Hub You - Interview with Best-selling Entrepreneurial Authors Barbara Winters and Nick Williams
There is a marked difference between the quick-service companies that are celebrating an anniversary this year and the foodservice products that are doing the same. To wit, little has changed about the Tater Tot since it first appeared in grocery stores 50 years ago. Quite a bit has changed at Burger King during that same time span. Buffalo wings might have undergone a few evolutions since 1964—new flavors, boneless chicken, fried versus baked—but those modifications are nothing compared to what's happened at Arby's over the last 40 years. Beloved sauces, dishes, and sides can—and often should—retain their original identity; companies do not have that same option.Had many of today's great companies not embraced change and adhered to old attitudes about the marketplace, they wouldn't be where they are today. A culture of constant learn
Barbara remembers first becoming self-employed, “I couldn’t find any kind of guidance for the sort of business I wanted so it was very trial and error. I didn’t know anybody else creating a one-person business so I was a real slow upstart.”

"To have respect for ourselves guides our morals; and to have a deference for others governs our manners." Lawrence Sterne, Irish novelist & satirist (1713 - 1768)Etiquette, or good manners, is an important part of our day to day lives. Whether we realise it or not we are always subconsciously adhering to rules of etiquette. Much of the time these are unwritten; for example giving up your seat to a lady or elderly person, queuing for a bus in an orderly fashion according to who arrived first or simply saying “please” or “thank you”. All are examples of etiquette; complex unwritten rules that reflect a culture’s values.Etiquette accomplishes many tasks. However, the one noteworthy function that etiquette does perform is that it shows respect and deference to another. By doing so it maintains good interpersonal relationships. Ult
As a newly self-employed journalist / writer and life coach, I found Barbara Winter’s book, “Making a Living Without a Job” invaluable so when I got a chance to interview her and Nick Williams in London, I was delighted. Barbara advocates having Multiple Profit Centres so her approach is ideal for writers, coaches and other entrepreneurs as we often build our incomes by developing several strings for our bows.
Barbara co-founded the Dreambuilders Community with her friend Nick Williams. They are bringing entrepreneurs together so we can support and inspire each other. Between them, they have several decades of entrepreneurial experience.
Nick Williams has inspired countless entrepreneurs with his bestsellers including "The Work We Were Born To Do”. Nick is also founder of Heart at Work London and a trustee Director of Alternatives.

One area of growing concern to building owners is indoor air quality. Feeding poor indoor air quality can be one of over 1,000 types of mold found in the United States and over 100,000 types found worldwide. Mold and mildew can grow rampant indoors and lead to various health problems such as allergic reactions, asthma, sneezing, eye and skin irritation, and other respiratory complaints. Carpets that are not cleaned and dried properly can be a haven for mold spores, which thrive on excessive moisture.There is no practical way to keep mold spores from entering your buildings. Spores enter through open doorways, windows, and ventilation systems. People also track mold spores through buildings, as they can attach themselves to clothing and shoes.Molds need three things to grow: moisture, nutrients and a suitable material such as ca

No matter how much time and energy you invest in job seeking, critical mistakes can derail your efforts. Consider the following job search scenario. Each of the mistakes described below can put your job search off track, but all are easy to avoid.Mistake #1: Starting with a HandicapYour job search is underway. Time to get out your resume, dust it off, and add your most recent experience… Right?Wrong. A strong job search starts with strategizing, and a strong resume should be the vehicle to put your strategy into action. It isn't enough to dust off an old resume – you need a revised resume that is tailored to a specific position and a specific employer.Ask yourself… What are the top needs and preferences of this employer? How can you address the employer’s needs with specific information about your experience

Big business understands the leverage and reach available through Joint Ventures. H&R Block Inc. and 7-Eleven Inc. signed a three-year agreement Wednesday that enables Block customers to cash refund loan checks at 1,100 7-Eleven stores in the United States. Don’t create a competency or distribution channel - borrow one! Share the love, as it were.Online dating is growing in popularity. And people who meet online typically like to meet for the first time in a coffee house like Starbucks. Armed with that data, Starbucks teamed with Yahoo! Personals to produce an "Espresso Dating Guide" that can be found exclusively online at http://personals.yahoo.com/espressodating. The guide offers advice such as what to wear on a first date, what to talk about and, if necessary, how to end the date gracefully. Starbucks is running a print ad campaign

You’ve very likely heard of someone who is making a good living as a medical transcriptionist. He or she might even be working from the comfort of their home. And you’ve probably asked yourself if this might be a career option for you.It may well be. Let’s take a look at the facts.What exactly is medical transcription? In the course of their work, doctors and other healthcare professionals make dictated recordings of various things including physical examination observations, patient history, operative reports, referral letters, discharge summaries, observations regarding imaging data and so on.A medical transcriptionist listens to these recordings and transcribes them into medical reports, correspondence, etc. She listens to a segment of recording, pauses the playback and keys in what is said before moving on to the nex

Nick says, “I always enjoyed working with people. I enjoyed helping people and being in service to people. So I began to think maybe that was what I was going to do but there was a lot of fear because I had to change my life and I didn’t know how I was going to do it. So I think a lot of my teaching comes out of my experience and compassion.”
Barbara wants to bring everyone together. She says, “I think we nag about that in the Dreambuilders Community, about building your own network of self-employed people. It’s incredibly important.”
Asked if he ever wanted to give up on his own dreams, Nick says, “I think, ‘What else would I do?’ Do I want to go work in a shop? No. Do I want to serve sandwiches? No. Really, I am totally committed to my life so any setback is just an obstacle to overcome. I get back on track by laughing about it.”
Barbara adds, “Even in the dark times, I never believed it was permanent. With all the challenges, there was always a part of me that knew it was going to work eventually. It was something I st
