Emotional Fullfilment - Controlling Your Own Destiny
When you think of becoming a businessperson by making the transition from employee to Franchisee, you don't generally think in terms of emotional fulfillment. However, in reality, the evaluation of emotional factors should play a significant role in making that final decision to join the world of the capitalist, or remain in the realm of employee.
What it Takes to Get More Appointments
Without question, the most popular requests I receive each week are for help with making appointments and, specifically, creating positioning statements. For example, Pat and I traded about 6 emails over the past 10 days to get his positioning statements just right. But what if you nail your positioning statement but you're still struggling to get appointments? My guess is that you're doing one of the following things ineffectively...

List the Basics for Making Any Sale
There is a Ford Mustang for sale down the street. I've driven by it several times. It's a 1966 . . . or maybe a 1967. Every once in a while I stop in the middle of the street next to the car and look at the sign. All it says is "For Sale: $4000 obo" and the phone number. This tells me very little of what I need to know about the vehicle. It gives me no reason to call. No matter what you are trying to sell, and everyone is selling something, you need to provide the basics of your product or service.

The Dollar Sign
The dollar sign represents a different message to different people, depending on their conditioning and outlook on life. In our increasingly Collectivist society, I think it is important for every entrepreneur to clarify his internal representation and translation of the Dollar Sign.
Sample Non Disclosure Agreement
An intermediary should always sign a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement (NDA). It is a 1 to 5 page document that acknowledges you have sensitive information that if released could harm your business and it should not be shared. Venture capitalists, however, will not normally sign a confidentiality agreement. They see so many companies in the same industry that they cannot sign one agreement and risk not being able to invest in other potential good deals.
What I Bought WIth $81,000,000
The other day I was driving 30 minutes to go to a client’s networking event and I saw a sign that pumped me up for the entire day. It was the lottery sign showing the jackpot at $81million. I started thinking about what I’d do with that much money
The Magic of Jiffy Lube, Sales Adaptability and Plagiarism
Perhaps you've noticed that while driving past a Jiffy Lube during (slow times for them) your commute there may be a mechanic out front, holding a sign, offering a discount, hoping you'll pull in. I don't know about you, but I am not particularly moved by a guy in a jump suit waving for me to stop. But it made me wonder, does this work?

To Succeed, You Must Stop Doing This!
As women entrepreneurs, one of the things we do all the time is to pass through our successes very quickly! Well, I'm here to tell you that this habit, this practice, must stop. It must stop here and it must stop now. Let me tell you why.

Outdoor Billboard Business - The Incorrect Assumption on Billboard Height
When I first got into the outdoor billboard business, I assumed that the taller the sign, the better the sign. When I was driving down the interstate and I saw a really tall billboard, I would think to myself, “Now there’s a valuable sign”.

The Vehicle Of Your Soul
I love the clients I work with. They are so committed to making a difference in the world. Many of them are like high performance racing cars. They speed around the track of life at breath-taking speeds. Unfortunately, many of them have refused to make a pit stop or take a break between races and their bodies, the vehicles of their soul, show sign of severe wear and tear, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Just like it's necessary to take our cars into the shop for servicing, it's important that we stop driving ourselves with our to-do lists long enough to reflect on old habits and attitudes that can rob us of our joy and can lead to serious breakdowns.
Vision plus Goals plus action equals Success
Stop hesitating, stop holding back, stop trying to put your life and dreams into a box that fits what others think. Ask yourself and be honest: What is it you really want to accomplish? What is your real vision for your life?

What Leaders Can Learn from "The King's Speech"
Accepting support isn't a sign of weakness; it's a sign of courage and strength. Only strong, self-aware leaders can analyze a situation and see, realistically, what they can or cannot face alone.
