Lesson #3: Money May Have Much Worth, But It Has Little Value
When Giannini died at the age 79, his total net worth was less than $500,000. That was a lot of money for the time, but nowhere near the amount he could have accumulated had he been money hungry; he wasn’t. “Money itch is a bad thing,” Giannini once said. “I never had that trouble.”

Even George Washington Almost Got Canned Once
Did you know that in 1777, there was an effort to force George Washington to retire from the military service? I didn't -- until I took a look at Mark McNeilly's George Washington and the Art of Business: Leadership Principles of America's First Commander-in-Chief.

Pay Per Click and Search Engine Optimization – Excellent Unioin

Think and Manage Like a Winner; Defense is a Losing Strategy
Recessions over the past 64 years averaged 10 months from peak to trough. This one is 15 months old and there is no bottom in sight. Most employers are cutting "non-essential" expenses to preserve employee jobs. While compassionate, that is a death-knell for most businesses. So what's a business owner to do?
Yes We Can! The networking lessons businesses can learn from Barack Obama's successful election campaigns
Barack Obama's victories in both the Democratic Primaries and the Presidential election went against the predictions of many of the pundits.

Does Your Company Suffer from Cross-Generational Crankiness?
Boomers vs. Millennials: No it isn't a promo for Wrestlemania - it's a real and growing problem in the halls of commerce, large and small. Millennials, those children of the youngest (what I call "junior") Boomers, were given the moniker because they entered the workforce around the beginning of the millennium, and brought with them a whole new world of career demands and workplace expectations that, to put it kindly, is met unenthusiastically by the middle and senior Boomers still running the show. And if you're thinking "Who cares?" you aren't seeing the huge productivity-busting implications of a "generation battle" that saps morale, impedes the kind of seamless communication on which great customer service is built, and dissipates company loyalty. So, how do you prevent this melt-down, or undo the damage if it's already happening?
THE TOO SALESY PARADOX WHY PROFESSIONAL SERVICE PROVIDERS CANT SELL AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT
By John Doerr The distress is obvious. The complaints are frequent. The clear disdain for the activity is surprisingly unfiltered. What are we talking about? Selling, or more specifically, selling professional services. In conversation after conversation as I work with clients, conduct seminars, or network with my professional colleagues, I hear the same comments: Selling conflicts with my values as a professional. Selling gets in the way of building strong relationships. You have to have it in your genes - like a used car salesman. I don't sell professional services - I work with my clients to create the best solutions. People won't respect me as a professional if I am selling to them. I can't sell to them. What will they think of me? It (selling) is not what we do around here.

SERVICES SELLING I DIDNT RAISE YOU TO BE A SALESMAN
By Mike Schultz and John Doerr Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be salesboys Don't let 'em sell siding or drive them big trucks Have 'em be consultants and accountants and such. Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be salesboys 'Cause they'll never stay home or they're on their cell phone Even with family around. With all due apologies to Willie Nelson, I am sure this was the sentiment of most of our parents. Yes, be a lawyer or accountant or even (heaven forbid) a consultant, but please don't ever come home and declare, “Mom, I found my calling. I am going to be a salesperson!”

Disconnected Marketing in a Connected World
Many executives have an uneasiness about marketing they find difficult to articulate. In many companies, marketing is a group of "creative" people who spend lots of money on projects that have no measurable return on investment. They are a necessary evil rather than a source of competitive strength. If you share this sense of disdain, this article may help you articulate what you are feeling and provide some real answers to give you some direction in dealing with it.

How to Build Your Own Business
Every day, millions of Americans think about the “American Dream” and roll their eyes in disdain. Where is this American dream, and why don’t I have a piece of that glorious pie?

“Reaping Rewards From An Effective Referral System”
Let me pose a question to you that could really impact the growth of your business. Do you routinely and systematically ask for referrals? And if you do ask, do you enjoy doing it?
