Managing Emotions Under Pressure
| |
| I got the following note the other day from a friend: After reading your latest post on Board Room Rules, I started thinking about the pressures that entrepreneurs experience starting, growing and managing start-up companies (whether it's their first company or their fifth.) So I wonder if you as an investor/board member/partner/cheerleader have ever had to counsel your entrepreneurs on this topic and if so what advice did you dispense? |

Rules of Sales Engagement for the Recession
| |
| We also discussed the economy - of course - and right now, there are some new rules of engagement. You simply have to work three times harder, three times smarter, find three times more opportunities and be three times more effective just to sell what you used to sell. That's it? No. In order to be three times more effective you must refine your strategies and expand upon your tactics. You must be more creative, quicker on your feet, more resourceful and more persuasive. You must ask better questions and more of them. You must be more powerful than ever before. Do that and you will survive. Do that consistently and you will thrive when the economy turns around and money loosens up. In the mean time, no short cuts! |

How I Called the Breakout in Gold Three Weeks Ago
| |
| Back in early January, I wrote an article that focused on a bubble forming in the Treasury bond market. Then on Jan 22nd-23rd, I wrote a “two part” article about why gold was going to break out to the upside soon. So what do smart investors do when they see all of this? |

As the Banks are tightening lending, Seller financing may be a great option to finance a business acquisition.
| |
| Since the start of the financial crisis last year, banks have stopped extending credit for virtually any loans including SBA type loans. It is very difficult for business buyers to get approved for financing, even buyers who have excellent credit, money down and collateral, which are the three major requirements. Of course this environment won’t last, but in the mean time there is a solution for both buyers and sellers and that is Seller Financing. |

Top 10 Home Service Franchises That Succeed During Recession
| |
| When the economy suffers, real estate sales inevitably slow down, and a by-product of this hit to the real estate industry is that more and more people want to protect their own investments and make upgrades to their homes, making home service franchises extremely viable in nearly any economic climate. |

“Time: Is It Our Enemy or Our Friend? Choosing Time as A Friend, According To Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach”
| |
| It is probably safe to say that many, if not most, people struggle with the management of their time. Time is priceless and we each are allotted the same 24 hours each day. However, it seems there is an eternal struggle with the clock and that we are very challenged in trying to mange out time. The sense of pressure and constant urgency at home, at work, and elsewhere in our daily lives leads to us believing that there is simply never enough time. Can we see that it is not time itself, but the use of time that presents us with our conflict?
So what can we do? How can we deal with this conflict and choose time as a friend? Succinctly expressed, It would mean that we make peace with time and declare time our friend. Here are seven (7) suggestions from your strategic thinking business coach.

The Gift of Time
| |
| Time is one of my favorite subjects. Time is actually the most precious resource we have. Everyone starts their week with the same amount of time. Time is not a discriminator nor does it have any favorites. Time is fair and always ready to serve anyone who understands it. How we use the time we are allotted each day will have a definite impact on our outcomes or results. We are stewards of how we invest our time each day. We must treat time as more precious than money. Being good stewards of time will unlock the key to success in our lives and businesses. |

Extreme Self Care - Taking Time For Your Life
| |
| If you’re like me, you’re almost always on the go. Whether you’re juggling projects at work, balancing your personal and professional lives, or being there for the people you love, your available time may constantly be stretched to the limits. When was the last time you really took some time just for yourself? I’m not talking about family time, time with friends or sleeping time. I’m talking about time that you set aside to do something for you that you really enjoy. |

Beware Time Liabilities
| |
| Are you surrounded by Time Liabilities? I define a Time Liability as:
a) anything that consumes time unnecessarily or
b) anything that causes you to spend time in activities that are less profitable than your most profitable activity.
If your filing system causes you to spend extra time doing $9 per hour clerical work, trying to find that important document you misplaced, then you have a Time Liability. If your workspace is so uncomfortable that you have to spend time at a chiropractor every month to correct your spine alignment problems, you definitely have a Time Liability! |

Fighting Time!
| |
| Do you feel you’re in a constant battle with time? Does time seem to be winning, no matter which technology, process, and system one uses? While the amount of time in a day, week and year remains the same, people are attempting to fit more commitments into the same finite time spans. After many years of observing and working with senior management, I have found a fundamental flaw in how they approach time. This flaw causes significant bottlenecks in their companies. Worse, their poor leadership regarding time strategies causes others to have problems with time. |

Are There Really Enough Hours in the Day to Be An Internet Marketer?

| I have been asked time and time again, how much time I spend as an internet marketer. While my answer may be a little bit different than others, they may also have different results.

Business, Politics and an Election
| |
| There is a revolution underway in our country and I hope that we find people who’ve managed in chaos before and gotten good results. I’ll borrow a couple of lines from the biblical book of Ecclesiastes. “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven; a time to get, and a time to lose, a time to keep, and a time to cast away.” |
