Other Added - When You Work For a Man
Interview with Best-selling Entrepreneurial Authors Barbara Winters and Nick WilliamsRay Bradbury’s quote, “You’ve got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down” may sound extreme but, as anyone building a business knows, it has a lot of truth in it.As a newly self-employed journalist / writer and life coach, I found Barbara Winter’s book, “Making a Living Without a Job” invaluable so when I got a chance to interview her and Nick Williams in London, I was delighted. Barbara advocates having Multiple Profit Centres so her approach is ideal for writers, coaches and other entrepreneurs as we often build our incomes by developing several strings for our bows.Barbara co-founded the Dreambuil member, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. If you must growl, condemn, and eternally find fault, resign your position and when you are on the outside, complain to your hearts content. But as long as you are a part of the institution do not condemn it. ~ Elbert Hubbard When you work for a man, work for him. Give hi Purchase Order Financing - A Tool To Finance Your Growing OrdersDo you have more purchase orders than what you can handle? Is lack of financing preventing you from fulfilling those orders? One of the most frustrating things that can happen to a business owner is to turn orders away – good orders – because you don’t have the financial capacity to fulfill them.Of course, you can try to get a business loan. However, business loans have their limitations as business financing tools. They are hard to get and have arbitrary limits, so they don’t grow with your business.Wouldn’t it be great to have a business financing tool that could handle all your supplier payments – provided you had purchase ord Years ago, most offices had a saying stuck somewhere on the walls. It might have been near the copier, near the coffeepot, or near the water cooler – where supposedly everyone gathered. (Funny, I never saw people gathered around any water coolers where I worked.)These words were a motivational saying that showed up when the copy repairman arrived. When he repaired the copiers the man needed something with words and graphics on it to test the copier, and he brought his own pages with him. He gave a copy of the week’s or month’s motivational quote to the receptionist or secretary before he left, and she usually made a few copies – one for the boss, who ultimately posted it in some prominent place, and one to each of her closest co-workers. In every office where I worked– in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Texas – there were copies of this saying. It began, “If you work for a man, work for him…” Long ago, my last withered, crinkled and yellowed copy of those words disappeared from my personal files. The gist of the message, of course, was just how it began. If you work for a man, work for him. Give him – or your job – the attention it deserves, since he – or the company – is paying you to work. In an Internet search, I found two quotations similar to the ones that adorned the offices and break rooms of the past. If you work for someone, then work for him: Speak well of him and stand by the institution he represents. Remember, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. If you must growl, condemn, and eternally find fault, resign your position and when you are on the outside, complain to your hearts content. But as long as you are a part of the institution do not condemn it. ~ Elbert HubbardWhen you work for a man, work for him. Give him Business OpportunityA business opportunity is a transaction that may involve the sale or lease of services and goods resulting to profitability. There are several business opportunities available for each individual or company.For a company, a business opportunity is a chance to increase earnings by widening areas of production and services. For example, if a company would like to put up another branch in a certain location, the company would look for possible locations that would be conducive to the business. If it were a fast food chain, the company would likely assess the accessibility of the location to major establishments like malls, offices or schoo paired the copiers the man needed something with words and graphics on it to test the copier, and he brought his own pages with him.

Give hi Surviving in Corporate Amercia: Part 1 - EmailThere is a saying that goes, “The best offense is a great defense”. Nowhere is that applied better in the corporate world than in the intelligent use of email. In this age of technology, E-mail is a multi-purpose tool that can be adapted into each user’s organizational patterns. Firstly, we will get the basic do’s and don’ts out of the way.Do not use your work address when filling out forms on external sites. This can bring large amounts of SPAM that may alert your IT department into watching your activities more closely. Free Internet based mail, such as Hotmail, are your best options.Do not transmit any questionable material to losest co-workers.

Give hi 10 Customer Service Quality Statements to Measure up AgainstIt might sound quick and simple, to say how well your business does in
satisfying it's customers. Hearing such as:-"We're increasing our
turnover by 14% year to date""Our customer complaints are now less
than 4% or our transactions"...might sound like music to your
ears, but that's just the time you need to be very careful.A regular
measurement of where you are as your organisation, not depending on some of the
easy-to-fake figures, might just make the difference in how well you are doing
now, and into the future.Try these quality statements ork for him.

Give hi What to do When Your Customer is About to ExplodeWhen things go wrong, many customers get upset. Some blow up in anger. The next time your customer is ready to explode, use these five proven steps to sanity.Step One: Let them blow off steam! No one is rational when they have pent up anger and emotion. Let your customer vent the rage and fury. Don’t take it personally, and don’t get in the way. Open a channel for them to let off the pressure.Years ago I had a problem with a shipment by an express courier company. I called the company and got a reasonable sounding woman on the phone.‘You folks messed up!’ I yelled.‘OK,’ she replied in a very attentive tone.‘T member, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. If you must growl, condemn, and eternally find fault, resign your position and when you are on the outside, complain to your hearts content. But as long as you are a part of the institution do not condemn it. ~ Elbert HubbardWhen you work for a man, work for him. Give him your dedication, honesty, sincerity and 100% of your skills. If you must damn him, do so from without; quit and then damn him to high heaven if that is your wish. But while you are in his employ, do nothing or say nothing negative about him, or to him. ~ James Ellis DolanThe second version sounds more like the one we had in offices throughout the land. Today, we need this quotation or something similar posted on offices, in retail stores and in fast food restaurants. We need words like these everywhere today, at least in the United States. Customer service and company loyalty are really lacking. It might be a good idea if we made words such as these a part of our educational system and shared them during new employee orientation and training. I wonder, though, if it would make a difference. These words may not be specific enough for today’s employees. We might have to explain what is and is not proper behavior for an employee. When you work for a man, work for him. Give him your best. Do not spend time checking personal emails, creating listings for single’s personal web sites, or doing your Internet shopping at work. The workday belongs to the man or the company that pays you, and you are paid to perform a job, not to do your personal business. Company phones, copiers, fax machines and computers are there for company business. If you must speak on the phone, please try to do so on your lunch ti
