We have taken the time to examine the markets and players in our areas of expertise -- PC/CE/communications to help you plan how you will prepare in coming out of the bad times.

Business Opportunity Success Teams To Build A Home Business

USING THE POWER OF PASSION TO EXPLOIT TOUGH TIMES AND WIN NEW CUSTOMERS
There is one large business truth in traumatic times: Either you’re exploiting change, or change is exploiting you? The understandable norm in meltdown times is to hunker down. This can work only as long as customers are willing to cooperate and competitors are ready to follow suit, but it entirely misses the opportunity presented by the crisis, while also having an unfortunate effect on our teams' morale, passion, and commitment. This paper outlines 7 manageable business paradoxes organizations can practice to win. Organizations that do these can recapture the power of passion with their teams, use that passion to capitalize on the tough times and win new customers, and dramatically differentiate themselves from their competitors.
Communicating for Results
Have you ever felt that no matter how much you "communicate" nothing is getting done? You are saying the same thing over and over. No one seems to get it. How do you get your message to "stick"?
How can you think inside the box?
When all of those creativity people are screaming, "You gotta think outside the box" I tell people to start by thinking inside the box. Inside the box means doing something with what you already have.
Sex in the City or Sex in Quesada City?
Carrie Bradshaw and Sex in the City in New York, does not have quite the same ring as Linda Sage and Sex in the City of Quesada….but there again who knows!

Be a Self-Starter
A race car has a tremendous amount of potential energy but cannot start until someone waves the green flag. The powerful engines of a jet cannot lift that plane one-inch off the ground without ample runway and someone activating its controls.

Why Not? Why Not You? Why Not Now?
This is both a serious and valid question! "Why" not you? "Why" not now? What's in your way? What's keeping you from achieving all of your dreams?

DEALING WITH FAILURE
Our greatest glory is not in ever falling, but in rising every time we fall. Any failure seems so total, later on you realise you can have another go.

Abandon Your Business Plan......If You Want to Take Your Business to the Next Level
If you take a look in the business section of any bookstore, you'll see an over-abundance of books that teach you how to write a "winning" business plan.

This article presents the cure for business plans that don't ever work.
Difference Between Success And Failure In Starting a Internet Home Based Business

Discernment: Discovering a Vision for the Future
It would be so much easier, I think, if I could really be the 'master of my destiny'. Yet, deep down I know that I'm a part of something much bigger than myself. To the extent that I can join the flow of that 'something', I find an energy within that makes even the most difficult engagements go almost effortlessly. On the contrary, when I fight it, even the simplest tasks take a herculean effort. Discernment allows me to come into alignment not only with my own destiny, but it creates a synergy between me and the rest of the world.

The hardest thing to admit for a business owner is the fact that his/her business is slowly dying.

Thus, the owner of a failing business continues to hold on and on until his/her knuckles turn white and his/her face becomes so blue from holding his/her breath.

Solopreneur or Small Business Owner Understand This You Have No Competition
No competition?! Is this naïve? Wishful thinking? A load of bunk? Not at all. As a coach who has consistently defied conventional wisdom as to what makes a successful coaching practice (NOT built on coaching other coaches!), let me share with you what I have learned along the way and what saves me EVERY SINGLE TIME I start to get overwhelmed or lose my business focus. It is so basic but SO critical to the success of solopreneurs and small business owners and it all boils down to that old saying, “KNOW THYSELF”.

Change Is Here To Stay Thoughts From A Change Agent
"The trouble with the future is that it usually arrives before we're ready for it." Arnold H. Glasow Whenever someone refers to me as a "Change Agent," I accept it as a real compliment because that is a very accurate description of what I am.

Imagine All the People
“Imagine all the people living life in peace” sang John Lennon in the 70’s and it’s still being played today.

But recent studies show that this is possible. The global consulting group Towers Perrin has published their annual global study of employee engagement, which shows just how motivated people are to perform at their best.

I'm not a big fan of New Years resolutions. Sure I've made dozens of them, all with good intentions and a bit of magical thinking, believing this time the resolution will stick. Maybe a few have, but generally these wishful self-promises end up broken. And when that happens my self-esteem suffers.
