Why are there free podcastsPodcasting, unlike other media forms, almost never has charges for services, and the vast majority of feed producers distribute free podcasts. This puts at odds with, say, online radio stations, news sites that offer media to subscribers, or the online music industry general. Even though podcasting has very direct correlations with industries like news and music that have strong business models, podcasting differs. Podcasting does not really have a business model, and hardly anyone is podcasting in order to profit from it.Th
I have told everyone who would listen that the best business book BY FAR that I have ever read is Good to Great by Jim Collins. This book is must-reading for any owner or manager who has aspirations to lead his or her company to greatness.
RULE #1: To be a great company you must have the RIGHT PEOPLE ON THE BUS and in the RIGHT SEAT ON THE BUS, meaning that you not only must hire the right people, but the right people must be in the right job.
RULE #2: If you have a person or people in your company that you have given up on; that is, people who don’t fit or are not achieving acceptable levels of performance…go ahead and terminate them. You’re doing them no favors if you rob them of months or years they could be productive for another organization.
BILL LEE’S 20 BEST HIRING RIGHT TIPS
1. Look on the applicant’s resume or application for clues as to common ground you can find with the candidate and use them to put the applicant at ease ASAP.
2. When setting up appointments -- especially if effective telephone skills influence the job’s success -- call the candidate yourself. Don’t delegate so much of the hiring process that your hiring instincts deteriorate over time.
3. Ask yourself: How would you feel if this particular candidate worked for one of your competitors?
4. If you have interest in pursuing the candidate, make it a point to meet his or her spouse. This is especially critical for members of your management team.
5. It’s extremely revealing to drive by where the candidate lives to see what kind of house he or she lives in and how well the property is maintained.

If you think a fire can’t happen to your business, think again. All it takes is some faulty wiring and a few moments of inattention for your business to go up in flames. Losing the site of your business can be devastating…but even more so, you’ll lose the documents and software that made your business possible. If you lose your important business documents in a fire, the best that can happen is that your credit rating will be damaged. The worst that can happen is that you’ll lose your business entirely—and many do.If you aren’t using a fire-resistant safe to

Often we get in such a hurry living, we lose sight of the important things that bring value and meaning to our lives. We spend much of our time repeating old habits and patterns, not really paying much attention to where these habits are taking us. Consistently giving quality service to your customers can help you bring value and meaning to your life. It will even bring you happiness, fulfillment, joy and success. Sounds too good to be true? What have you got to lose by taking a few minutes and reading on?Our lives are given real value and meaning by our relatio
5. It’s extremely revealing to drive by where the candidate lives to see what kind of house he or she lives in and how well the property is maintained.
6. Have the courage to hire Mr. or Ms. Perfect even when you don’t have an opening. Never stop looking for good people. Sales managers, for example, should get to know each vendor salesperson who calls on their firm.
7. Have the courage to terminate an employee who you have given up on even if you don’t yet have a replacement.
8. Learn the steps the applicant has taken in the past five years to become more professional, i.e., training programs attended, books read, etc.
9. Recruit where your competitors don’t -- your health club, country club, church, service club, etc., are examples. Your own employees, customers and vendors are other sources to find good people outside your own personal network.
10. In interviews, listen far more than you talk by asking good probing open-ended interview questions. Prepare your list of interview questions in advance of the interview so you’re not thinking of what you’re going to ask next while a candidate is still answering your last question.
11. Get past awkward periods of silence by saying something like, “I know that’s a tough question, please feel free to take your time in answering.”
12. Learn HOW the candidate performs tasks rather than strictly WHAT the candidate has accomplished.
13. Volunteer to the candidate every negative you can think of that pertains to the job you’re interviewing to fill. Get the negatives on the table so you can deal with them NOW rather than AFTER the candidate is hired.
