Acccccccelerated Learning: The [Remarkable] Power of Screwing Up
I had a chance to preview Dan Coyle's forthcoming The Talent Code: Unlocking the Secret of Skill in Sports, Art, Music, Math, and Just About Anything. In short, I thought the book was a marvel—explaining pockets of amazing talent, such as Brazil and football-soccer, and, based in part on new findings in neuroscience, turning conventional ideas about teaching and learning on their head. I'll have more to say when The Talent Code appears, and Dan, I hope, will consent to becoming a Cool Friend. In a rather trivial (however, not to me at the time) way I had a chance to practice parts of what Dan discovered—and was stunned at the efficacy of his findings in this small case.

Why paying attention to where you are in the business lifecycle will help you - part 3
In parts 1 and 2, I discussed the first 4 phases of a typical business lifecycle; from its very first days to reaching maturity. In this article, the last of the series, I’ll discuss typical characteristics of a business that has developed to a stage where its owners are expanding. I’ll also discuss how to identify a business that has reached its peak and is now declining and the merits of reviewing exit strategies for its owners.

With a Little Help from my Friends Others or Even Strangers
Do you know what almost all successful business owners have in common? They all possess the ability to ask for what they need, no matter who they have to approach in order to bring them closer to their goals. Depending on one’s personality, this could be one of the scariest parts about business. Being afraid of making cold calls, soliciting business from potential clients, and/or being rejected the 8-9 times out of 10 (which is typical for a business owner) is often what causes most businesses to fail.

GAPS, SWOT and Segments, Oh, My
SWOT is an acronym for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. When performed normally, this type of analysis yields almost cursory and useless results. Typical responses when looking at an organization as a whole include comments about having good people (a strength), lacking suitable space (a weakness), growth of a business in a strong economic market (an opportunity) or the presence of a competitor (a threat). This provides a brief snapshot of where an organization is and what might be on the horizon in very high overview. This approach contains only the singular dimension of flat area.
Using the Right SMB Sales Approach
The sales approach to employ in the SMB accounts depends upon a number of factors, such as the culture of your organization, the offerings you sell, and what the customer needs from you in the sales process. Knowing when to use a solution sales approach versus a consultative sales approach is a dilemma that confronts many sellers and directly impacts your odds of success.

Profitable Online business Ideas and the Recession; Increase Your Income
In these economic hard times everyone senses a high degree of fear and unrest. The typical reaction most people have is to “tighten your belt!” Many people will seek a part time job. Others will cling ever tighter to the job they have. Cutting corners and shaving the family budget is surely the norm. All of these things are a typical reaction. But is there another way?

Ask These Questions Before Becoming A Franchisee
Recently I took a short business trip which required some air travel. My traveling companion on the way back, not getting my subtle hint of isolation that my Ipod Touch and headphones projected asked me about my trip and then my profession. What followed was a series of questions that started out in very familiar terms: "You know, I have always wondered about getting into business for myself but I'm not sure I'm qualified or that it's right for me. " What followed was most of the following questions that are commonplace and typical. So, in only a mild order of importance or, more to the point the way they seem to flow, are my twelve or so typical questions people have burning in their bosoms about franchise business ownership.

Why DO Idiots Eat Their Young? And, Is it a Bad thing?
If we compare the typical "idiot" in business to the starving family patriarch in the cruelest of winters, interesting parallels start to surface. Consider the challenge of feeding a family to the typical business leader that must financially feed his or her team. Imagine the bad winter as analogous to the challenging business climate and the story starts to sizzle.

How Do I Know Which Sales Questions to Ask?
Many sales organizations will prepare lists of questions and hand them out to salespeople. You can even download lists of questions from many websites. The problem with that approach is that you still don't know what to ask when. It would be much better for you to prepare your own guidepost sales questions to fit your typical sales situations. Guidepost questions move the sales conversation the direction you want it to go. And it's always better to use a question to direct a conversation than an explanation.

Do you work with jerks?
Did you ever wonder how much time is spent being annoyed (or annoying others) at work? A whopping 93 percent of workers report being negatively affected by an inability to deal with conflict on the job. They are told to "forget it", "deal with it on personal time" or "it's no big deal". Fortune 500 HR executives spend up to one-fifth of their time dealing with litigation activities. And a typical manager spends about 30 percent of a typical day dealing with disgruntled employees.
