Customers that care
I visited the new Apple store in NYC on 14th Street yesterday. This one isn't as flashy as the one in midtown, and it has a fairly annoying design flaw. The two front doors don't close. Push them open, walk away and the door stays open.
Should you fire the voice mail guy?
Let's say the person in charge of your retail operations does the following every single day:

Build a New Kind of Wealth - Social Capital
To amass financial capital, you need to first build social capital. "Who" you know is far more important up front than "what" you know. Learn from a woman the Chicago Tribune calls a "networking expert" how to build your network of "knob turners", keeping in mind that you need to open doors for them as well.
Picking Warren Buffett’s Brain: Notes from a Novice
“Excuse me. Where is the most difficult to reach microphone?” I was out of breath from running up the steps but had managed to find one of the microphone stands, manned by two headset-wearing volunteers. More than 10,000 people had waited on the sidewalks overnight to be first in the doors of the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder meeting, and I had made a choice: I would go for the mics instead of the front row.

Franchising First Steps
I’VE BOUGHT A FRANCHISE. NOW WHAT? So you’ve bought your franchise and are ready to get started. Before you open the doors and start welcoming customers, you’ll need to have everything ready to go. New franchisees will usually have a lot of help for their Franchisers, but it’s good to be ready for what is coming. From training your employees to securing a location and mastering the skills you’ll need to manage the business, there are a lot of preparatory steps. These things take time and effort, and all of them must be completed before you can actually start doing business. Here is a list of some of the steps you’ll have to take, and issues you’ll need to be ready for when you are getting set to open the doors of your new franchise:
Is Your Business a Front-runner?
Creativity in marketing is crucial if you want to join the ranks of the front-runners. • A front-runner business constantly improves its selling skills and techniques. • A front-runner business is the customer’s first choice. • A front-runner business is designed to make a profit.
The Serendipity Factor
Incredible things happen independently of those you personally create. I call these serendipitous blessings. When you're pushing hard on door A, someone or something opens door B. Often, when you look through door B, what's behind it is much better than what you were going after in the first place. However, you wouldn't have seen door B open if you hadn't been in the hall pushing on door A. Get in the here and now and look for the other opened doors, or go open some doors on your own.
Small Business Growth: Recession Rescue Strategies
This week alone, I have heard from two business owners going "under"... literally closing their doors and, of course, blaming the economy. I must say that both of these companies started out with overwhelming debt, and neither had shown a month of profit since opening their doors. They were both open BEFORE the "recession" hit. Both invested heavily in traditional marketing. Both inquired about hiring a business coach, but never felt it worth the investment. THIS is the Darwinian-like "thinning of the herd" that we will continue to observe in "tough times". But you don't have to be one of those eliminated... So, what can you do NOW to rescue your own business today?
Finding Your Marketing Comfort Zone
So, you’ve got something to say that you think others will find valuable. You’ve created an information-based product and coaching services to enhance and optimize its value. And people are knocking down your doors to buy! While the first part may be true, getting people to knock down your doors to buy from you is the result of finding your marketing comfort zone, which best reflects your services, products and personal gifts and talents.

Learn public speaking and communication skills in a dojo
Have you ever felt nervous in front of a crowd? How about in a situation where they expect you to be a leader? Many people lack the confidence to believe that they belong in front of a group, especially a group that expects leadership of them. Unfortunately for these people, leadership skills and confidence in front of a group are key elements of becoming successful in life. Many opportunities for success financially, socially or otherwise, come from having charisma. There are many ways to build self-confidence, and subsequently your charisma, but which method is most worthy of your time?
Close the door on Opportunity?
Now you have been to this hallway before – but at that time there were some doors open, and some closed. And behind one of those doors you know is Grandfather’s study – and you have been told not to go in there. Standing at the top of the stairs, you know you must make a decision. How you wished Grandmother had been clearer on her instructions!
