You wouldn’t expect a funeral director to do stand-up comedy as he’s showing you his line of coffins, would you?And you wouldn’t want your surfing instructor to be unduly somber as he towed you into shark infested waves, would you?Of course, not!We want people to act APPROPRIATELY, given our expectations and circumstances.This is the key standard to which all of us should aspire if we’re selling or servicing customers.For instance, if you’re going to an expensive restaurant you expect treatment that will differ from what is being served up at Wendy’s. The host should use your name, if he knows it, and learn it quickly, if he doesn’t.If a fast-food employee went out of his way to greet you by name, others around you might think you live in the joint, somewhat like that the guy from the movie, “Super-Size Me!”You’d probably be embarrassed, and slink, or waddle away, as the case may be.In the upscale place, being recognized and known is an ego boost
Entrepreneurship demands that a person is willing to take risks, venture and achieve results. This implies amongst others that the person should be willing to dare to do and stake his or her future on something.

Remember when you were a child and your mother told you not to touch the hot stove? You couldn't really appreciate that message until you felt the pain shoot through your entire body by way of your finger tips. Oh, now I understand. Sometimes our prospective business sellers get the same kind of message as they pursue the sale of their business to a buyer who approached them with an unsolicited interest to buy.We often get an inquiry from this business owner because this is usually the only time he will sell a company. He wants advice from us and his position is that he will hire our firm to represent him if this buyer falls through. Really the best advice we can give him is to engage our firm and let us throw this buyer into the mix of potential buyers that we will uncover. His response is almost always, I just want to see how this buyer plays out. We have watched this movie that I will call the Single Buyer Syndrome, a hundred times, so let me describe how it plays out.· The potenti

The employment market for IT professionals is finally back in full swing. After about 4 years of outsourcing, downsizing and complete businesses going down it is an employee market again. Many IT employees were holding on to existing jobs to wait out the rough times for employees. Others were not so lucky and had to find a new job - either in the same field or in a different career path. In most cases an employee ended up with less money and a smaller benefits package.
