Lesson #3: A Clear Focus Will Take You Where You Want to Go
| |
| “We wanted Nike to be the world’s best sports and fitness company,” says Knight. “Once you say that, you have a focus. You don’t end up making wing tips or sponsoring the next Rolling Stones world tour.” From day one, Knight has had a clear vision about what he wanted his company to be, and where he wanted it to go. There have been many setbacks along the way, but it was in focusing on the larger end picture that Knight was able to keep Nike on track. |

Being A Tourist In the Napa Valley
| |
| Some friends of mine from Chicago came out for a visit a few weeks ago to take in the Napa Valley, tour some wineries, and experience the excitement of crush. It had been a while since I played tourist here in the Valley and thought it might be fun, so I tagged along. It was quite an experience. While my husband, Mike, was the Vineyard Manager for Robert Mondavi Winery, we had attended a zillion fabulous events, special tours, and tastings but I could not actually remember ever going through a typical,everyday tour of the winery. |

Can the Beatles Help You Close Big Deals?
| |
| Back in the 60's, three companies were competing for attention. But they weren't retailers, manufacturers or service providers. Despite that, they had features and benefits that caused people to follow and buy from them. Some people didn't care for any of the three and bought from alternative sources. Some preferred just one or the other. And some bought from all three. They were the big winners of their day. Who were they? Try The Beatles, The Beach Boys and The Rolling Stones. Check out the following table which, if they were traditional sellers, could have been used to tout their features and benefits. |

TIME, TIME, TIME ….IS NOT ON MY SIDE!
| |
| Many say the WORLDS GREATEST ROCK N’ ROLL BAND is the Rolling Stones! Mick Jagger and the boys once had a big hit whose lyrics went, “Time, Time, Time, is on my side, Yes it is….”
With all due respect to the wisdom of Rock N’ Roll, I believe that the Stones were dead wrong! If they were right then why do so many of my business coaching customers say that they never have enough time to get everything done that they need done. Why do they say that life would be so much better if they just had 25 hours in a day?

Getting the Most Out of Group Travel
| |
| Group tour travel is a great way to save money and broaden your access to exotic destinations. These excursions have a lot more to offer than just a ride on a bus.
Tour companies often have the leverage and connections to negotiate significant discounts with hotels and other vendors. They can help you cut your vacation expenses. If you're a first time traveler, a group tour can help you to get around in unfamiliar territory. Some destinations are difficult to visit at all without an experienced guide, and group tour travel solves that dilemma.

Off the Books and Underground
| |
| Some years ago while taking a walking tour in downtown Los Angeles, the tour guide waved his hand at a commercial strip on Broadway and said something that stayed in my mind. “More cash changes hands every Saturday on this street than in Beverly Hills” was his observation. Notice he said cash and not higher gross sales. There is an unmeasured segment of the small business community that seems to be growing, especially in urban areas. It is a world where cash is not just King, but the entire royal court! Politicians and regulators need to absorb the lessons coming from the off-the-books economy. |
