Are you worried that your employees or outside contract workers have access to confidential information about your business that could do potential harm to your business if employees or contracted workers use it for their own gain or disclose it to your competitors? If you are not worried or concerned in the business world we live in today, then I suggest you become concerned now, not later!

What Guerrillas Know About USPs
A USP is a unique selling proposition, first popularized in 1961 by advertising legend Rosser Reeves in his book, "Reality In Advertising." Your USP is your proprietary competitive edge stated in clear, concise terms. Every business must have one to succeed. But most businesses don't. Not surprisingly, most businesses fail. Your USP needs three traits to be effective:
Branding Your Firm At Every Touchpoint
The most important assets of any business are intangible: it’s company name, brands, symbols, slogans, and their underlying associations like perceived quality, awareness, customer base and proprietary assets (e.g., patents, trademarks, etc.). Companies that understand this put significant energy into every detail of their brand and charge enormous premiums for the brands they create. Over time, this premium is transferable to the next owner. A little upfront planning and skillful management can deliver long lasting results.

Suffering from Information Marketing Overload
TMI really is Too Much Information sometimes. In a world overflowing with more information we could possibly process let alone implement, it makes me wonder – do I really need to know all of this in order to be successful? How much information does my prospect base need to know as well? When is enough, enough – or too much information – way too much information?
Uncover your companys key value drivers
Many tangible and intangible qualities can enhance a buyer’s perceived value of a company, help close the deal and even land a higher-than-expected purchase price. These key value drivers vary by company, industry and buyer needs, but often include proprietary technologies, market position, brand names, diverse product lines and patented products. But most buyers also look for companies with solid, diversified customer bases, realistic growth strategies and effective management.

The Importance Of Software OWNERSHIP
When discussing free vs. proprietary software or open vs. closed source there is a third option that is often not mentioned but which may be the only way ahead for our business in the long term. Instead of depending on a community of open source developers or proprietary software companies to provide our mission-critical information systems we may have to develop and maintain our own software if our business is to have the information system it really needs.
A New Kind of Resolution for Uncertain Times
“The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them.” (Albert Einstein) At this time of economic crisis, there is a tremendous pull towards making decisions built on a model of data analysis and information gathering. We are, after all, in the Information Age … that period of our history in which there's been a global focus on the manipulation of information. Despite our intelligence and despite the wealth of information available, we seem to have hit a wall on the information highway. Something’s not working. In fact, it sometimes seems that nothing is working.

Mobile Communications Services
The world of mobile communications is not a trend, but a phenomenon. The mobile communication industry is one of the most flourishing sectors within the ICT industry.On the supply side, firms compete by offering different kinds of services typically through proprietary networks, in which they invest in terms of capacity and coverage.

Where Do We Get Our Deals?
Where do we get our deals? Actually, we find them in a variety of places. Several of which are proprietary and I only share them with my students who are my joint venture partners. Consider the fact that anytime a property comes available on the MLS, everyone knows about it within minutes. If it is really a good real estate investing opportunity, it is often snatched up by the agent entering the listing into the computer….or one of their friends.
Confidentiality Agreements... Ticking Time Bombs?
How many times have you signed a new contract which included "confidentiality" or "non-disclosure" provisions and simply assumed that it was not a big deal? After all, you're a business owner with honor and integrity; you have no intention of disclosing your client's confidential and proprietary information, right? So, why worry about it?
