The Purpose Driven Business
I'd like to start this article off with a question. What's the purpose of a business? Or, perhaps more specifically, what's the purpose of your business? Do you ever think about that throughout the course of the day? Or, does it only haunt you at night or when you are trying to clear a jam in the copier?

It has impact on cash flow, profits, shareholder value,
employee compensation, product development, Marketing
activities, competitive positioning, just to name a few.

How
To Sell Your Products Without Competition
Selling
your products at shows can be difficult when you have
a lot of competition. Although some show organizers are
careful to have a good mix of vendors, it's not uncommon
for other shows to have 20% or more of the booths filled
with vendors in the same niche - which is a buyer's market
and a seller's disappointing show.

The
Magic Of Keep-in-Touch Marketing
When
the stock market crashed in 1929, there were a lot of
people who lost everything they had. You would think that
the result of that event would be complete and utter despair.
And, in fact, there were those who reacted that way. There
were numerous cases of people who committed suicide because
they lost their life savings on that fateful day. They
simply went into a depression and just couldn’t bring
themselves to go on with life.

It’s
Time To Get Out Of The BOX!
"It
is never too late to be what you might have been." (George
Eliot)
I have found that truly successful people surround themselves
with the support that makes them excel. Over years of
working with clients I have found that people struggle
when they put their businesses and their lives in a self-imposed
limiting box and keep doing the same things over and over
again.

they would be by this time.

For
