Hub You - How to Avoid Falling Asleep Behind the Conversational Wheel
We all know that a successful business requires advertising...and that can be expensive. We also know that owning your own business can mean a very tight budget. So what do you do when you don't have enough cash to advertise? Start trading! Trading products and services for advertising can not only give the small business person excellent opportunities for exposure, but it also saves money.Trading for advertising can be easier than you think. For example, say you own a donut or bagel shop. Try giving boxes of your goods to local radio stations for daily giveaways. In return, they can speak highly of your products on the air. Or, try simply showing up with treats for the m
Helping people throw off the yoke of employment, the last legalized form of slavery, is the most important way to usher people into the economic world of the 21st Century.Robert Kiyosaki, the “Rich Dad” of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” fame, advanced self-employment in a recent article. We've added our thoughts to his.Kiyosaki says:1.“Schools train students to be employees who look for jobs rather than train entrepreneurs who create jobs and businesses.”Alquist adds:America’s current public school educational model predates even the demised Industrial Revolution, going back into agrarian society, giving students ample time off to help parents wi
But even when you’re not driving, it’s still possible to fall asleep behind the wheel. The conversational wheel, that is…
To avoid falling asleep behind the conversational wheel, you must avoid four behaviors. The following guide will show you how to get off at the right exit, concentrate on the road, merge into the correct lane and avoid road rage with other drivers.

Don’t Miss Your Exit
How many times have you zoomed past your exit because you were uncertain where to get off? If you drive like me, at least three times a week. Thanks for nothing, Map Quest.
The same goes for conversation. When you are uncertain, you will miss your exit, or the opportunity to make a valuable connection with someone. This uncertainty breeds from the fear of rejection - the number one reason people don’t start conversatio

Once upon a time a company introduced a new product. They didn’t want their competition to know, so they didn’t advertise or even send out a news release. Sales of the new product were disappointing. The manufacturer was unhappy. What went wrong? Any thoughts?My answer is that this kind of “stealth marketing” doesn’t work. You need to be visible to sell something. When this manufacturer started promoting their new product, sales picked up.So visibility is good for business. But how do you get visible with limited resources? Here are some programs I recommend.1) Postcard marketing - Use postcards to ask for referrals, announce events, build website traffic, say t

Spring is traditionally a time for new beginnings and as we start to springclean our homes, some of us may be considering springcleaning our careers.Why are so many of us unhappy at work? There are probably as many reasons as there are unhappy people, but there are a few underlying factors which influence many of us. Think back to your school days and the careers advice you were given by teachers, advisors and your parents. Just how useful was it?My own memories are of a half hour session with a teacher at the age of 14, when I said I wanted to be a nurse, because it was the first thing that came into my head, influenced by my parents’ opinions. When I was 18, I had another half

Big Risks As a retailer we take on big risks when we enter into the domain of large national shopping center conglomerates, or even a smaller independent mall, and establish our businesses within the confines of their domain.Whether we are an independent, a franchise, or part of a chain, every shop requires an enormous injection of capital, risk, apprehension and anxiety.We enter into long leases requiring us to commit to our ability to operate a successful business for years on end, weathering recessions, booms, slowdowns, economic and customer uncertainty, which can and does happen.The Benefits But, yes, we are given certain benefits.

Therefore, take an active instead of a passive role in your conversations and prepare your introduction ahead of time. Think about what you will say when you meet new people. Read the newspaper for discussion points. Another effective technique is to have three open-ended questions ready in advance that will encourage self-disclosure and engagement. These ice breakers are your conversational “directions.” Use them, and you won’t find yourself driving where the streets have no names.
Keep Your Eyes on the Road
One of these days, my CD player is going to get me into an accident. I’m always distracted by that darn thing!
When interacting with people, what distracts you? Other stuff on your mind? Other people to talk to? Too self-conscious? Think about the last time you were introduced to someone and forgot everything about him. Especially his name. Ouch! The reason you fo
