Hub You - Traps for Young (and Old) Entrepreneurs
There is no easy way to define exactly what editors, publishers, PR managers, non-profit directors, advertising executives, and other industry professionals want from writers. There are no written guidelines, standard requirements, or official specifications that apply to writing jobs across the board... Every employer has special expectations and each writing position demands different skills. In an attempt to gather helpful hints for writers seeking to land a job in one of the many career fields mentioned in my previous article Finding Your Niche at - :

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
Most business owners start out as technical expert in their field. For example – an engineer decides to start their own company after working for someone else for several years. He/she knows plenty about engineering, but not a lot about running a successful business. Most of us learn as we go, hence the high rate of business failure.
There are many things that can undermine a business. Here are a few:

Self-promotion - if done properly – isn’t something you should shy away from, especially if your goal is to get ahead at work. Putting yourself in front of executives who can have a positive impact on your career is vital to corporate advancement.Before tackling this goal, consider the image you want to project. Do you want to be seen as visionary? Decisive? A leader?

If you are planning on setting up a business one of the first best steps you can take is to contact your Secretary of State (SOS) by phone or by going to their website to request a business start up package related to the business you are planning to start. The depth of information provided by the (SOS) varies from state to state but at a minimum they will be able to guide you to the appropriate agencies to help you comply with local and state authorities. Many SOS have business start up packages specifically tailored to your business industry and provides a checklist of info

We define brand as a representation of consumer perception — the perception and feeling toward a product or service. For example, when we think of Disney, we may think of “magic,” or when we think of Harley-Davidson, we may think of “individuality.” Each of these brands has done an exceptional job in branding themselves as something more than a “table stake” (representing the minimum investment as a cost of entry) of the category.

Go to school, get good grades, go to college, get a job working ‘for the man’, and retire in 30 or 40 years. This is the m
Getting wedded to a single idea and sticking with it too long.
How long has it been since you updated your offer? That can be as simple as delivering your product or service in a new way. Those people who are married to the single, same idea for a along time will fnd themselves left behind in the marketplace. Remember, new ideas are the currency of entrepreneurs.
