Investing Psychology
Let me share an inspirational story with you, a metaphor which was the catalyst of my personal growth financially and my very own paradigm shift.Busy working or being financially productive!Once upon a time a very strong woodcutter asked for a job in a timber mill, and he got it. The pay was really good and so were the work conditions. For that reason, the woodcutter was determined to do his best. His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he was supposed to work. The fi

There is nothing unethical about making the most money you can on your invested dollar and nothing wrong with investing your money where you can make the most return on investment. There is nothing wrong with teaching society, civilizations, nations or government regulators the truth about where they are leading this nation. There is nothing wrong with winning markets or being an entrepreneur. There is nothing unethical about stating the truth about bad legislation, over regulation or outrageous litigation. If some people cannot handle a little Ayn Rand psychology to help enlighten them, they have no hope

Stop Throwing Money Away In Your IT Department
Companies continue throwing money at IT projects and accept a pathetic 30% success rate. The IT field is filled with complexity and the fast pace seems overwhelming at times, yet we as professionals should adapt to the changing environment and use available best practices to increase the success rate of IT projects. IT professionals need to understand best practice guidelines, processes, templates and how to deploy them in different situations.Following these best practices is not a silver

Businesses these days are stifled with inefficiencies brought on by bad legislation and brain dead regulators. But businesses have a choice; we have a way to fight the system. One way is to stop producing, raise prices and invest in better markets with higher returns and less regulation. As a matter of fact this is what many businesses do and are doing.

Look at all the off shoring of jobs and factories in other countries by US based corporations. Why are they doing this? Because it just makes no sense to beat your head against the wall with over regulation, Sarbox and folks like Elliot Spitzer with his extortion tactics. Recently someone wanted to buy a franchise from our company in California. He writes us and puts on the email address title; “RE; Franchise Opportunity” even though there was no first email from this gentleman and he then states:

“I'm interested in buying a franchise for the San Diego, CA market. Please send along any pertinent information I may need, along with information regarding "exclusivity" arrangements. I've never owned a franchise, but I have owned and operated any number of businesses over the years.”

We email him back:

“We are not selling franchises anymore in Southern California and as a matter of fact we are setting up units in San Diego right now. This business is too good to share profits with franchisees in So. Cal. Especially in such a litigious state. California just is not worthy of the incredible advantage franchising brings to the consumer and local economies. We would rather exploit the labor and take the money for ourselves and remove those monies to other places more worthy of investment from a free market standpoint. That is what all the companies do. Can't blame them. I know you understand.”

Now mind you in his first email he said he had owned and operated a number of businesses over the years. Yet, if this were true he would understand exactly what we were talking about; but instead we get back this email.

“No, I do not "understand. But if this isn't a joke, I will say this: You sound like one of the biggest assholes I've ever encountered in my entire life. And you can take your business and shove it up your ass...I can always outfit a truck and do the same thing. I also suggest you take a course in business ethics, professionalism...and some psychological counseling appears to be in order. Blow me.”

Now then either this guy is a complete competitor or a government regulator trying to pull some sort of entrapment scheme. Either way anyone who had been in business before understands how ridiculous the over regulation is in this current period, especially in California. If he is a regulator he got upset for me telling the truth and felt belittled. If he was a competitor, he simply wanted free information and was never going to buy anything anyway even if we were selling franchises there.

How to Use Color and Graphics in Your Business Proposals
Most large and small businesses have their own unique brand. This includes their logo, packaging or any other kind of graphic. Writing a good business proposal often requires some thought whether to use graphics and color.Research recommends using color and graphics except for those rare situations where the customer explicitly forbids it. Government bids are less common than it used to be. But, they need to be used with some judgment. Throwing in clip art or colorful logos will pro

Come Home Corporate America
Hollow Industrial BaseDuring the last decade, a hot topic in Japan and America has been the “hollowing out” of their industrial bases. The share of Japanese-owned productive capacity located abroad has grown from 8% in 1994 to 40% today. The United States currently has just over 50% of its manufacturing base located offshore. For both Japan and America, the large outflows of direct investment, especially to China, have caused an uneasy feeling that both countries had bleak futures a

Common Business Myth-You Have To Be A Born Salesperson
We were all born salespeople. Over the years we have been brainwashed by our family members, our friends and other uninformed people on how NOT to sell, or at least not to sell naturally.Some of the best salespeople don't think of themselves as salespeople. They think of themselves as people that "enjoy" other people.Do you know how to ask questions? Do you know how to listen? Do you know how to carry on a conversation?These are all natural sales skills that we all possess. T

Time Management-Defining Stupidity
Stupidity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different resultsNo one should be billing themselves as stupid. After all you are operating in a very high-paced world, handling multiple demands on your time, and still producing good work. Yet if you are operating in this mode and are feeling stressed and unproductive because your ToDo list and daily stacks keep growing, then you may be exemplifying that definition.Are you using the same te

tion and was never going to buy anything anyway even if we were selling franchises there.

Apparently this poser or misrepresentation of a franchise inquiry cannot handle truth. Can you? Are you willing to take a hard look at your business and the over regulation and traps of litigation? Is it really worth the hassle? Ever wonder why so many businesses could care less about service anymore, raise their prices or just retire early and stop producing those things you as a consumer desire? Do you? Go read some Ayn Rand and think about it.

As management members and business owners we detest dealing with unions in our businesses. Unfortunately, the government has allowed people to collectively bargain for compensation & wages, benefits and terms of employment. This leaves many companies at a loss for an effective labor relations strategy.
