At a recent tourism industry conference, the participants explored how effective partnerships could help boost travel to their region.A long chain of ‘travel partners’ was involved, including national tourism boards, wholesalers, travel agents, airlines, hotels, taxis and transport companies, restaurants, tourist attractions, shopping malls, medical facilities, media representatives and even banks.The panel discussion was lively. The airline suggested the media should lower advertising rates. The journalist said national tourism boards should provide more up-to-date information. Restaurants asked travel agents to pre-book spec
Teach your kids the amazing power of residual income. Whether it’s a photo they take for a stock photography website, or a book they write and sell 10,000 copies of, they can learn that they don’t have to trade an hour of their time for an hour’s worth of pay. They can do something once, and reap the rewards for years to come.
Teach your kids that there is profit and loss in business. Not every dollar you make can be spent. Some needs to be invested back into your business, some goes to taxes, and some needs to go to your employees’ salaries (if applicable). Show them your
The accurate and standardized collection of data plays a vital role in the success of a clinical trial. An important step in electronic clinical data management (eCDM) is electronic data capture (EDC).However, the success of EDC is dependent on how well-trained and knowledgeable the clinical research coordinators and associates are in the use of EDC. There are many options for training on an EDC solution – printed materials, but these can quickly become out of date and the success is dependent on how the individual uses the material, classroom training, but this can be expensive to conduct or webcasts, which can be more cost effective to co
At 4 and 6 years old, my sons are already noticing the differences between employees and entrepreneurs. I can’t help but wonder if they too will become entrepreneurs several years from now. Certainly they see some of the benefits–more flexible schedules (Mommy can get them on and off the bus in the morning and afternoon), no commuting costs (mommy doesn’t complain about the price of gas), mommy can watch school plays, help with kidwriting at kindergarten, chauffer them to doctor appointments and speech therapy sessions, and stay home with them if they’re sick without it being a major inconvenience.
I hope that as they grow up, they’ll be able to see the hard work and rewards that come with being an entrepreneur. I’d like them to be able to spend more time doing activities they enjoy, spendi time with their family and friends and spend their working hours doing something they love. So how do we, as entrepreneurs, encourage our children to take the path of entrepreneurial freedom?
Entrepreneurial Lesson Number One: Have Your Kids Help with Your Business: Even young kids can help you with very simple business tasks. A 3 or 4 year old can put some outgoing letters in the mailbox and raise the flag. A 5 or 6 year old can help you weigh a package on a home scale and tell you the reading (be sure to double-check for accuracy). Young kids can help pick up the house before a client stops by your home, accompany you on trips to the office supply store and post office. Be sure to tell them what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.
Older children can help with filing and fulfilling orders, responsible teenagers can be taught to screen and respond to customer email or answer your business phone. If they have a knack for numbers, they could even help you with balancing your books.
Entrepreneurial Lesson Number Two: Encourage Children to Take Risks I’m not talking about allowing your children to jump off a 20 foot wall just to see what happens. But “no” should not be the most common word in your vocabulary. If your child wants to try something new, let them try it, even if you think it will fail. It doesn’t matter if your child is the shortest one in the class and wants to try out for the basketball team, or wants to make a peanut butter and bologna sandwich that will definitely taste awful. Let them try and learn from their own efforts.
Haven’t you had some failed experiments in your business? I have. These periodic failures may knock you down, but don’t you get back up and try again? Teach your kids to do the same, and they will be on their way to developing an entrepreneurial spirit.
Entrepreneurial Lesson Number Three: Give Your Kids a Financial Education As soon as your kids are old enough, start teaching them about money. Let them know that as employees, they can pretty much expect the same paycheck week after week with modest increases until they retire. But as an entrepreneur, they are in control of their own financial future. How hard and smart they work will directly affect their immediate income and their long-term wealth.

The ‘Spirit of Service’ Award is given to uniquely deserving teams and individuals who go way beyond the call of duty to serve, aid or comfort the heart of another human being.One worthy winner is an unnamed night nurse in the maternity ward of a nearby hospital.A new father wrote to me with this report:‘My experience at the hospital was very positive. I was staying over with my wife after the delivery. One night I had a headache (maybe from the lack of sleep and being a first-time parent). I asked one of the staff for a pain reliever. She gave me a neck rubdown for a few minutes instead! That really made me feel better

Business cards are very useful as an advertising tool when you are launching a new business. Never leave home without your cards as you never know when you will meet someone to whom you want to give the card.Print your cards in bright colors and bold print and start advertising your business in your area. Frequent the busy areas around our business area. Go to the shopping malls or parking garages to hand out your cards. Do this with a smile and a greeting so that the passers by will want to stop and take one from you.

Understanding that people could possible resist your planned change would help to prevent the same resistance later on when the measures are implemented.Resistance is seldom a rational issue. It is most often about a feeling people have about management issues and ‘not being involved’ is under the top 10 causes.Take this imaginative case; you are an employee, writing for a small company and out of the blue you hear about a new measure to improve the quality of the copywriting. Let’s say that this measure is to do about increasing the size (word count) of articles and by doing that the quality should improve. A fresh idea prese

The question about how much blame is not about determining any verdict of guilty or not guilty as the courts will do this. It really relates to shareholders, employees, community and country losses suffered as a result of the collapse.In the end various parties have and may still be found to have a portion of the blame and shareholders and employees who have suffered most are certainly keen to see final outcomes to this situation. However one of the major contributors may never be accounted for; this being the market itself. The market (stock market) is made up of many components and this certainly includes investors.When we a

Teach your kids that there is profit and loss in business. Not every dollar you make can be spent. Some needs to be invested back into your business, some goes to taxes, and some needs to go to your employees’ salaries (if applicable). Show them your quarterly statements. Show them the difference between your gross and net income. All these money lessons will serve them well over the years, even if they choose not to be entrepreneurs.
Despite your best efforts, your kids still might decide to become corporate drones. You’ll love them anyway. But if you’re anything like me, you’ll have an extra sense of satisfaction if they take control of their own destiny and become entrepreneurs or business owners just like mom or pop. So while they’re young, answer their questions, teach them the vocabulary, get them involved, and encourage them to take appropriate risks and not be afraid of failure. You’ll both be glad you did.
