Refining Success: Standard Oil Takes Shape

Lesson #5: Turn Up the Volume to Tune out the Critics
BET might have gone on the air over twenty years ago, but it has no fewer critics today than it did when it first started. Indeed, throughout its lifetime, BET has been criticized from people all across the spectrum. From white conservatives to black liberals, BET had its enemies from all walks of life.

Inflection Points Bring New Retail Strategies
Might your retail segment be facing an inflection point, and if so, are you really prepared for it? Almost every company faces ongoing changes of one type or another in its industry, and retail is no exception. An inflection point occurs when an industry or segment faces lasting changes so large and significant that it calls for companies to adapt with a new strategy or ability to compete, or face what becomes an irreversible decline and failure. Such an inflection point may bring even greater opportunity than before for organizations who do figure out how to take advantage of it.

Small Business Loans for Women
Not only are the number of small businesses on the rise throughout North America, but so too are the number of women-owned small businesses.

We had TARP for residential, now comes commercial
The residential collapse has contributed to a record number of bank failures. Now banks are seeing commercial lending problems rise, centered around commercial real estate. Bankers, industry analysts and observers widely expect first-quarter 2009 data — scheduled to be released in the next few weeks as part of many lenders’ first-quarter reports — to signal a continued escalation in loan defaults from all forms of commercial borrowers, from the real estate at office parks, shopping centers and commercial building space to more traditional business borrowers. State banks, according to Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. data, reported a 15 percent increase in non-farm, non-residential loans — the regulators’ definition for all commercial loans — as nonaccrual loans within the last 90 days of 2008.

Leadership Starts With You!
Everything that is happening in a business is a reflection of the leader. Most leaders and observers will say that the problem is with someone else or with some department -- it is outside of them. However, if the leader looks closely at their own behavior, they will see the cause of the problem. Fix that and it will fix in other areas.

If you desire your employees to be honest, reliable, committed and responsible; then look at yourself and see what you are doing. Look for where you can improve and watch what happens. Start with the belief that you are an excellent person, a great leader that deserves success. Then do these 4 suggested exercises each day to create success.
