Market Research: Living in the Real World of Business Depends on Comments from the Real World
| |
| In the feature film Sliding Doors, I found myself fascinated by a conversation between two friends. Gerry had just been discovered by his girl friend as he was having an affair in their bedroom. Gerry's friend laughs at him and reminds Gerry that he had told him weeks ago that the affair would end without Gerry having to do anything. Gerry's friend asks him, "Do you want my opinion?" Gerry replies, "Am I going to like it?" With a chuckle, his friend responds with, "No. It's based on reality."

Feeling Ignored
| |
| Dear Jane,
I get lost in a crowd, like I’m invisible. I pretend not to care and I know I make things worse by dressing in drab clothes. But I feel like I don’t matter to anyone. What can I do short of screaming, “Here I am! Pay attention to me!”
Being ignored—not feeling special or valued—is one of the most hurtful experiences to endure. Unless we’re so Britney Spears-like famous that we lose all privacy, I think all of us have felt invisible and ignored.
Given that the way you dress reinforces your pain, it’s likely that you have an old belief that you are unimportant. |

To know yourself, know your shadow
| |
| It is a common experience. You speak to a friend about some strong negative feelings you have about someone else. Your friend, being a true friend, says, "but aren't you a bit like that too?" You of course don't like to hear this, but it gets you thinking. Maybe you can be a bit like it too. That's a useful admission since it then helps you to manage that characteristic in yourself. This is the sort of self-awareness that is crucial to our growth, to get that the people in our lives are in some way a mirror of ourselves. The concept of the shadow, from Carl Jung, is one of the great insights from 20th century psychology that is invaluable to those of us who seek to build effective relationships with others. |

Everything Starts With A Conversation (Including Your Next Sale!)
| |
| Picture this. You're out having a coffee with a friend. An acquaintance of your friend happens to walk in and sits down for a few minutes to chat.
After you finish talking about the weather and last night's sports scores, the inevitable question comes up: "So, what do you do?"
You've got 60 seconds. What do you say?

Investing in the Invisible
| |
| If you’re a business owner, you might be surrounded by sea, but you know there is land out there somewhere and you are determined to find it. You are investing in the invisible – the land you can’t see yet is the land of your dreams, your goals, and your brilliant, successful future filled with riches, profits, and rewards. If you’re thinking of becoming a business owner, you’re thinking about investing in that same invisible, glorious dream. |

Needed - One More Friend
| |
| Somebody once said that a stranger is simply a friend you haven't met. The dictionary says that a friend is one who is attached to another by affection which leads him to desire his company, or one who has sufficient interest to serve another. |

Marketing The Invisible
| |
| Most people have no idea how much effort it takes you to do your work. Whether you’re a gourmet chef, a house painter, a web designer, or a graphic designer – the work you do is invisible. People judge its worthiness not on your effort, but on the result. Can you (and should you) market your invisible work? |

Our Fate is in Our Own Hands
| |
| A few years ago a friend had Ned, a small independent contractor, do extensive renovations to his home. Being a very fussy craftsman and cabinet maker, Ned did an especially superb job on the extensive woodwork involved in the renovation. About a year after completing the renovations, Ned bumped into my friend at the local hardware store. "The recession finally caught up to me," Ned told my friend. "I've had to lay off my crew and try to wait out this slow period."
