Product differentiation is important, especially in a market where there are a small number of target customers. Differentiation is all about clarifying the uniqueness of your product, and highlighting the features that make it different from the competitor. In order to establish that distinctive mark, it is important to make the benefits of the product very clear. If those are successfully communicated, then the brand will automatically stand out in the mind of the customer.

Your competitive advantage is what gives you the edge over a competitor. It is a product feature or attribute, which is superior to that of the others on the market. Or, it might be a service that you are able to perform better than your competitors. Regardless of what it happens to be, that competitive edge can be exploited in order to attract new customers, and can also become a catalyst to drive sales. However it is vitally important, that this advantage be clearly and effectively communicated to clients.

Writer and producer Douglas Wood said “Fear of failure has always been my best motivator,” and considering the man has worked with Spielberg, I suppose the sentiment is valid. When it comes to small business owners, entrepreneurs, and professionals, however, the “fear of failure” is sometimes less of a motivator and more of a deterrent, keeping them away from potential opportunities and stuck in the comfort zone. The problem is, without taking risks, there is no reward, which can lead to stagnation and, worse still, irrelevance in an ever-shifting marketplace. Fear not!

Eliciting excellence in others is the essence of leadership, and one of the most effective means of eliciting excellence is to instill a sense of pride in those around us. Instilling pride has a myriad of benefits - quality of work and workmanship improves, creativity and innovation increases, collaboration is facilitated more easily, and people are willing to "go the extra mile" to do their best. A team or department instilled with a sense of pride will excel simply to prove to others that things can be accomplished that are otherwise thought impossible.

And all those are important, but don't address what matters most.

For an executive to be highly effective, they need to become highly productive. In addition, how they attain high productivity is as important as the productivity itself.

No small task given the pace of business and the extra load budgetary constraints impose. The second, no less important benefit, is that by completing our work in a highly productive manner, it keeps our stress and anxiety levels under control.

Rudolf Steiner saw man primarily as a fourfold being. To understand this concept we need to consider Steiner’s views on the human being in relation to the kingdoms of nature: Firstly consider the mineral kingdom. It is dead, inanimate – a stone does not move unless an exte al force is applied to it. It is physical structure only, without life of its own. Steiner called this the “physical body”. In the human body the skeleton is the most mineralized, “stone-like” part and can be likened to the mineral kingdom.

Yeah, I'm sure you've heard it before "practice makes perfect." And yes it's true, however, it's a certain type of practice that will cause your learningrnto explode, literally. When we learn part of the process is through what is known as combinatorial explosion. By definition, this is when something grows at a rapid rate. Because of this we feel we are learning a lot when we first start learning a new skill and why it feels like we arena't learning much once we become proficient. In short, it takes a lot more effort to grow as we get better at something.

One of the best ways to make a good impression with clients, potential clients and business colleagues (all of whom might be sources of referrals) is to be prepared.

Introduction Change is a mysterious subject and change managers have their views on what is the best way to make change happen. I doubt if anyone who has ever been involved with change management would say that all of the change initiatives that they have rolled out have been hugely successful. Every programme at some point or other comes to a point where the employees "resist the change". Now that expression in itself is an interesting subject, because it implies that the problem is with them – those being changed, rather than with us – those seeking to change.

The words “Peak Performance” tend to conjure up a vision of momentary flashes of brilliance. Extraordinary performances, like the 517 yard, hole-in-one, shot by golfer Mike Crean at Green Valley Ranch Golf Club in Denver, in 2002. Such performances as this are like flashes of lightning; rare, beautiful and hard to ignore. There is no doubt this is peak performance, but is a consistent level of peak performance possible as well?

The feedback that her staff gave her went something like this: “You’re hard to communicate with.” “I don’t feel empowered when you speak to me.” “You sound impatient when you speak to me.” “You make me feel stupid.” Does this scenario sound familiar to you?

At the beginning of your coaching call, ask, “How much time do we have?” The answer may surprise you. Sometimes we believe we’ll have an hour, only to have the player respond, “Oh, about twenty minutes.” It’ll happen to you, too. It doesn't matter if we've previously established the length of the call, things can come up. This happens with in-person sessions, too. By asking the time question, you will find out how much time you will have at the beginning. Therefore, you won’t get “lopped off” at a critical juncture with the player saying, “Oops, gotta run!

However, there are a number of compelling statistics which point a victory by the Texas Rangers.

Bowlers are always looking for simple ways to get more strikes and spares and to add pins to their scores. Like other athletes, bowlers tend to enjoy their sport more when they are performing to their fullest potential. And bowling is very mental, once you master the mechanics of the sport. That is, bowling is a sport which is very much about confidence, concentration, focus, tempo and being relaxed when you step on the lanes.

“My daughter is very bright, but she panics when she has to take tests.” “My son can’t sleep the night before a test.” “I was so scared during the SAT’s that I couldn’t concentrate at all. I took a prep class, but it didn’t help me. I was just too up tight to do well. I’m really worried about taking the SAT’s again.” School resumed in Bergen County about one month ago. For many students, young and old, the return to school includes the experiencing or the re-experiencing of the symptoms of test anxiety.

A big serve is a huge weapon in tennis. In order to serve well, you need to have reliable mechanics, an effective pre-serve routine and a range of different serves. In addition, top servers know how to disguise their serve, so their opponent can not determine what kind of serve is coming toward them. Furthermore, you need to understand the psychology behind serving well. In my view there are two kinds of psychology related to serving. The internal psychology and the exte al psychology.

One of the great things about being a parent is the fun you can have teaching your kids about what you know and enjoy. I love tennis, golf, photography photography, racquetball, fishing, swimming and chess. Like many fathers, when I became a dad, I was eager to share some of these interests with the kids. Since I have coached hundreds of athletes from a wide range of sports, written articles on sport psychology and conducted seminars on improving one’s performance in sports, I could not wait until my kids got old enough for me to “impart some of my wisdom” to my offspring.

School has started and lots of young athletes will be trying out for school teams. And some kids will fail to make the team. Others won’t get the playing time they think they deserve. This time of year, I get lots of calls from parents of young athletes who are upset about their child’s role in sports and their setback involving the team. “My son is heartbroken. He thought he would start on the team for sure.” “My daughter would rather quit the team then play junior varsity again.” “The coach seems to pick his favorites. My daughter won’t get any playing time.”

Watching children participate in sports can be a wonderful experience for youngsters and for their parents. Some kids really love having their family members at their sporting events. And some moms and dads love coaching their kids in sports like baseball, soccer, basketball and football. Parents often feel good about themselves for “making it to all of their kid’s games.” And parents do deserve credit for their willingness to adjust their busy schedules to get to their children’s events. Also, there is no question that sports can really be a wonderful way for a parentr

Tiger Woods is dealing with a multitude of issues, losses and changes which seem to be impacting his performance on the golf course. Several years ago, most golf pundits thought he would definitely break Jack Nicklaus’record for wins in majors. I have coached many golfers on the mental aspects of the game and some athletes can leave their personal lives off the course. However, Tiger Woods appears to be struggling with a number of challenging emotional and physical issues simultaneously.

I had the good fortune to listen in on a conversation the other day between two friends. One of them, we’ll refer to him as Steve, was focusing on and sharing all the things that were not going well with his struggling business which seemed to be spilling over into his personal life as well. No matter what feedback his friend provided, Steve was committed to seeing how things were not going to get any better. In a way, Steve was actually arguing for his current lot in life.

What would you do differently throughout your day if you only had time to experience joy and success? I often hear how so much energy and effort is being directed at what people don’t want rather than what they do want. Like anybody, I can get caught in that trap from time to time as well. So, last time I did, I asked the question: What would a full day look like if it contained only those things that brought me joy and closer to my successes? Consider for a moment if you could have one full day and set it up so that you only did things that brought you joy and success.

A reader recently posted this question on my blog: I found this especially helpful: "The longer you hang back and allow yourself to be held captive by a decision that didn’t turn out well, the more difficult it becomes to take a step forward. Adopt a success habit of moving forward ..." Any advice, though, when we aren't entirely sure what a step forward looks like? Ooooh, that elusive clarity… Finding clarity requires that you build space into your daily life that allows a deeper connection to where your business and life are calling you to go.

Aligning yourself with the right mentor is an essential tool to take your business to the next level. Finding and choosing your mentor deserves careful attention. Although my past achievements may look quite different (for example, practicing law, building an elite performance consulting company, becoming a highly paid speaker, publishing a book with a national publisher), they share a commonality. In each of these endeavors, I've more quickly reached a higher level of success by aligning myself with a mentor who had experienced what I needed to know to move forward.

I came across a video this week that features a new technology that captures people’s attention in a novel way. It’s worth watching simply to take a look and ask how you might use it in your business. But its value far surpasses this. In this video, Sir Ken Robinson, makes a powerful call for a paradigm shift in education. This struck me at a deep level, given my raising of 3 kids (including one we home schooled for a couple of years to provide him more of what he needed at the time) and my work on behalf of lower opportunity kids in the non-profit sector.
