Lesson #2: Make Yourself Accessible To Your Customers

Rachael Ray has a secret ingredient to her success, but it is not the cayenne pepper or diced garlic she uses in her recipes. What makes Ray stands out from her peers and the likes of Martha Stewart is that Ray is human. She makes food with regular ingredients found in a normal grocery store and she does not apologize if she goofs up on air, which she does. Ray is just like the rest of her viewers, and it is that down to earth nature that has propelled her to the top.

Lesson #5: “Get yourself a comfortable living, then do a little something to change the world”
In 1997, Microsoft approached Newmark with a proposal to start running banner ads on his site. Microsoft had recognized the growing popularity – and even greater potential – of Craigslist and wanted to get a piece of the action. But, like all of the venture capitalists that Newmark had already turned down, so too did he reject Microsoft’s offer.

BANG BANG YOU’RE DEAD!
Oooh my that hurts. The shock of suddenly being told that your business isn’t making any money.

There are so many opportunities how can one choose?

Every time I lead a Dreaming Room® this question comes up. It’s usually asked by someone who has difficulty making up his or her mind. Who is so overwhelmed by the flood of thoughts that run through the mind as to be completely incapacitated by the sheer weight of them? At least that’s how it feels when you’re inside that person, as we all are from time to time. I call it the Reluctant Entrepreneur. I talk about that syndrome a lot in my latest book, E-Myth Mastery: The Seven Essential Disciplines for Building a World Class Business.

User Friendly Award! (Where You'd Least Expect It)

At 6 p.m. Monday, I was out brushcutting. I apparently woke up a yellowjacket neighborhood buried in the mud. In short order, I was stung perhaps a dozen times—one YJ got stuck under my shirt. Luckily, I didn't go into anaphylactic shock. But, in a few hours the reaction was body-wide. I went to an ER the next morning after a truly crappy night. The doc said I should have come at the time—because I had some wheezing, which meant I'd moved in the direction of impeded breathing.

Case History - Sneak Preview of a Candidate

It never ceases to amaze me when clients receive nasty-grams from sales candidates who are - let's call it put-off - by the client's request that they first take our on-line assessment. The candidates receive a very nice email thanking them for sending their resume, explaining the client's recruiting process and asking them to take the assessment. You just wouldn't believe some of the notes I've seen. Name calling, cussing, threats, sarcasm, and more. Here's a typical sample:

Global Business Requires Healthy Dose of Local Alliances, Thinking

It's wonderful to see how indignant innocent little Google can become when someone out-hacks, out-snoops them. For crying out loud don't the folks who did that understand that providing information is the way Google makes its money??? If that weren't bad enough, Eric can not only not sit in on Steve's board meetings where some hot new ideas must have been discussed but now Steve doesn't even like Eric's company motto -- man is nothing sacred? On the Internet the answer is no! Your every keyclick is followed by someone -- yes even ours !!!

Take Note

I would like to focus on something, that at first glance, may appear rather trivial. In fact it might seem so inane that you are wondering why I am even writing about it. It’s ‘note taking’. I learnt a very salient, if not embarrassing, lesson in my early 20’s. When in my first sales consulting role I turned up to a sales meeting with a prospective client with no obvious note taking materials. Up until that time I had never been told to take notes by my managers. I hadn’t thought about talking notes myself. I relied on my memory.

Impossible Achievements

Last weekend, I did something that I thought was impossible. I broke a piece of wood into two pieces with my bare hand. I was in total shock afterward, but a good kind of shock. Breaking that wood was such a stretch for me that afterward, my mind started to play tricks on me. I wondered if I did really do it. Luck for me, there was a room full of people watching me and could verify that I did actually do it. AND I have the piece of wood to prove it!

Helping Staff Recover After A Layoff
Layoffs are wrenching for companies in many ways. First, there is the sobering reality that layoffs are necessary for the bottom line. Next come the anguishing decisions about what areas to cut, followed by the unpleasant task of sharing the news. No wonder company leaders want to wash their hands of this matter once they hand out the severance packages.

Leadership Accountability

When a person is hired or promoted to a management position, where people are required to report directly to them, inherent in that action is accountability for those employee's performance and productivity. This often comes as a surprise or shock to a manager when they receive their first performance review and it is less than satisfactory. A sales person is solely responsible for himself or herself and the work they perform. Once promoted to management this accountability for what others may or may not accomplish is new territory for them.

Life can be good after getting laid off

You received a pink slip today. After your recover from shock, you feel shame and embarrassment. You are in denial and disbelief.

You want to crawl in a hole and cover yourself. You finally share the news with your family and they are surprised and disappointed, as well.

Surviving A Tough Economy Requires Focused Workers

The unemployment rate now exceeds 9% and workers are scared. If a member of their family has not lost their job, they know someone who has. If they're lucky to still have their job, they may have had their pay cut, hours reduced, or seen their retirement fund evaporate. It's ugly and though we may be seeing faint signs of recovery, job losses are expected to hit 10% before we escape this economic calamity. Surviving in a tough economy requires a two-prong approach-addressing the immediate crisis, while positioning your organization for the long-term. Too many managers sacrifice their future by simply focusing on today.

A crisis is a terrible thing to waste

So what if the economy is hitting a rough spot? Once you’ve invested more in your customers, cut off the dead limbs, watered the good ones, and given your employees a chance to really shine your company is going to be stronger. If you have cash, there are great deals to be had, if you have good credit, banks are still lending. Everybody is willing to negotiate. It is a buyer’s market. Warren Buffet said “be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.” Right now high quality talent is plentiful, there are many exceptional talents looking for work and many that will work at rates favorable to your clients’ new reality. Start the hunt, hire people you couldn’t afford 12 months ago, whether full time, part time or as a contractor.

The Myth of Multitasking: How Doing It All Gets Nothing Done

Multitasking has become something of a heroic word in our vocabulary. Many executives pride themselves on their ability to “multitask”. Recent job descriptions that I have seen even ask that potential employees have the ability to multitask. A current national commercial sings the praises of multitasking. However, multitasking, as most people understand it, is deceptively counter-productive. Multitasking is tremendously costly. Multitasking hurts us every time we attempt to engage in it.

Are Sales People Born or Made?

When I started this business, five and a half years ago, I think I would have given up very quickly if I thought sales people were born. I was terrible at sales – it was very definitely a skill I had to learn. I’m sure like anything else, there are some people who don’t need to be taught anything about sales – they just naturally know what to do and how to do it. But, not me. It was something I had to learn how to do.
