A waste paper basket is surrounded by a smattering of scrunched up balls of paper. A hush falls over the studio as the creative director takes aim at the miniature basket ball hoop hanging delicately over the bin. He aims and fires from a distance of 2 metres. After the whooping and high fives have finally died down, the studio resumes back to some normality. A junior designer rummages through the bin to locate the winning paper ball as it did, coincidentally, have his latest logo creation on it that was waiting for a critique from the creative director - hmmmmm.The excitement, tension and ulcer inducing stress of putting that latent entrepreneurial flair into practice can bring with it decisions that were never really considered at the time of inception. One such area is the translation of the essence of your business into an identifiable brand.So many
If you are looking for a flexible office space plan that won’t keep you locked into a contract for a year or more, the first thing to forget is conventional lease space.You want to focus your search on ‘rental’ office space. Why rental? Because rentals generally offer the most flexible arrangements without requiring a long-term lease.One of the most convenient and wide-spread types of rental offices are called executive suites or executive office space. These can be found in cities all around the world.Although the name would imply expensive top floor office space, they are actually quite economical. In fact, you can often save as much as 70% over the cost of setting up and staffing conventional office space.No furniture required.One of the first things you’ll discover is that executive suites can be rented completely furnished.
In 1769 the Empress of Austria, Maria Therese invited a member of her entourage named Baron Wolfgang Von Kempelen to attend a conjuring show. Conjuring was a form of the emerging art of magic presentations. After the show was completed, Baron Von Kempelen announced loudly that the show was boring and he could do better.
The Empress took the Baron up on his declaration. She issued a challenge, which the Baron accepted, to return in six months with a completely new show. The Baron began to assemble the program that would, for 85 years, beguile and amaze audiences in Europe, America and South America.
The unveiling of “the Turk”, a mechanical chess playing robot, created an immediate sensation. A wooden man dressed in turban and Oriental garb was seated behind a square box with an ornate chessboard affixed to the top. Von Kempelen rotated the box, opening the doors on each side, revealing a complex series of gears, bearings and clock-like movements very intricately crafted. Turning a giant key, he w
You get to a stage where there is a team dedicated to running your day to day business. As a founder if you have been actively invovled, you quickly find yourself in a positions that get made redundant by your growing organization. Every thing you used to do is now being done by someone you have hired. From running technology development to doing sales demos, from managing books of accounts to hiring talent, from writing user manuals to editing press releases, every function you were involved with is now staffed.What do you do next? You can take it easy but I won't wander too far off on a break because there are still two things that only you can do that no one else can. The first is expectation management - internally and externally. The second is business development. Even if you have both functions staffed, there is still a directional and supervisory role that nee

Correctly Pricing A Business Is Important If You Really Want To Sell It!As a consultant I talk to many business owners, brokers, and agents on a daily basis about valuing businesses. It always amazes me on how some of these individuals come up with the values on small businesses being sold. No wonder only 30% of all businesses sell! In many instances no consideration is given to the total picture – like will the available cash flow of the business be able to pay the debt of a loan, will the deal as structured or priced even be attractive to financing sources, "cash" price vs. "note" price and how these factors figure into the equation!I have seen many "professional valuations" where the price just doesn't make sense – and sellers wonder why their business for sale just sits there with no action!Market ApproachThere is a solution that is grounded i

Let's face it: Most of us are stuck in jobs that make us feel bored and uninspired. We do it because we think that we have to. After all, no job means no money. Many of us feel trapped in trading time for money. We feel like a hamster running endlessly around the wheel. We either bang our heads against the wall trying to figure out how to change things or we resign ourselves to our current plight, hoping that the promise of a blissful retirement will make all of this worthwhile. But, the sad truth is that 95% of us don't ever experience a retirement that is as happy or fulfilling as we would have liked. The problem is that many of us are stuck in an old paradigm. The idea of working nine to five with benefits and a pension is slowly becoming outdated, as it was spurned in the industrial age, which has now passed. With the advent of technology and the internet

When you own a business, you may find yourself in situations that may be a little tricky to handle. Dealing with customers who steal is one of them.A few years back we were faced with the problem of how to handle our free water cups. It seems some of our customers were filling them with the fountain drinks instead of water. This was, of course, was theft - pure and simple, but we felt confronting the guilty customers would create a bad atmosphere in our restaurant and we wanted to change their behavior and keep them loyal.As we were mulling over how to handle this, one of the young men on our staff decided to take things into his own hands. While he was making his rounds, checking the dining area, he came across one of our chronic offenders. He walked over to his table and looked at his drink in the free water cup and said, "There is something wrong with y
After the Empress died, her successor Emperor Joseph arranged for Baron Von Kempelen to tour Europe with the amazing Turk. The chess-playing robot was a sensation everywhere. He played all comers and almost never lost. He played Benjamin Franklin, considered a Grand Master player, in Paris and easily beat the great American.
The Turk’s most famous match was played in 1799 against Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon was at the height of his power and was considered the most brilliant military, governmental and political strategist of his age. He prepared for his match with the Turk as if preparing for the invasion of Egypt. He studied the robot’s strategies, pace of play and the aggressive tactics the machine had utilized in besting the best chess players in all of Europe where chess was played
