Working In A Business Vs. Working On A Business
Analogy is a powerful way of getting out of a mental logjam and seeing and understanding things more clearly.Many entrepreneurs and owners struggle understanding the difference between working “in a business” and working “on a business.” Working in a business is tactical in nature. It deals with the ongoing issues of what is. Working on a business deals with the issues of what should be or better yet what could be.If you think of the business you are in as a clothes washing machine it might be clearer. Every day you get up at 0-dark-thirty, do your thing and get into work. Working in the business is imagining yourself every day opening the washing machine lid, hitting the on button, hopping in and

They realize there’s no reason to ask a candidate if he or she goes to church or if they have reliable child care.The bad news for you is that not all of the interviewers you are going to encounter will be expe

Rejection Got You Down in the Job Search?
REJECTION IN THE JOB SEARCHGOT YOU DOWN?It's true, no one wants to be ignored or rejected in any situation.

How to Plan a Career
On the beginning a little disclaimer -- it’ll be neither a recipe for dummies nor extract from some wise book about self-management. It’ll be rather a small set of advices learnt based on my experience and observations.
