Lesson #5: Turn Up the Volume to Tune out the Critics
| |
| BET might have gone on the air over twenty years ago, but it has no fewer critics today than it did when it first started. Indeed, throughout its lifetime, BET has been criticized from people all across the spectrum. From white conservatives to black liberals, BET had its enemies from all walks of life. But throughout it all, Johnson remained focused on his number one goal: to make his business profitable. Other than that, there was no criticism that could distract or deter him. |

Brokers, Dealers, Private Lenders, and Venture Capital
| |
| A broker is defined as anyone who makes securities transactions for others. (The exception to this is a bank.) A dealer is defined as someone who buys and sells securities for their own account, through a broker or otherwise.
Most entrepreneurs are looking for start-up capital and for someone else to raise capital for them on a straight commission, with no up-front fees. Only registered broker dealers, and Bona Fide employees, can legally solicit/sell securities for a company on straight commission, with no up-front fees. They always charge an up-front retainer, sometimes called due-diligence fees, before commencing. This fluctuates depending on the complexity of the transactions. Most brokers/dealers avoid startup and early stage companies. A Bona Fide employee cannot be paid commission from the sale of securities. |

| They are not on front pages. You may never read about them or hear their names in their playing days. But you will know their attachment to the sport they love long after those who had names on the front pages are long forgotten.

Is Your Marketing Penny-Wise Pound-Foolish?
| |
| A colleague of mine and I were having a conversation the other day about a marketing mystery. Isn't it odd that we spend so much time, money and energy trying to make a difference in the lives of our customers so we can earn a reasonable profit and yet, often, we're our own worst enemies when it comes to doing the things that will help us achieve that objective?
Even though many of us become knowledgeable about effective marketing strategies, somehow, some of what we learn never makes it to the front line - the point where our sales proposition is laid bare in front of our prospect for consideration.
This article identifies three things that could be hurting your marketing results along with some suggestions on what you can do to correct them.

Online Television: The Best of Both Worlds
| |
| With so many different digital mediums available to us at the moment, it was only a matter of time before someone began to merge and combine two of them together. It already happened with mobile phones and online social media, as the popularity of iPhones demonstrates to us. Then there is the Internet and television - two different mediums; one you use for all of your communication and information needs, the other is maybe more for entertainment use - something to sit down in front of after a long hard day, allowing you to mentally ‘switch off'. Yet considering how much time in a day we tend to spend in front of a computer nowadays, it's no surprise that online gurus are taking advantage of the popularity of television and have created Internet websites that allow you to choose which TV show or program you want to watch - on demand. |

Hosting Your Internet Presence - What Every Business Should Consider
| |
| Your online presence can be as effective as your bricks and mortar store front. If you don't have a bricks and mortar store front, then your online presence may be the best means for your customers to get in touch with you. A poor hosting provider may mean that your online presence is intermittent, slow or just not available for a percentage of the time. This would be like having a closed store front when your customers came to visit or not answering the phone - doesn't leave a good impression for the customer base. A good provider ensures that your online presence has high availability and great response times - leaving a much better impression for your customers.
This article is designed to help business owners decipher some of the technical jargon and work out what questions should be asked when choosing a hosting provider. |

Innovation Needs a Culture of Trust and Openness
| |
| The environment of most organizations is too poisonous for innovation and organizational learning to flourish. A mistake is generally a CLM - career-limiting move. Making a mistake in front of many managers is like cutting yourself in front of Dracula. So people become defensive. They cover up problems, set backs, and missed goals. |
