Leadership or Friendship or Both
| |
| I believe I can say from my parent’s generation that there was almost a “hands-off” approach between the leader in a company and the employees; and most employees seemed to want the separation. I also know when I first entered the world of management this atmosphere was still in place. I’ve watched it gradually change over the years. |

Who a“R”e Your Friends?
| |
| Most people don’t have problems making friends. The challenge we all have is finding friends that aren’t detrimental to our dreams and desires. We offer friendship to many people but may soon find the association isn’t healthy for our future or us. |

Change Your Friends
| |
| You will only be as successful as the people you associate with the most. So take a look around you and see if you are living up to your potential or limiting yourself to the potential of your closest friends. If not, you might want to consider a change in your social scene. Don't let your current close associates be the ones that are pulling you down or holding you back from reaching your highest dreams and goals. |

| |
| Over the years, I have observed people who are real friends and people who claim to be friends. As I get older, I truly believe the old saying that you can count your real friends on one hand.

In observing your relationships with other people, whether they are family members, people you went to school with, coworkers, or colleagues, how many of them are real friends? How many of them possess the following characteristics I feel contribute to or reflect real friendships? |

The Dark Horse of Success: Cowell Becomes a Hit
| |
| Now that Cowell had started his company, he needed to find an artist that would help take it to the top. That was when he met Sinitta, an aspiring pop singer, who Cowell immediately both asked out on a date and signed a contract with. In little time, her single “So Macho” had become a smash hit in the UK. At the same time, Cowell struck up a friendship with successful producer Peter Waterman and, in his own words, “followed him around like a dog,” in order to learn as much as he could about the industry. |

Lesson #4: Two Heads Are Better Than One
| |
| In seventh grade gym class, the two self-proclaimed “slowest and fattest kids in the class” found themselves trailing all of the other students on the track. “Coach was yelling at us, ‘Gentlemen, you have to run the mile in seven minutes or you will have to run it again,’” recalls Greenfield. “Ben then responded, ‘Coach, if I didn’t run it in seven minutes the first time, then I’m sure not going to run it in seven minutes the second time.’” |

One of those ideas related to the management and treatment of his workers. |

Wikipedia for Patents
| |
| John Funk, an entrepreneur (I’m an investor in John’s newest company – Evergreen IP) and friend has a innovative proposal up concerning changing the rules on the current patent system. I’ve been on both sides of the patent aisle with John – we like to joke that early on in our relationship John’s company sued one of my companies (and then my company sued John’s company back) for patent infringement (the companies settled several years later for a cross license and $1 – much to the delight of the lawyers who got all the bucks.) Fortunately we got past all that crap and have developed a nice friendship. |

When You Say The Wrong Thing
| |
| Recently I hosted a dinner with a great group of friends and people I wanted to meet. One of my guests was a particularly good friend, a guy I care about and respect deeply. Until recently, this guy was a high profile CEO. But due to politics, he was let go - despite the fact that everyone knows he's a total superstar, both in his performance at that company and in every position prior. |

Why Professional Experience Hinges on Personal Value
| |
| The personal value attached to the people you do business with directly affects your professional experience. Treating others with the same respect and dignity you’d expect isn’t the bench mark in business. Try treating complete strangers as though they were your closest friends and you’ll immediately become valuable to them.

Are Your Expectations Known to You?
| |
| We enter the world with high expectations. Somehow we know our parents will feed us, and look after us until we are able to look after ourselves. We attend educational institutions and know that the teachers are paid to teach us. We then enter the world of career choices, we find the perfect job for us and then, well it all falls apart. |

10 Steps to Getting More Referrals
| |
| At my workshop, web cast or tele-class I have people tell me their business comes from word-of-mouth marketing. Wouldn’t it be great to have even more referrals coming your way? Just think of never having to make an outbound cold call, or work endlessly at designing your next winning marketing piece. More often than not, we merely need to create a communication plan of action to simply generate endless referrals. |

Ever heard of LoveSelling Read on despite the name
| |
| Some entrepreneurs don't see themselves as sales people, because 'sales' is an unpleasant activity for them. Yet, their very existence depends very much on a successful sales strategy. My approach is 'positive sales' - a consultative approach to focusing on providing service first and selling next. Coincidentally, a German Business Guru has come up with a similar idea: he calls it "Love Selling"! |

Business and Friendships: Keeping the Lines Divided
| |
| Can business and friendships happily co-exist? Certainly, if the lines are
not crossed and respect is given from both sides. Much too often ill
feelings can arise when friends attempt to do business with each other.
One person crosses the line with their expectations of what they feel
should be acceptable behavior because of their friendship with the
business owner. I hear time and time again how this has happened to
many business owners, especially women in business. |
