How About A Mission Statement?
If you're like most people, you've probably flirted around with New Year's resolutions: You've said, "THIS is the year I'm gonna lose weight and get in shape. Starting January 1, no more snacking. I'm joining the health club and I'm gonna work out daily. I may even do my first marathon." What happens? By March 1 (the latest ...) you're back on the junk food regimen, you've been to the club a total of five times (you're "just too busy to get there"), and you've filed that marathon application in the trash. And you've concluded, "Resolutions don't work for me." (You've got a lot of company on that one ...) Maybe you need a better approach. Instead of making a mental resolution, create a Mission Statement.

Your Marketing Vision should define your Customer’s Core Problem
As a result of this exercise, you will change the shape of your Pillar. You should be able to shorten your cycle in some and as a result decrease your expenditure in the marketing process. Others, on the other hand, may be lengthened and a total different approach may have to be utilized.

Now you might be reading this statement and thinking, “Wow, this guy has a level of insight that is staggering and quite amazing.” However, I am making this point for some obvious reasons.

Lesson #2: “Great companies are built by people who never stop thinking about ways to improve the business.”
Marriott was born into a household poor enough to know that success is never final. No matter how hard he worked, or how much he wanted something to work, the only thing Marriott could be assured of was that change was going to come. To that end, Marriott learned early on how to use that change to his advantage. He did it by focusing on innovation.

How to Use Twitter as a Twool
I may get more value out of Twitter than anyone else on the planet because I use Twitter as a tool—specifically as a marketing tool—for my website Alltop and my book, Reality Check. If the concept of using Twitter in a commercial manner interests you, keep reading. If it doesn’t, then you can continue to send and receive tweets about how cats are rolling over and the line at Starbucks.

Choices for Life
As time passes our waist seems to thicken and our hair thins, nails are not so strong and teeth are more often in the glass by the bed then they are chomping into a thick juicy steak. By the time we think about what nutrition or a lack of it has done to our lives, we are at an age we maybe thinking "what the hell, it has not killed me yet".

THE ACORN THEORY
The Acorn Theory was first postulated in the modern era, at least in the public domain by James Hillman, author and psychologist, in his bestselling book; The Soul’s Code. It is Hillman’s view that one of life’s greatest mysteries is the question of character and ones destiny. In this theory he proposes that our calling is inborn and that it’s our mission in life to realize its imperatives. He has called it the “acorn theory,” the idea that our lives are formed by a particular image, just as the oak’s destiny is contained in the tiny acorn.

9th of the 10 Kurlan Sales Competencies That are Key to Building a Sales Culture
All of the stuff they have been doing, including the order in which they have been doing it, is usually wrong when we begin working with them - and permanently so. It's harder to stop doing the permanent stuff than it is to learn a more effective way. Think of an elastic band. The information from the new lesson stretches the band a lot. Then the natural tendency to do what has become permanent snaps the band back into its original shape. Solution?

The Shapes That Model Retail
There has been a tremendous amount of discussion by economists and government experts in regard to the type of recession we are in, as well as the possible ways we could come out of it. There are varied opinions and speculation as to where things go from here. This is pretty clearly demonstrated in the different models, or 'shapes', that the recovery might take, which have come to be characterized by various letters of the alphabet. Although Economists may track and analyze a number of economic issues and trends that would also impact retailers, it is from an aggregate level. So the question is, what will the economic recovery look like at a place where all the trends come together at once - such as in your own company’s financials?

The Deficit vs. the Investment in Business
One of the issues that comes up from time to time is the idea of deficit vs. investment. What this means is that a person spends their money at your organization in some way, shape or form. When the person does that, they have made an investment and therefore can be of the mindset that you are now in deficit with them. They have provided you with income so now they have a different access level.

REINVENTING YOURSELF
Recently and again, I had an opportunity to visit with Geoff Currier on The Nighthawk, CJOB’s evening show. Geoff asked me to join him in a discussion of how some people manage to re-invent themselves and he used the example of Frank McCourt the author of Angela’s Ashes to start things off. As a Life & Business Coach my work with clients is all about reinvention but perhaps not in the way you may think.

Is Attitude Gratitude Or Is Gratitude Attitude?
I often wonder about whether attitude is gratitude, or if gratitude is attitude. Actually, I think it is both. If your attitude is positive, more than likely you are thankful for everything that you have. And, if you are grateful for what you have, that says a great deal about your attitude. In either case, being grateful is positive, and it can have a huge influence on how you approach life and deal with daily issues. This article provides some tips on embracing gratitude, which will help you to develop and maintain a positive attitude.

LEAN INTO YOUR DISCOMFORT
I must admit that learning to lean into my discomfort has had a very positive effect in my life! It was a process over time but the value of being able and willing to do it, was magnified 10 fold during my two year battle to survive my deteriorating lungs, followed by another two year journey back from the edge of death to good health, after surviving a 13 hour double lung transplant operation. My new lungs came from a 40 year old man who lost his life in a car accident when he was killed by a drunk driver. His incredible gifts saved the lives of four people. I know about discomfort!

The Upside to the Downside
I’m not denying the economic hard times, but I am saying that not only are we finally beginning to see positive news filter through, but that there have also been upsides to this financial upheaval we’ve been going through. Lessons can be learned and fortunes made during tough economic times. It was during the Great Depression that the billion dollar cosmetics industry was launched.

Profitable Online Business Ideas and the Recession; My Story
We have written several articles with clues and ideas on building a successful and profitable online home based business. My wife and I were thinking that many of you are probably asking the question why did we build this business and who are Wendell and Charmayne Vannatter. I’m sure the biggest question you have is, was it easy, and does it really work? And can I do this, will it work for me? I think the proper place to start is at the beginning.

If You Walk For Exercise Then You're Probably Wasting Your Time
Time is important for any entrepreneur wanting a healthy work life balance. So you do not want to waste your time on time-consuming exercise programs that produce very little in terms of results. Many activities promoted by companies as part of their corporate health and wellness programs like encouraging employees to walk for exercise produce little health benefits to their employees. Quite simply, if you are not huffing and puffing, then it's not exercise...

Why So Much Business Training And Development Goes To Waste
The effectiveness of so many training and business development programs is being limited by the fatigue and poor concentration levels of many of the participants. The fatigue is generally due to the participants being out of shape.Before embarking on business training programs, management should consider programs to boost the health and energy of their workers. The resultant heightened energy levels among the participants will increase their capacity to get more out of the training.

Why Entrepreneurs Need To Exercise Differently Than Other People
Most entrepreneurs are aware of the importance to stay in shape, but the challenge is that entrepreneurs typically adopt the same approach to exercise as they do to business. To support your fast paced and intense working life the temptation is to do a high intensity workout at full pace. This is a mistake. Adding high intensity, fast-paced exercise to a high intensity, fast-paced life only serves to amplify the imbalance in your life leading to an increased risk of illness, injury or burnout. I call this being an "Exhaustedpreneur". Exhaustedpreneurs are entrepreneurs whose bodies can't physically keep up with the demands of their work and life. The solution is about exercising in balance. I call it Exercising Right For Your Engine Type...

Sales Simplified - "The Solution Step"
The reason we have the opportunity to serve our customers is because we have something they want, have an interest in or need. Aside from the typical training we receive regarding our companies "Product Knowledge", here are some other guidelines to keep in mind when creating solutions for our customers.

Building Windmills
One can look at 2009 with doom and gloom; and just try and survive. Or one can look for the opportunities. I suspect that the coldness of the recession/depression may find out most so called shelters however safe they seem. On that note I went to a presentation before Christmas and heard a rather inspiring Chinese proverb. And no it was not that old saw that we should live in interesting times (if I hear that again I will scream, scream, scream until I am sick). Some boring times would be quite nice at the moment thank you! Anyway the quote was “When the wind blows there are those who build shelters and those who build windmills”

Your Energy is Always Evolving You
By definition, energy needs to flow in order to be in its natural dynamic state. I'm not a scientist, but I know that its' movement is what generates some level of power, even at the smallest increment of its presence. The movement of energy is what makes things go. And it is the force within your own life that makes things happen, which cumulatively becomes your evolution.

Being authentic in sales
The 20th century approach of one-upmanship, although still encouraged by many traditional sales managers, seems to be slowly retreating into the shadows of the past as crude and old-fashioned. Polar opposite to the latter, but just as unproductive..

Are You Throwing in the Towel Too Soon? More Musings from the Marathon

5 Ways To Keep Fit While Working At Home

Learning Business Lessons From Computer Geeks
A business lesson from the "computer geeks"! Computer science has a concept that deals with Real Dependencies versus Artificial Dependencies.

Chances are that you can learn a business and marketing lesson from this concept from the "computer geeks" that can help you improve the performance and profit of your business, and make your customers happier.

Casting a Vision: Begin with the End in Mind
When you look at your hopes and dreams for the future – where you want to be at some defined point in time – what do you see? Is the road pretty clear before you or is the fog too thick? Of course, no one has the power to fully predict their future, but those who cast a vision and do whatever it takes to achieve it have a better chance of predictable success and satisfaction as they look back from the vantage point of old age.

Finish Strong
Georgene Johnson got to the starting line of a weekend race 15 minutes early. It was a mistake in timing that became a defining moment in her life. The 42-year-old secretary had registered to run in a 10 kilometer/ 6.2 mile race that Sunday. The race started at 8:45 a.m. There was also a marathon scheduled to begin 15 minutes earlier. Both races used the same starting line.

The Power of Hope
Did you know that the bumblebee should not be able to fly? Based on its size, weight, and shape of its body in relationship to the total wing span, a flying bumblebee is aerodynamically impossible. The bumblebee, being ignorant of scientific data, goes ahead and flies anyway, making honey every day. Ignore the sting of the past and replace it with hope for a brighter future. If you do, you will be able to achieve things everyone else thinks are impossible. Keep your hopes high and you will fly to new heights!

New research from the ChangeWave Research group shows that Apple won’t be immune from taking hits due to the tough economy. But my favorite tech company seems to be in as good of shape as any to make it through some tight months.

Accept the Truth about Yourself
You must drill down to the core of your heart to find the real truth about you as a person. The real truth is always much better than your truth about you. Generally, the way others see you is much better than the way you see yourself. Change your self-paradigm and accept the truth about yourself-that is how you will begin to grow and achieve differently. As your belief in yourself increases, so does your ability to accomplish anything your heart desires. Your life will become much richer.

Discover How to Identify Your Core Desires
Core Desires are those things you have your heart set on- what you want to be, have, or do most. One might think that identifying these Core Desires would be easy, but people often tell me, "I don't know what I want, please help me." This dilemma affects people of all age groups and crosses all political, social, and economic lines. People tell me that they don't know what they want to be, have, or do when they "grow up." They are still searching.

Leadership Excellence Isn't Achieved Without Failure
Making a resolution and being committed to it doesn't mean you won't fail. Inherent in moving toward a bigger dream is failure. The question is how committed are you to your resolution of developing your leadership skills, having a better job, working toward a promotion, becoming an entrepreneur, taking better care of your health and having more love?

Of course, the one person you never wanted to see you in that condition pops up out of nowhere!

High Demand Business Opportunities--Home Inspection Franchises
In a rocky housing market, you may think that anything having to do with homes would be a bad decision right not. The home inspection market, however, is blossoming in this less-than-ideal market due to the fact that when there is less demand for a home, buyers can take their time in the purchase process, and will therefore order 2 or 3 times as many inspections as they would in a cut-throat seller's market. Here are a few great franchise opportunities in the world of home inspection.

Positioning, “Social Polarity” and Vibrant Blog Communities
Blog communities and commenters play a role in defining the blogs they socialize in. What’s your community of blog commenters like? If you had a chance to build your blog all over again, what would you do differently? Blogs are great tools for knowledge sharing, and in essence the blogosphere is one gigantic self-organized online network of individuals sharing their raw and unedited thoughts openly. It’s a vibrant and ongoing conversation, and the saying “there’s strength in diversity” holds in this case.

Lessons from the Gym that Can Help Your Business
It's been a difficult journey toward becoming fit, but it reminded me of a few lessons that apply equally to building a business. The following are a few of the lessons I have learned from the gym.

Introduction To Entrepreneurship
In this brief article and overview of one of Sheri’s interactive workshops, she offers insights that are ‘tested and true’! Some of the key points include, being in the now, devising your plan and keeping yourself motivated! Modeling this in her own life, she emphasizes the importance of being committed to constant and never-ending learning; and how ‘applying’ this alone will keep you a cut above the rest! She reminds us that it takes at least 21 days to form a habit (good or bad); so staying the course gives your ‘plan’ a chance to ‘take shape and become natural’, and subsequently ‘pay-off’ for you as well!

The Fear Factor

Sales Productivity: Manage Your Energy
What affects our energy levels? You already know the answer to that question. Nutrition, sleep, stress, physical fitness, attitudes, emotions, and environment are the major influencers of our levels of energy. How do you improve these aspects of our life so we maximize our level of energy?

Media & Medicine: Developing a Medical Practice Utilizing PR
If you’re a physician looking to market your practice or reach out to new patients, keep in mind that physicians, more than those in other professions, can benefit from an effective media campaign. Press coverage reaches their target market, drives patients their way and gives them validation and credibility. A physician who is featured in the New York Times or USA Today or on CNN will generally be viewed as an expert, as a leader in his or her field who can be trusted.

PROBLEM SOLVING
It isn’t that they can’t solve the problem. It is that they can’t see the problem. The Scandal of Father Brown (1935). People differ not only in how much they worry, but also in what they worry. Quite often the way we see the problem is the problem. It would be helpful to start with self, your motivation, and what you were looking for.

Your Goals
Before setting a goal, it is vital to ask yourself as to whether you are prepared to devote your time, energy etc. to achieving that particular goal. The more you are prepared to do something for yourself, and the more it is in accordance with your core beliefs and values, the more likely you will achieve the goal.

How To Solve Your Problems With The Right Solutions
Hope you enjoyed yourself over the break and are all renewed and revigorated to zoom ahead. Our family had a relaxing time at home. We didn't go away as my daughter relocated to London just after Christmas, so we were around to see her off. Guess where we'll be going on our next holiday? So it's back to business... Now's the time to clear out the clutter, write out your goals for the year, plan what you need to do and then take action.

Don’t Underestimate The Power Of Persistence
The subject of persistence has come up recently, not only with clients, but in general conversation.

Dreams Come True Series I: Passion Ignites Your Higher Purpose
Many of us had inspiring dreams as we were growing up. Often we abandoned these precious dreams, leaving them sadly behind. Some of us are living those dreams, yet still desire to accomplish special goals that express our unique talents. As years go by, we know that our skills can be used for benefiting others, and for creating a world filled with art, beauty, love, inspiration, passion and compassion.

Give up excuses!
So, we all have excuses in life that we fall back on time and time again. Maybe because of difficult upbringings, or hardships, certain beliefs have laid their imprint on you. Excuses keep you from venturing forward, in that they keep you safe from possible heartbreak. Having an excuse excuses you from facing the truth, while keeping you in your comfort zone.

Are You A Totally Depressed Entrepreneur? Work On These Three Daily Activities.
When I ask business owners how their business is doing, I get one of these answers: Business is going on well but I get too tired at the end of the day and feel depressed. My health is not in good shape and I am unable to devote much time to do my business. Do you fall in one of this category? If yes, then you might want to find out how you can do well in business and buzz with energy at the end of the day. To run a smooth and profitable business, YOU as a business owner must keep yourself in good shape. How can you do this? First, make it a priority to watch your energy pattern during the day. When you focus on watching your energy pattern and make a decision to do activities that decrease your distress, you feel better and buzz with energy.

Impact and Influence in Action – What Might be Possible?
To build and maintain impact and influence in negotiation and achieve a wise outcome it’s important to manage the levels of engagement. This means doing everything you can to ensure the conversation and interaction is about joint problem solving, not about fighting for domination. At some point in the discussions the conversation will move from divergent to convergent – from opening up and examining the issues towards closing down and reaching a solution or outcome. I teach negotiators, influencers and leaders to keep a diamond shape in mind (the shape you’d see on a playing card) and check from time to time where the conversation is and when it is time to make the “critical turn” and begin converging.
