Where's The Money?
There are numerous loan programs and lending institutions servicing small business owner’s nationwide. The problem is not getting the money, it’s how and where to find it. If more business owners knew how and where to secure capital, there would be a larger number of businesses growing and succeeding than those that are dissolving-today.

How do I get a small business loan?
You should prepare a business plan, including your loan proposal, and submit it to a local lender. If the lender is unable to approve your loan, you may request that your application be submitted, by the lender, to the SBA. The SBA can guarantee up to 80% of a small business loan; however, the lender must agree to loaning the money with the SBA guarantee. The lender will then forward your loan application and a credit analysis to the nearest SBA District Office. If the lender needs SBA applications and/or guidance it may contact the nearest SBA District Office by going to SBA. Upon SBA approval, the lending institution closes the loan and disburses the funds.

Why your organization needs media interview skills training
Many top executives have seen for themselves how challenging the media can be to deal with. If they haven't personally experienced the cold stares of the press corps, they certainly have seen their friends thrust into the frying pan. In our dealings with CEOs and other corporate leadership, it is typical for them to tell us that a journalist's job is to uncover sensational details and present them in a way that turns heads and raises eyebrows -- the facts notwithstanding. Many feel that journalists aren't interested in the truth; they are interested in bullying their subjects and making them look bad.

Fred Smith Has Lift-Off: The Beginnings of Federal Express
“By the early '70s when I'd gotten out of the service it was very clear that this new society was coming in earnest,” recalls Smith. “And so, at that point I said, ‘What the hell, let's try to put it together.’” After leaving the U.S. Marine Corps, Smith purchased a controlling interest in Ark Aviation Sales, a company that focused on aircraft maintenance. This was the first step towards realizing his goal of what would soon become Federal Express.

Insight Into Incompetence of Managers & Executives, From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
One of the most common topics of conversation in today’s workplace is the incompetence of managers and executives. And there does not seem to be any evidence that this subject is going away anytime soon. In addition, the managers and executives are very fearful that their subordinates will discover how really incompetent they are. And again, this fear of being “found out” is actually well founded. What is the magnitude of failure among managers and executives? According to one research study, 4 out of 10 newly promoted managers and executives fail. Think about this – that is a 40 PERCENT FAILURE RATE! Why do managers and executives fail? Based upon more than 35 years of experience and observations, your strategic thinking business coach offers a list of ten (10) top reasons for failure.

Coco Chanel Handbag
The launch of the first Coco Chanel handbag in 1955 marked the beginning of a fashion revolution. Coco had retired in 1939, and had been written off by most in the industry. Her perfumes could still be bought at Chanel outlets, but she had stopped making any new designs, and had effectively retired from the fashion business. When she made her comeback at the age of 71, and introduced the innovative and hugely popular Coco Chanel handbag, her success was thus all the more remarkable.

Make Working at Home Work Well
Most retired baby boomers have tried their hands at a variety of home-based careers and businesses, from writing to consulting to even crafting, either full time or part time. Yes, more and more baby boomers are now choosing to work from home, either starting their own businesses or blending their post-retirement leisure time with their already established careers. This can be a daunting aspect that requires loads of direction, motivation and of course tweaking! So, if you’re contemplating jumping off the corporate ladder to start your own business, or if you have just retired and need that extra income, then here are a few tips to help make you work better from home:
Give To Live and Get Refired
I often tell people who haven’t seen me recently and wonder if I have retired, “I’m not retired, I’m refired. I’m not gonna ease up, let up, shut up or give up until I’m taken up. As a matter of fact, I’m just getting warmed up!”

ARE YOU READY TO BE A BUSINESS OWNER?
As never before in the history of our country there are tens of thousands of mid to upper level corporate executives whose world has crashed around them. They have been “downsized” out of their company…in some cases after years of loyal service. These former corporate executives find it almost impossible to find a job commensurate with what they had. Those employment opportunities are just not available.
The Netrepreneur: The Early Years of Netflix’s Reed Hastings
He used to teach mathematics in Swaziland as an American Peace Corps volunteer. So, when 48 year old Reed Hastings decided to found his own software company, some eyebrows were raised. But Hastings would prove the disbelievers wrong with the subsequent founding of Netflix, the largest movie-rental service via mail in the U.S. With over 10 million subscribers and sales in the billions, Hastings proved he was able to go from living in Africa, to living in affluence.

Police Customer Service
While customer service is my normal focus for this article, I have struggled with the term for many years. I don't see why we term Customer Service as a process. I believe if we respect each other, we can service people by treating them the way we would like to be treated. Now with the Insurance companies lacking in the ‘CS' training department, spare a thought for the senior executives of each of those companies. I wonder what they would do if they didn't receive the promised bonus, of at least hundreds of thousands at the end of the coming financial year. Hmmmm? Would they consider that a tragedy? YOU BET!
