Profiting from Disaster: How to Ethically Make Money During Times of Crisis
When a disaster strikes—whether it be a hurricane, earthquake, flood, terrorist attack, or some other devastating event—many businesses are eager to volunteer and assist those in need. They want to help rebuild the damaged homes and businesses, and they often donate the necessary materials and manpower to do so. Unfortunately, the resources that are brought in on a volunteer and donation basis typically run out much sooner than expected. And very often, those businesses who gladly gave their time and resources to those in need feel guilty charging for additional services, so they pack up and leave the area, proud of their good deed, yet leaving those in the disaster area with few recovery options.A great example of this is what happened in Port Charlotte, Florida after hurricane Charley.

Getting more clients starts with getting your foot in the door. A great one-liner can be your door man, and get more customers and partners to come in and start a relationship with your company.

After reading numerous articles, attending conferences and analyzing research reports, here’s what my crystal ball says are the top 10 trends we’ll be seeing in the workplace in 2006:As businesses struggle to attract and retain the best and the brightest people in a hot market, as our population continues to gray, and the global economy gains more momentum, employers will have to start managing and engaging their work force. All the automation, tools and processes will go in vein if there aren’t good people to create, invent and manage the business.William Bridges noted

Understanding the Letter of Intent (LOI) in the Sale of a Business
The letter of intent is an essential step in facilitating the sale of a business. The purpose is to establish the economic framework for buyer and business seller to move to the due diligence phase. It basically says that with all the available information I have thus far seen and if that all stands the scrutiny of due diligence, I am willing to buy your business for X dollars under Y payment terms. It is however, non- binding pending the execution of mutually acceptable purchase agreements.If I am a seller, I am going to insist that I have this letter establishing the economics of the deal before I agree to allow my company to be turned inside out with buyer staff and advisors. If, as the seller, I want $5 million and the LOI specifies $4.5 million, I am going to attempt to negotiate up before I count

How To Succeed At Anything
"In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure." Bill CosbyThe word "failure" has so many negative connotations - and in fact, there are many negative things about failing to accomplish something that you set out to do.However, failure has an "up" side.Failure is a lesson to be learned, not an indication that you can't succeed. If you do some research on the most successful people in the world, you'll find that their careers are marked by numerous failures. The difference between them and most other people is that they did not let their failures deter them from working towards their grand visions.There is no such thing as a total failure. Whatever it is you're doing, if the overall effect is not what you wanted you can always find some par

Changing Careers? Avoid These 5 Classic Mistakes
Most of the experts say that the average person can expect to change careers (not just jobs) 3 to 5 times in their working life. The reasons? Many people are burnt-out, underpaid, stressed out, bored, unsatisfied, or at a career dead end. For some, their careers have changed on them --thanks to corporate mergers, changes in technology, company restructuring, age discrimination, and a thousand other reasons. After counseling thousands of people in finding new careers and jobs, we have found that there are 5 classic mistakes most career and job changers make: MISTAKE 1: NO CLEAR GOAL.

How many times do you get asked, so what do you do? When talking to anyone you meet who could be a potential client or might know or have relationships with people who are potential clients, your goal is to earn the right to keep talking, to incite curiosity and to get them to ask you to talk more. This initial answer to that question is not meant to be a full explanation of your entire life’s work. Instead the intent here is to get them interested and to get them to ask you a question so you can tell them more. To be memorable you must be different.

At the Flourishing Business™ our tagline for our consulting practice is short and sweet, “We help entrepreneurs make smart decisions and avoid potential pitfalls.” It immediately gets a person with any connection to entrepreneurs to say, “How do you do that?” if they’re truly interested. Most people make the mistake of launching into their pitch too quickly without giving a short and informative amount of information about their company. By using a teasing one-liner you tell the main benefit that your company provides and who your target market is before launching into details that may not be required or desired. If your prospect is interested after hearing your one-liner they will want to know more and ask for that information rather than you forcing it on them. The goal of the one-liner isn’t to sell it’s to contin

We all have been involved in changes. A simple move from one house to a new one count as a real experience. What did you most (dis)like about the move; the radical change on the day that you delivered the key and entered the new place, or the long gradual adaptation period afterwards?
