Lesson #3: Grow a Thick Skin
“You simply have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going,” says Lucas about encountering pessimism. “Put blinders on and plow right ahead.”
Percy's Gang of 125: How Curved Is the Earth??? It's A Small World, After All ???
Percy Barnevik was Europe's exemplar businessman for much of the '80s and '90s. He woke up a sleepy ABB Asea Brown Boveri big time—and made about as many notable management inventions as Jack Welch along the way. I sang his praises at length in my 1992 book, Liberation Management. In particular, Barnevik's ABB was peerless when it came to internationalization and managing very far-flung ventures. Along the way, as I recall, he surprised many of us by asserting that among his cast of hundreds of thousands, with managers numbering in the tens of thousands, he really only needed about 125 true internationalists!
Promoting women

There are many benefits of going with virtual teams. One of those is that virtual team members produce projects for the company, locally, nationally and internationally, not to mention the cost savings.
So You Want to be a Consultant?
I've been consulting successfully for over 20 years now. That makes me an old-timer in many folks' perceptions. Friends and associates often come to me for advice on how to start their own consulting business - mostly around how to position themselves as an expert in the market. Here are the thoughts I share.

Mining Your Customer Base
In the early 1900's, Reverend Russell Conwell -- founder of Temple University -- gave a popular speech called "Acres of Diamonds." In it, he said: "Your diamonds are not in far distant mountains or in yonder seas. They are in your own backyard if you but dig for them."

In an increasingly competitive climate for cosmeceutical products, how can a company capture market share and increase its public profile
Enhancing your cosmeceutical product
How can a hair salon bulld its business
If you build it, they will come. That was once the case, but in this economy it has truly become necessary to, “promote or perish.”

Use Testimonials to Attract Prospects and Win Sales
In today’s economy you need every advantage in your sales kit. Prospects are scrutinizing all requests for their time and each purchase decision. You want to pass their piercing investigation but the sales tools you’ve used in recent years aren’t cutting it. You need something more, and testimonials are the answer. They can be the difference maker in not just winning opportunities but also in attracting attention in the first place.

The Value of Worrying
With a current world picture that includes tsunamis, unrest in the Middle East and a struggling economic recovery, it might be tempting to say that the Mayans were right and we're approaching the end in 2012. Maybe the Mayans were just good at math, which we all know can be helpful but won't necessarily get you a date. (We tend to remember Olympic champions but rarely sing the praises of a mathlete.) Just because an ancient civilization did not outlive its own calendar doesn't mean it's the end of the world for us.

The Myth of Multitasking: How Doing It All Gets Nothing Done
Multitasking has become something of a heroic word in our vocabulary. Many executives pride themselves on their ability to “multitask”. Recent job descriptions that I have seen even ask that potential employees have the ability to multitask. A current national commercial sings the praises of multitasking. However, multitasking, as most people understand it, is deceptively counter-productive. Multitasking is tremendously costly. Multitasking hurts us every time we attempt to engage in it.

SEE THE WORLD THROUGH YOUR CUSTOMERS EYES™
There is a competitive nature to business today, which often causes companies to sing the praises of their own product, service, or technology, as though it were the single answer to all of the world’s problems. But as we have learned, one size does not fit all. And one Seller’s product, service, or technology does not solve all problems across the board. In fact, most Buyers feel that their problems, their industries, and their businesses are unique, and Sellers run the risk of insulting them by implying otherwise. Too often, Sellers are presumptuous, acting like the cavalry riding in to save the day. Why do they do this? Certainly, they want to help. And naturally, they want the work. But we feel that this is a shortsighted way of establishing one’s business as a solution to another business’s problems.

What Aweber Can Do For Your Online Business
Among online marketers, Aweber is one of the most respected and popular IM tools available. There are people from (literally) all over the world who sing its praises and recommend it to others.
