Lesson #4: You Can Control Your Own Destiny

“Those who say that I am taking over the city centre,” says Helu, “that I have already bought up everything, are not going to stop me from continuing my project.” In the early 1980s, Helu began investing in real estate, construction, mining, tires, and paper goods.

Community Involvement the Wrong Way

There are wrong ways to demonstrate community involvement as well. If you volunteer to work on a committee but are never available for meetings, or if you sponsor a little league team and don't show up for games, you're proving yourself to be crass and superficial, probably sucking up the community to get business instead of working for it for altruistic reasons. Consumers are more sophisticated than ever these days. People know the difference between serving the community and serving yourself. If you're not willing to devote honest time and energy to your community, you're better off skipping this weapon and leaving it to the real guerrillas in your community. I just hope for your sake that none are your direct competitors.

Making the most of Up Selling & Cross Selling

Do you sell one thing and one thing only? Probably not. I suspect your business has a range of things it can offer. And I suspect that many of these things can be integrated together to make an end-to-end solution or various combinations that lead to much larger sales. If this is the case, then how well are you selling in the size and scope of your business offerings? Too many times sales people get fixated on the immediate sale in front of them not really seeing the potential of that sale now or into the future. If they would only ask the right questions and get a bigger perspective to work from they might get more and bigger sales for less effort.

Work At Home Trumps Having A Job Every Time

Work at home is a growing trend among people who want to create and control their own income. Work at home trumps having a job every time. A job is defined by the employer. You are hired because you have the skill sets that match the scope of the tasks needed for the job. You will always be limited by what the employer needs to move his company forward. It does not matter how good you are at your job, you will never exceed the expectations of the employer. It is possible to be rewarded for exceptional work with a promotion and higher pay. The opportunities for advancement are limited and the competition can be fierce. No matter how high you climb the corporate ladder you will never reach the top. You can turn that around when you become the owner of your own home based business and are committed to work at home.

Questions to ask before Writing a Proposal

A lot of time gets wasted on proposal-writing. Before we invest this effort, there are some basic questions worth asking. Not only do these questions filter out time-wasters, they actually enhance our chances of winning the bid.For example, most professionals are aware of the risk when our entire relationship with the client organisation hinges on one person. But do we consistently translate this into a strategy to build relationships with other key decision-influencers?
