Six More Crazy Stories
Many people requested more examples of companies driving their competition crazy. I found six more for you.
5 Ways To Get on Top of the Paperwork
The Wall Street Journal did a survey a few years ago and found that the 'average' white collar worker spends 6 weeks a year looking for things around their office. Do you have a huge challenge coping with the incoming paperwork? (Whatever happened to the paperless office?). Paperwork lands on your desk (or enters you 'in-box') and somehow finds its way into your in-tray. Eventually the in-tray becomes so high it explodes and ends up all over your desktop. That's because you avoided taking action on those messy pieces of paper the moment they arrived. Now you have no option but to sort through the explosion and tidy up the pile or actually do something with the paperwork.

The Ultimate Fighting Champion: Dana White is Born
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) used to be nothing more than an underground fighting league, and one which was scarcely accepted in the U.S. That was, until Dana White came along. White transformed the UFC into one of the most mainstream and popular sports on the scene today. By cleaning up its image and marketing it as a legitimate sport, White was able to create a successful organization, whose events can now be seen on television in more than 35 countries around the world.

Stepping Into the Ring: The UFC Fights Back
“It was around 1997 or 1998 that it all turned around for us,” says White. “We were all boxing guys and I used to think UFC was a joke. I would say, ‘those guys would get their asses kicked by a boxer.” That was, until White and the Feretti brothers began taking Jujitsu lesson, which White says, “opened our eyes to a whole new world. It literally changed my life.”

Recruiting for Dummies
When facing the challenge of recruiting personnel, most organizations out there believe that a job posting and some behavioral based interviews will suffice to hire the best candidates—this is true at some point if you are recruiting for some technical jobs such as machine lifter or tractor driver, not that there is anything wrong with these jobs, but the pool of candidates and degree of job functions and expertise will differ if you are hiring a white collar or top executive.
Best Practices: Creating a Successful White Paper Program
A white paper program is a curriculum of organizational elements and best practices that support companies in delivering a schedule of targeted, well-written white papers over a period of time. A white paper program helps differentiate a company’s approach to technology, positions the company as a thought leader, clearly defines the benefits of proprietary solutions to prospects and investors, and enhances credibility among business leaders and decision makers. This paper reviews best practices for creating a successful white paper program.
Your Limitations - Are they a Black Swan?
umor me for a moment today. Please close your eyes and envision a swan. Now, take a few moments and describe that swan. What words did you use? White, graceful, bird, clean, dirty, ugly duckling, etc. Long ago, in Europe, everyone believed that all swans were white. Why was that? Well, it was because all anyone had ever seen were swans that were white. Everyone thought that until in 1967. That was when Australia was found as well as the black swan. So what does this have to do with organizing or productivity? Keep reading to find out! Don't limit yourself!

Business To Business Franchises: 5 Compelling Reasons To Own One
Those who possess good selling skills, enjoy building meaningful and productive relationships, and the challenge of interacting with fellow business owners and managers, rather than consumers, will find some excellent opportunities worth investigating in the Business To Business franchise category. Your options are numerous, whether you have background in a white collar or a blue collar industry. B2B franchises offer several advantages and nice benefits, some of which I would like to discuss.
Employee vs Independent Contractor
If you own a small business or are thinking about starting one, you will need to have a good understanding of the difference between a regular W-2 employee and a 1099 independent contract. It is usually more beneficial for an employer to have a contractor rather than an employee because the employer does not have to spend the time and effort to do payroll for that worker. Unfortunately, you don't get to just choose which status you put a worker into. The IRS forces you to choose one status or the other based on your relationship with a worker. The more supervision you have over a worker, the more likely it is that the worker should be a W-2 employee. The more independence they have, the more likely it is that they should be a 1099 contractor.
Ten States Losing White and Blue-Collar Jobs
The unemployment rate for workers with a college degree is 4.4 percent, as compared to 10 percent for those with only a high-school education. Nonetheless, an analysis found that some seven states have decreased the percentage of their workforce in white-collar jobs over the past decade.
