Reduction to the Achievable
There is the classic sales technique called “reduction to the ridiculous”, whereby the cost of the item being offered for sale (or the premium above a competitor’s offering) is framed in terms of the cost of a daily cup of coffee. If we take the concept (a big thing made up of tiny pieces) and apply it to goal setting and target achievement, then it becomes a useful tool when undertaking an ambitious objective - "Reduction to the Achievable"

Looking for Sky In All The Wrong Places
Ever sit with a single puzzle piece of clouds and wonder how you will ever put the entire sky together? Life as an entrepreneur is often just like that— lots of the little pieces; like creating products, taking care of clients, wrestling computers, etc.— and a whole lot of sky; the big open space that is creating a successful and enjoyable business. I had so many pieces of ‘puzzle sky’, I was drowning in an ocean of sky blue. After over a decade of struggling with my own company to fit all the ‘pieces’ together, I have finally put together the big business puzzle— and it’s not what I thought it would look like.
Sales Big Picture - Top Salespeople Sell Attractively on Purpose
One of the most frequent complaints of salespeople is the ebb and flow of sales. Getting sales is the goal of a salesperson. Now step back. What is one of the first pieces in selling? Maybe prospecting? Take another step back. Maybe marketing? There are at least three strategic pieces with their tactics to increase both your understanding and successful actions in the buying and selling process.
The BIG Pieces Go in First

Put the BIG pieces in first, and give them the necessary time, energy and focus to create the balanced, satisfying life you deserve.

The New Age of Niche Marketing
As internet marketing became flooded with products, niche marketing was born. This was called the separation age. People started staying away from huge information products that were created with hundreds of pages and instead started separating themselves from the crowd and focused on tiny niche topics. Now, while there is still money to be made by focusing on tiny untapped markets competition is pouring in and the well is drying up.

The Good Life
You awaken from a deep sleep, it’s about 6am, and you have a smile on your face. You slept great… better than you have in a long time… and after a few minutes of laying there listening to the birds chirping and watching tiny specks of dust float through the tiny light beams peeking through the shutters, it hits you… The adrenaline.

Why You Might Not be Ready for Publicity
Often clients come to me because they truly want to get the recognition they deserve in the form of publicity both online and in the media. They’re looking for a starting point to get the word out so they have a general understanding of press releases and strategies. This is an important step in building your brand awareness and increasing credibility. At the same time there are often key foundational pieces missing. Pieces that need to be in place before you really start creating publicity buzz. And, I’m always upfront about that.

Discipline Can Be Habit Forming
Good and bad habits are tiny daily choices that accumulate. Each choice is a small wire that is woven together with hundreds of other little choices. Eventually these wires form a strong cable. Like a child that grows a tiny amount each day, our tiny choices accumulate without much notice. By the time we realize we have either a good or a bad habit, the habit has us.
The Three-Part Harmony in Your Logo
Just as a harmonized song is made up of a set of three notes, every small business's logo should be made up of three pieces of art: the icon, the font, and the color palette. These three pieces all work together, singing the same basic song, to tell your business's story. In your logo, each of them gives you an opportunity to build in meaning and symbolism.
Washing machine rental - Is your idea this good?
In September of last year I made a small loan to a lady in Columbia. Although I don’t know Yaneris Canate Rios personally, she made an application for $1,125 through Kiva.org. In Yaneris’ tiny community of El Milagro the ladies still all washed their clothes by hand. She wanted to purchase 5 washing machines to rent to her neighbors. I provided the last $50 to complete her loan. Each month I would see tiny payments come on – averaging about $3.84 as a repayment on that loan.
