Will You Add? - Leadership – Do You Use or Abuse Power?
If I Were a Rich (Wo)Man
If you are not happy, you need to get that fixed. If you are not rich, you are not happy. Seems like a bold statement to make, doesn’t it? How many millions of people are doing a job that they just hate? My guess is that that number is probably too high to count and too scary to even consider. How often do you dread Monday because you believe not only is this an awful day in itself, but also that you will have four more beyond Monday that you will also have to face. I know how you feel; I was like that for a very long time. I don’t want to go back? Do you want to really stay there?If you took longer than five seconds to answer that question, then you are not really ready to do what it takes to make the difference in your life. When you are so ready the question will barely be out but you will already be answeri

What an Alarm Clock Can Teach Us About Online Collaboration
About 3 months ago I bought a new clock radio. Last night, I found that I needed to use the alarm for the first time. So I looked at all the buttons, took a wild guess as to how to set the alarm, and managed to change the correct time to the wrong time.But failed to set the alarm.So I searched the web and found a copy of the user manual. After following the instructions, I successfully set the alarm so that it would ring at 5:30am on every weekend morning for the rest of my life. But I still couldn't set the alarm to ring the next day.The solution? I went to a 24 hour pharmacy, bought an alarm clock for $5.99, plugged it in, and pushed the button labeled "set alarm." Worked like a charm.So what does this have to do with using technology to support online collaboration? Too many tools try t

Think you want to sell cars for a living? You might want to read what follows first.In spite of what most people think, selling cars is not as simple as just showing somebody an automobile and getting them to sign on the bottom line. The car selling process for a salesman is actually quite involved with many steps along the way.For starters, most of the large car dealers have a sales force. This sales force is broken up into teams and shifts. Because most dealerships are open late, one shift takes the morning and afternoon while another shift takes

How to Save Money by Making Your Own Sign
In the sign industry we commonly refer to the material that the sign is made out of as the substrate. Examples include, wood, vinyl banners, aluminum, coroplast, etc. But what many customers do not realize is that they can purchase vinyl lettering or vinyl decals and apply them directly to typical substrates themselves. Translation – saving money by buying blank substrates inexpensively at local hardware stores such as Home Depot and Lowes and avoiding the prices sign companies need to charge to apply the material. Although you do pay tax by buying locally on the substrate, you can save tax on the vinyl by ordering over the internet.What are vinyl letters and/or vinyl decals? They are letters (or images) that come prespaced according to customer specifications as words, phrases, or sentences on pre masking

Advertising Balloons: The Five W's
The effectiveness of advertising balloons is topped only by the relatively new phenomenon of advertising wrapping. Wrapping, which consists of printing advertising on thin material and literally wrapping it around an object to turn it into a billboard, is extremely costly.

Who: Advertising inflatables are relatively inexpensive, and can definitely accommodate even the most modest advertising budget. Advertising balloons allow small- and medium-sized businesses and organizations to compete with their larger counterparts.
