Your Image Can Affect Your Success
Recently one of my clients was looking to hire a financial controller for her business. Out of all the people who applied, the most suitable person was John.

Wikipedia for Patents
John Funk, an entrepreneur (I’m an investor in John’s newest company – Evergreen IP) and friend has a innovative proposal up concerning changing the rules on the current patent system. I’ve been on both sides of the patent aisle with John – we like to joke that early on in our relationship John’s company sued one of my companies (and then my company sued John’s company back) for patent infringement (the companies settled several years later for a cross license and $1 – much to the delight of the lawyers who got all the bucks.) Fortunately we got past all that crap and have developed a nice friendship.

Coyote
Met a young man by the name of Coyote who works at the hotel in St. John's. He told us all the cool places to visit downtown. Coyote is interesting to me because he announced to me that he has no ambition, no desire to achieve anything other than climb rocks for the rest of his life. So he goes around from state park to state park and gets odds and ends jobs to give him just the means to work the rocks in the area.

Marketing Software
I have a friend named John who I met a few years back at a business convention. Due to our similar interest in startups, we hit if off right away. John was just working on getting his public relations company off the ground and running, and with the amount of passion he always had for this business, I had no doubt he would be able to do so. But, after having lunch with John the other week, I realized something; three years after I had first met him, John was still struggling to get his business off the ground. It wasn’t because he wasn’t dedicated. Rather, after talking to him, I realized he was missing out on having one big advantage: marketing software.

How to decide when you need a written agreement (and when you don’t)
“You have a deal!” said John as he reached over to shake Paul’s hand. Paul was elated. He knew the new business venture could reap rewards for both parties. However, Paul had been burnt before in a similar deal and knew he should have a written agreement with John. But, he wasn’t sure John would go for it – and he didn’t want to lose the deal.

Success Through A Positive Mentor
"Success Through A Positive Mentor" is John Paul Carinci's story of how a chance meeting with an Olympic champion at age 21 changed John forever. by John Paul Carinci: author of "The Power Of Being Different" (c- 1998 John Paul Carinci)

Negativity Has Left the Building: Focus on the Positive & Show Negativity the Door
John was at his wits end because his sales team had gone negative, they were selling less and he could see his ship had sprung a major leak and was going down. I gave John an exercise to do over the next 3 weeks to show negativity the door.

Give them wings and they will fly
To get the best out of your staff you really have to know them. If you are able to connect with your employees you are going a long way to being a successful manager. Take a typical supervisor, John, in an organisation. Could you answer the following questions about him? Why does John want to work for you? What has been his greatest achievement this year? Does he have a professional goal for 2010? How long has John been working for you? If you are unable to answer any of these questions about one of your own employees then you are probably out of touch with your staff, and out of touch with your business.

CFO vs. Controller: Understanding the Differences
There are two primary types of financial leadership within top organizations: the CFO and the Controller. Many growing organizations do not have a clear understanding of the two positions, often overlooking the value that a CFO could bring to their business. To determine what level of financial leadership an organization requires, a Controller and/or CFO, it is first important to decipher the differences between the two roles.
