  • An Essential Key to Your Business Growth, A Motivational Message!  By : David T.
    Many people hear the term Motivational Speaking and roll their eyes, picturing some overly peppy guru spouting off idealistic clichés.
  • Speaking On Your Feet  By : David T.
    Your ability to communicate effectively will account for most of your success in life. As we move farther into the communication age, we are becoming more and more dependant on being able to communicate ...
  • Consulting: Expanding The Definition  By : Victor Pryles
    In my book “Anyone Can Consult!”, it has been brought to my attention that I use the masculine pronoun “He” in my writing. That’s because it was traditionally a male dominated industry, but that has changed now!

    As women have broken the glass ceiling in almost every industry and enterprise over the last 30 years, so has the consulting business become more accessible to the fairer sex. I wouldn’t dare proffer the case that ANYONE can consult and leave out half of the popula...
  • Thinking About More Business  By : Paul Lemberg
    What does an old Russian joke have to do with getting new business?

    Did you increase your business in the past 12 months? Don't discriminate between more new clients or old clients spending more money -- count the increase either way. If you didn't, you really should be asking yourself why not.

    Yes, I know -- it all started with the Internet implosion. Then came terrorist attacks. Next, the global recession. And after that, a war that threatened to destabilize the worl...
  • 10 Questions To Consider When Growing Your Business  By : Paul Lemberg
    Here's a provocation for the coming year, decade, century or millennium.

    By now, you've set a working direction for the year, established clear-cut objectives. Your first-iteration plan to reach them should be in place. This now seems like an ideal time to rethink the whole thing, doesn't it? After all, one of the effects of internet time is that plans are subject to change just as soon as - or perhaps even before - they are written.

    Along these lines of thinking, perha...
  • What One Thing?  By : Paul Lemberg
    A few weeks ago I asked my readers what the most important issue was in their business. Hundreds responded with a variety of answers, but one of the most common was, "How do I get everything that needs doing done?"

    Happily, I have an answer for this question, but like many things in life, it carries both good news and bad news. The good news is, if you are one of those fortunate few with access to unlimited resources, you can get everything done.

    But that's really the...
  • Higher Prices Lead To Higher Profits - Part 2 Of 2  By : Paul Lemberg
    In the first part of this series we looked at the effect prices have on profits. A change to the upside can have a wonderful effect on profits while reckless discounting and careless price reductions will surely have a disastrous one. If you don't fully understand the implications, or haven't read Part 1, go back and do so now. (http://www.paullemberg.com/higher-part1.html)

    By now you may be asking yourself, "What should my prices be?"

    Before you go start changing pric...
  • What Stops You?  By : Paul Lemberg
    Have you ever had a terrific idea which you didn't act on? Of course you have. I don't mean anything fancy either. Nothing earth-shattering. Just a plain old-fashioned good idea which would have made you more money. But you didn't get moving on it.

    Oh well.

    I have a friend I'll call James. James is an independent management consultant and a deep, creative thinker. I have great respect for his abilities to understand his clients and develop unique solutions for them. But...
  • What Not To Do And How Not To Do It  By : Paul Lemberg
    How can you get more done?

    Can you really do more than you already do? Is there still room left on your plate for even one more thing? The truth is I don't know anyone (successful) who has too little to do. Not one of my many clients--nor any of my friends, acquaintances, or people I meet on planes--none of them has ever said they have too little to do.

    Doing more to get more done is simply not an option.

    The answer to doing more is doing less.

    Less?

    Do le...
  • Whats Valuable About Having Values?  By : Paul Lemberg
    Let's talk about values...

    Yours.

    What kind?

    Family values, personal values, corporate values.

    So what are values - and why are they important to creating breakthroughs?

    Values are things we strive to gain or keep. They are the expression of what is important to us. Values can be concrete things like money, gourmet food, and fast motorcycles, or they can be abstract things like contribution, challenge, or adventure.

    Values, along with our beliefs about w...
  • Why Predict The Future?  By : Paul Lemberg
    Do you ever try to predict the future? Are you usually right, or wrong? If so, then read on.

    Can you predict the future of your industry? Can you predict the future of your business? No one can say with certainty what will happen next week much less one year from now. And five years? Not a chance.

    Yogi Berra reportedly said, "It's hard to make predictions, especially about the future."

    Everyone agrees. Predicting the future is hard. It is so hard that a fifty percen...
  • Thinking About Thinking - Part 1of 2  By : Paul Lemberg
    How much time do you spend just thinking? Take a guess - how much during any given day, week or month? I'm don't mean the kind of thinking you do while driving in your car, commuting on the train, during your morning run, or even in the shower. I'm referring to the kind of thinking you do ensconced in your office, or your den, or perhaps your garden. You are not reading a book or a magazine, nor watching TV, nor listening to music. You are simply thinking.

    How much time d...
  • Thinking About Thinking - Part 2 Of 2  By : Paul Lemberg
    Like many of my clients, I am always looking for ways to speed things up - to produce more results with the same or even fewer resources. We probably agree on this. The key is certainly not about working harder; it may not even be about working smarter. But there are definitely ideas which work, and those ideas need to be uncovered. Often you can find them through analytical thinking. In my last article I discussed this: a process of asking deliberate questions, and in a disc...
  • The Search For A Mentor  By : Mike Lane
    There are many so called "gurus" on the net that are offering their advice to you concerning internet marketing. The net is packed with experts and they all want you to join their list.

    Most of them just want to sell you something and you never learn anything. How do I know this? Because I have fallen victim to the promises of these experts and joined almost all their lists.

    So I have come up with a checklist to consider when attempting to choose a mentor.

    1. Is he/s...
  • Expanding Our Paradigms  By : Monique Briand
    The Great LAW: Everything is energy. Even your thoughts and feelings. What you FOCUS on, with a feeling of harmony and elation, you bring about. This is the basis for everything that has, is and will happen in your life. The more enthused, excited, and emotionally-charged you are about something – i.e., the better it feels – the faster you'll see it show up in our life.

  • Arachnophobia And Other Fears  By : Edward Mills
    We had a little excitement this morning at home. My wife came out of the bathroom and said, quite calmly, “Ed, there’s a big black spider in the bathtub.” Since I was watching my daughter, Ella, at the time, I carried her in there to investigate. I was a bit surprised that my wife did not call it a Brown Recluse. That’s our running joke. She grew up in Brown Recluse territory, and so whenever she sees a brownish spider she says “Ed, I just saw a Brown Recluse. Go get it.” I g...
  • Marketing Brain Trust  By : Paul Lemberg
    Rest assured that no matter how smart you are, you do not know everything about marketing. You don't even know anything about marketing your product! You can't figure everything out yourself, or see all the angles, or provide every bit of critical thinking.

    The solution? Create a marketing brain trust.

    Use the mastermind principle which says more brainpower brought to bear on an issue means more ideas and greater insight. Gather together a mixed bag of thoughtful, intel...
  • The Fire Of Desire  By : Edward Mills
    On a recent early morning, I sat on the floor beside my daughter Ella, writing in my journal as she stretched and bounced in a desperate and unsuccessful attempt to reach her favorite butterfly finger puppet. Aware of Ella's growing frustration, I wrote about my own frustration with the speed at which I am moving toward one of my primary goals. Just as I wrote that, Ella's persistence overcame the force of inertia and caused her to fly forward toward the butterfly, landing fa...
  • Are The Stars Out Tonight? Reconnecting With The Power Of Mystery  By : Edward Mills
    On a crisp June night I’m lying in my sleeping bag at 10,000 feet in the Sierra’s Desolation Wilderness. Here, far from the light and haze of the Bay Area, the sky is deep black, but thick with twinkling dots and dim wisps of cottony light. When I look from the corner of my eye, the dim lights become more defined, easier to perceive as stars. To count them all would take years, if it was even possible. The number seems incomprehensible. And the mystery of what could exist out...
  • Success-- The Key And The Fire  By : Dianne Ronnow
    Self-discipline is a powerful tool that can help you accomplish about anything you can dream or imagine. Self-discipline is the act of controlling our emotions, actions, thoughts, words and personal direction. Some people seem to be naturally self-controlled and some seem to have no self-control at all. Others seem to constantly struggle with self-discipline.

    Discipline is learning to say "no" to our primitive uncontrolled cravings and selfish destructive desires. We deve...
  • Top Ten Reasons To Hire A Personal Coach  By : Kim Olver
    Have you considered hiring a personal coach? Jack Canfield, in The Success Principles says hiring a "personal coach is one of the best-kept secrets of the successful."

    1. A coach can help you clarify your vision and goals. If you have a sense that what you are doing isn’t the thing you really want for your life but you don’t have a clear vision of what you do want, then a coach can help you get clear.

    2. A coach can support you through your difficult times. Sometimes,...
  • Learning To See Challenges As Opportunities  By : Wendy Betterini
    Are you a person who loves challenges, or hates them? I must admit I've spent most of my life as a person who hates them. I always thought of challenges as frustrating, maddening obstacles keeping me from where I want to be. I even used to take them personally, feeling like the universe must hate me and like to see me struggle. ;-)

    As I grow older and (hopefully) wiser - I find my competitive nature rising up to meet these challenges, and I'm learning to see them different...
  • Ask For And Go For What You Want  By : Aurelia Williams
    Do you think that brand new laptop that you saw at Circuit city will just magically appear in your home, or what about those projects that you know you need to start, do you think they will start themselves? Hey, what about that quiet time that you really need? Do you think your children will magically disappear for a few hours after drawing you a nice hot bubble bath? Heck No!

    So, think to yourself. What is on your wish list? Is it starting your own business, have a month...
  • Whatever You Do, Don't Quit Your Job!  By : Aaron Potts
    The world today is based on work. You work for someone else. You work for yourself. You own your own business and you work at that. You own someone else's business, and they work for you. You're a mover and a shaker, and people everywhere work because of you and your influence.

    Work work work work work!

    Do you like to work? Do you enjoy commuting every single day, wasting hours and hours of your life behind the wheel? Do you love your boss? Do your co-workers inspire yo...
