Lesson #5: Do Not Sell Yourself Short, The World Is Waiting
| |
| In the banking panic of 1875, a young Heinz found himself overextended and bankrupt. He had tried unsuccessfully to turn for help to the grocers he had been supplying with produce over the past few years. They, however, turned their backs on him. He could not even get enough credit to feed his family. |

Baby Boomers: Work From Home
| |
| Have you ever questioned why there are so many Baby Boomers? I mean, what was going on about nine months before we all got born? Even more important, what's happening to us today? Also, have you thought about retiring? Yeah, Right! In today's economy, are you kidding? We're probably in another "great" depression, but government "reports" won't come out in time to help us decide. So let's call whatever's happening an extended recession. Okay? Back to your retirement plans. With government spending totally out of control, and all the corporate failures and downsizing, can you even be sure you'll keep the job you have?

The Latest on Casual Dining

| The Latest on Casual Dining
Casual dining has been the darling of the franchised food service industry for decades. But the slowdown in same store sales in recent months raises some interesting questions. Does the price of gas really affect the dining habits of consumers? Does it matter if mortgage rates go up? Or are consumers getting bored with the same old fare? In this issue we talk to Ron Paul of Technomic, Inc. and Ron Parikh of Genghis Grill to get their thoughts on why some casual restaurants are hot while others are not. |

Rudeness in the Workplace
| |
| Contemporary business more resembles a paint ball exercise than a human service experience. Marketing ploys are spattered across the media in the hope of snagging our attention. However, we are in a global economy, and our social skills need remedial attention. Social skills have not been transferred to the last two generations as a group like technology has. For example, think about how many Gen X and Y’s know how to set a dining table or how to cut their meat.
News flash: high-level careers have been sabotaged by just such “unnecessary” information.
In the interest of “the bottom line” thinking that dominates American business, we’ve lost the most meaningful tool we have, the human connection.
I’d enjoy hearing your thoughts on observations and episodes you’ve had on the topic. Thank you.
PS—Put your napkin on your lap! |

Tell Them Why They Should Buy
| |
| A billboard caught my attention. It was a cut-away shot of a new minivan - the one with the pop-up table in the back. The billboard showed the interior of the van with four captain's chairs encircling the pop-up table with a headline that said "Your Table Is Served".

You're not that interesting!
| |
| Truth: You're not exciting or interesting enough for your customers go to the trouble of seeking you out. Why should they? You're predictable, measurable and safe - just like all your competitors. Your insights are second hand and you don't bring any WOW factor to the table. In fact, you're at the dinner table but you have nothing of any value to say. |

Currency Markets, Vegas-Style!
| |
| Let’s face it; the currency market is akin to the ultimate final table in the World Series of Poker. At that table, you have eight people sitting around, all trying to bluff one another. Some have large stacks of chips, while others are short-stacked. Some like to talk a little more than others, while others prefer to let their cards do their talking. Ultimately, there will be one winner. |

How To Use Articles To Increase Search Engine Position
| |
| One of the best ways to get a top search engine position is through articles. How do articles do this? As an example, say you were to approach a table with 5 people in a restaurant. You ask the table "Are any of you a musician?" and one person raises his hand. You will probably take his word. On the other hand, if everybody at the table points to that person, you are even more likely to take their word for it. That is how search engines work. |

I Blame…..
| |
| Here I am, sitting at home with the sun streaming through the windows and it is gone 7pm, what would I be doing now if I was in the UK???? Probably grappling with the traffic on the M25, or hunched over reports that had taken over my dining room table as well as my office room, the breeze is warm heralding the coming months of summer, the only blot on the idyllic picture is my green pool!!!! But hey life is not perfect is it??? Or should we be expecting life to give us happiness, and then we can also blame the Government, the neighbours, the children, the economy, our partner for all the things that are wrong in our lives too!! Great cop out, |

Authentic Communication: Dealing with Moose-on-the-Table
| |
| Imagine a team meeting around a conference-room table. They are reviewing progress and making plans. Charts are reviewed, slides are projected, documents are handed out, and calculations are made. Now imagine that standing in the middle of the conference-room table is a great big moose.
No one says a word about the moose. Everyone carries on polite and earnest conversation as if this situation is very normal. Meanwhile the moose is eating papers at one end of the table while plopping out moose pies at the other end of the table splattering a few participants' business suits. Team members are passing papers around the moose's legs. They shift in their chairs to make eye contact with each other under the moose's belly or to see past it to the front of the room. Papers need to be pried out from underneath the moose's huge hoofs. |
