Hub You - The 9 Key Distinctions of Successful Solo-Entrepreneurs!
This is a true story.I was 25 years old when I answered an ad in the Toronto Star one day.It read "GROUND FLOOR OPPORTUNITY". The content of the ad basically discussed the fact that the company was new,willing to train managers in every facet of the business and would promote successful candidates into their own office.As well they had large ,international intentions.I walked into a cramped ,shabby interior of an office smack dab in the heart of Chinatown but what struck me was the energy of the place and the confidence of the gentleman who interviewed me ( unbeknownst to me at the time but he was a millionaire by the age of 30).I was hired on a 100% commission plan only and thus I entered the world of telemarketing selling paper rolls and ribbons for POS,cash registers and credit card machines.It was a classic boiler room only the business was a legitimate model through and through.However,hustle and attitude were the vernacular of the day.These gentlemen had run businesses before but their forte was strictly a direct sales platform where their peopel were independent brokers and every deal was cash on the barrelhead.The one big gaffe that they were committing and it proved to be a valuable lesson for me to pay heed to before I was promoted to my first office 11 months later was this:they had a phone book for every,and I mean every province,territory,region and major island in Canada.One gent even specialized in contacting

When I was a child, there was a pool nearby and every year my parents bought us season tickets. My brother and I swam there everyday. One day we were swimming the length of the pool underwater. As I came up at the edge of the pool gasping for air, the lifeguard was there to meet me. He asked if my brother and I would join the swim team. We were so excited; we talked about it for days.The next few weeks we prepared for competition. That day arrived and our first meet took us to a pool across town. We all piled out of the car and I still remember how our excitement was shattered. As I looked across the parking lot at the other team, each member was in a matching uniform. At that moment, I knew the thoughts of my teammates, “We were going to get creamed.” Our coach saw our faces and quickly said, “Shake it off, they just look pretty.” Yes, they did and we lost. After all, we looked like a bunch of kids from a watering hole. The other team even told us that. We all felt it. They were a real team with real uniforms.That’s how it is in the business game. You're judged by appearance. That’s because when you first meet a person, visual appearance is the first item sent to the brain. It’s the only data the brain has at that time. The minute I saw the other team in those splendid matching uniforms, my brain said, “They’re better than you.”Hey ladies, get the Uniform! Since your image is the first piece of infor
First, one pre-distinction. We are not talking about “habits” in this article. There’s really nothing wrong with habits, except that you are still looking at habits. And, you probably already knew the habits before you even read about them…you just weren’t getting them to stick.
The problem with habits is that it’s easy to backslide because they aren’t really YOURS. You haven’t really owned them. Just when you are about to decide they are valuable and working, something comes up that throws a twist in the whole thing and there you are back again, living your same old habits.
A distinction, on the other hand, is not a habit or a secret, or even the latest tip of the day. A distinction is often a subtle difference in language, but it brings powerful new insight, meaning and perspective to the situation at hand. Once you grasp the distinction, and begin acting on it, you will notice distinct, measurable changes in the way you run yourself and your business, and in the successes you experience.
As you incorporate these 9 key distinctions into your life and business, you will create a key shift in how you think, how you evaluate, and how you approach any situation. You can never go back to the old way again – unlike the old paradigm of “habits”.

Job openings are usually abundant for food service workers. Population growth, the increase of many different styles of food, and the upsurge in restaurants have created many new positions. The majority of openings will arise from high turnover, since food service work is often a short-term source of income for students, those between jobs, and trainees who want work experience to enhance their entrance into other hospitality, more lucrative fields.Keen competition is usual for upmarket positions in popular restaurants, International hotels and fine dining establishments, where likely earnings from tips are greatest.Food and beverage servers are the frontline of customer service. Waiters whether male or female, are the largest group of these workers. Waiters serve food and drinks to guests in hotels, restaurants, clubs, bistros, cafes, coffee shops, and other dining establishments. Before a restaurant is open, or before the guests arrive at a function, (such as a wedding), the waiting staff may have several jobs to do. They might have to move tables around, polish the cutlery, lay the tables; putting out tablecloths, napkins, and cutlery, crockery, glassware, and table decorations.Some wait staff greet customers, escort them to their tables, seat them, and hand them menus. They may answer questions, explain menu items and specials, and keep tables and dining areas clean, neat and prepare fresh settings for new diners. They

Traveling is a fact of life for any executive in the computer consulting business! It doesn’t matter if you are going down the street or across the country, traveling is just a fact of life. The correct lifestyle decisions on the road will ensure you remain healthy, maintain your stamina, and are ready for any challenge.I spend a good ten days a month on the road now flying across the country to different meetings, projects and conferences. Maintaining a proper diet, fitness routine and balanced lifestyle take discipline when at home and more so when on the road. Here are some basic tips I employ to maintaining a healthy lifestyle while travelling on business.Diet – Eating properly is one of the most important disciplines you can have on the road. Rushing between meetings and missing meals often means making poor choices later in the day. Avoiding snack food and fast food is a good place to start. Many airports and hotels are now offering healthier choices on their menus. Your diet is critically important to ensuring that you are looking after yourself.Drink lots of water – I have found by drinking lots of water during a conference, my mental retention level increases and by avoiding over consumption of coffee and alcohol I can remain sharp so that no details are missed. This also applies to soft drinks and other drinks with excessive amounts of caffeine.Fitness – Your physical fitness is another key compon

Today everyone is looking for that special job that will suit their exact needs. In this day and age we all have circumstances, situations, obligations, etc. that make demands on our time and energy. In most cases students will get a job that will give them enough money to pay for the fuel for their car and a few nights out, assuming they even have a night off.Why should any student who is studying hard and working hard, and building up a huge debt in the process, spend what little available time they have left slaving away for someone else with minimal payback? The answer is simple. That's the way it has always been. Employers know that they can get cheap labor that can add and subtract, converse if necessary, sell, stock, clean, and on and on for very little pay or benefits. This is because the jobs that pay more and offer more are only available to someone they think will stay with them for a while and not be a transient for just a few months.However, today there is a way around this dilemma faced by thousands of students everywhere. It really is possible to make the money they need, have time to study, develop a social life, and at the same time build something for their future. That last one is something they can't even begin to think about in their current job situations.OK, so just what is this super magical answer you ask. Well it's nothing that new or different. It simply isn't usually thought of as an answer for

When we aim for consistency in our communications, values, messages, images, offerings, and the customer experiences we create, we take another significant step toward developing long-lasting and meaningful customer relationships that will boost our bottom line.We know that as consumers, we are able to exercise our choices to achieve the most enjoyable and efficient experiences possible. But whenever we are unhappy consumers, how likely are we to complain about it?Research shows that only a small fraction of customers will inform a company of what they dislike. The majority of silent, unhappy buyers "vote with their feet" and simply don't return. Sam Walton, the late Wal Mart founder, said: "There is only one boss: the customer. And he can fire everybody in the company, from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else."So, since buyers are unlikely to complain (unless they're very unhappy), we must be extremely careful to ensure that they don't become unhappy about anything in their experiences, or they're likely to leave without telling us why! This article (the first in a series) explains the role of consistency in boosting customer retention and satisfaction.Inventing Your Customer "Secret Sauce"What recipe makes any relationship with a product or service stand out deliciously from all of the others?

What are the 9 Key Distinctions of Successful Solo- Entrepreneurs?
1. Force vs. Power
When you are forcing something, you are pushing and shoving to get things to work out the way you want. There is a great deal of effort involved, and usually struggle.
Power, on the other hand, implies a strength that goes beyond what you might be able to exert. You experience power when you align your inner energies, beliefs, and emotions with your outer actions. This will propel you forward toward your goals, with much less effort and fewer toes being stepped on.
Some people talk about this as flow, but it is really much more than that. It is a sense of energy and multiple dimensions working in tandem so that with each step you actually move ahead many paces.
For solo-entrepreneurs, who don’t have a large corporate machine backing them, this distinction becomes even more important. Power, rather than force, becomes the name of the game.
Remember a time when you felt confident, in flow, and successes seemed to just come to you. What were you focused on? How were you being? What actions were you taking? Use these answers as a self-prescription for tapping into this power state so that you no longer have to rely on force.
2. Accomplish vs. Attain
Accomplishment has a sense of finality, an end point, and refers more to a task. Accomplishments often feel meaningless once you’ve accomplished them. Have you ever worked hard in order to get something, and then once you had it, it didn’t seem so important or meaningful any more? There was a bit of a letdown.
Attainment, on the other hand, has no end. It is based in a spiritual or inspired knowing that what you are doing is meaningful at a level that goes far beyond just you or your company. A sense of attainment provides inspira
