Will Your Business Survive Without You?
I had a health scare in December.As it turns out, everything's perfectly okay. But the possibility of things not being okay really knocked me for a loop.For the first time ... ever ... I thought about what would happen to my business if I suddenly weren't around to take care of it.What an eye-opener!Fact is, I'm the only person who really knows how things work in my business.Several people - from my attorney to my coach to my book printer - know 'bits' of it. But there's really no one who knows enough about my business to step in, figure things out, and keep things moving without me.And that was pre

Help, I've Been Promoted To A Manager's Role
Supervising people is the toughest of all leadership roles.Supervisors in many organisations walk a tightrope between management demands for higher productivity, a safer workplace and improved customer satisfaction and the demands of workers for higher pay, better conditions and a say in how the work is designed and executed.Supervisors have to plan, instruct, coach, counsel, report, negotiate and prioritise, often with little authority.Good supervisors should make good managers without much help. The skills they have stand them in good stead for management. Right?Except for a few financial skills and strategic skills which they

Your shingle, proclaiming “Jane or Joe Smith Virtual Assistant Services”, bounces around and blows in the cyber-wind. Proudly, and rightly so, you sport your membership in several like organizations and online networking forums. But where do you go from here? How do you build upon your current knowledge, skills and abilities as you work to increase your local/global awareness and visibility? And at what cost? Particularly since many of your hard-earned pennies have already been set aside for start-up, for marketing, and for ongoing office essentials!

“Word of mouth”, in this case that “word” garnered from interaction with members and guests at industry message boards (such as the virtual assistant forums), can become the charcoal starter to whoosh your business bonfire into action. There’s barely a greater catalyst than “talking up something” with someone who “gets you!”

How's Your Yellow Page Ad's ROI?
Let’s assume that you are one of the millions of family-run businesses that form the very core of the typical local Yellow Page directory. Say you’re the area plumber, auto repair shop, electrician, insurance agent, or restaurant owner. You have a YP ad because it seemed like the right thing to do when you opened up a few years back. Your YP rep helped draw up the ad and it looks pretty good. It has a picture of your shop, which he took with his digital camera. There’s a nice map and you even opted for some color too. The headline is the business name and you’ve also increased the size a few times. So, how is it working? Are you excited about the results?

Emerging Trends In Nursing Jobs
The nursing profession has witnessed tremendous changes in the last five decades. In this continually changing environment, it is important to study the trends in nursing jobs in order to determine a successful career path. Today the demand for Registered Nurses or RNs has increased considerably, because of two factors. Firstly, relatively less fresh enrolment down the years since the turn of the century along with retirements of extant RNs has led to a shortage of trained nurses. Secondly, there is an increase in a nurse's range of function, with rise in the number of the elderly due to improved healthcare systems and the introduction of community-based

Has Anyone Seen The Customer Lately?
After many conversations during my last visit to the Bay Area and several networking events back in NYC, I noticed a strange and unwelcome similarity in the remarks and ripostes of leaders of traditional and digital media companies. Each in their own ways, they commented profusely about revenue streams, commerce, and traffic, all very reasonable concerns.But missing was the prominence of the CUSTOMER.You remember the customer, don’t you? Not long ago, the business bookshelves were littered with advice about meeting the needs of the customer, developing a 360 degree view of the customer, and ensuring a delightful customer expe

Employment Conditions in the Canadian Furniture Sector
As of 2004 the furniture industry in Canada employed some 92,810 persons, more than 44% higher than 10 years ago, but almost unchanged since the beginning of this century. The improvement from its 1993 recession low of just 59,559 is truly remarkable. In other words furniture industry employment has exhibited much resiliency, especially considering the impacts the industry faced since the early 1980s from Canada’s free trade agreement. The more recent employment decline is a reflection of the industry’s slowdown due to the strengthening Canadian dollar and more Asian competition.The rise and subsequent fall affected predominantly production workers.
