Business is war and the competition is the enemy—right? Wrong. Though competition is a fundamental aspect of being in business, savvy entrepreneurs know that viewing competitors exclusively as adversaries is not only shortsighted, it’s potentially damaging. A better strategy is to build alliances with your competitors and let them help you become better and stronger. Here’s how: 1. Know who your competitors are. This sounds basic—so basic that it’s often overlooked by many business owners and salespeople.

Compatibility is an important element in strong, long-lasting marriages, and it’s also the key element in strong, successful employer/employee relationships. Consider this: You want every person you hire to have the basic tools to succeed, and a critical part of that is being sure the individual’s skills and personality is a good match for the job.

Every day we are bombarded with problems to solve and decisions to make. And the quality of our solutions and decisions are only as good as the information they are based on. With so much information at our fingertips, how can we systematically analyze the information for better results? How can we judge the accuracy of certain pieces of information that’s floating everywhere that everyone is using?

Workforce stability is a key to any company’s longevity. Turnover is not only expensive from the practical dollars and cents perspective—the cost of recruiting, hiring, and training—it also means that you lose a sense of the company’s history when people leave. That “corporate memory” is important, and it takes workforce stability to develop it. A stable workforce also means that your people get to know each other and build strong relationship, and, in a positive upward spiral, those relationships contribute to the stability of your workforce.

Whether you’re a business owner or an entrepreneurial-style manager, you’re going to spend a great deal of your time taking care of other people—employees, vendors, business associates, friends, and, of course, family. “Taking care of” can mean nurturing, of course, but in this context, it also means problem-solving, mediating, motivating, and sometimes even scolding. When you’re the go-to person, you’ll find yourself being many things to many people, and if you’re not careful, you won’t have enough energy left for yourself. That’s why you must remember to take care of you.

Look around where you work and see how different people live in different periods of time. They are living in the Past Now, Current Now or Future Now. Being around people living in the Past Now can be depressing. These individuals believe something great happened in the past, but nothing will be right in the future. Not only do people become stuck there, lots of organizational structures are stuck in the past, too. “If we had only done this...If, if, if...” Living in the past is a nonproductive way to live. Seemingly fun people, but equally dangerous, are the Future Now people.

Most companies tend to invest most of their development resources in the underperformers, the salespeople who are struggling. They tend to pay far less attention to the top or even the mid-ranking performers. Consider the flaws in that approach: If you’re a top performer bringing in the revenue, how does it make you feel to see all that attention being focused on the people who can’t get the job done?

As an avid reader and author, I am a big supporter of the First Amendment and the right to free speech and freedom of expression. But as a business owner, I have the right to limit the speech and expression of employees while they are on the job. I have, for example, the right to insist that my employees not use profanity when they are speaking with clients. I also have the right to establish a dress code that employees must abide by while working.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me. You probably learned this rhyme as a child and maybe chanted it to a playmate who was teasing you. It would be nice if it were true, but it’s not. Words can hurt. They can also help. They’re powerful. And their strength is not only in how other people talk to you, but in how you talk to them—and how you talk to yourself. For example, I don’t have problems. Problems are negative, they’re anchors that can drag you down. My competitors have problems they have to deal with.

According to its website, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is an independent agency of the federal government that “helps Americans start, build and grow businesses.” It’s true that you can go to the SBA and they will tell you how to start and run a business, how to get all the necessary licenses and permits, how to keep your records and pay your taxes, and so on. But they’re also going to tell you that you need all of your ducks in a row, your business plan completed, checked and double-checked, and absolutely everything just right before you open your doors.

I have always prided myself on being very aware and having excellent observation skills, but every so often something happens, which takes me down a notch or two and reminds me that there is always room for improvement. There are lessons to learn every day. In 2003, my niece and I travelled to Grenada for the Caribbean Gift and Craft Show held in late September. As is our practice when we travel, based on recommendations from the hotel where we were staying, we hired a local as our tour guide. We spent quite some time on a tour of a Nutmeg Factory.

If you’re in business, you’re going to make mistakes and you’re going to occasionally fail. That’s okay, because that’s how you learn and how you get better and grow. The key is to minimize the impact of your mistakes and failures. Make your successes big and your failures small, and you’ll always come out ahead. The best way to do this is to test before you implement. Never assume that any idea will work; always test it for proof.

To create an effective marketing campaign that will drive growth in your company, you have to know your customer—and this isn’t as easy as it sounds. There are two angles to the issue of knowing your customer. One is to have a clear picture of your prospective customers. Who has a need for your product or service, is likely to buy it, and can afford it? For individual consumers, you’ll want to know their demographics—how old they are, where they live, how much money they make, how many children and pets they have.

A certain amount of redundancy is important in any organization because you need backups. You don’t, for example, want to have just one individual be the only person who knows how to do a key job. On the other hand, you don’t need too many people doing the same job, either. You want to get rid of the fat and keep the muscle. It’s easy for a rapidly-growing organization to get fat—and it’s just as easy for a company operating in tough times to get too lean. It’s a lot like the human body: We put on a pound or two, and we don’t really notice it so we don’t worry about it.

It is now more vital than ever to stay ahead of what is going on around us, so that our businesses remain in tact and stronger than ever. I strongly believe a 'quality system' is one way to do that. That doesn't necessarily mean that you need to go to all the trouble and cost of obtaining an accreditation certificate to ISO 9001; what it does mean is that you can use the ISO 9001 guidelines to setup your very own quality system. If you are having problems in areas of staff performance, comebacks, customer satisfaction...

Are you tired of using the same quotes over and over again, or seeing the same quotes being used everywhere? The perfect quotes that are well placed can make the difference between a ho-hum piece of communication and one that is music to the ears of your audience. But, if we all using the same quotes, our writing quickly becomes stale. What can you do about using the same old quotes all the time? Actually a lot. Whenever I saw a great quote that I liked, I would enter it into my "Quotes That I Like" file for future use.

It may surprise you to know that not everyone is as enthusiastic about Balance Sheet Analysis as I am... And yet, a few minutes a month spent looking at your Balance Sheet could make a difference between success and failure for your business! Those "secrets" alluded to in the article title are hidden only to those who don't know where to look. So, let me show you just a fraction of what the Balance Sheet can tell you about your business and how it wan warn you about possible

The Lesson of “I, Pencil” An Essay on Economic Freedom for the Ages As a young college student studying economics in the 1960’s I was exposed to the writings and philosophy of Leonard Read while researching a paper on Adam Smith’s enlightened principle of the “Invisible Hand”. Mr. Read had founded the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) in 1948. As I conducted my sophomore research I noted that the thoughts and articles of Leonard Read were inevitably intertwined with the ideas of the capitalist pioneer Mr. Smith. At that time I stumbled upon an essay that Mr.

by: Geoff Ficke I recently saw the movie “The Prestige”. The story is about two ferociously rival magicians and is set in the 1890’s. A sub-plot in the movie conce s the largely forgotten rivalry between scientists and inventors Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison. Entrepreneurs today can learn much from the Edison/Tesla saga. Thomas Edison is one of the most famous and revered Americans of all time, and deservedly so. School children are taught that he harnessed electricity, invented the light bulb and the phonograph.

There is always a time in our lives where we suffer from headaches. Headaches seem to be a common disease nowadays. According to Wrong Diagnosis, one of the world's leading online medical health information providers, they made a research about headaches around the world and just in United States according to that research, 45 millio American men and 20 millio American women, suffer from chronic headaches.

If you are living in Singapore, this might be the right time for you to be a freelancer. The demand for the freelancers is on the rise in Singapore. It is in marked contrast to the traditional approach of Singaporeans of securing a permanent job with a company. Are there any Freelancers in Singapore?r

Toxic Relationships Every person reading this piece is either in, has been in, or knows someone who has been in, a toxic relationship. The term is self-descriptive, the relationship is poisonous, and it is deadly. Remaining in this type of relationship may or may not lead to physical death but the emotional toll it takes is no less devastating.

One of life’s great pleasures is travel. The opportunity to view distant lands, experience new food and drink, sample exotic cultures and meet local citizens is always rewarding. One of my most prized experiences when I visit any new land is to sample local produce, manufactured goods and learn about local industry and commerce. When I visit Geneva, Switzerland I relish the opportunity to shop, research and be amazed by the fabulously artesian craft of exclusive watch making found in the city’s endless jewelry ateliers.

These modern times we are actually facing, brings new technological trends, artifacts, software, new inventions and tools in order to achieve material success. However just like Oxford University stated in one of their last report, this modern era is also called "the age of the psychosomatic approach" this was also supported by the last survey made by The World Health Organization (WHO) Global Burden of Disease. Diabetes is considered the "modern era" disease.

At the conclusion of every sales presentation the salesman will have achieved one of three results: a sale is made, a sale is lost or valuable information is gleaned that can result in building a relationship. The third result can be called identifying the “hot button”. Obviously, the purpose of every sales presentation is to close the sale, and this is the only acceptable outcome any good salesman expects.

Psalm 37:4 says “Delight yourself in the Lord and HE will give you the desires of your heart.” What does this passage mean? To the typical Christian in today’s society it means, “Be happy and in joy because of your relationship with your Lord God and for what he has done for us as a people, and He will fulfill your heart’s desire”. Now let’s break it down and see what the original meaning from the Hebrew means. The word delight comes from the Hebrew word, anag, meaning “make yourself moldable and pliable”.

Sales letters are the foot-in-the-door your company may need when contacting potential clients or a way to announce a new product or service to existing clients. Here are some tips on writing a sales letter that gets results. 1. Personalize it! Whenever possible, make sure you address the letter to a specific individual within the organization. Nothing says amateur more tha “Dear Potential Customer” or “Dear Client”. Let the reader know you’ve done your research and took the

There are many lessons around us, if we but take the time to BE instead of DO. Many of these lessons we can learn from successful people, many who are further along the path that we are traveling, or have already completed the jou ey. Have you ever wondered what makes a highly accomplished individual tick? I have! I have also wondered what motivates them and how they stay motivated.

People are often seeking inspiration, and that is why most of us have a favorite quote.

Many have long touted the efficiency of multitasking, especially with the availability of the numerous technological tools for busy executives, but recent research studies have proven otherwise. In one research study to test attention and memory, “low multitaskers” consistently outperformed “high multitaskers.” Another research study indicated that shifting gears from one task to another, especially one that is less familiar actually costs time. George Fraser, named “Black America’s #1 Networker” by Black Enterprise Magazine, obviously agrees with the research findings.

Having just returned from a Trainer Training in London a month ago, I thought it a good idea to answer one of the questions that I was asked by enough people to make it worthwhile to write about here.nnThe question I've been asked is, "What makes a successful consultant?" Well, I've taken this question and expanded it sideways to include "trainer, teacher, manager, etc." and expanded it upwards to include 'entrepreneur, etc." because to me, whatever it is you're doing profess

One of my last positions in the corporate world several years ago involved the administration of the employee survey that took place every other year. As the manager of the employee strategy, I interacted with employees at every level of the organization. Overseeing the data collection, analysis of participants’ responses, and the cross-functional action planning processes for improvements that followed was very “engaging” and interesting work. Many employee surveys are developed and based upo Gallup organization research.

I grew up in the 1950’s playing basketball hour after hour on city playgrounds. The public courts of the day were nothing like those found today in most American towns. There were no lights, a steel, kidney-shaped backboard (ugh!) with bent rims, occasionally a steel chain net and no lines painted to properly delineate the free throw line and out of bounds. The surface was often rough and cracked. You had to know where the ball would give a true bounce and where you could lose control because of the uneven surface. But we played on for endless hours in all weather.

If you could turn back the hands of time and make amends for an earlier mistake, a major one, would you? And, have you been fixated on this mistake, perhaps had many sleepless nights over it? Judging by the amount of research conducted on regret over the years, these questions should not be taken lightly. The ability to disengage from regrets, especially as we grow older, is paramount since research by Dr. Carsten Wrosch and Dr. Isabelle Bauer from Concordia University revealed that holding on to regrets can affect health. “Regrets are a double-edged sword,” says Wrosch.

Creating value together for Shareholders and stakeholders is becoming a mandatory must-do thing nowadays, by shareholders we just do not mea CEOs or the Board of Directors of an organization, it has to do also with the employees and customers. These two stake and shareholders value creation concept must be working together in a holistic way, never separately as it was recently, it has to be worked all like one if we want to have a sustainable competitive advantage in all levels.

Storage warehouse is commonly, confused with storage facility. However, these two are different from each other. The former is used for industrial purpose while the latter may be used for personal or business needs. A storage warehouse is a commercial building that is used for storage of goods. It is usually, located in an industrial area since it is not meant for personal use. These warehouses are of use to wholesalers, retailers, exporters, manufacturers, transporters and s

Remember the 80:20 rule? Outstanding customer service aims to go even better than that. You may not get everything perfectly right, but getting most of it right will be much, much better than the majority of your competition. Ten Tips for Outstanding Customer Service 1. Be Your Customer - Walk in their shoes, listen with their ears, see with their eyes... Encounter your business the way your customers do and experience what they experience. Stand in line, call your support center, report a complaint, check on an order.

It would be simple for a healthcare operation to be successful if you didn’t have to work with customers and co-workers. All joking aside, many people feel their day is composed of merely trying to make positive human connectivity occur. Many organizations find, instead, human entanglement rather than human connectivity. As a professional in healthcare, our skills in conflict management are capable of improvement and development on an ongoing basis.

Once again that uncomfortable feeling pays a visit, but this time you cannot close the door and just ignore it. The discomfort that you are feeling is with yourself. Your life does not fit you, and it has not for a long time. You know that you cannot alter your life the way you would a garment, because the life you are living simply was not made with you in mind. You have been fooling yourself, and have been living a lie for so long, that you no longer know the real you.

Would you like to feel more in control of your day? Developing a morning routine that will boost your productivity can help you stay on top of your commitments for the day. Many people benefit from rising early and following a set routine every morning. While this won't benefit everyone, it might be just what you need to feel more in control of your daily life! Consider these ideas when developing a morning routine:

Have you ever noticed how successful people always seem to have a very wide net of friends and acquaintances? Howard Hughes became an infamous recluse only after he was fabulously wealthy. His network of business associations enabled him to excel in aviation, manufacturing, heavy industry, oil, movie making and hotel/casino ownership. He tapped into the best managers, engineers and executives available within each industry he tackled to manage his properties and provide essential expertise. Most people are very lucky if they have two or three truly close personal friends in a lifetime.

Centering is one of those topics in statistics that everyone seems to have heard of, but most people don’t know much about. It has developed a mystique that is entirely unnecessary.nnCentering just means subtracting a single value from all of your data points. It shifts the scale of a variable and is usually applied to predictors. It's called centering because people often use the mean as the value they subtract (so the new mean is now at 0), but it doesn't have to be t

Unlike the mainframe era, today’s computers are designed to be small, reliable, extremely useful, and above all, very fast.

For many years I felt that if you scratched any American you were scratching an entrepreneur. This is the country where entrepreneurial activity is most possible and seemingly every citizen has an idea with commercial potential. Sadly, over time, I realized I was wrong. If you scratch most Americans you are most likely scratching a dreamer. The difference between a dreamer and a doer is profound. Successful entrepreneurs might have initially dreamt of success, but they will not stop there.

Are we hardwired to automatically place limits on ourselves? We set limits on our earning potential, on how much we can accomplish in life. We are either too young or too old, have too much or too little education and the reasons go on and on about why we cannot do something. Many of us suffer from excusitis. And, I was no different until I started to pay close attention to the stories I tell myself about why I did not honor commitments to myself. Setting limits on ourselves is a self-fulfilling prophecy because we get exactly what we expect.

Those darn treetops are at it again! Anyone who has taken the time to read a recent piece entitled “On Treetops” knows what I am alluding to. At a point along my daily jogging path, regally stand a dozen or so trees as silent witnesses to my labor. But are they really silent? You will recall, if you read the previous work, that at this particular place on my chosen path only the tops of the trees are visible. Most of the trunks, lower branches, and roots are obscured by a bridge but, to return to the question, are the trees silent?

I got the opportunity to interview my hero and invisible mentor, Jim Rohn, a few years ago. On December 5, 2009, Jim Rohn a business philosopher and teacher, passed away from pulmonary fibrosis. I was very saddened by the news, but his words will live on, and I am grateful for the 30 minutes that he was in my life. How I Got to Interview Jim Rohn A few years ago I interviewed Jim Rohn for my newsletter Ambeck Edge, and my book Tales of People Who Get It.

Even though it was two years ago, I can still remember the conversation like it was yesterday. My friend, Janet, called me in hysterics the night of her company holiday party. Earlier that evening she was mingling with many co-workers. As the night went on, she found herself deep in a conversation with one of her male co-workers. And before she knew it, she was being hit on harder than a hammer to a nail. And not only did this “prince charming” know she was married, he was married as well! Well, over the next year, the situation got so bad that she eventually left the company.

I was recently reminded how some of the best solutions are also the simplest whilst working with a client. The client runs has a small business and was getting increasingly frustrated by their inability to get his team to achieve things to his high standards.

It's a story I've head repeated many times by managers over the years and when I do, there's a tried and tested tool in my toolbox which I find helps a lot...r

The importance of a professional business presentation can not be overstated in determining the fate of a new business opportunity. Nevertheless, it is amazing how many times the presenter does not apply these same essential professional requirements to their own person. You only get one chance to make a great first impression. Make the most of it! This goes far beyond the obvious elemental issues of personal care and hygiene.

If you brought ten entrepreneurs together to ask them to make a list of the five most important traits of a successful entrepreneur they would probably finish up with eleven lists. Entrepreneurs don’t like predictability and arriving at simplistic answers. However, if you read each of those eleven lists, I think you would find the following traits on a lot of those lists. 1. Vision One of the first attributes of all successful entrepreneurs is having a clear vision.

Following an article I wrote on learning to sail with a spinnaker, I thought it may be worth introducing to the beginner and sailors that have not had the pleasure of using a spinnaker chute. Designed in America for the Flying Dutchman class it has proven it worth in many sailing races that allow the use of a spinnaker chute. Its is fast to hoist and lowering the spinnaker so in a race with light airs it can be a major benefit on time when hoisting around the mark.

In 2009, millions of United States homeowners learned that modifying their existing home loans served only to expedite foreclosure rather than prevent it. A U.S. Treasury report released in early December of 2009 revealed that only 4% of applicants under the federal government’s Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) have been able to successfully modify their loans on a permanent basis. Further, of those 4% that were able to modify their loans, an amazing 40% went into default within the following 6 months.

One of the bigger mistakes we see new entrepreneurs and startup businesses make is to try to hit a home run right out of the box. My experience in the days when I played baseball, and in building a solid business foundation, is that when purposely trying to hit home runs, you usually strike out. The homer usually comes when you just try to make contact with the ball and put it in play. My consumer product marketing consulting firm counsels dozens of entrepreneurs every year. Very often, these admirable, ambitious go-getters are driven to be as big as they can be, as fast as they can be.

When my employer downsized and I first wanted to start my business, I wanted to consult a lawyer, because I had several questions coming up in my mind. I approached my friends, relatives and searched in the internet to locate a lawyer to answer my questions. I realized that my questions will have to be answered by lawyers in different areas of law. It was not feasible for me to hire each of those lawyers and seek consultation. It took me several hours of time and effort to come up with a solution.

While jogging recently along my usual path I was touched deeply by some treetops. Part of my route involves traversing a bridge that elevates to treetop level. On this particular day, the changing leaves, combined with the unusual vantage point, pried open thoughts of good endings.

There is no doubt about it - meetings take up a good amount of our time on a weekly basis. Think back for a minute on all the time you spent in meetings this past year - whether they were one-on-one meetings or a group meeting in a conference room. WOW, that's a lot of time spent meeting! Was it all necessary? And how much time was spent traveling to and from those meetings? Would some of them have been just as effective without everyone in the same physical place? Do all meetings need to be face-to-face meetings? That's a question people don't ask often enough.

Here’s a Banana For Your Baby… (your business) One of the most difficult parts of serving entrepreneurial leaders is telling them a part or their entire baby (their business) is ugly.

Spreading responsibility across all employees in the facility relieves stress in individual staff members. Stress of all kinds pummels those who work in long term care.

Every business requires a structure that will withstand necessary legal and governmental scrutiny. The choice of how to organize a new enterprise should be made based on the needs and capacity of the owner(s) to maintain and detail the records, history and finances of the business.

How to Turn an Ancient Scottish Peat Bog into Marketing Gold Many years ago, as a young entrepreneur seeking to launch my very first consumer product, I discovered the importance of having a Unique Selling Proposition (USP) to establish my brand’s niche. My partner and I had developed a very superior multi-use skin moisturizer that we positioned as working in conjunction with a novel loose powder make up. The performance of the treatment and color cosmetic system was far superior to anything on the market at the time.

Have You ever felt like building a list of your own prospects, but did not know where to start? I, sure have been there. I wanted to build my own list, but I put off doing it, because I thought it is not necessary and did not believe that MONEY is in the list. Why should you build your OWN list? As per my experience, there are four reasons. 1. To learn about your Target Market. Who are they? What do they want? How can you help them with their problems? What is their geographical location? 2. To Develop services/products using YOUR strengths/skills that benefit them. 3.

A well-fitting regression model results in predicted values close to the observed data values. The mean model, which uses the mean for every predicted value, generally would be used if there were no informative predictor variables. The fit of a proposed regression model should therefore be better than the fit of the mean model.nnThree statistics are used in Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression to evaluate model fit: R-squared, the overall F-test, and the Root Mean Square E
