The Five Keys to Success
Do you have the keys to unlocking doors that are now closed for you?
Franchising First Steps
I’VE BOUGHT A FRANCHISE. NOW WHAT? So you’ve bought your franchise and are ready to get started. Before you open the doors and start welcoming customers, you’ll need to have everything ready to go. New franchisees will usually have a lot of help for their Franchisers, but it’s good to be ready for what is coming. From training your employees to securing a location and mastering the skills you’ll need to manage the business, there are a lot of preparatory steps. These things take time and effort, and all of them must be completed before you can actually start doing business. Here is a list of some of the steps you’ll have to take, and issues you’ll need to be ready for when you are getting set to open the doors of your new franchise:
The Serendipity Factor
Incredible things happen independently of those you personally create. I call these serendipitous blessings. When you're pushing hard on door A, someone or something opens door B. Often, when you look through door B, what's behind it is much better than what you were going after in the first place. However, you wouldn't have seen door B open if you hadn't been in the hall pushing on door A. Get in the here and now and look for the other opened doors, or go open some doors on your own.
Get Return Visitors through Engagement
How many times have you found yourself looking at your website statistics and noticed that 90% + of your visitors were brand new? You may have looked at that statistic and found yourself getting excited that so many new people were finding you each month. Well I am not trying to make you feel bad but…. That’s not a good thing. What it should be telling you is that visitors are arriving to your site, possibly clicking into it a bit, and not finding anything memorable enough to make them want to return. Hang on a second … I am not slamming your current site or trying to make you feel as if your company is the only company in this position. It’s actually quite normal. It doesn’t have to be though.
Small Business Growth: Recession Rescue Strategies
This week alone, I have heard from two business owners going "under"... literally closing their doors and, of course, blaming the economy. I must say that both of these companies started out with overwhelming debt, and neither had shown a month of profit since opening their doors. They were both open BEFORE the "recession" hit. Both invested heavily in traditional marketing. Both inquired about hiring a business coach, but never felt it worth the investment. THIS is the Darwinian-like "thinning of the herd" that we will continue to observe in "tough times". But you don't have to be one of those eliminated... So, what can you do NOW to rescue your own business today?
Finding Your Marketing Comfort Zone
So, you’ve got something to say that you think others will find valuable. You’ve created an information-based product and coaching services to enhance and optimize its value. And people are knocking down your doors to buy! While the first part may be true, getting people to knock down your doors to buy from you is the result of finding your marketing comfort zone, which best reflects your services, products and personal gifts and talents.

Don\'t Let The Wrong Google Keywords Ruin Your PPC Campaign!
Sure, you're looking to get as much bang for your buck from your PPC traffic as possible, and who could blame you, after all your are running a business, aren't you. Just make sure that the "bang" you hear is that of the cash register drawer slamming shut, and not your hand slamming against your forehead because of all the money you wasted on ineffective keywords.

5 Tips For Creating Creativity
Writing articles is not a lot more than writing down thoughts about certain topics. You have to maintain the interest of the reader among the "network" of competition and entertain them. Understanding their wants, needs, and interests won't hurt anything either. Creativity is the best way to do this and can be defined differently by personal preference. If one becomes troubled with being creative, you risk losing that potential subscriber, sale, partner... whatever. Painting the picture in the readers mind with your words is not an easy task. I put together a few things that have helped me keep the creativity door from slamming in my face.

Close the door on Opportunity?
Now you have been to this hallway before – but at that time there were some doors open, and some closed. And behind one of those doors you know is Grandfather’s study – and you have been told not to go in there. Standing at the top of the stairs, you know you must make a decision. How you wished Grandmother had been clearer on her instructions!
The “adjacent possibility”
A few years ago biologist and researcher Stuart Kauffman came up with a term he called “the adjacent possible.” It’s a complex theory but here’s a simple way to look at it. Think of being in a house that magically expands with every door you open. You walk into a room and see three more doors leading out. Once you open one of those doors you enter another room with another three doors leading to yet new rooms. Keep opening doors and eventually you’ll realize you’re in an expanding palace.
