Think Rich - Don't Spend Money As If You Are Rich
Do you need to start changing the way you think about spending money? When you want something, you have to learn to ask 'how will I pay for this' - not 'which card has enough room on it for this'.

Just stop, take a breath, and ask yourself 'How am I going to pay for this'. If it's not from passive income or portfolio income, it might be time to acquire some and then pay for the item. Start thinking like a rich person - not spending like you were a rich person.

Unfortunately, this type of manager is often disappointed when the team is unable to achieve the desired results. The organization loses because talented subordinates may get burned out and leave or never get the development they need to become future leaders in their own right.

Business and Friendships: Keeping the Lines Divided
Can business and friendships happily co-exist? Certainly, if the lines are not crossed and respect is given from both sides. Much too often ill feelings can arise when friends attempt to do business with each other.

I hear time and time again how this has happened to many business owners, especially women in business.

AVOID THE REVENUE ROLLERCOASTER TRAP WITH CONSISTENT LEAD GENERATION
By Mike Schultz and John Doerr Many consulting, professional, and technology service businesses find themselves trapped in the following vicious, no-growth cycle. The firm is either: Heavily marketing because they don't have enough leads and new business, or Heavily billing and delivering, and thus have no time for marketing, lead generation, and selling. We call this the service revenue rollercoaster. It's a common trap for many professional service companies because when they get busy they can't sustain their marketing momentum...they're too busy with client work. Then, when the client work slows down, they must start marketing from square-one all over again, as all momentum from previous marketing efforts has stalled.

We are always focused on sales cycles. Are they optimized? Are they taking too long? Can they be improved? How many calls should they take?
