You Have No Frame of Reference Here, Donny
I pity taxpayers wandering into the credit crisis story at this point. It is absurdly complex, and centers on a subject that most people neither care about nor understand. And the last time they looked in they were told this was about subprime and housing, which it no longer is -- at least not in large part.
The Effect of Elections on Small Business
Over the years I have closely observed small businesses on the lead-up to an election. There are some very clear business trends that smart small businesses need to know and work within. Elections also provide businesses with a money-can’t-buy education on the latest in marketing trends. Let’s start with the business trends. The most obvious is a business to government slow down – by that I mean in the lead up to an election the incumbent political party goes into caretaker mode and generally will not make any significant decisions or grant major contracts. If your business is one that relies on government contracts – you need to plan for this slow down to kick in at least 6 months before the scheduled election due period.

Unfair Dismissal under Federal Labor Government
As outlined in its policy announcement prior to the election, Federal Labor has proposed changes to the unfair dismissal laws. We expect that the new government will commence to enshrine these changes in legislation early next year. However, things are not certain.
Government Releases Proposed Laws and Plan for National Employment Standards
This week (11 February 2008) the government released the Bill containing its proposed amendments to the Workplace Relations Act. If the Bill passes into law it will usher in the transition to a new system of industrial relations and workplace law. The Bill contains matters that had been foreshadowed in pre-election statements and announcements by the new government since it came to power last year.

Winding down to quality time
When you look back on this year what do you see? I think we all agree that it has been tough economically. Politically, there has been a huge change in the USA, with the election of the first black President. Celebrities have waxed and waned – we’ve seen Madonna’s come back tour and her divorce from Guy Ritchie. What about in your life? I hope you can see progress and success in your business and personal life. But how do we measure success? Are we valuing what is really important?

Creating Personal Success
Creating Personal Success ---- Every manager, every employee and every leader that has any drive at all strive to be successful. Success starts with self awareness. That means understanding your personal strengths and weaknesses. It also means having enough humility to work on those weaknesses. Both the Democrats and the Republicans were preaching change in the presidential election. I only mention that because I really like the buzz words --- "Yes We Can" that have been used by both campaigns during the Presedential election process.

Another Historic American Election
It seems like there's no story line that hasn't been done (to death) about today's U.S. election. But one that I've heard nothing about is that of parallels between this election and that of 150 years ago.

It's The Imaginary Economy, Stupid
It's a bit early, kind of, but the national media is really into this whole 2012 re-election campaign. And the eighty percent of national news personalities who tend to "lean forward" (possibly because it's much easier than trying to find and report actual facts) refer to it precisely as the "2012 re-election" because, well, they have determined that the president deserves your vote - again....
What A Beautiful Year
It was a weird year, and in many ways, a difficult year. It was a year of uncertainty, even a year of adversity for many people. It was a mean year for politics, a brutal year for business, and a disastrous year for the economy. But it was also a beautiful year....
4 Signs of a Successful Leader
In the USA, Republican Party campaigning for the next Presidential Election is well under way; in Australia we have constant reminders that some people want Federal Elections to be held now and, in Queensland we have a State Election imminent. What is common to all these is that whoever gets the top job in any of them will then be referred to as a “leader”. What is also common to all of them is that whoever holds the top job now is also referred to as “a leader” but one who, according to pretenders to the throne, is seriously flawed. It begs the question “How can we recognize successful leaders?”
Take Care Of Your Business, III
Lately, it's been all-the-fashion to talk about the "evils" of competition. Especially in America, where current election-year rhetoric features quite a bit of hot air about "fairness," "corporations are not people," and "shame on The One Percent," leaders play to the inner "Victim" of their constituents by claiming the government can make sure everyone gets their fair share of life's bounty....
