. So much research points to this. One researcher, Be ardo Carducci, psychology professor and director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast in New Albany, finds there are far more shy people than introverts. That means that you can also have an extrovert preference and be shy.

In a recent article, “5 Networking Tips for People Who Can’t Network,” the author stated that the most likely reason that people don’t network effectively is because they think of themselves as introverts or shy. How ludicrous. Besides, that’s not what my findings are in an ongoing online survey! People don’t network effectively because their thinking about it is wrong. They only start to network when they need something: a job, a customer, an employee or a connection to help them. Networking is something that is part of life.

Many introverts I speak with, particularly prospective clients, are relieved to know it’s really okay to be an introvert. In the business world or even in personal life in, being around what can seem like mostly extroverts, we can feel alone, even alienated. The guilt of not being able to fit into extroverts ways can often lead to either extreme isolation or going overboard being something we are not. I know because I’ve done both. One of my ezines for caregivers, another life situatio I am in, inspired this post for me.

Follow up in sales is critical. On a recent podcast I talked about how the sales process includes a certain degree of timing. Particularly critical is the timing between a salesperson’s follow-up and a prospect’s pain point to want, not just need, what you sell. Unless you have a crystal ball to ...

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Patricia Weber

When you stop getting better, you stop being good. Keep your uniqueness in focus and you can keep getting better.

Some of my friends and clients say there is no one who can cut to the chase like I can. That's likely why I can get quick results with clients who match up perfectly with what I am about.

It's a pleasure to be able to hear clients talk about quick results because of our working together.

I am passionate that people do things differently when they CLAIM they want different results. I'll encourage, inspire, influence and even prod to help them do this. While I am patient and enjoy working with someone of a slower nature, I will persist to ask "what's that about," when there's no movement toward the desired results.
