Leadership 101
"If...you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning." Catherine AirdDo people willingly want to follow you? The real test of leadership is influence. Would your subordinates describe you as an effective manager, supervisor or team leader? Be honest with yourself. Put yourself in their shoes. Would you want to work for YOU?! If your employees' pay, perks and benefits were not dependent on doing what you ask, would they still want to follow you? If the answer is yes, you are truly a role model of leadership.In conducting leadership training around the world for over a decade, here are the key traits I hear over and over that employees want to see in their leaders. And most of these employees are managers themselves.These traits will sound familiar to you. Yet, we need to be reminded of them. Many managers confide to me that they're so overloaded they forge

Did You Come to Think of Advertising Inflatables?
People advertise in many different ways to attract specific audience. Some of them use TV and radio broadcasts, some- newspapers, others- billboards and neon lights. But advertising inflatables are gaining up speed in the business world. Advertising using inflatables can be cheaper than any other way to show to the world. Many small firms with thin advertising budget prefer using advertising inflatables, as they are inexpensive and quite affordable…and, what is more, they WORK!The basic advantage of using advertising inflatables is that ALL PEOPLE will see your advertisement. People passing by and people in their cars may like your advertising balloon and eventually get interested in your firm or in the service that you offer. So, you had better try it. In addition, you had better try with the most attractive advertising balloon that you come to think of. Before starting to advertise using i

Just recently I was asked to do a talk for my good friend and co-author of our best-selling book in Singapore titled Get Rich Now: 15 Strategies from a Self-made Millionaire, Dr Dennis Wee. (Dr Wee is one of Singapore’s most celebrated entrepreneurs. Despite not having completed his high school education, he managed to start and build up his own real estate company, Dennis Wee Group, to become of Singapore’s leading real estate companies generating S$3.8 billion worth of sales in 2006.)

He wanted me to share some marketing secrets with his real estate agents and I was more than happy to do so because I believe there’s so much more that agents can do to position, brand and market their services. Sadly, most agents, whether in real estate or financial services (insurance) or any other industries, tend to see themselves just as a salesperson. This perception of themselves is limiting their growth and income!

By thinking that they are just salespeople, they don’t see the possibilities of growing their careers into full-fledge businesses. There are so much more benefits for someone to think big and build a big business, compared to just existing, and making a living. Donald Trump said: “If

Embracing the Feminine in the Workplace
Bang! Bang! My shiny metal cap gun sounded as I fired at the imaginary tribe of Indians invading my suburban Atlanta backyard. Two houses down the street, my childhood friend Shelly cuddled her brand new "Chatty Cathy" baby doll.Growing up in the 50s, our roles were clear: women gather and nest, and men hunt and fight. I was sure that one day I would go into business, and Shelly would be a stay-at-home mom. Twenty years later, Shelly and I were both in business; I was working in a public relations agency, and Shelly had landed a terrific job in a large accounting firm.It was the 80s, and to succeed in business, Shelly had to dress and act like a man. Shelly did well in business, but at a cost. She had to mask much of her femininity.When Shelly's daughter enters the business world three years from now, she will find a much different working environment than her mother. Business

Don't Let Your Small Business Destroy Your Life
I want to talk about a subject that is neglected amongst small business owners – the idea of protecting your personal life.Even though you might be running a busy, thriving business, be absolutely sure to devote night a week to your personal life. In the past ten years, this has been one of my biggest issues. I have not been doing this every single week on my own but I can honestly say that I am in the process of changing that now.In business, with all the excitement of making money, it's too easy to let it take over your life. This is really not a good thing nor is it a healthy thing. Even multi-millionaires take time out for themselves to do things not connected to their business. Don't get me wrong, while business can be both enjoyable and a nightmare at the same time, there are other things out there in the big wide world - outside of your small business.Do not neglect your

The Long and Winding Road of Medical Billing
Medical billing is a multi-million dollar industry in America today. The exact process a bill goes through varies widely depending on various factors, such as the type of insurance a patient has and the type of service rendered by a provider.The process begins after a patient has a doctor visit, which could include actual treatment for injuries or other medical conditions. Sometimes the visit may simply be a diagnosis of a condition leading to a prescription given by a doctor. After the visit has concluded, a doctor will give details of the visit to a medical specialist of some sort. This specialist will fill out a billing record with more technical information regarding the visit, such as codes representing different diagnoses. The billing record is then sent to the insurance company, or sometimes to an intermediate firm that will process the record beforehand. Either way, the billing recor

Shipping Basics
When one wants to transport goods, either for personal or for business reasons, one has to deal with the issue of shipping. There are some basic guidelines on how to efficiently go about it.What one generally wants out of shipping is basically to get the goods on time, on the place specified, and on good condition. The cost of shipping is another factor that most people would consider when availing of such services. It is thus best that one takes the time to compare prices for each shipping provider.Most established shipping service companies would give you a quote on the expected cost of your shipping requirements. You can ask this thru their sales staff or you may conveniently access the standard computation thru their websites. With information you provide as dimensions of the package, weight, destination, expected time of arrival to the designated place and other details, you

e, they don’t see the possibilities of growing their careers into full-fledge businesses. There are so much more benefits for someone to think big and build a big business, compared to just existing, and making a living. Donald Trump said: “If you’re going to be thinking, you might as well think big.” But that’s another topic for another session.

Here, I’m going to show you some detailed examples of how an agent can differentiate himself using some simple positioning and branding strategies that I have used with other clients to great success.

Many people perceive that being an agent in any industry is like being a salesperson. Someone who is always competing with all the other thousands of salespeople in the industry. To a certain extend it is correct. Those other agents are also looking for the same deals that you are. It is a matter of who gets the deal first. So they are relentlessly going out there to cold prospect.

Now, I am not a fan of cold prospecting. To me, cold prospecting is like bashing your head against the wall, hoping it will crumble before you start bleeding… most people just end up being very disappointed. Why do you think new agents don’t last long? I stron

Leadership without vision isn't true leadership at all. It is management. While management is both valuable and necessary, it is simply not the stuff that takes people and organizations to new heights of achievement.

Women are taking control of their financial destinies and careers by starting and running their own business. Women owned business opportunities are often of the work-at-home type due to several reasons.

Business opportunity leads are very important to the growth of all types of businesses. Building your business implies obtaining the right business opportunity leads. But most of the time, it is hard to find the right leads for the business. The best business opportunity leads will cost you a large amount of money.
