Lesson #4: Tune In and Pay Attention
“It’s about broadening your scope through history and living your life,” says Lauren. “Tune in and pay attention.”

Tuning into Tastes: The Secret of Jones Soda’s Success
“If you’re able to listen to customers from their perspective, not everything they say will make sense,” says van Stolk. “Not everything they do will be right. But you’ll know more about what you have to do because of it.”
But I Need It Now! Earning Extra Income On The Internet
The world is suffering from a pretty nasty global economic meltdown and more and more people are looking for ways to bring in a few extra dollars each month. While you could go and find a part time job somewhere - assuming there are places that are hiring - you could also find ways to earn money by using your computer skills.
It’s my judgment, so it must be right!
One of the most fascinating lies we tell ourselves is if we believe something to be true, right or so, it must be. The fact is, much of what we try to convince ourselves and others as true is often a matter of judgment based on ego. If something is happening that we simply don’t approve of, then obviously it is wrong. Or so the thinking for many people goes. Learn a simple technique for minimizing judgment.

Business Mistakes. You Want a Successful Business – So Don’t Do This!
All entrepreneurs have to learn from their own mistakes as they build their business, but wouldn’t it be great to have some one tell you what the common mistakes are and how to avoid them? Well here are the common business mistakes – don’t do them!
How Does Your Business Stack Up to your Competition?
Recently we have been hearing more and more about business failures like Circuit City and Linens and Things. These “Big Box” retailers showed tremendous growth over the past years. The concept rolled into town in earnest over a decade ago and was instantly embraced by consumers. Their creation facilitated the birth of the “Power Center” and wreaked havoc on locally owned small businesses. Wall Street applauded the growth curve of these concepts and rewarded the stock price with each announcement of new store openings. Once they hit maturation, the same store sales “boogey man” kicked in.

Recession - What Recession??
According to the media and the government we are heading into the worst recession for nearly 20 years. But the business people I talk to are not experiencing anything like the gloom and doom that the media dish up every morning on the news. Even if we were, would it really mean much to the average business??
Looking Inside to Create What we Want
Before looking outwards at our prospects and customers, we need to look at ourselves, because each of us is a unique human being with our own desires, dreams, problems and thoughts. To understand how we can communicate and therefore sell more effectively we need to understand the human communication process.
Selfish Much?
My definition of selfishness is ... Loving myself enough to create time for daily activities that honor who I am. Practicing this sort of extreme self care allows me to be a better wife, mother, life coach, mentor, and friend.
Franchise Marketing Plan

Web Hosting Templates
Especially if you’re new to the whole website design thing, then web hosting templates are sure to have a lot of appeal for you. Many templates look good to the eye because they are designed by experts and usually use the latest in design software. If you don’t know what you’re doing, then templates do offer an advantage. On the other hand, however, templates have numerous disadvantages, the both of which this article will explore below.

Be Your Own Adjective
What does it mean to become your own adjective? It means you live your values, talents, tastes or style so passionately and openly that others know exactly what you stand for without needing to ask you.

Customers Needs-The One and Only Way to Know For Sure What To Sell
If it were up to me there would only be two or three flavors of ice cream ever created. If you don't love chocolate chip and strawberry ice cream it is a good thing for you my tastes and desires aren't the holy grail of what sells! Don't let your preferences and desires determine what you sell. And for your businesses sake, don't assume that your preferences are shared by your customer. Desire and motivation is unique to each of us. Even if we ultimately purchase the same product we often do so for very different reasons and therefore need to be marketed to differently.
Making Leadership Stick
Personal and professional growth is not a sure thing process. In order to discover things about yourself or about how the business works, you must be allowed to “experiment”, and the leader who is always telling people what to do misses out on a very important part of the whole growth cycle. It’s been said that success is a poor teacher, and in the area of growth, if you are always winning, how can you know what real success tastes like if you haven’t tasted any sort of failure.
Your Circle of Influence: What is their impact on your life?
As human beings, our lives are shaped and influenced by a myriad of factors, and relationships is at the top of the list. Think about how much of "who you are today" was influenced by a specific parent, sibling, relative, teacher, coach, neighbor, author, speaker, boss, co-worker, spouse or friend. Values, habits, behavior, knowledge, skills, passions, hobbies, tastes and attitudes are typically learned through association with others. Yet, as influential as relationships are, most people haven't consciously chosen their greatest "circle of influence".
Online Video Commercials are the future of internet advertising
In the last 10 years Internet advertising has grown at a tremendous rate until it’s become the largest form of advertising in the UK. However, with this growth we have also seen massive change in how we use the Internet to advertise. As people’s consumption and tastes have moved on, so has how companies use the Internet to reach us with their marketing messages.
Multilingual Marketing
About 75% of the world’s population speak no English at all. At present count, that’s some five billion people you’re not able to reach if your online presence is English-language only. Add to that findings by the Chartered Institute of Marketing that ‘export sales of companies that make an effort to understand each nation’s way of life, consumer tastes, culture and language are growing by, on average, £290K per company per year,’ and you have a powerful incentive to go multilingual with your online marketing. Here’s how...
If I Were King
Sometimes it's fun to imagine how the world would be different if you were in control. IF I WERE KING, people who did not vote would not be allowed to complain. The three good TV shows on each week would not be aired at the same time on different channels. Good weather would be given a priority on weekends and holidays. Telephone solicitors would only be allowed to call your house when you're not home; that way, they could talk to everyone's answering machine. Food that tastes good would be good for you. Junk mail would only come one day a month. Airlines would have to tell you the truth about when you were really going to leave-if ever. When a store advertised a half-price sale, it really would be.

A Logo Isn\'t A Tattoo! Why Your Personal Tastes Have Nothing To Do With Your Logo
I designed her first round of the logo to reflect the brand that she'd been setting up for herself. But, when she got the initial designs, I got an almost immediate call back - she hated them! We talked a bit about her brand, her clients and their tastes, and all of the things that I take into consideration when designing a brand. And we talked about how the sketches reflected those considerations. But then the real problem came out - she actually had a bigger vision for her logo.
“…So you’re sayin’ there’s a chance?”
Okay, my tastes in movies are not very refined – I like funny and happy. Remember that great scene in Dumb and Dumber where Lloyd (Jim Carrey) and Harry (Jeff Daniels) have driven across the country to reconnect with Lloyd’s dream girl, Mary (Lauren Holly)? Lloyd: What do you think the chances are of a guy like you and a girl like me... ending up together?
