Lesson #5: Have a Message
Estee Lauder Inc. was not just about beauty products. Lauder wasn’t just creating skin creams to help get rid of wrinkles or perfumes to make you smell good; there was a deeper message to her products. And, it was a message that helped her successfully sell her products.

Estee Lauder Beautiful
It may be one of the greatest ironies of the beauty industry that one of its key shapers in the 20th century actually wished there had been no need for the industry or a demand for the products she was creating to exist. Today, Estee Lauder Companies are responsible for more than half of the sales of beauty related products throughout the U.S. However, according to its founder Estee Lauder, beautiful women were those who understood that beauty wasn’t in the skin creams they applied or the scents they wore, but rather that it was in their attitude; the world could tell when women felt beautiful on the inside.
The Art of Firing
A few weeks ago I covered the topic of laying people off. In a sense, this is an easier process because it usually happens in bad times, and it doesn’t single a person out. A firing, by contrast, can occur in good times as well as bad times, and it’s highly personal.
Building the Perfect Board Package

The Twitter Lesson: No Business Plans Please
Seeing that Twitter closed a funding round, and spotting the associated incredulity about Evan's company not having a business plan, reminded me of something: Whatever your feelings about Twitter, business plans are overrated, and profits perhaps even more so.

Tips on Avoiding Foreclosure
In today's financial market, there is no wonder why so many more people need to know how to avoid foreclosure. When someone wants to avoid foreclosure, the most obvious thing would be that they just need to make their payments on time without ever being late.

Being able to avoid foreclosure can sometimes be a little tricky and there are several things that need to be considered.

Reprogramming Thoughts for Instant Success
Take a guess at the following question. How much time do you spend thinking about positive things versus negative things? Also consider the amount of time spent discussing days that are less than perfect, spouses who are less than perfect, and co-workers who are never perfect. Does it seem like 50-50, 20-80, or 80-20?

Small Business Tips – It's Never The Perfect Time
Many people wait for things to be “perfect” before they pursue their dreams and goals. They wait for the perfect conditions, the perfect attitude, and the perfect time of year. They really want to achieve their goals … but the time just isn’t right. In business they wait to take action on things they need to do to grow their business until they have their strategic plan in place, until staff turnover settles down, until they stop being so busy, until they get a few more clients. They really want to get around to taking the actions they need to do to grow their business … but the time just isn’t right.
Smart Women Develop a Mindset Ready Fire Aim
This article is about women developing the right mindset in order to launch or get their Big Ideas off the ground. Many times we want everything to be “perfect” before we launch a new idea or business into the world. The truth is, there will never be a “perfect” time for anything. Women need to develop the mindset, Ready, Fire, Aim! Of course, planning is essential. Once the plan is made, you need to set a deadline and make it happen. This mindset comes from having the desire to make it happen—make your dreams come true.

Stop Chasing Your Dreams and Start Living Them
Have you been a victim of day dreaming? Everyone has. We all have a dream of a life we consider to be perfect. Having the perfect home, the perfect lifestyle, being able to travel the world, these are all lifestyle dreams we all have. To many, they seem as just that, a pipedream. But to a select few, those that have chosen to make a commitment to themselves, have dedicated their lives to living their dream lifestyle, and will not accept anything less than the best are the ones that have been able to achieve their dreams.
Are Your Expectations Known to You?
We enter the world with high expectations. Somehow we know our parents will feed us, and look after us until we are able to look after ourselves. We attend educational institutions and know that the teachers are paid to teach us. We then enter the world of career choices, we find the perfect job for us and then, well it all falls apart.
Leadership Leapfrog
Make a list of the five most important things that constitute leadership. Okay, now pick the top two. Good, circle the one quality that you can't do without. I bet that if you compare what you have circled with lists of leaders and high potentials around the world, the answer would be variations on the theme: know yourself! On the walls of the great mystery schools of ancient Greece it commanded "Know Thyself", and Buddha was quoted as saying "Imagine that every person in the world is enlightened but you, they are all your teachers, each doing just the right things to help you learn patience, perfect wisdom, and perfect compassion."

More crazy customers!
In a perfect world salespeople will much rather spend their valuable time working with in-bound opportunities as opposed to chasing them. But just because someone has made contact with you doesn't necessarily make them the perfect opportunity. People that seek-you-out are more likely to demonstrate deceptive behaviour regarding your offering. If you have read my new book, The Naked Salesman, or attended one of my sales training programs you would have heard me speak about the damaging effects that "crazy customers" impart on salespeople and businesses.

What do you do when ‘da bomb’ bombs? Good advice for event planners who don’t live in a perfect world…
In a perfect world, every meeting would come off without a hitch, every audience would leave enlightened and motivated, every client would be a hero, and you would never have heard of anyone called Murphy. But we don’t live in a perfect world, and statistically, it’s simply not possible for every event to be a success. So I turned to some of my more experienced friends in the business people who have seen it all. I asked them a simple question: ‘Imagine you were giving advice to a newbie event planner or bureau agent, after the event he or she just handled went south…. what would you say?’
