The truth is, you can allow yourself to let these external factors control you, usually causing a negative attitude, or you can CHOOSE to achieve and sustain a positive outlook. Here are 3 ways I’ve learned to keep a positive attitude.

    The real secret of a success is simple: Do something about your ideas. Each of us has seen a new idea and said, "Why, I thought of that a year ago." We say it with scorn, but we should direct the scorn at ourselves, not at the person who had the drive to do something about it.

    Successful idea men generate ideas all the time, and they don't hoard them. They do something about them, even if they give them away. There are a lot of other satisfactions than money in doing your....

  • Which Is Better: Repeat Business Or New Customers? - Part 2 Of 2  By : Paul Lemberg
    Recently we asked which was more important: new customer growth or repeat business?

    The answer depends on your business goals. If you want fast-paced quantum growth, you should concentrate energy on adding new customers.

    (Of course, don't lose sight of new customer acquisition; d...

  • Why Business Plans Don't Work And What To Do About Yours  By : Michael Clark
    I am often asked to assist with writing business plans.

I’m going to suggest some ways that you can get more out of your business plan.

    1) Review your busin...
