    Work at Home Franchise Opportunities
    Potential Franchisees seeking a business opportunity that can be run from have never had such a great choice. Franchisors have now realised that the potential for home based franchises is huge. More and more people want to leave the rat race and work for themselves at the same time as keeping their overheads low.The types of businesses that can be successfully run from home

    Large Posters Is The Best Means Of Promotion
    Anything informative can help you in telling the public about your ideas and thoughts. Disseminating information is not a difficult task, if you have the right pathway to go about it. In this case, large posters can be really helpful as they have that clarity of message which small or medium sized posters do not have. Because of the size of large posters, the message printed in th
    Have you ever become a victim of your own perfection paralysis when it comes to marketing yourself? I talked to a few clients this week who have been toying with the idea of putting together a talk to promote their services for months but haven’t done anything about it. The problem is they’re waiting to have the talk written, finished, practiced, the flyer completed and have a list of marketing sources that are lined up to promote the thing before actually selecting a date and getting it done. NONSENSE!

    If I’d waited to have all things perfectly settled before moving forward with a talk, I’d still have only 3 or 4 clients in my practice, and believe me, I wouldn’t be moving forward very quickly. Instead, I believe in scrapping this traditional route and going backwards. Ask any clients of mine and they’ll tell you I’m notorious for getting my clients to commit to a date 4 weeks from today (yes, we actually have them pull out their calendar and select the date right then and there) and book the space, time, and title of the talk, before anything else is done.

    Musings on the Restaurant Business
    Did you know restaurant services in the US is a $430 Billion per year industry? I didn’t.Common sense would suggest that good restaurants be placed in high-income areas such as Silicon Valley. Why then does PaloAlto - Menlo Park - Los Altos have so little to offer? After all, the population here eats out a lot, and with the tech-generated wealth in the hands of relatively y

    The Bottom Line on Clamshells and Blisters -- How They Can Prevent Your Profits From Taking a Beatin

The National Association for Shoplifting Prevention (NASP) estimates that U.S. retailers lose over $10 billion annually from shoplifting alone, a figure that translates to $25 million every single day!However, in recent years the p

    How to Sell Advertising - A 'Clever' Way That You May Not Have Used Before!
    Matching and MirroringNeuro-linguistic programs teach you a lot about the psychology of selling and it’s worth your while reading a book on this subject, or studying a tape. Matching and mirroring is one concept I believe you should adopt in a sales process. First of all, if you have several staff, try to use the salesperson that is closest to the customer’s age (and someti

    Magically, everything always gets done. The talk is written, finished, practiced, the flyer is completed and they have a list of marketing sources lined up to promote the thing, and always before the deadline. I call this being PULLED forward by your marketing, instead of being a victim of Perfection Paralysis.

    When you set yourself up to stop procrastinating and to start working to make it happen, it works every time. In the past, I too have dragged my feet on picking a date for an event I wanted to give. ‘Should I have it in the summer, should I wait ‘til fall?’ Since nothing was happening, I pulled out my calendar, picked a date, gave my credit card number to reserve the space and then made it happen, and you can too! There’s nothing like setting a deadline and getting in gear to make it happen.

    Your Client Attraction Assignment:

    Your turn. Are you procrastinating putting together a seminar or big event to market your services and reach out to your prospective clients? End the questioning NOW and just pick a date. Commit and then everything will fall
