The vast majority of individuals operate from what they already know based on personal knowledge, experiences, values, and beliefs attained throughout their growing years. They see the world through lens colored with their limiting perspectives. Organic leaders consciously or unconsciously have a vision that is bigger than them. They ask questions beyond what they know and what is universally known. Their inquiries stem from curiosity. One of the questions may start with: “I wonder.”

Lesson #2: Know Yourself
In order to succeed, you need to know what you are good at. A talent, according to Lucas is “a combination of something you love a great deal, something you can lose yourself in – something that you can start at 9 in the morning, look up from your work and it’s 10 o’clock at night – and something that you have a natural ability to do very well.”

“In the modern world of business, it is useless to be a creative, original thinker unless you can also sell what you create,” said Ogilvy. “We sell – or else.”

Lesson #1: “There’s no genius behind it. It’s persistence and listening to people.”

Who’s Coaching You on Your Path to Success?

Well, today, coaching has moved into the business and personal realm to include coaches who have succeeded in your area of interest – and who can help you traverse this same path or even one far greater.

Sorry to have been away so long

Yes, I do apologize. To be frank (right now I wish I was anyone but me, yes, even Frank) I have been on the mend. The last tour just about wiped me out and then this nasty speaker’s curse, the curse of the throat, plagued me for weeks. Harsh, cough, gravel, hurt. All of that and more. Which of course affected the rest of me…will I ever be able to speak again? Oh, my goodness, is this it? Am I on my way out? Weak, weak, weak. You get my point.

Lesson #5: “We’re holding on to the ship with our fingernails”
“I remember Ev going home one weekend and coming back with this genius plan for Odeo, and he asked me to read it,” recalls Stone. “It was this whole plan for how we could make it a successful business. I thought wow this is genius, but then again so is podcasting. Then slept on it. Do we want to be kings of podcasting? We were constantly gut checking.”

Waiting To Wait - Emerging From 2009

For those of you running or owning a small business and you survived last year, I’ve got news for you. Surviving 2009 and 2008 for that matter was a monumental task and I applaud those of you that are still viable. But if you were waiting for the economy to normalize so you can get back to doing business the way you had in the past, that just won’t work again.

A Message for Instructional Designers - Learning Styles Are Important

I recently had a casual conversation with a guy responsible for checking aircraft engines for cracks in the metal casings. A pretty critical job you might think-particularly if, like me, you fly a lot on business. I was interested in the quality tool and systems he uses in his job “Six Sigma? SPC? ISO 9000? “ I inquired. “I sat through all that stuff in class,” was his response, “but I really didn’t understand it or pay attention”. He thought for a second and added, “but I know I can detect a hairline crack on a piece of metal from 100 yards!”

The Pros, Cons of Working, Playing in the Clouds

Don't you just love all the fun, the advantages, the freedom, the freakin mystery of the cloud? Look up -- they're light, they're fluffy, they're everywhere. Heck they're even green, ecofriendly...right? But ever so often something is dark on the horizon and the sucka comes roaring in and does some serious damage. Or it can sneak up quietly and SPLAT! slap you where it hurts...really hurts. Cloud computing is like the last wild frontier (sure we'll have more but cloud computing/storage is one biggie) where anything, anyone can go...and it does/they do. It isn't for the faint of heart and it isn't for the dumb ones but it sure attracts them like flies.

How hiring a PR firm can produce business for franchises

Just as you, as a franchise professional, know how to set people up with their own business, public relations professionals know how to drive customers to your business. PR professionals know how to gain publicity, utilize social media, plan campaigns and much more and if you have the financial ability to do so, you should let them do it. No sense in using all of your time to try to write and distribute a press release when a PR firm could do that in a much better fashion. Here I discuss why I believe it is beneficial to people in the franchise industry to hire a PR firm if they have the financial ability to do so.

Is Ford's auto-xchange the "Real Deal?" (Survey Response 5)

In a recent video that was released by The Ford Motor Company, Ford's Vice President and Chief Information Officer, Jim Yost indicated that the company has to "share information in real-time" and therefore can no longer use "the sequential processes” in which there were many “handoffs" and "transfers of information." Yost also emphasized the fact that Ford needs to "integrate much more closely with their customers, supply base and even internally," as well as stressing the importance of making information available to multiple levels of their supply base "simultaneously," thereby eschewing the current "cascade processes that might take days, weeks and even months" to disseminate.

Are You Too Smart to Succeed

When we worked in our educational consulting business in Germany many years ago, parents came to us because their kids were not able to get the grades they wanted. When working with these children we saw the following scenario played out over and over again. These children weren’t slow learners or stupid, they were actually too smart. When taking an exam these brilliant students would see so many complex ways to answer test questions that their answers were far too complicated. The teachers who evaluated their test could not make sense of these advanced answers and the students received failing marks as a result. Similar to these children many business owners do not realize how much more they can accomplish when they simplify their thinking and focus only on one idea at a time.
