Greatness and the Silicon Valley Gold Rush
Imagine you are rich. Very rich. Obscenely rich.Normal people in normal parts of the world only imagine being that rich at an abstract level. They don’t really believe it is possible. Or at least, they don’t structure their lives around the expectation of being obscenely rich.In the mid-nineties, a phenomenon happened here in Silicon Valley, which defied all laws of market economics. Companies could be successful without having to make money or be profitable. Success meant Billions of Dollars in market capitalization, and consequently, very rich Venture Capitalists, founders, executives and employees.Even receptionists, during this time, could conceive of making Millions. (Just to put it in perspective, a receptionist in India makes about $2000/year.)People started believing that being rich was their birthright. It

So you want to be a Salesperson?
The first requirement in the pursuit of a happy and successful career in selling is your own belief in the value of the product or service that you are selling. This is an ethics issue.If you are not totally convinced that what you are offering represents good value then the chances are you will not sell it successfully. Or if you do then your own self-esteem will suffer - not a price worth paying, especially when there are so many valuable products and services waiting for you to exploit. The raw materials you need for Selling.1) Social Skills 2) The Need 3) Time 4) Product or technical knowledge 5) Ideas 6) Energy Your job as the salesman is to maximise the effectiveness of all these ingredients, for the benefit of the customer, the company and you, in that order.Organising

The one thing that bugs me most about our industry is those dream stealers. Those are the people that give you all the reasons why you should NOT do something, or tell you all the reasons WHY it won't work, yet they have never succeeded at anything themselves.

Don't let any one or anything steal your dreams. Dream big and make them come true. You can do it. Don't let anyone tell you different.

Just this past week, I ran into a very old friend that I had lost touch with and had not seen or talked to in many years. We talked for a while and she was flabergasted to hear I had left the corporate world years and years ago. I shared with her what I was doing, and she was stunned to hear that it was "network marketing". We exchanged phone numbers and vowed to get back in touch.

A few days later I had a call from her. Evidently, she was so intrigued by the mystery of my business, that she went online to research more. She ran into someone else she knew also in our industry, and she mentioned my little card business and how well I was doing. The person said to her, "Well of course she's doing well, she was successful in another company before, so she would do well, but you'd not be

RFID Companies
In any rapidly emerging market sector, there are companies that proceed with bold plans but fail to achieve their targets. Then there are those that calmly build lucrative businesses. As far as RFID (radio frequency identification) is concerned, many companies are re-evaluating their policies after disappointment, while others are succeeding.The internet is the best source of searching for RFID companies. Some examples are Baxtek Solutions, Datex Corporation, Kornyk Computer Solutions International, Inc., The L D S Corporation, and Miles Technologies, Inc. Productivity of RFID operations can change by market sector, label frequency, and position in the value chain. In RFID, profitability is not associated with the size of the market, but many people are attracted to the largest markets despite the success rate being low. Also, customer

A Novel Way to Get An Innovative Product to Market
This week I had the opportunity to launch a new product at the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association’s annual trade show in Orlando. This is an annual fair that brings together the manufacturers of all size to present and introduce new wares for the youth market. As in all industries, the competition is fierce, the innovations many and the marketing strategies are endlessly varied.During lulls in the action I walked the floor and did a bit of networking. I had the good fortune to meet a woman, standing at the smallest, most sparsely merchandised booth in the show. As we chatted she opened up to me about what her goals were for her product, at this time and at this expensive, high-end show.Her display consisted solely of a single prototype of her invention. She had no packaging, no graphics, no branding, none of the element

Has Anyone Seen The Customer Lately?
After many conversations during my last visit to the Bay Area and several networking events back in NYC, I noticed a strange and unwelcome similarity in the remarks and ripostes of leaders of traditional and digital media companies. Each in their own ways, they commented profusely about revenue streams, commerce, and traffic, all very reasonable concerns.But missing was the prominence of the CUSTOMER.You remember the customer, don’t you? Not long ago, the business bookshelves were littered with advice about meeting the needs of the customer, developing a 360 degree view of the customer, and ensuring a delightful customer experience. And the interactive domain was supposed to be the perfect environment for giving the customer what s/he wanted whenever s/he wanted it, while being able to measure and therefore opti

Shipping Cases
A shipping case encompasses all types of cartons or containers used to safely transport goods from a particular place to another area. Formerly, only standardized rectangular-shaped boxes were used for transporting materials and other kinds of products. However, with the advancement of technology, manufacturers are now producing customizable shipping cases in different shapes and sizes to meet the requirements of prospective customers.There are many types of shipping cases, such as custom ATA shipping cases, telescope cases, flight cases, hardwood cases, fiberglass cases, medical equipment cases, graphics cases, storm cases, trade show cases, etc. Each type has its own unique features and advantages.Shipping cases paved a new way in the packaging industry for shipping goods to various destinations. A shipping case avoids any los

The person said to her, "Well of course she's doing well, she was successful in another company before, so she would do well, but you'd not be able to do what she is doing". When she told me the persons name, I didn't even KNOW them. Never heard of them in my life, yet they were telling her all the reasons I was successful.

I thought back to the beginning times, when I started Network Marketing. I was told once by a wise old man, that once you start to succeed in the industry, the bigger you get the more people will tell "your" story or take pot shots at you, and I just laughed and wondered if that means I'm making headway.

Anyway, they then proceeded to pitch my friend on the latest deal they were in which was a juice deal. Nothing wrong with "juice" but honestly, I don't see the fascination myself. I see a multitude of juice companies, selling from $25-50 a bottle and all trying to convince others that their juice is better than the next guys. I spent 12 years in the health business, and I do believe in health products, but I came to the realization that while I did, for the m
