Lesson #2: Care for Your Customers and They Will Keep Coming Back for More
When Bean first founded his company, he did so with one golden rule in mind: “Sell good merchandise at a reasonable profit, treat your customers like human beings, and they will always come back for more.” Today, Bean is a legend in the industry for his willingness to go above and beyond the call of duties for his customers. From having a 100 percent money back guarantee to keeping stores open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, Bean placed the customers’ priorities at the heart of everything he did. And that was why they continue to reward his company so well.

Ten Questions with Jeffrey Kalmikoff, Chief Creative Officer of skinnyCorp/Threadless
Threadless is a very interesting company because of how it has “community-sourced” its product design. If you had told me that a company could succeed by running weekly tshirt design contests and then selling the winning designs, I would have told you that you’re nuts. I met Jeffrey during my tour of the Threadless offices a few weeks ago and posed these questions to him after my most enjoyable visit.

Choices
The choice is yours. Question: Do you believe there is something you can specifically do in the next seven days that would make your personal, family and business life worse? Chances are good you did a double-take on that one and rhetorically responded, "What does he mean, 'make it worse'?" O.k., next question: Do you honestly believe there is something you can do in the next seven days that would make your personal, family and business life better?

Increase Conversions - 8 Ways to Skyrocket Your Online Sales
Any online business needs to do two things right to get sales. They have to get traffic and they have to convert those visitors into paying customers. This post will give you some amazing ideas to increase conversions. But before I start with my list, let me give you a warning. If your website is not getting any traffic, focus on that first.

Taking Back Your Life
Do you feel like you are a slave to your home based business? Are you working seven days a week, with many of those days being 10 - 12 hour work days? If your answer is "yes", you are not alone. This seems to be the syndrome that many home based business owners fall into. One of the downfalls in running a home-based business is that many individuals are not able to break away as they would if they worked outside the home. It is too easy to walk by your office, pop in for what you anticipate will be a quick five minutes, and end up coming back out of your office an hour or two later. When your office is in the home, the hours can blur together, and, if you are not careful, your business will consume you.

Low Cost Web Hosting
As entrepreneurs, we all have to be wary of our bottom line. By and large, I am of the belief that it’s never smart to spend more than you’re bringing in. That being said, however, there comes a time, especially during our startup days, when it’s time to take a risk, to spend a little extra money in the hopes that it will bring you a bigger return. Here, especially, I am talking about low cost web hosting.

Have you ever had one of those days when nothing goes right from morning to night? I am sure we all have had those days. Is there something we can do about it or are we just stuck with circumstances?
LEARNING TO HAVE FUN – EVERYDAY!
Even as I write the heading – it feels odd. Surely we don’t need to ‘learn’ how to have fun? Perhaps not. But I do know from the many people I’ve coached, having fun everyday is not something that happens very much. Having fun is often relegated to weekends, special days and holidays – and even some of these days aren’t much fun. This Tip looks at how you can increase the level of fun you have in your life.
Rejection - Not By You, Really
Rejection isn't failure. I've been back from vacation for five days (including the weekend) and I've send out around 100 50 (if felt like 100, but I went back and counted and it was slightly more than 50) rejection emails to deals that came into my inbox while I was on vacation. It's part of my job - and I try to always at least give a little context as to why something isn't interesting to me. But 50 in five days (really 10 days including the vacation) starts to be a little discouraging.
Imagine a Bigger Market and You'll See a Bigger Market
Scientists in two studies at the University of Virginia discovered that softball players and golfers who had good days perceived balls and golf holes as larger than the players who had bad days. The question is, Did this difference in perception cause the player to have better days or did the day's performance cause the players to perceive the ball and holes as bigger?

Does Lack of Confidence Impact Your Productivity?
We all have those days. You know the kind I'm talking about. The days where nothing seems to go right and no matter what you do, things seem to fall apart.

Your ability to pick yourself up and start again during those days is hugely important to your ability to make something really extraordinary happen.
How to do business effectively while on the move
I don’t know about you, but there have been days when I’ve been out and about and not been near the office once. On days like this, it’s difficult to get any work done let alone any marketing. So, what can you do? Here are my top tips to do business effectively when you’re on the move.

SUNRISES AND SUNSETS
Let me start by wishing you all a very Happy New Year. One of my fondest memories of summers at the lake was sitting on the deck at the cottage (preferably screened in) either early in the morning with a hot cup of coffee and a blanket wrapped around me watching the sun come up or late in the evening sitting with a drink and in the old days an occasional cigar, quietly watching the sun go down on another day. It was always at these times I would reflect back over days past and wonder about days to come and where my life would take me and my family.

Managing Priorities
I’m at the end of day three of another very intense, but enjoyable and satisfying week. I’ve been in Seattle the past two days and am headed to LA for the next two days before finally making it home after being on the road for the past two weeks.
7 Day Challenge to Being Happier Today
So, what is this challenge that can make you happier in just 7 days? NO complaining for 7 days! Of course the goal is to keep it up after 7 days. :-) I’m not talking about just the big complaints… like “oh my gosh, the dog had another accident on the rug!” but also the little complaints like, “traffic is so slow this morning,” “it’s so cold outside, winter stinks, why won’t the kids pick up their toys, I hate these shoes, my co-worker is a jerk,” etc. We all do it, often without even realizing that we’re complaining.
