P.T. Barnum Quotes
Lesson #3: There is a Danger in Dreaming Too Big
“Many persons are always kept poor, because they are too visionary,” Barnum said. “Every project looks to them like certain successes, and therefore they keep changing from one business to another, always in hot water, always ‘under the harrow.’” When Barnum was struggling to find his way in the work world, he did just that – struggle. His early career paths were as varied as could be. From a lottery agent to a store clerk to a newspaper editor, Barnum tried his hand at a number of different ventures. However, he learned the hard way that was a danger in spreading himself so thin. None of the schemes proved especially successful, forcing Barnum to reexamine his priorities, interests and capabilities.

I've been writing a lot about this topic lately and thinking about it more. I have a radical proposal for you, but it takes a few paragraphs, so I hope you'll bear with me.
Live at 5 – Handling The TV Interview
Business or personal, everyone seems to love a great scandal, solid news (as long as it's not their own). As flat as organizations are today any executive, manager can be reached for an interview. The most stressful is when you're sitting/standing with a TV camera facing you and the news person wants information, answers. Few professional newspeople (print, radio, TV, web, blog) are out to dig up dirt just to get the information...honest information. We're fortunate. We've had several years of being the interviewer (early in our career) and four confrontational interview courses. Done right the entire news interview experience can be good for the organization and you. The problem is you always have your best responses right after the interview. There's no retake in an interview...any interview.

Are You Hearing What I’m Saying? – 10 Tips That Will Help You Improve Your Listening
Ernest Hemingway once said "When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen." How true that is. How many times has someone asked you how you were, but doesn't take the time to listen to your response? They may cut you off, start talking about themselves, or walk away. If you're like most people, this behavior probably leaves a sour taste in your mouth. People want to be heard and listened to; they want to feel like someone cares. If you find that your listening skills are poor or need tweaking, this article provides tips on how to be a better listener.

8 Critical Listening Skills Factors for Managers
As a manager, your listening skills play a vital role in a lot of real life situations, especially your workspace. How well you listen to your employees can have a big impact on the kind of work output you achieve. Yet listening isn't that difficult, when you know the tricks...
Priorities Are Out
By definition, entrepreneurs are creative people with a lot of energy and a never-ending stream of ideas. In addition many are in business for themselves with very little support. This means they have to juggle a wide range of tasks each and every week, including some they don't love. To make matters worse, some of the time management guidelines and standards developed twenty-something years ago have caused many people to pack far more in their day than truly possible. There's one truth that can set you free. Read the article to learn more.
DEFENDING YOUR TIME
Time management is not so much about managing our own time as preventing other people managing it for us.

Can Multitasking Ruin Your Work Life Balance?
We have become so conditioned to multitasking that we have forgotten how to be 'fully present' and do just one thing at a time? Yet this is one of the keys to successfully balancing your work and family life.
Taking Pause
Many people struggle with finding time to fit everything into their busy schedules. We often neglect our health and well-being in favor of completing tasks. We don’t exercise. We don’t eat right. We don’t even relax. We think that we just don’t have the time to take pause in the midst of so much activity. Meditative activities are so important to weave into our lives that I wanted to provide an even easier way to incorporate it.
Purposeful Meditation
Meditation is a powerful tool used by millions of people worldwide as a method to reduce stress, increase spiritual growth and impact overall health and wellness. Unfortunately, there are many myths stigmatizing the art of meditation. Meditation is often thought of as a “clearing of the mind”. This could not be further from the truth. Learn how to be comfortable with including meditation as a part of your daily balance routine.

Give it your all and grow through technology
Advice For Startups - Give it your all. A lot of people start a business and will try to run it initially on a part-time basis. They also have a fall back job, just in case the business doesn’t develop. If you’re to succeed you have to commit to the project. You really have to put 100% into it. It may mean not having a steady stream of money coming in the door (in other words, being poor for the first few years as the business develops a client list). I don't think you can make a go of it if you only put some time into it rather than your full undivided attention. You have to give up everything else and put 100% into your company. You have to do it full time - sales, marketing, accounting and client servicing.

Focus on Revenue
The first item on the list was "Focus on revenue, not the economy". You'll get what you pay attention to. If you pay attention to how bad things might become, you'll get lots of bad results. If you pay attention to how well you must do, you'll get good results.

The Eyeballs You Already Have
It's always easier to get more attention from the people who are already paying attention to you--and to bring them back as customers, far more cheaply and easily than going after strangers. This month, a few easy strategies to get more attention from your existing list:

Integrity as a Catalyst
Integrity has always been one of the qualities I admire and respect most in others. The definition of integrity is: The quality or condition of being whole or undivided; completeness. Simply put, someone who lives in integrity honors their personal values - actions and choices align with an internal code. There is nothing inside that is divided; they are whole. Honesty is another dimension to integrity -- spoken words reflecting the inner world without distortion. Integrity is also about honoring your word and following through with commitments. defi
How to Use Active Listening to Enhance Communication Skills?
In today’s world, communication skill is critical. A good part of communication skill is listening skills. A good listener shows that he is interested in what the other person has to say and through active listening can demonstrate his or her interest in the topic. Active listening is a skill that everyone can learn. All you need to do is to follow a set of principles and keep practising until you get it right. Active listening is about showing your undivided attention to others in a way to maximise the effectiveness of the communication while also showing the other person that you are listening to them.

Developing Your Elevator Speech
Every successful sales person has an Elevator Speech prepared, polished, and ready to use whenever they have a minute or two of your undivided attention – like they would during an elevator ride from the top floor of a building to the bottom floor.
Sales Presentations That Command Attention
One of the key challenges in any sales presentation is communicating a message that makes prospects pay attention. Amid all the clutter and noise that exists in the marketplace, how do we get those with whom we most want to do business with, to pay attention to us? Obviously, that’s a complex question and the answer quite frankly is that there are a lot of factors. But if we go to ground zero, that point where we are first trying to get attention, there is one element that we most want to focus on.

New Penn State Coach - Just Like Dysfunctional Sales Management
Officials at Penn State will introduce Bill O'Brien as their first new head football coach in nearly 50 years. He will be responsible for rebuilding the football program and through that, the image of the school. That will be one difficult job and it begins immediately. Today, Bill O'Brien is still the offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots. Because the Patriots are the #1 seed in the playoffs, Bill O'Brien has another challenging job - preparing and helping the Patriots offense, led by future Hall of Fame Quarterback Tom Brady, to compensate for their own pathetic defense, as they attempt to advance to another Super Bowl championship. Bill O'Brien. One coach - two full time jobs. Both teams need his immediate, undivided attention and won't get all that they need.
