    How Would You Handle This?
    We have been talking about choosing groups to participate in that meet your needs and goals as a business professional. Once the decision is made on which groups to belong to, then a certain level of participation is required in order to achieve the individual goals set by the business professional.Whenever I attend a function, I always have a goal of meeting ten people whom I do not already know, and finding out how I can best help them in their business. What happens, though if, when I ente

    Flight Attendant Resource Guide
    Are you interested in becoming a flight attendant? Does the desire to fly to places hither and yon excite the primal beast within? Okay, I am being a bit dramatic! Still, for 75 years flight attendants have been providing much needed passenger service and safety assistance on aircraft ever since the original eight women from Boeing Air Transport took flight on May 15, 1930. Since then stewardesses, as they were originally were called, have flown to every destination imaginable on the planet. Read on
    Do you operate your business as a series of projects, using project management tools and skills to advance your projects from conception to completion? Or perhaps you're new to project management tools and skills and haven't considered applying them to your own business? Most of us fall somewhere in between.

    Running a productive and efficient business, whether for one person or for 500, is a series of projects of various sizes and complexity.

    For example, here are some projects a typical solopreneur may have:

    -- Creating/upgrading your business identity (logo, stationery, biz cards, etc)

    -- Creating/upgrading your web site

    -- Setting up or upgrading your computer equipment

    -- Setting up or reorganizing your filing system(s) ­ whether computer-based or paper-based

    -- Doing your tax reports

    -- Creating your marketing referral engine

    -- Creating passive-income revenue streams (teleclasses, ebooks, e-classes, white papers, reports, etc)

    Give Yourself Away
    Last week I got one of those "make my day" phone calls and emails. It was from a gentleman I had met last May doing a speech for a local leadership program. I remember quite well the brief exchange we had following the program that night: He had delivered an eloquent and inspiring invocation and I told him he ought to be doing more public speaking, that his words had inspired me.It was a comment I meant sincerely, and he, apparently took it to heart. His email and phone message told me about

    Outsourcing - Another Variation
    In this article we're going to go over another form of outsourcing that is just as common a practice as sending jobs overseas.It's the hiring of contract workers.This practice actually started many years ago back in the 70's by large companies such as AT&T.As a regular employee of a company you are entitled to and probably receive the following: health benefits, vacation time, sick time, pension plans, 401 K and a number of other perks. These perks cost the company money, lots

    Wholesale: Are You Prepared?

Running an online whole sale business has its advantages and disadvantages, and unfortunately not many wholesale sources will prepare you for the realities. I have been in the wholesale business for many years now, selling to various online stores and eBay. In early 2005 I opened up my own business. On a daily basis current clients and customers asked me questio

    If you aren't using project management tools and skills to run your business, your productivity is suffering.

    Now, if you don't have a full client/work load, then perhaps you don't think this is an issue you need to be concerned with right now. May I offer to you the suggestion that the time to increase your efficiency and productivity with new tools and skills is precisely when you don't have all the clients or work you want or need?

    Learning something new like this helps keep your enthusiasim charged, which spills over into your marketing activities, which helps engage your prospects in your business. It's all good.

    So where do you start?

    I recommend that my clients start by using TraxTime, a little PC computer program available inexpensively at www.spudcity.com.
