Lesson #3: The Essential Lies in the Execution
When Huizenga was asked what he thought was more important in creating a successful company – the idea or the execution – he did not hesitate for a second to respond: “The execution, because there are many great ideas, but you must be able to execute to succeed.”

Don't make a bad deal
Here's what entrepreneurs and bizdev folks ought to remember before they do a deal:
Empathy
A flurry of unsolicited questions came in on Friday, including two "please review my blog" letters, and a "please review my book" package. (For the record, I'm totally useless at reviewing your blog, sorry.)
How To Use Articles To Increase Search Engine Position
One of the best ways to get a top search engine position is through articles. How do articles do this? As an example, say you were to approach a table with 5 people in a restaurant. You ask the table "Are any of you a musician?" and one person raises his hand. You will probably take his word. On the other hand, if everybody at the table points to that person, you are even more likely to take their word for it. That is how search engines work.
How to Do a Lousy Job at Business Networking Follow-Up
Neither the salesperson or the prospect wants to be inundated with follow-up that doesn't serve to advance any decision or relationship. More of a spiel, more talk about "me, me, me", less and less additional value will assure you not to get any response.
Why Market Research Will Help Your Business
You don't have to hire big expensive market research firms. It's easy to gather and evaluate information on your own, with no cost.
Forming a Successful Sales Team
Perhaps the greatest change in organizations today is the shift from independence to interdependence, from individual efforts to teaming. Teamwork is having a profound impact on selling. Many companies today leverage the synergy of teams by sending two or three team members to sell an account. This is especially true when accounts represent significant revenue or when the team will be cross-selling various products. If you're thinking about bringing in a selling partner, or if a sales team is about to be formed, consider these ideas when setting up the team:

Dealing With Over-Rated Confidence In Employee Performance Reviews
With good employee performance review processes, you have the employee complete a self rating before you meet. Generally many employees rate themselves quite hard, or on par with your views of their performance. But what do you do if the person has rated themselves as exceptional on many areas and you think they are borderline competent (at best)?

EXPLORING POTENTIAL
There is no knowing what the limits of human potential are, but we are certain that most of us are not living up to our potential. One person’s potential may differ from another’s, so the possibilities for each of us vary – but whatever the possibilities are, many of us are functioning below our potential.
Business and Friendships: Keeping the Lines Divided
Can business and friendships happily co-exist? Certainly, if the lines are not crossed and respect is given from both sides. Much too often ill feelings can arise when friends attempt to do business with each other. One person crosses the line with their expectations of what they feel should be acceptable behavior because of their friendship with the business owner. I hear time and time again how this has happened to many business owners, especially women in business.

Just Be Yourself
You find yourself playing different roles according to what you are doing or who you're with. You try to be one type of person at work, another type of person with friends, another person at home, when you're driving a car,or perhaps when you stand up in public to speak. All these hats we wear every day. The big question is when are you really you? What would happen if you allowed the real you to stand up in every situation you faced? There is a person you were born with all the abilities, talents and skills you need to be that person. This article suggests some ways in which you can learn to enjoy just being yourself.

The truth is out there! How to take advantage of it
I find the concept of truth fascinating. Just like one person’s act of terror is another person’s freedom fight, one person’s truth is another person’s fantasy. Rumours are sometimes said with such conviction or spread so far that they become a “truth” no matter what the reality is. Without getting too political, the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq is a classic example of a truth that was fantasy. Can we make our version of the truth and if we can will this help us in life and business?
There's No Such Thing as a Balanced Life
If you’re a coach, a business person, a busy person, an overwhelmed person… you're probably seeking what the 'experts' call - balance. While this sounds great, it's an unrealistic term that sets you up for failure. Find out how just eliminating two words can make your life exciting, successful and relaxed.
Reach Your Reader: How to Make Your Letters a Success
Letters—and even e-mails—are person-to-person communications; they are usually written by one person and read by one person. They have the power to win you’re your reader like no other marketing material can. However, there is no such thing as a routine letter. As soon as you start to regard external correspondence as just a task that needs to get done, your letters may lose their personal touch and competitive edge.

How to Think and Dream Creatively: The Magic of Thinking Big
The only difference between a successful person and a non successful person is in the way that they think. Knowing that, if you could learn how to think like a successful person, wouldn’t that be a good investment in time? In re-reading The Magic of Thinking Big by David J. Schwartz I realized that it is one thing to say “think like a successful person,” and it is another thing to know just exactly how to do that. “When you believe, your mind finds a way to do.” Schwartz suggests the following ways to help teach yourself how to think and dream creatively as successful people do:

Relationships and Communication: Sender vs. Receiver
In relationships and communication, who’s more responsible for avoiding misinterpretation, the person speaking or the person listening? The answer depends on which of the 6 innate Perceptual Styles describe the person speaking-and which one describes the person being spoken to.

The Challenge of Hiring
Interviewing a new job candidate sounds easy. After all, you are in control. You have something to offer. You can select anyone you choose to select. Right? That sounds good but in reality interviewing a person to fill a job opening is one of the more difficult tasks you may face as a manager. It does require specific skills to do it right and increase your chance of hiring the ideal person for the job; the person that will stay and fit in with the culture of your company. Whether you employ one person, or five hundred, choosing the right employees can be a challenge. How do you k now for sure which person you interview is the right one for your company?

Making The Shift From Entrepreneur To Business Person
When is a business person not a business person? When that person is a narrow focused entrepreneur, brimming over with ideas and concepts and starting one project after another with hardly a breath in between.
The Sandwich: I Won\\\'t Bite
In \"Management 101,\" you were probably taught to tell a person something difficult by using the \"sandwich\" approach where you say nice things to the person before and after the difficult part. The theory behind the sandwich approach is that if you couch your negative implication between two happy thoughts, it will lessen the blow and make the input better tolerated by the person being coached. The problem is that this method usually does not work, and it often undermines the credibility of the person using it.
