Lesson #4: A Great Businessman is Only as Great as His Vision
What is the difference between an average point guard and a great point guard? According to Johnson, it all lies in the vision. Great point guards see the court differently than everyone else. They envision where they need to go and how they are going to get there before they even touch the ball. Johnson, unarguably one of basketball’s greatest point guards ever, used that very same vision in crossing over to the business world.

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.
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?
Mastering Sales and Sales Management
Do you and your salespeople have a passion for sales? What is the thing you do that is equal to repeated listening, watching or practicing? What do you do to know your material cold? Do you attend training as often as you attend concerts, theater or movies?

Inspirational Leadership: It's About Them, Not You
The bottom line is this: if you want to inspire someone to give you their best, you have to stop looking and acting like a theater critic and, instead, come across with empathy and appreciation. To do that, you first need the mindset that the discussion should be less about you and more about the other person... and then you need to practice (with good help) to make it happen....
Tellywood Works to Reach You Any, Every Way They Can
NAB is still sorta about TV and movies...but with a difference. The difference is huge. They're trying to figure out how to hook you up with their content, stuff, rather than letting the other guy suck you in. So they're trying all the angles smartphone, tablet, notebook. Heck even the TV and theater. Seems as though you've given up work, exercise, just about everything to watch content anytime, anywhere, anyhow. They haven't figured out exactly how to make money on it all yet but they do like what Netflix has done over the past year. Maybe they'll try their own channels of distribution shortly...maybe.

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.

Get Inspired: Silence Your Cell Phone
We're blessed to be able to spend some of the winter in our second home in California, and here, it's time for the Palm Springs Film Festival. There are few indoor activities as fun as watching movies (I didn't say there were none), and we often think of early January as "cinema season." And for those seeking inspiration, the movie theater may be just the place....
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.
