Building A Strong Rapport with Your Employees
We are going to talk about how to gain rapport with your employee. Rapport is something that business owners must work at to get the best results. What is rapport? : The ability to enter someone else’s world, to make that person feel that you understand him/her and that you have a common bond.
How the Media Can Make or Break Your Business
I have had the honor of working in media for over a decade. I'm amazed at how the industry can make or break your business if you don't use it to your advantage.

How to Model a Fortune 100 Company and Get the Same Result
Most people have the mindset of seeing their company as being just local and small. The Fortune 100 companies I have worked with see their companies as being international. If a small business owner wants to reap the same rewards as a larger, more successful company, then he must model success. The idea is to learn to think and behave like a Fortune 100 company. You can do it by following these suggestions:

How to motivate your employees
Motivating employees, to get the job done, is a big problem for most companies. What is your game plan to motive your employees? The biggest challenge I see is everyone has a different communication style.

How to Overcome Difficult Times in Your Business
One day, I had received a call from a potential client who told me that she had just lost everything in her business because she went through a divorce. At that moment, I felt sad for her loss and then offered her a solution to move forward in her business.

What is your DMO
Most businesses that I have worked with in the past ten years do not have a DMO, and I am very shocked that businesses do not operate from that type of mindset. A DMO is: a Daily Method of Operation. What is your DMO?

How to Find Ways to Create More Time in Your Business
We all have 24-hours in a day. Based on the time spent on your business, are you just being active or truly productive? A lot of businesses are just active and not producing great results. If you are one of them, ask yourself some of these questions:

Wikipedia for Patents
John Funk, an entrepreneur (I’m an investor in John’s newest company – Evergreen IP) and friend has a innovative proposal up concerning changing the rules on the current patent system. I’ve been on both sides of the patent aisle with John – we like to joke that early on in our relationship John’s company sued one of my companies (and then my company sued John’s company back) for patent infringement (the companies settled several years later for a cross license and $1 – much to the delight of the lawyers who got all the bucks.) Fortunately we got past all that crap and have developed a nice friendship.
Reservations and Low Expectations
John arrived at the hotel only to be told that he had a room with a twin bed. "I'm six foot four," John used as part of his argument. It didn't help. His confirming the day before didn't help, either. The clerk advised him to curl up in the twin bed.

Marketing Software
I have a friend named John who I met a few years back at a business convention. Due to our similar interest in startups, we hit if off right away. John was just working on getting his public relations company off the ground and running, and with the amount of passion he always had for this business, I had no doubt he would be able to do so. But, after having lunch with John the other week, I realized something; three years after I had first met him, John was still struggling to get his business off the ground. It wasn’t because he wasn’t dedicated. Rather, after talking to him, I realized he was missing out on having one big advantage: marketing software.

Perspective
Quit your griping - use what you've got! In 1993 the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce recognized John Foppe as one of Ten Outstanding Young Americans. John worked as a speaker while in college and graduated cum laude in just three and a half years. He's also a gifted artist and an inspiration to all who know him.

How to decide when you need a written agreement (and when you don’t)
“You have a deal!” said John as he reached over to shake Paul’s hand. Paul was elated. He knew the new business venture could reap rewards for both parties. However, Paul had been burnt before in a similar deal and knew he should have a written agreement with John. But, he wasn’t sure John would go for it – and he didn’t want to lose the deal.

Success Through A Positive Mentor
"Success Through A Positive Mentor" is John Paul Carinci's story of how a chance meeting with an Olympic champion at age 21 changed John forever. by John Paul Carinci: author of "The Power Of Being Different" (c- 1998 John Paul Carinci)
Why I Hate Asking For Referrals
I just read an article in Entrepreneur Magazine by one of the most respected marketing folks in the industry. Normally, I really like John Jantsch’s work but I have to disagree with him this time. John suggests that you should ask every customer for referrals to their friends. I think that is one of the worst mistakes a salesperson can make.
Negativity Has Left the Building: Focus on the Positive & Show Negativity the Door
John was at his wits end because his sales team had gone negative, they were selling less and he could see his ship had sprung a major leak and was going down. I gave John an exercise to do over the next 3 weeks to show negativity the door.

Give them wings and they will fly
To get the best out of your staff you really have to know them. If you are able to connect with your employees you are going a long way to being a successful manager. Take a typical supervisor, John, in an organisation. Could you answer the following questions about him? Why does John want to work for you? What has been his greatest achievement this year? Does he have a professional goal for 2010? How long has John been working for you? If you are unable to answer any of these questions about one of your own employees then you are probably out of touch with your staff, and out of touch with your business.

Wooden You Like To Be Successful?
John Wooden is known as one of the finest basketball coaches in America. He took his UCLA team to the NCAA playoffs 10 of 12 years and was named coach of the Century by ESPN. John Wooden was a great teacher and coach. The brilliance of his teaching is that he focused on the mental aspect of the game as well as the technical skills of basketball. John Wooden repeatedly told his team that controlling emotions was at the core of winning the game.
