“Leadership rests not only on outstanding ability. It also rests on commitment, loyalty and pride. It rests on followers who are ready to accept guidance. Leadership is the ability to direct people and – more important – to have those people accept the direction.” Vince LombardiTHE OBSERVATION...There has never been a bette
I don’t care how great your idea is, it won’t matter. In fact, it can even work against you early on. Look at YouTube as a prime example of this. How crazy-mad popular has that site been? Yet, as I understand the story it never made any profits at all until Google purchased i
Warren Bennis is one of my favourite leadership thinkers. I first encountered his thinking in a book he co-authored with Burt Nanus, Leaders: The Strategies for Taking Charge (1985). The book was based on in-depth interviews with 90 leaders, 60 from the corporate sector and 30 from the public sector. Bennis and Nanus believe that the
Every day I run across someone online who has lost their job for some reason, and right away they’ve decided to try creating their own work on the web instead of seeking out new employment to work for someone else. Believe me, I understand that desire, but the notion that you can create and launch a startup today that will cover your living expenses immediately just isn’t realistic.
It saddens me every time I talk with someone in this position, because I really do know how they feel and I see the passion they have to ‘make it happen’, but I also understand that unless they’re in a financial position to go for months, maybe even a year before seeing anything close to a livable income they’re doomed to fail miserably.

In 1952, Harry Klemfuss saw the need to recognize secretaries for their hard work and dedication. National Secretary’s Day was created on his notion that secretaries are essential to the corporate world. This unofficial holiday is presently celebrated on the last Wednesday in April. During the 1950s the majority of secretaries in the wor

On January 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger blasted off from the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida. Seventy-three seconds later, millions of people watched as the rocket disintegrated in a fiery explosion, and the capsule plunged into the Atlantic Ocean. The death of all seven crew members, and particularly teacher Christa McAuliffe

Whether you are speaking in front of a civic group or making a sales presentation, your opening can make or break the deal. Unless you grab the audience at the beginning, they’ll be sleeping through your most important information.You must craft an opening that cannot be ignored. Great openings have three things in common:

Unfortunately, not all, especially newly opened, businesses are destined to succeed. Most of them fail. About ninety-eight percent of all start up businesses in the world today do not live until their second birthday. And it happens not because their idea is bad or poor but because most business owners miss out on what truly makes the bu
I don’t care how great your idea is, it won’t matter. In fact, it can even work against you early on. Look at YouTube as a prime example of this. How crazy-mad popular has that site been? Yet, as I understand the story it never made any profits at all until Google purchased it, the cost of running such a popular site was higher than the advertising revenue being earned from it. Not only was YouTube not profitable, it was losing money month after month.
Sure, the creators are living large today, but what if they hadn’t been able to sustain themselves for so long? What if they had run out of money and supporters 6 months in? The site would be a faint blip in the web archives today rather than a top 5 Internet destination.
And many great ideas and startups have gone that route because their creators weren’t able to sustain themselves ‘in the red’ long enough. Don’t be the next one to take that path.
I’m not saying that every new startup will lose money, or even that a startup can’t make profits right away. It can and does happen. But, it’s rare for them to make any kind of serious profits early on.
That’s why the best advice I have for everyone starting a new online project with expectations of earning a living from it is simply to accept that it will be a supplemental income at first, it may even lose money, but you’re in it for the long-term and yo
