Lesson #3: Go Ahead and Get Your Hands a Little Dirty
Bean might have been an entrepreneur, and a successful one at that, but in his heart he was a hunter, and a fisherman, and an all around outdoorsman. He felt more comfortable in the woods of Maine than in the corporate boardrooms of the city. It was his passion that gave birth to the company, and a passion he never lost. It might have been for that reason that Bean insisted on being hands on and putting his personal touch on everything the company did. From talking to customers to putting new products through trial runs, Bean could always be found right there in the middle of all the action.

Can You Make Your Hobby Into A Business
My client, Jenny, showed me a small selection of knitted wool hats that she had made. She said she had dozens of them in her house. She wondered about the possibility of going into business selling these hats. Up to now she had sold a few to friends without any effort. Wouldn’t it be nice to sell them to others! Maybe-on a website.

Human Resources Outsourcing
As small business owners, we have all come under the dual crunch of time and money pressures. Often times, when we’re trying to run an entire company, we can barely find the time to look after ourselves. How many of us out there have gone to work in the morning with different coloured socks? Or maybe even forgotten to bring our Blackberry? As such, how on earth are we supposed to find the time to manage all of the other people who work for us? Well, that is where human resources outsourcing comes into play.

Can You Say “This Is It” for Yourself?
I am profoundly inspired... in a life-changing kinda way. I saw the new Michael Jackson movie, This Is It, yesterday. It blew my white rhinestone socks off! (Truth be told, I had tear dewbies at several points in the movie - it is that powerful!) As an entrepreneur, and a soul-driven person, it spoke to the depths of me.

The Holidays are a Great Metaphor for Sales Success
Which do you anticipate more? The gifts that you will receive? What will it be? Could it be what you were hoping for? Will it be smelly socks? Will you have to return it? Will you love it? Will you hate it? Or... The gifts that you present? Will they be surprised? Will they be delighted? Will they be speechless? Will they know how much thought you put into it? Will they be appreciative?

Increasing Your Success Isn't As Hard As You Think It Is
As a career coach and researcher of working women’s work-life issues, I’ve embarked on a national research study on Women Succeeding Abundantly, in order to learn first-hand the essential ingredients in thinking, beliefs, choices, and behaviors that create and maintain “knock your socks off success” in women. I want to learn from women who can raise their hands today and say, “Yes! I feel tremendously successful on my terms, and am able to live life joyfully and with great gusto."
Leading Up by Example
In my work with leaders across the country, I frequently run into a perplexing question. When working with management layers in the middle, I will frequently hear, “Bob this is great stuff on building trust. I am anxious to build the kind of environment you describe. I have only one problem, my ogre boss does not go for the soft stuff, so I am stuck.” My advice is twofold. First, there is nothing soft about building trust. It is a hard-edged measure that has more power than any other business variable to impact performance. The skills needed to build trust are not “touchy feely,” they are pragmatic, concrete behavioral actions that can be taught and learned. Second, you are not “stuck” even if your boss is a dyed-in-the-wool curmudgeon with negative Emotional Intelligence; it does not prevent you from leading by example.
Boots, High Heels, Tennies, or Sandals? Come Watch the People Zoo
When was the last time you went to the zoo? The shopping mall can be JUST as adventurous! As interesting as all the animals are, my daughter, when three, told me while we were sitting on a shopping mall bench "This is as fun as the animal zoo, Mama". People have been watching people since the beginning of time. Why would someone pierce their tongue and eyebrow and wear hiking boots in the middle of shopping? Why wear striped shorts with a plaid shirt with sandals and socks? Why can you hear that one person laughing way above the noise of the entire mall and find them in high heels and "lookin' good babe"? And then there's those who have their cozy sweat pants on and "tennies". Who are these people and what makes them tick? With all the 22 companies out there with personality profiles, I have found after 30 years of sales experience
