Hub You - Mastermind Your Small Business Success
In order to attract the best and brightest of those newly qualified to take audit positions – both internal and external – companies are going to have to come up with more money. A major survey of HR professionals at the Big Four firms and recruitment firms states that salaries for entry level audit jobs will increase up to 25% over the next two to three years. All this has taken positions in audit out of the back office and made audit jobs some of the most hotly recruited positions out there.External auditors are charged with looking
Well? Who can you turn to for help in making critical decisions? Wouldn’t it be nice to talk to someone on a regular basis who 1) you could trust and 2) could give you feedback based on their experience?
Consider joining a small business mastermind forum. Mastermind forums or peer advisory groups provide small business owners and entrepreneurs a confidential environment to share with each other, helping each other by leveraging each other’s experience and k
I called an acquaintance the other day and offered to share with them a business opportunity I had recently become involved in. I mentioned I was looking for some partners and asked if he would be interested in having a look.He said he was interested.I made the appointment and showed up on the doorstep at the appointed time.My business associate and I were invited in to their living room, and after a few introductions and pleasantries, the wife excused herself and we introduced the business opportunity.Not all opportunities are meant for all peop
Although it had been a dream of my husband’s for decades, the thought of starting a business on my own was simultaneously exhilarating and terrifying. After some careful thought and discussion, my husband Gerard and I cashed in our NY chips and moved to Maine in 2003 to birth Gerard’s “baby”, his jewelry store, Porte4.
For all of you self-employed, small business owners reading this, you know what I mean about the exhilarating / terrifying contrasting emotions that occur in the course of running your own business don’t you? In fact, the exhilaration can turn to terror in the blink of an eye, feeling like the two emotions are inseparable.
But get here, we did and I found the resources available to small business owners and entrepreneurs overwhelming. If you are thinking about starting a business, want to buy a business or want to grow the business you already have, there’s no shortage of information here: SCORE, SBA, ASBDC, www.Business.Gov, Small Business Assistance Center at www.sbacnetwork.org. These are just a few; the list goes on & on. Two other great sources of information are Entrepreneur.com and the small business section on About.com ( www.about.com/business). Happy researching!!
Gathering the information wasn’t the problem. What I found the most difficult was converting all the information I found into usable and practical ‘how-to’ data. It was data overload and I needed to talk to someone about the real-world of starting the business, not the academics of it. Things like:

There are two distinctly different markets. Oddly enough, both markets need the exact same marketing process to work. As elsewhere described, the first market is the selling of commodities, either as products or services; commodities meaning a known value, i.e. a commonly accepted result. For example, a $.69 can of green beans and a $4.95 car wash represent expected results. The second market is, obviously, products and/or services with either an unknown result and/or an unknown price. (Result + price = value)Interestingly, both markets compel the same 3 components to

It’s not unusual for clients of service providers to insist that their budget dollars be quickly applied to a variety of flashy tactics. Yet, when pressed, many acknowledge that what they REALLY want for their money is visible, end-game change.This is especially true in public relations where clients often second-guess careful plans for achieving that end-game change by insisting on premature use of tactics like news releases, talk-show appearances and sports sponsorships.But obviously, flashy tactics alone will not satisfy those clients once they

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't hear another small business owners complaining about some of the customers they have to do business with. Some of them REALLY are legitimate complaints, but after listening to 100's of different complaints, I have found the root of most of them is a lack of understanding. Therefore, I hope this article gets you on the road of addressing complaints and customer problems in your home business.The first step is to get past the irritation. It's only human nature to get a little upset when a customer writes to complain about some

Spoiled defined as an adjective means to treat with excessive indulgence. Have you been accused of being spoiled? I have. Admittedly, I spoil myself regularly. Manicures, pedicures, Day Spa pampering and other things that are no doubt the norm for many others are enjoyed and necessary for me.Since I spoil myself after working hard, smart and passionately, I have come to expect preferential treatment when I'm spending this hard earned money I make. Nowadays, practically every retailer I infrequent, I am only setting myself up for disappointment, frustr

The benefits of a good group will FAR exceed the investment. Among them are:
There are a number of executive / CEO forum groups you can consider. Most are franchised and target the executives of larger companies (those with $10 million in sales or more). From personal experience I know the challenges small business owners and solo-preneurs have are every bit as plentiful and just as frustrating and complex as those of larger organizations. However, the smaller the business the more the professional can benefit from participating in a small business mastermind forum.
Larger organizations have their boards of directors and big budgets. Small business owners and entrepreneurs should have their own advisory support. Grow your small business success through a small business mastermind group.
Until next time, BE BOLD, Do Bold Business. Remember, it all starts with a Vision.
