Innovate!
How many entrepreneurs have you met who have gone out of business, simply because they failed to keep up with the times and with their competition? Those who refuse to innovate, update and improve, those who fail to reinvent themselves, are doomed to join the ranks of that sad, pathetic group of has-beens that often label themselves as “consultants” and “coaches” and haunt the “networking” meetings. They tell wonderful stories of their past successes and promise to lead you down the same path for a tidy fee! Scary, huh?The fact is, times change. If we don’t continually seek ways to add value, initiate new directions, woo our clients and upda

Automating Your Customer Support
My regular readers will know that one of the things I highly recommend doing with any online business is automating as many of your day to day tasks as possible.From a personal point of view, one of the tasks that takes up a lot of my time is answering emails. It isn't just answering email that eats up the hours - sorting through and deleting spam and junk mail absorbs a lot of time too. In the good old days, I used to get a couple of spam emails a day. Now it is closer to 1000 a day!In fact, when you look at it, email isn't always the best form of online communication. Not only is there the junk mail issue to contend with but also

Resume Cover Letters Explained
A resume cover letter is an integral part of the job search. A professional seeking a position within a company should never submit a resume with an appropriate resume cover letter attached, that is, if they want to land the job. Companies do not just receive one, five or even ten resumes when they post an available position. They receive hundreds or even thousands depending on the current job market, the size of the company and the area in which they are located. Therefore, when they initially approach the pile of resumes on their desk, their first order of business is to weed out those who have overlooked one of the most important parts of the re

Encourging Employees Responsibility (your responsibility)
Merely assigning a task with detailed instructions is not effective delegation. An employee cannot grow without the freedom to make decisions on how the job should be done. Managers must also be aware that only through the conjunction of responsibility and authority can the desired results be achieved. Additionally, a delegate must be held accountable for his or her actions.After a manager has delegated a task to a subordinate, he or she must not take it back, make changes in the assignment, or redelegate it. This causes great frustration on the part of a subordinate. In fact, the employee may lose motivation and interest in the project, dou

The Motivating Power of Purpose
Patrick Atkins is Senior Manager for Agency Training of a major insurance company. When people asked what he did for a living, he used to reply, ‘I sell life insurance’.In his second year of selling, a customer died in an accident and he went to visit the widow. She was distraught, of course, but she spoke to Patrick after the funeral.‘I always resented the money my husband spent on insurance,’ she said. ‘I thought it was wasted money that we could have used for something else. But now your insurance payment is going to allow my children to stay in school and give us enough money to keep living in this house. You’ve saved our family.’
