Your Style Can Predict If Franchise Ownership is Right For You
One way to become a business owner is through franchising and the franchise industry is at an all-time high. There are more franchised businesses than you can possibly imagine. A recent survey found almost 500 concepts in fast food alone, a category that represents only 20% of U.S. franchises.

MANAGING RISK
A risk management approach should continuously monitor risk through activities such as identifying, analyzing, mitigation planning, tracking, and controlling risks. Additionally, risk management programs balance the cost of risk occurrences with the cost of mitigation activities by prioritizing risks and the activities to mitigate risks.

Human Capital Formation by MNEs: Supporting Formal Education
While training is no doubt the major source of HRD activities undertaken by the MNEs, they can also contribute to the HRD of host developing countries by mobilising formal education. One of the MNEs that has invested substantially in formal education is Intel. They have invested in curriculum, educational equipment, infrastructure and technical support to almost all countries where they have production facilities, including Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, China, Malaysia, South Korea, India, Russia, Poland, Ireland and South Africa.

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.

Using New Event Marketing to Promote Your Small Business
Organizing an educational event such as a seminar or conference is a great way to get out of the office and network with prospective clients and promote your small business within your community. However, a traditional event marketing format presents some challenges to small business owners, including the costs of putting on an event, creating buzz ("Not another breakfast speaker series"), being able to offer attendees value, etc. So how can your small business take advantage of the benefits of educational event marketing while minimizing some of the risks and pressures associated with putting on a successful seminar or conference?

Reorganize your life
I recently read about this study conducted by Nobel Prize recipient Daniel Kahneman. He believed we would all feel a lot better if we spent our time more wisely. He conducted a diary study with 909 women in Austin, Texas. He asked them to record all the activities they did during the day and then rate how happy they were while doing them. He then had them narrow the list to their least favorite activities. Unfortunately those activities accounted for nearly half of the participants' waking hours. Not surprisingly his advice was fairly simple. He said "Reorganize your life to be in situations that you'd rather continue than stop."

What You Do Best
Each time you reconsider your market positioning, be sure to include a few exercises to hone in on what you do best in your business. You want to tease out those activities that you absolutely love to do and those activities you are the very best at in the world.

Off the Cuff --- Sales Execution
Execution involves the day-to-day activities of the salesperson. For most industries, this entails both planned, proactive tasks and opportunistic, reactive events that the salesperson uncovers by doing the right things in the right place at the right time. It's critical that the progress of the tasks in target action plans is carefully monitored to avoid surprises. This is the equivalent of monitoring your daily exercise before the effects start to show up on the scale. The SEP circumvents the most common mistake made in distribution today: trying to manage results. You must manage activities because it's the activities that produce results. Once the results are in, the horse is out of the barn and everything you do from that point on is reactive. If you proactively manage the activities, the expected results will follow.

How to fix sputtering marketing
Is your marketing generating a steady stream of sales leads ? If not, ask yourself this question: Do you have a marketing plan? You may know what your business goals and objectives are. And you probably have a website and are doing some advertising or promotion. But without a game plan, your marketing activities are reduced to a few unconnected activities that are unlikely to produce the results you want. A marketing plan helps you tie all your marketing activities together so you can create a roadmap that will lead you to your objectives. And a simple, one-page marketing plan will take you a lot further than no marketing plan at all.

Priorities and Schedules
Each of us on a daily or weekly basis somehow reduce our activities to a schedule. Some people use formal organizers or planners; others scribble notes on blank sheets of paper; and still others use obscure systems that defy description. But, in our own way, we each come up with a mental or literal "to do" list for the day. As we examine our list of activities each day, we generally prioritize them. That is, we determine which of these activities is the most important and which can wait till later if necessary.
