'How do you explain NLP to others?'
Here's a straightforward, practical and easy-to-digest way of explaining what NLP is, at its core. This description has been used very successfully by NLP enthusiasts with many, many skeptics around the world. Enjoy!
Lesson #1: Build Byte By Byte
“I've learned from experience that a company can grow too fast,” says Dell. “You have to be careful about expanding into new businesses because if you get into too many too quickly, you won't have the experience or the infrastructure to succeed.”
Lesson #3: Know When to Throw Away the Rule Book
“Every well-intentioned, high-judgment person we asked told us not to do it,” Bezos recalls of his early goal to create Amazon.com and offer one million, many hard to find book titles online. Some people said he shouldn’t try to sell more than 300,000 titles, while others said he shouldn’t bother trying to sell any whatsoever – after all, selling books was not an online sort of venture, they said. “We got some good advice, we ignored it, and it was a mistake,” says Bezos. “But that mistake turned out to be one of the best things that happened to the company.”

Seasons of Success: How Sharp Took His Hotel To The Top
“I started just from building one [hotel], it worked so let’s build another, and it worked so three went to four,” recalls Sharp. “It’s a matter of what I call stepping-stones.” He may not have set out to create the world’s largest network of luxury hotels, but that is exactly what happened. In the over forty years since he first entered the business, Sharp has taken the hotel industry by storm, transforming the idea of service and quality, and doing things on his own terms. What were the factors that helped this Canadian hotelier succeed?
Lesson #5: Knowing When to Engage is Half the Battle
To the entrepreneur, the saying ‘Timing is everything’ has a sacred significance. No matter what your business or how many people you serve, there is such a thing as catching the right waves. Anticipating the market and timing your entry or exit is one of the most difficult, yet crucial aspects of starting any business. It is, however, one that Li Ka-shing has managed to master over his almost sixty years in business.

Lesson #1: Market Your Product as a One of a Kind
When Kellogg and his brother first came up with their idea for toasted corn flakes, it was a novel one. But at the same time, there were another 40 companies in Battle Creek, Michigan producing cold cereals. Corn flakes might have been unique, but the breakfast food industry was rapidly growing, and Kellogg knew he had to find a way to make his product stand out from the rest. He found that way through marketing.

Movies by Mail: How Netflix Netted Billions
Netflix is one of the most closely watched home entertainment companies around. Why? The reason lies not only in its current success, but in Hastings’ intent to continue to roll out many of the latest technologies, including Blu-ray and video-streaming into the company’s services. But how did this once-math teacher in rural Africa create a billion-dollar business that has become a household name?

Social Media: Should you or shouldn't you for your business?
After speaking at a recent Women’s Network Australia event in Brisbane, and watching everyone take lots of notes, I decided to put some of my talk down into a paper. There is a lot to cover in this sphere, so here are some points to help people utilise social media more effectively.
Don't listen to the non-believers: Find out things for yourself!
Skeptics and non-believers are everywhere. They cast doubt on the existence of things that turn out to be real good. Studies show that the beliefs of non-believers are in fact based not on evidence and logic but mostly on emotion that may be formed by a negative experience. For example, when people fall prey to Internet scams and pyramid schemes, they begin to be prejudiced against online marketing and look at it as evil. The truth is there is a good and bad side to every human enterprise. The few bad eggs in network marketing are simply not enough to spoil the whole basket.
Your Franchise Choice and Risk
If you were to ask a franchise candidate, "Why do you want to start a business?" You are first going to hear such things as... I want more control More flexibility More time with the family, Better work/life balance ...and I want to keep more of what I work so hard to generate Or, put another way, many people enter franchising because they believe the effort they expend to create riches for others would be best spent in generating wealth for themselves...or, at least MORE wealth than they are currently accumulating from their efforts in their chosen and current career.

What Cold Calling Taught Me and Why I don't do it anymore.
"Hey, Diane. This is Michele. How's it going?" Sound familiar? If you've said those words before, you most likely have done cold calling. It taught me something that took me by surprise. It catapulted me into a direction I didn't see coming.

Facebook skeptics…
Just wanted to post something short and sweet today. I’m still a little perturbed about my meeting at work on Tuesday, so I decided to post some opportunities the new Facebook layout proposes for businesses. My theory is that if I can potentially present sound principles that shift traditional thinking it may become easier to sway the skeptics.
How to Deal with Skepticism & Get Sales Success

5 Myths About Buying A Vending Franchise Business
Many people enter into business opportunities, clinging to their pre-conceived notions, and this is especially true when it comes to vending machine franchises. Whether the thought is, "you can’t make very much money when it’s only a quarter at a time" or "there are already too many vending machines for a new one to make a profit," the truth about vending franchises may surprise you. To that end, here are five myths about buying a vending franchise business and plenty of data and evidence why there is very little truth, if any, behind them.

Your 1000 Day Vision
This piece is about choosing where you are going to be in 1000 days (i.e., three year’s time). Before you skeptics come up with your “yeah, buts,” let me say that part of me agrees with you! I’m usually wary about the idea of having a grand plan knowing that plans and reality can be very different. Real life can sometimes turn out to be much better than our plans! But the idea behind this piece is to identify key areas in your life and to really visualize what you want in them. After all, this is about looking at who you would like to be 1000 days from now and making your fantasies a reality.

Alcock Borrows a Page from Gershon?
“In what has been described as the most significant restructuring of public services for a generation, the rest of the $21 billion (in savings) will have to come from overall efficiency gains such as improving the procurement system, and streamlining areas such as information technology and human resources. That’s why the skeptics are skeptical.”
Are there 80,000 reasons that Alcock borrowed a page from Gershon?

Legal Marketing: Social Media and Law Firms
Despite what the skeptics say, social media can be a powerful marketing and business development tool for law firms.
