Today from an un-expected source there was a great example of good customer relations and business practice.With the holiday coming I had ordered a delivery of logs for our hearth. As usual I took the opportunity to ask the log man how business was in view of the run up to Christmas.He is extremely busy trying to maintain good customer relations by satisfying all of his customers including one of the l

    Accountability and Victimization-Getting Off the Hamster Wheel and Getting to Engaged Leadership
    In part one of this article I will define the differences between making decisions as a victim or as an accountable leader. In part two of this article I will define what it takes to act as an accountable executive leader and offer some solutions operating from the accountable stance. Operating from an accountable standpoint offers obvious advantages to any organization. In the past I've had conversations with leaders about accountability and leadership. Most often, they bemoan the lack of accountability in their organizations saying such things as "people don't take ownership" or "they don't act as if it is their project" yet they often don't know what to do differe
    Q: I’m graduating this year with a degree in business and would like to start my own business rather than get a corporate job. I have a few business ideas, but none of them really gets me excited. Should I just put my business plans on hold and get a job until the right opportunity comes along? -- Carlton M.

    A: Congratulations on the impending degree, Carlton. Never having attended a higher institution of learning myself, I have great respect for anyone who can withstand four years of non-mandatory schooling and emerge with sheepskin in hand. I drove by a college once. It looked hard, so I kept going. I do have a pair of sheepskin boots, but I don’t think they ever helped me get a job. They do make me taller, but that’s another story.

    Seriously, I envy your position and applaud your efforts. You’re young, you’re educated, you’re ambitious, you’re probably much better looking than me, and soon you’ll leave the comfort and warmth of your tiny dorm room to go out into the big, cold, cruel world to seek your fortune and make your mark. The fun is just about to begin, my friend. I hope you’re ready for the ride. If you think college was tough, just wait until real life sets in.

    Tips on Starting a Day Care Business
    Every day more and more families are relying on day care centers to look after their young children as they go about their daily tasks. There's an urgent need for day care centers in many communities because more and more mothers with pre-schoolers now have to find jobs outside the home. Starting a day care business - Getting Started First, you need to do some basic research in your area of interest to find out roughly how many people or families need day care services. There's no point in opening up a day care center in an area without children. Is there a high demand for day care centers in your area? You need to ask around and loo

    Improve Your People Skills With A Temporary Secretarial Job
    It can be extremely difficult to find your ideal job today. The working climate is very competitive, more so than it has been in the last few years, purely because of the introduction of temping or staffing agencies to help resolve problems in the workforce. There have not been enough individuals in certain industries to comfortably staff the various companies that struggle to run from day to day. Getting a job is easy enough if you choose the right agency, especially if you skills are in demand. A temporary secretarial job, for example, is a common one and can test your people skills out to the full.Getting a temporary secretarial job can really help you to g

    Plastic Injection Molding
    What is Plastic Injection Molding?Injection molding is a molding procedure whereby a heat-softened plastic material is forced from a cylinder into a relatively cool cavity giving the article the desired shape. Injection molding is a manufacturing technique for making parts from plastic material. Molten plastic is injected at high pressure into a mold, which is the inverse of the desired shape. The mold is made by a mold maker from metal, usually either steel or aluminum, and precision-machined to form the features of the desired part. Injection molding is very widely used for manufacturing a variety of parts, from the smallest component to entire body p

    begin, my friend. I hope you’re ready for the ride. If you think college was tough, just wait until real life sets in.

    Now on to your question: should you put your business plans on hold and get a job until the right opportunity comes along. I really can’t make that call for you. That’s a decision you’ll have to make for yourself, based on your situation, your goals, your finances, your responsibilities, your commitments, and all the other factors that make Carlton’s world go around.

    I can tell you that as a breed, entrepreneurs are an impatient lot and many jump on the first business bandwagon that comes along just for the sake of being in business. That’s a big mistake that usually comes back to bite them in their entrepreneurial behinds.

    You should always have a solid idea and a very clear plan of action before starting a business. It is the failure to plan that leads to the failure of most businesses. You didn’t plan on hating the business you’re in, you didn’t plan on needing so much money to get started; you didn’t plan on growing so fast; you didn’t plan on there being no market for your product; etc. A failure to plan is a plan to fail. Of course you probably learned that in “Old Business Adage 101.”

    Starting a business simply because you have a business degree is not a smart thing to do. That would be
