Financial Institutions Will Not Help Consumers With Credit!
This summer, after losing a significant source of supplemental income, backing out of a lease-to-purchase deal on a condo, and being in limbo regarding employment; I went into lock-down mode, and explored all possible ways to stay within my budget, protect my credit score, and prevent accumulating any new debt. This particular story is not even about the cumbersome fact that I, like many others, am completely "underwater" on my auto loan~this is about me trying to do the RIGHT thing in this Credit-Dependent Financial System we are living in, and getting nothing but sour grapes from a particular Financial Institution in Arizona.
The 'dark' side of selling - buyer beware
In the world of sales there has always been the following advice for customers and for good reason: Buyer beware Read the fine print If it's too good to be true then it is And so on. As much as I advocate for and encourage healthy, trust based, open transparent customer relationships I am fully aware of the ‘dark side' in the profession of sales. In my travels, sadly I hear of many stories about people being ripped off and taken advantage of often with no idea about what is happening to them until it's too late. All under the guise of selling.
Ten Commandments of Leadership-Not Being a Wimp
Wimp. Wiener. Coward. Spineless. Jellyfish. And more not fit to print. All are words used to describe someone who lacks courage. The courage to do the right thing. The courage to confront. The courage to object. The courage to take risks. The courage to take a different path. All of these are needed characteristics of effective and winning leadership. In all types of settings and in all organizational structures, leaders need courage and, more importantly, the good judgment when to utilize courage and when to stand down. As important as courage is, the ability to not fight a battle is equally important.

Leadership Tips for the Manager Who is Too Tough
Hard-nosed, high achieving managers tend to work long hours, do the work his or her team is supposed to do, be overly critical of others and not keep everyone informed. Despite this and perhaps to some degree because of it, they get great results in the short term. Unfortunately, this type of manager is often disappointed when the team is unable to achieve the desired results. The organization loses because talented subordinates may get burned out and leave or never get the development they need to become future leaders in their own right.

Copyright a Logo
When deciding to protect your logo or design it can be a bit confusing trying to decide how to protect it. After all, your logo is basically the face of your product line or your services so it makes sense that you'd want to do the right thing when it comes to ensuring that you have exclusive rights to it. The question is should you copyright your logo or trademark your logo? The answer, surprisingly, may be both.

The Essence of Ethics
It's difficult to define, exactly, what ethical behavior is; and it's impossible to measure. But we can sense when ethics are present in an individual or a company culture - and especially we sense it when they're not. Ethical behavior is a two-way street. Companies and customers cannot effectively engage unless there is trust between them. And, to my point in this article, neither can companies and candidates.
When Customers Lie – Don’t be Lead Astray
It's a sad truth, some customers don't tell the truth. They want time to decide, they are not sure about you, or they just don't want to put you on the defensive. Either way, don't get angry, get educated so you can adjust the way you talk to people.

But I am interested in learning about how successful companies got their start and grew over the years, and this book was very interesting and educational, and loaded with the most beautiful pictures of motorcycles that one could imagine. At one point there was a picture of the company’s value statements.
