The Squirrel Effect
Like that squirrel, people often hide what they consider important to their personal survival in the corporate world. It’s called information. Hoarding bits and pieces, they act as if information alone is a work-life sustaining nutrient. The more information nuggets they have, the safer or more powerful they think they’ll be. And while those nuggets might help someone survive in a corporate culture where information is a bartered commodity, long term it won’t help them thrive. Here’s why.

Survival in the SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages)
There is something about using distinct visual analogies to illustrate parallels between search engines (the jungle), traffic (information foragers), competition (predators) and survival in the algorithmic food chain. Just like a jungle, survival in the SERPs (search engine results pages) can be tricky. The uncertainty of search engine algorithms, the survival based impulses that by default comprise 97% of the web pages at large (like playing capture the flag) or a boobie-trap where one step on the wrong twig and you could be consumed, penalized, suppressed, catapulted or removed from the top 10 based on your SEO survival skills, your resourcefulness or your experience in the jungle.
Define Your Image with Your Personal Brand
Learn how to stand out and eliminate your competition. So, you’ve heard of branding and you know that defining a brand is essential for a company’s survival and for it to consistently produce new and successful products. Many notable brands have become household names such as Band-Aid, Xerox and Kleenex. However, what about personal branding? What is a personal brand, how do you create it and why is it important for you to have? In the simplest terms, your personal brand is you. It displays your personality and conveys what you stand for. In turn, it helps you to distinguish yourself from others and eliminate your competition.
A Stimulus for a Better World: Give them Sustainability without Compromise
Sustainability sounded good when money was flowing in. But now that the economy is broken, business sustainability is taking a back seat to business survival. However, now more than ever, this is a time to advance your business case for sustainability as a top-line and bottom-line strategy for not just survival, but long-term growth and profitability.
WHY KENNY ROGER’S GAMBLER SONG MAKE A LOT OF BUSINESS SENSE
The other day I was listening to music and Kenny Roger’s song The Gambler was playing. I had not listened to this song for quite a while and my mind was captivated by that song for a while. This song had a business idea for any entrepreneur in the world. The song says that every gambler knows the secret for surviving. What if the song says every marketer or business know the secret for survival? What would be the secret for survival would it be good customer service, superior products, or would it be sound financial management?

Business Development or Business Survival
When the economy is strong businesses focus on business development. When the economy is weak those same businesses worry about survival. Why is that? In this article I’d like to share some ideas about what you can do to make sure your business is always growth focused rather than survival focused.
Mental Toughness=Profits and Success Today
All sizes and shapes of companies are focused on survival in what Tom Peters calls our “Looney” times today. And, I have focused a lot on survival strategies with my clients. However, strategies, tactics, methods, and techniques are not the total answer. My thinking about survival in our recession has been profoundly influenced by a book called "Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why" by Laurence Gonzales. It's a book that chronicles incredible stories of survival in plane crashes, getting lost at sea, surviving in Arctic temperatures for weeks, etc. And one theme comes through like a beacon. It is not the physically strong that survive. Surviving [and profiting from this recession] all starts with a single decision.
The Rule of 3 for Business Survival

Below is a list of those items that I believe help us transition through difficult phases in our lives, and that we can use repeatedly to survive survival.
Education: The Key to Empowering Your Human Resources
Most entrepreneurs realize the role continuing education has served in their personal and professional growth. This growth accounts, in turn, for personal and professional success. Hence learning has become an important component of survival in the new economy. Education can be made affordable for almost every budget. Consider hiring a speaker to conduct a seminar on the premises.
