The Secret to Increasing Business Results
There are many paths to being an entrepreneurial business owner, and many of them may feel 'accidental'. Somehow customers find you for something you didn't think of as valuable, or you fall into having a business through inheritance or just doing what's fun as a college kid that just kept going.

DOING BUSINESS WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT – PART 1
The FAR is a body of regulations which is the primary source of authority governing the government procurement process. The FAR, which is published as Chapter 1 of Title 48 of the Code of Federal Regulations, is prepared, issued, and maintained under the joint auspices of the Secretary of Defense, the Administrator of General Services Administration, and the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Can present day PWGSC woes be traced back to a 1995 article on the General Services Administration in the US
“Of all the agencies and departments that have been discussed for privatization this year, the GSA would be one of the easiest to privatize. Its many services are available from the private sector, whose more successful firms offer a blueprint for how a privatized GSA could survive and thrive in a competitive environment. Moreover, because of the routine and commercial nature of most of its operations, as well as the performance benchmarks provided by its private sector counterparts, GSA is amenable to forms of privatization that allows for substantial and active participation by the existing federal workforce.

Project Management for Internet Marketing: What Is A Project?
Creating a new web site is a project; managing that site once it's up and running is operations. Seems clear enough, right? Those of us who live in the real world know that very often it's hard to tell when the project stops and operations begins.
Sales Management Training Tips: Sales Coaching vs. Admin?
After my last blog 5 Ways to Gauge Your Sales Managers’ Coaching, I heard from several clients. One VP of Sales loved the article and asked for copies for his Directors of Sales. Two heads of sales from different companies liked the post but did not want to send it out to their frontline sales managers because of my comment (see below) that coaching was more important than administration. Neither wants their sales managers to feel that it is OK to spend time in the field and avoid administration.

Why everybody lives by selling something – part 2
For some time now I have been testing the concept of ‘everybody lives by selling something' with almost everyone I meet, including senior leadership teams (comprising of HR, Finance, IT, Operations, and Sales), primary school teachers and administration staff, senior banking risk professionals, and health professionals (including my podiatrist and GP). I am curious to see how people respond and how they see themselves in relation to the concept of ‘everybody lives by selling something'. Often when one mentions the words ‘selling' or ‘sales' you can see people visibly recoil in disgust, with many immediately saying something like "I don't sell" or "It's not my job".

A Smooth (Business) Operation
Every business has its operations, whether they are highly organized, in disarray, or somewhere in between. Your business operations are HOW you design, produce, deliver, support, and maintain the products and services your business offers. The purpose of having business operations is to document, manage, and improve repeatable processes and systems that make your business sustainable, efficient, and profitable.

Underwater Mortgages: The Inside Story
So how did so many American homeowners end up with underwater mortgages? Let us tell you a little story . . . In the beginning, there was the Clinton administration. And that administration, and the Congress that went along with it, told the banking industry that they had to find a way to make home ownership possible for people who couldn't afford it.

I Hate MBAs/Redux
Just a thought: Who, in their Right Mind would grow up desiring to be a "Master" of "Administration"? (E.g.: "I can file faster than you can! And prove it! After all, I'm a Master of ADMINISTRATION!")
Your Rules of Business
Do you have a set of rules that you use in your business, that go beyond just operations? These may or may not be something you'd add to your business plan, but do need to be integrated into your operations. They are the standards, and guidelines for how you do things, to what standard, and why. And hiding behind the position of being 'creative' does not excuse you from having these - in fact, creative type managers and entrepreneurs need these the most!

Lining Up The Pillars Of Your Strategy: Syncing Strategy With Operations
Is your organization’s strategy embodied in your business operations? How confident are you, as the champion of your strategy, that it is on track within the layers of your business operations? Strategy alignment is the synchronization of strategic goals with operations and execution tactics. Strategy “misalignment” occurs when operational initiatives are not in sync with the defined strategic goals of the organization. Most organizations inherently suffer from some amount of immaturity and unsophistication in their planning process, and this directly leads the the misalignment issue you want to avoid.
