Have you ever observed unethical behavior by a prospect or client?In todays business world, there are daily instances of unethical behavior occurring all around us. What a sad commentary on business and society today. Over the more than 35 years in my own professional career, there have been instances where I have been approached by unethical prospects and clients and was fortunate to have had strong ethical mentors and supervisors, managers & owners that supported my actions to turn away from the unethical requests and to report them to my superiors.And later in my own business, I have made decisions to forego doing business with unethical prospects clients that meant turning away some very significant assignment

Who is a netprenuer? Actually the word netpreneur brings images to mind of a young geek. A person in his early twenties who has the courage to break the conventional rules to build up an online business from scratch is our netpreneur. There was a time when netpreneurs were thought to be some kind of mythical creatures. They came from nowhere and made millions in the market. And that image is still itched out into the minds of many but to be honest these are just images. The reality is very different.The majority of netpreneur are still young but they are not some kind of eccentric genius. Anyone can be a netprenuer these days. That is the result of easy access to internet and the desire of people to take some risk and start their own online business venture. Netpreneurs are like any other entrepreneurs. The only difference is that netpreneur as the name suggests is a special class of entrepreneur who has some special

We have all had great service before at the grocery store, where a clerk helped us immensely and we unfortunately have all had poor service as well, where we could not even find anyone to help us and when we finally did, they were no help at all. Do I dare state the obvious about customer service at grocery stores? It starts in the parking lot!Thats right great service at grocery stores starts in the parking lot. The landscaping, trash control and those shopping carts must be put in the proper place and brought back in. If not we all know what happens to the sides of our cars and I will not bring up such a sore subject with you. Nevertheless the customer service becomes progressively more important as the customer enters the store, shops and then checks out.Let's face it how many times have you been at a grocery store only to find that there are only two lanes open with about 15 people in each. And I know th

Leaving your job to start a business is a major step in your life. There are many things to consider, here are five tips.1. Try talking to others who have taken a similar path to the one you are considering taking.These people are facing or have faced many of the same problems and issues that you might encounter.

Ken Lay and Bernie Ebbers, move over! Have I got a guy for you. His name is not important actually nothing about him is. He is a small man, with a small mind but a large ego.
