Be a Sales Rock Star: Something for Nothing
When was the last time you gave a client something for nothing? If such a generous thought hasn’t crossed your mind in a while, you may be missing out on an opportunity to do a good deed while staying on the person’s radar. The simple act of giving may even increase the value of your business. What’s even more amazing is that some of the most valuable gifts and services are intangible, so they won’t cost you a penny. Providing a small, added service at the right time will set you apart in your client’s mind.

The Ethics of Service
Service works when it enriches the exchanges. Customers feel valued when the experience a service provider delivers something special to the encounter. But generous must be coupled with conscientiousness or it turns contentment into caution. And, a generous heart without an enthusiastic spirit risks leaving customers believing they have received a gesture without importance and a gift without worth.

The Value of Your Word
Dear Jane, Recently, I broke a promise to a colleague and didn’t complete my part of a project on time. Now she says she can’t trust me anymore. I think she’s overreacting, especially because I told her the reasons I was late. What else can I do? My 79-year-old mother received a letter from the Austrian Government a few weeks ago. You see, my mother, along with her family and many other Jews in Vienna, was forced to flee when the Nazis invaded in 1938. She was just 10 but she remembers clearly the name of the Nazi Commissar, Anton Kaiser, who stormed her family’s home and forced her father to sign over the deed to their apartment, her father’s life insurance policy, his business, and all his possessions.

Do It Because It Is The Right Thing
Have you ever met someone that you consider to be, or to have been, a really good person? I would imagine that after a few moments of quiet reflection you could probably name at least a few. What character traits do you think describe a good man or a good woman in our society today? Perhaps words such as kind, thoughtful, generous, giving and unselfish top your list. If so, I would agree – these are traits we would all expect a good person to possess, but there’s got to be more to it - and there is.

Small Business Tips: Turning Words Into Deeds
Deed is just another name for action. First you need to ensure you have thought and imagined the foundations of your business – getting clear on your products, services and customers. Next you need to have "inked" these thoughts into plans, brochures, web sites and copy. Finally you need to take action. Action is where you put your energy behind your thoughts. There are many sayings around the importance of action "You miss 100% of all shots you fail to take", "You've got to be in it to win it" and "The journey of 1000 miles begins with just one step" are a few of my favourites.

Create WE for Success
Successful people are competent when it comes to building strong lasting relationships with the important people in their lives. Giving with no expectation of return is one way to build relationships. In other words, don't think quid pro quo. This is a quid pro quo world: you do for me and I'll do for you. While there is nothing wrong in reciprocating a good deed or a favor, there is a fundamental problem with quid pro quo. It is reactive not proactive. Too many people wait for others to go first. Break that routine, and put yourself out there. Go first.
RIGHT THINGS BUILD YOU FOR LIFE TIME
Leaders are known for their strong character. Character is not what you have but it is what you are. This has a strong value. People like character but when it goes to deed and actions, they differ. They compromise with the logic that this all is ideology not practical. One has to be practical not ideological.

Striving for Greatness with Good Employees
Being an effective leader, striving for excellence and being inspirational is essential to creating a great company. There is no doubt that during these tough economic times that average is not good enough. Look around, if you have average performing employees that can't seem to reach the level of performance that is in alignment with your vision, "Now is the time" to do something about that. However, don't let great be the enemy of good. Good employees are not easy to find or replace. Yes, great employees are what we all would like to have but everyone can not be great. Sometimes good is good enough. Remember that when evaluating individual performance in your organization. Good employees can make your company great.

Do Good and Do Good for Your Business
Getting involved in a cause you believe in is not only good for yourself and the cause – it can also be good for your business. Yes, you can do good, and do good for your business, at the same time. Here are a few things you can do to leverage your involvement into positive marketing.

Instruments of Financing Real Estate
Most buyers of realty do not have enough cash to pay the full purchase price. Lenders want to be very certain they will be repaid. So they almost always require that the borrower give the lender the legal right to force the sale of the property if loan payments are not paid as promised. The three major instruments of finance used to protect lenders are the trust deed, the mortgage and the land sale contract.

The Changing Mix of Business Leadership
Guys we don't want to alarm you but there's a new boss in town and he's a she. Give them the right to vote and now they want to rule, run things. Heck of it is they're good at it...darn good at it! True you won't wake up tomorrow and females will be running everything but slowly, methodically they're getting positions of management, leadership. Good thing is they're doing a pretty good job. Bad thing is they aren't willing to go back to the "good ol days." Good thing is the good ol days weren't that good. Bad thing is treating them as an equal feels good.
