The Guerrilla Entrepreneur
| |
| WHAT IS A GUERRILLA ENTREPRENEUR?
The guerrilla entrepreneur knows that the journey is the goal. He also realizes that he is in control of his enterprise, not the other way around, and that if he is dissatisfied with his journey, he is missing the point of the journey itself. Unlike old-fashioned enterprises, which often required gigantic sacrifices for the sake of the goal, guerrilla enterprises place the goal of a pleasant journey ahead of the mere notion of sacrifices. |

Now You See Me, Now You Don't - Mistakes of a Home Business Owner

Advertising is a natural part of growing and expanding your business. You cannot expect your business to grow to its utmost potential without some sort of advertising involved. This does not mean you need to break the bank to advertise. |

Selling Value
| |
| Selling has its own set of challenges and getting objections from your prospect rates right up there at the top. One particular and all too frequent objection you may here is the one about pricing. We’ve all heard it, “I’m afraid your price is a little high.” Keep in mind that people don’t buy Price, they buy Value, even though they won’t always admit it. This objection means that they don’t fully appreciate the “Value” of what you are selling. However, if this objection keeps coming up in your discussions, then it’s a good indication that they are interested. So don’t view this as a negative objection since it could simply be a buying sign. Unfortunately, many sales people start to discount their product in order to overcome this objection, which is the wrong way to go. |

Public Relations Agency

| Ray Kroc understood it. So, too, did Dave Thomas and Howard Schultz. It doesn’t matter how revolutionary or life-changing a product you have, your business will not get far if it is not projecting the right image. There is no right or wrong when it comes to branding, but there is most definitely a right and a wrong for you and your company. Not every image will work for every company, and projecting the wrong one could be losing you sales without even knowing it. That is where choosing a good public relations agency comes into play. |

CRM Implementations the Right Way
| |
| There’s always a right way and a wrong way to do most things. In fact, there’s typically several right and several wrong ways. So why is it then that many companies seem to choose the wrong way to implement their Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solution? Don’t they read all the articles and white papers we’ve been writing over the years that explain why these systems fail and how to avoid these failures? Don’t they care? Don’t they believe us? It’s really quite simple, albeit not very easy. It takes commitment and a concerted effort to ensure you have a successful CRM implementation, both strategically and technically.

Determine if your product is profitable before you make it
| |
| However hard you run, you'll still lose the race if you're running on the wrong path. In the same way, however hard you work to start up your business, you'll still end up failing if you started the WRONG business.
A business venture revolving on the wrong idea, product or service is certain to fail. The fact that only 1 out of 10 business start-ups survive the 5-year mark should prove this.
Before you start your own business, therefore, find out if you are going to be the exception or the norm. Find out by doing the following.

It's Not MY Fault...REALLY!!!
| |
| Let's face it, it can be daunting to realize you are the one who didn't do it right. To make matters worse, it can be even harder to see it. We can think we did things right and still be wrong. We can be told and refuse to believe. In B.C. people were told the earth was round but rejected it for thousands of years. Instead they thought it was flat, stationary and the center of the universe. They were wrong...for hundreds of years. And just like the person who believes his results are not his doing, he is wrong as well. Somewhere along the way, many people became fearful of failing. As a result, some don't try while others refute their participation in causing an outcome. They detach themselves from poor results and believe they weren't responsible while thinking there is no harm being caused...WRONG AGAIN! |

| You better believe it! Does it really matter if you're right? Yes it does, but not at the expense of making your customer wrong.

Gain Strength by Learning How to Overcome Failure
| |
| A few years back, Disney released an animated movie called “Meet the Robinsons” that had such a deep impact and meaning. The point of the story is to celebrate each failure you have because it gives you the opportunity to try again. Most people make the mistake in thinking that, just because they failed at something, they should just move on. Or, if they failed it meant they were never meant to succeed at it. Wrong, wrong, wrong! |
