Lesson #5: Know When to Get Help

The Comeback Kid: Steve Jobs is Born
“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life,” says Steve Jobs. From the day he was born on February 24, 1955, Steven Paul Jobs has been blazing his own path.

About Walt Disney
Walt Disney may be one of America’s most beloved visionaries and entrepreneurs, but there is much about Walt Disney that his fans don’t know. For instance, did you know that Walt Disney’s actual autograph bears no resemblance to the famous Disney logo?

Commitment: It Must Be Leveraged by the Organization
Commitment is that attitude which if employed in an orchestrated strategy, with highly capable well-trained people, and led by obsessive visionaries (leaders), can be the power, which assures success in almost any venture. To be most effective, commitment should start at the top. In his book Firing On All Cylinders, author Jim Clemmer states, “It’s not enough for senior executive team members to be “committed” to service/quality improvement; they must be visibly seen to be obsessed with this as their top priority.”

Vision: The Blessing of a Chosen Few?
Are there truly few visionaries in the world or are we simply looking in the wrong places?
I'm Every Woman!
This week, we celebrated International Woman's Day - not something I take lightly. I honor, respect and celebrate the women who have 'walked before me' - without whom I would not be living this life of freedom and opportunity. This past weekend, I spoke at the Amazing Woman's Day event in Toronto - the Canadian launch of this international initiative. Wow! Words cannot describe the experience. There's something very powerful when a room is filled with women, from all walks of life, each with their own story - mothers - sisters - entrepreneurs - career women - retirees - stepmoms - daughters - entertainers - authors - visionaries and so on.
Age of Convergence? Not for Designers.
For the last 10 years, internet visionaries, tech company CEOs and media moguls have told us we’re in an “Age of Convergence” that will change the way we live, learn and interact with each other. Indeed, things have changed. But if you’re involved in web design or any other type of interactive media, you probably haven’t noticed much of anything “converging.” In fact, design requirements are more diverse than ever.
Whether you want to Buy a Business or Sell Your Business - Let me ask you, have you ever wondered how to value a business?
Have you ever wondered how to value a business? Business valuation methods vary depending on whom you ask. Many business brokers use the common multiple method.

To gain a better understanding how business brokers value a business, I have provided an example. See why there is so much confusion and how you can overcome it yourself.
Is there a "C" in "See"?
They have all been willing to look at how a high level administrative team can harness workplace conflict, master workplace relationships, tackle leadership dilemmas, be pioneers and visionaries in the field of education, build trustworthy relationships, and have enjoyable friendships all at the same time. They all came to "see with new eyes" and embrace life long learning. The task now is to take the skills they have learned to to their direct reports, to the rest of the organization.

Growing Your Small Business with Non-Traditional Financing
Small business owners are always seeking ways to grow their business. Whether you are going after business-to-business (B2B) clients, business-to-government (B2G) contracting opportunities, or business-to-consumer customers (B2C), growing your business is the foremost thing on your mind.
Don't use Rules of Thumb when valuing a business.
When valuing a business to buy or sell don't focus too much on financial statements alone. While these are important aspects of the business they are not the only value drivers that the business has. The value of a business goes deeper than the industry that the business is in. More than the profit of the bottom-line of a tax return. When you want a quality business to buy or want to sell your business for the maximum price. It is crucial to discover the individual personal characteristics that the business has over it's competitors.
