What Are You Worth?
I’ve always thought that sales reps have an invisible dollar sign $ above their heads with a number that represents how much money they think they are worth. It is this financial image that determines how they perform more than any other single factor. It’s more important than what the economy is doing, or how their leads are, or what their territory is like or anything else.

The Workplace 2020
I cannot believe that I am writing anything about the year 2020. It almost sounds like a science fiction movie title and yet it is only ten short years away. I say "short" because this past decade flew by at an inconceivable pace in my own mind. The reality of the present is that 2020 is just around the corner and the corner is getting closer as we speak.

The Facebook Future
Almost twenty years ago, the President of the company that I worked for made the statement, "If I catch any of my managers wasting time on a computer, I will fire them!" I can still recall the days of memorandums that copied others as the primary form of internal business communication. Wow, so much has changed so fast that it is almost impossible to absorb.

Entrepreneur Education: Hype Will Not Help You Succeed
Think of it this way, "the laws of attraction won't pay the mortgage". Too many of us were so busy wishing on a star we kept our heads buried in the sand as the economic skies were falling around us. So, the big question now? What is there to replace the frilly advice often filled with cotton candy?

Can the Bully Become a Leader?
Did you ever work for anyone who points his finger toward you like they want to poke out your eyes? Did you, or maybe do you, work for someone who is always telling you what is not working and rarely acknowledges what is working? Have you ever reported to someone whose negativity is like a cloud over every sunny day? Welcome to the world of the persecutor/bully boss. There seem to be so many of them out there, especially during this time of economic tension. The big question is "Do you stay and suffer or leave?"

Dust off Your Goals, Air Your Dreams
Recently I was going through some old boxes in my garage and came across one of my first courses that I did in psychology, which was the one that turned a corner in my life. As you can imagine that was a few (well ok many) years ago. As I sat on the floor with papers and bits all around me, I started reading what I had written about my dreams, hopes, worries and life at the time.

Asia Rise in Global Crisis - Managing post-crisis and Trends to watch
The sub-prime scheme conceived in the 1990s to make homes more affordable was filled with potential pitfalls. Socialistic measures simply could not fit into the capitalistic system. Furthermore, eager homebuyers were fooled by Wall Street sophistication who expounded the false assumption that home prices would keep on rising at an average 8% per year in the United States. Expectations were boosted by easy loans with cheap interest.

2011 - The NEW Normal
It’s not a great depression, neither is it a great recession we’re going through now. It is a great compression, as economy built on perceived value reconciles with actual value. A great restructuring of the economy and society, starting with a fundamental change in our relationships - how we are linked and intertwined and how we act. This financial crisis forced many to change their lives in ways large and small. It's with more belt-tightening, less income and, in many cases, a newfound gratitude for the most basic human comforts: family, home and health. After all, life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. There are a lot of aspects of the situation that are really unique to this recession that we haven't seen in recent decades. We don't know how fast we pull out of it, although it does look like we have hit bo

Today may be the most important day of 2012
Today is November 15th. I don’t know if that’s significant on your calendar but it is on mine. For many years now I’ve made it my plan to have my goals completed for the upcoming year by November 15th.
Download a template or see a lawyer?
You are about to enter into a business deal but you have been burned before: you know you need a legal agreement to protect your interests but you are faced with a dilemma.

Why are you burying your talent?
A miser, to make sure he controlled all his wealth, sold all that he had and converted it into a great lump of gold, which he hid in a hole in the ground. Then he repeatedly went to visit and inspect it.

When the miser returned and found the place empty, he wept and tore his hair.

Last Friday night the group attending Kent Julian’s Speak It Forward Bootcamp was gathered in his living room.

What does My Future Hold?
If we spend the majority of our mental and emotional energy in the past looking for answers, for happier times, or for redemption, we will perpetuate that energy continuum into our future. Alternately, if we spend the majority of our energy in the future, we miss out on the divinity and clarity available to us in the present. Presence allows us to be aware of our life force, our beingness, our infinite potential, our vision, our divine mission and values, our unique gifts and talents and so on. In aligning with the energy of creation, we allow ourselves to fully embody our "creation" story which holds the unique frequencies of our soul, our purpose, our ancient wisdom and divine talents, our harmonic structure and our plan of divine evolution.
Should I get a business loan?
“Dan, Thank you for all that you do. I would like to know what your opinion is on getting small business loans. It takes me a while to put money to the side from my regular job to invest in my businesses. I have tried buying wholesale collectibles on ebay to resell and also affiliate websites but found the long hours and no return on investment in the beginning hard to overcome.

Leadership Development in Different Cultures - What Do we Want from Future Leaders?
As organisations find themselves in places where maps of past experience and cultural biases are not very helpful they need to think what that means for the leaders they want to appoint or develop. Future leaders need to quickly see and understand the underlying assumptions about how the world works in a given community or culture and make a judgment call on how to work with this if it differs greatly from how their own organisation "does life". ClearWorth's research with several major international organisations has revealed two factors or competencies that seemed to capture what they were looking for in the people who would be helping the organisation achieve its objectives in these "brave new worlds".
Leadership Development in Different Cultures - What's Your Leadership Model?
As organisations seek to recruit and develop talent in emerging markets, specifically in positions of leadership and management, the question of a culturally acceptable base model for such development includes considering what such things as "leadership" represent or mean to the host culture.Leaders need to learn how to have conversations with their people in ways that achieve the organisational objectives and respect the cultural influences.

Help for Achieving Your Goals: The 9 C's
Humans seem to be naturally goal oriented. We look to the future as the place where we can have more of what we want in our business and our lives. Goals are what help us bring the future into focus. By knowing where we're going, it makes decisions a lot easier and produces better results. In addition to determining where we are now versus where we want to be at some specified time in the future, I find it's helpful to understand the goal achievement process in terms of sequential conceptual stages. This offers another way to look at what might otherwise seem straightforward and colorless.
