The Quest for Passive Income
Passive Income, residuals, royalties three ways to get paid multiple times for a one-time effort. You write a song in 1970 it gets covered by many artists. Each artist sells many albums or radio stations play your tune and Presto! you get a royalty check in the mail, even decades after you first published the song. Here's another example:The Best-selling author, Robert Ludlum was an extremely popular spy-thriller writer. Espionage based fiction was at its peak during the Cold War Years prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Berlin Wall. Two of his titles, The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy were written in the mid-seventies, roughly thirty years ago.Both books became recent smash hits starring Matt Damon. Mr Lud

Rely on Internet Local Search to Bolster Your Yellow Page Directory Category
The Internet can promote your services in unlimited relevant areas that buyers are looking forEven when they both have a website, a service business (like window blinds) has to use the Internet differently than an online business does. For example, a chiropractor needs to provide different information a trucking firm, to supply what customers search for. While they both can benefit from Local Search exposure, what information they need to provide about themselves varies greatly.Break down the limitations imposed by category thinkingWe've been trained by the Yellow Page directory to look for a business within its primary category section. But Local Search allows a person to find what they want under many more descriptive term

You don’t have to be running a multinational company to benefit from a SWOT analysis. No matter what size your enterprise, you will take a benefit from running a quick SWOT check.

For those who don't know, a SWOT analysis covers your STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, OPPORTUNITIES, and THREATS.

Take your strengths to begin with. All businesses have them; otherwise, there wouldn’t be a business in the first place. The point of highlighting them, is to increase them. If you can STRENGTHEN your STRENGTHS, you are on to a winner. And if you clearly understand what your strengths are, it is so much easier to add to them.

If you have a strong line of product sellers, then try and increase them. If you have a good agent, or good employee, producing great results, then give them more work and responsibility. If you have an exclusive line that pays a great margin, then market it more aggressively. Push your strengths, and ignore those products and lines that don't produce enough, or sufficient, profit.

WEAKNESSES? All businesses have those too. Know what they are, and attack them relentlessly as if they were the devil incarnate. Business is war, and it is a war that needs winning. Perhaps your products are too dear. Then do something about it. Perhaps they are not producing sufficient margin. Then tackle that head on. Perhaps you have a shop and too much of your stock is going missing. Then install CCTV. Perhaps your products are going out of date. Then wake up, and modernise. May be you don't spend enough time on your business. Then quit watching soa

A Resume Should Be an Abbreviated You
If you have a resume and you have sent it out to human resource directors in many corporations where you might like to get a job then you need to realize that your resume should be an abbreviated you; a 2 dimensional picture of the three-dimensional you. If you send out a resume and you get called back to come in for an interview; the human resource director should not be surprised by anything you say during the interview.In fact, your resume should have represented what you are about and provide no surprises. Perhaps, they might be pleasantly surprised by your demeanor, great attitude or personal outlook on life, but other than that you should be exactly what you had represented on your r?sum?.If you have over embellished your cred

Public Relations' 8 Fix Factors
I say to business, non-profit and association managers, a key part of your job description is – or should be – do everything you can to help your organization’s public relations effort as it strives to persuade important outside stakeholders to your way of thinking. Especially when it’s YOUR PR program that is tasked to move those stakeholders to behaviors that lead to the success of YOUR department or division.Which is why I suggest that business, non-profit and association managers embrace what I call PR’s 8 fix factors, those steps necessary to prepare their public relations operation for the battles certain to lie ahead.The fix factors are based on this fundamental premise: People act on their own perception of the fact

Lanyards - Then and Now
Most adults remember making lanyards at camp or in after-school youth programs. Some of them get a kick out of the thought that they’ve never really outgrown them, because so many people wear a lanyard as part of their work attire. Of course, these lanyards are completely different than the lanyards of our youth. In today’s business parlance, a lanyard is a strap you wear around your neck to keep your company identification visible and handy at all times. For many people, grabbing their lanyard as they walk out the door at home is as much second nature as grabbing their car keys.Badge lanyards are also popular at conventions. Lanyards replace those pin-on name tags that people hate to wear, and provide the extra benefits. It’s easy f

The #1 Job Search Mistake To Avoid: Not Preparing Your Mind!
Mental preparation is probably your most important task as you proceed in your job search. This not only needs to be worked on right from the start, but also on an ongoing basis.A healthy mindset is your best asset for the daunting task ahead. Here are some points to help you prepare mentally:1. Maintain positive self-esteem. You must believe in yourself and your abilities. You have special skills and talents that are valuable. Talk and think positively about yourself. Projecting this is the only way prospective employers will believe in you. If you are not convinced yourself, you will not be able to convince anyone else. Your confidence and self-belief are two important personality traits that any employer looks for, and they canno

it. Perhaps they are not producing sufficient margin. Then tackle that head on. Perhaps you have a shop and too much of your stock is going missing. Then install CCTV. Perhaps your products are going out of date. Then wake up, and modernise. May be you don't spend enough time on your business. Then quit watching soaps. I did, and it was the best thing I ever did. A good businessperson always knows their weaknesses inside out, and addresses them as much as they are able. Identify and destroy weaknesses as if they are an alien force about to obliterate your particular planet. If you don't, they will.

OPPORTUNITIES: If any business is to survive in the longer term, it must create and take on board new opportunities. Any business that chugs along doing the same thing month in month out, year in year out, without keeping one eye to the future, is a business that is ultimately doomed. So, what opportunities are currently out there for you? Perhaps there is a range of new ebooks that have come on the market with reproduction rights. May be there is an opportunity there for you increase your range, or venture into a completely new field, for you. May be the local pet shop in your town is closing down. Perhaps there is an opportunity there to enter that trade and mop up their previous business, and goodwill. Or may be the company you work for full time is closing down, or the boss you work for is retiring. Is there an opportunity there for you to take over, or buy that business? Perhaps you could even arrange easy payment terms to pay for it out of your ongo

Do you search through piles and files on your desk looking for prospect and customer information? If you do, you need a simple system to eliminate this wasted time. Some salespeople have tried using digital technology to improve this sales nightmare.
