Top Tips on How to Jump into Personal & Professional Success

| Jumping high and forward is an inborn talent for survival of the African impala. The impala is known to jump about ten feet high. This high jump propels the impala to land about thirty feet from the spot where it starts. With this ability of vertical and horizontal jumping, the impala survives and thrives in the carnivore-infested savannas of Africa.

Today’s Women at Work have Unique Opportunities
| |
| Here’s a news flash: Women are poised to surpass men on the nation’s payrolls for the first time in American history. According to a recent report by the New York Times, four out of five jobs lost in the current U.S. recession belong to men—a consequence of the surge in layoffs within distressed, male-dominated industries, such as manufacturing and construction. This emerging workplace trend may ultimately be a momentous boon to women—shifting their power and influence, both at home and on the job. It also represents a new call to action for women—and employers. |

Franchise Your Business In India
| |
| What do businesses/companies seeking to franchise in india need to understand?
I am listing out a few components of the pieces of franchising they need to be aware of whilst franchising their businesses.We come across entrepreneurs everyday advertising their businesses and seeking franchisees, without being structured.Additionally on the other end we have international companies seeking entry into India and they generally have a clear mandate as to how they would want to go about expansion.The challenge is then to merge that requirement into what could work practically in the markets.What a individual businessman or a company seeking to develop franchise, need to put in place even before they started looking at their first franchise.Hence I am putting in a few basic points of franchising in India which could serve as a cursory. |

| With millions of Indians looking at starting a new franchise business annually, this would be a brief synopsis of how they can do so,either on their own or professionally.When we started franchise consulting a decade ago we hardly had a handful of reputed franchise businesses available.Today more than 1200 organized franchisees are available.along with atleast 3000-4000 businesses getting ready to franchise in the next 3-5 years,opening the industry to a variety of options.So how will entrepreneurs go about choosing a new business,how are they going to sort their franchise lists, how will they do the due diligience. As internet,technology and information is increasingly making it possible to know which ones are available, the challenge will always remain on the 'best business suitable.'Let me try answering this for you ahead. |

NIQCL is more than 5 cents.

| "Many failures in sales initially seem like a success to the rep! They get their perception of the facts, and propose a solution that makes sense to them. The problem is they didn't get the customer's perception of the facts, so their solution may not be sensible to the customer." |

Open Door - Right Direction?
| |
| Here’s a reader question:
Dan, My big goal is to start a business and I’ve taken the first few steps. My broad goal is simply to find a different job. It’s funny though – the more I work on my business plan, the more interviews and job opportunities come open to me. I’m not sure if it’s a sign that I’m really headed on the right track (and the other jobs are distractions) or if it’s a sign that there’s something else out there for me (just a different job, not my own business). How do you figure that out?

Opportunities KnockOr Do They
| |
| When we think of "opportunities", we often think of chance occasions that cross our path, or are presented to us. We don't think of opportunities as something we have to actively go in search for… because opportunity knocks on our door – not vice versa. Right? Wrong!

How To Strategically Use The News To Identify Create New Business Opportunities
| |
| Fortunately I am a very avid reader and follower of “the news.” I pay special attention to the business sections of various media and look for trends, and opportunities within the articles that are printed there. I have made a commitment to stay abreast of business news and can tell you that this has been a key strategy for my marketing efforts over the years.
You may say to me, “So What?” Well I can tell you that business opportunities for consultants and others are out there if you know how to identify them. I also know that most consultants do not use the news because they never used some strategic thinking to connect the events in the news to potential business. I am saying to you that once you know what to look for in the news, the opportunities will become apparent. And then those opportunities must be acted upon.
