Some lessons for your business to live by!
Here are 12 lessons to live by in your business 1. ALWAYS DO MORE THAN IS EXPECTED OF YOU I learned this at an early age from my Dad. He had a very successful career as a business executive and engineer, and this the core principle that created his success.

Strategic Planning - Business Executive Essentials - Part 8 of 12
The spectrum of corporate strategic planning models and processes is broad, and the term has taken on many different connotations over recent decades. For organizations that are new to formal strategic planning, it can seem like a daunting task. It certainly does not have to be, and this article series is intended to help chief executives get on the right path to better corporate planning. Just compiling goals and timelines into a spreadsheet that gets sent along with a meaningless report in a binder doesn’t cut it.

How to Gain Mastery and Become World-Class at Anything
Chet Holmes was said to be “America’s greatest sales and marketing executive” by Charlie Munger. He said that he had run 40 businesses and never seen anybody consistently achieve the kind of breakthrough results that Chet Holmes had achieved again and again. Chet Holmes shared his formula and it is SO simple that I’m already smiling because I know what kind of “That’s it?” reactions this will get. What he managed to do is pretty impressive. He said that if you can do 4000 activities 12 times, or 12 activities 4000 times, which would you pick. 4000 activities 12 times might be fun, depending on the situation…I wouldn’t want to watch 12 movies 4000 times, for example. But there is a trade-off. Chet Holmes is a ‘turn-around expert’, and he chose the latter option: 12 activities 4000 times.
Make Your Blog a Destination, Not a Bump in the Road
Social media has been billed as the greatest thing that ever happened for business. Where else can you set up your show table and hawk your goods -- products/services -- to everyone in town.

Nope you\'ve probably got a few thousand or if you\'re really lucky 10s of thousands of people you want to/need to communicate with on a regular basis to share information about your organization, its plans/programs/products and keep them informed about activities, ideas, goals. Those are some of the fundamental reasons - and being an industry thought leader is one -- you want to produce a blog.
