Radio Program Sounds Good:There was a live concert program in ‘All India Radio’ by a master named “Astavadhani”. The title means that he is capable of listening to eight kinds of sounds.The program started with an auspicious ‘temple bell sound’ and followed by sounds of music with violin, drums, veena, vocal classical music, word by word recitation of a couplet, singing a song etc., All these are carried out by a group of people intermittently.

He starts listing the kinds of music he heard so far. He tells about the intricate details of the rhythms in music. He recalls about the number of times the bell rang during the program.

This is really a two headed coin, while part of me wants to say not it does not, the other part is screaming out yet it does. Ok let me qualify that sentence. From my years of being a hypnotist, I would have to say yes. I have seen too much over the years to deny its power. However from a different point of view I would say no, there is not a lot of prove to say that it does work. Let me put it this way, the old saying “A picture paints a thousands words” it is very true and works well with the sub-conscious mind. If you have ever been to see a hypnotist for any reason, be it on stage or in a clinic, what does he tell you to do? Yes that's right he tells you to imagine you are somewhere or doing something, he is painting a picture for your sub-conscious mind.When we try to relate that to a subliminal CD or tape we are left
He is not alone. It’s a common conversation. Although many entrepreneurs or business people know a bit about publicity or media exposure, the majority of them simply don’t understand the full benefits of “publicity placements” or how to go about generating them successfully. Publicity placements have always been a cost-efficient way to market a product/business and generate clients or customers, but because of lack of knowledge or a misunderstanding of what publicity is and does, many entrepreneurs don’t take full advantage of publicity opportunities -- and that can lead to missed marketing chances.
I recently surveyed a few dozen business owners and entrepreneurs in some newsgroups and business chat rooms about their knowledge of “publicity placements” in the media. I found out that only 37% knew that a simple “product profile” in a magazine was generated as a result of publicity efforts. Most thought the company had paid the media outlet to run the feature, much like an ad. And of that 37%, less than half of them knew HOW to generate a similar placement.

You can possibly teach a turkey to climb a tree – but it is a lot easier to hire a squirrel. Quality staffing means selecting the right people with the right skills for the right jobs and at the right time. A good hire can take the weight of the world off your shoulders. A poor one can eat up your time and energy and weaken an entire team. So, why do so many leaders place so many people in so many wrong places? Here are five key reasons.Failure to prepare. When leaders are so busy dealing with multiple issues everyday, they may not have the time to do the front-end homework that is required. Find the time because bad staffing decisions can be costly in terms of your time and your money.Failure to identify success factors. You must go beyond the job description. Make a list of the qualiti

The days of the pathetic singleton, sitting all alone at home moping over his or her lonely existence are over. Singles are more racially diverse, younger and enjoy a youthful outlook on life. They share a love of media and socializing and a wide number of activities from shopping to blogging.U.S. singletons find themselves as the majority group. They are increasingly going solo, but it’s not because they’ve been dumped; far from it, for them, solo life is a fantastic alternative to the ball and chain or eventual divorce. And this group is a force to be reckoned with or a market waiting to be captured, depending on how you look at it.Marketers would be wise to sit up and take notice of this ever expanding market. However, they’ll need to beware, this group isn’t interested in tired old marketing ideas that depict an

Congratulations! You have decided to become a “free agent” -- also known as an independent professional and a freelancer. Depending upon how you plan to handle your freelance lifestyle, you will need to establish how, where, when and with whom you will work.Make a plan and set some long and short-term goals. Determine what you want to do, who you want for clients, what contacts have you already established, what do you need to learn, and what are the initial steps you need to take to get set up? I suggest that you read the following emerging free agent credo that I found in Daniel Pink’s book Free Agent Nation: How America’s New Independent Workers Are Transforming the Way We Live: “The act of work itself should produce its own intrinsic rewards. You might as well enjoy what you do. Produce quality wor
Another interesting fact, because of the recent slowdown in the economy, expensive advertising budgets have been slashed. As a result, many businesses, like your competitors, are turning to publicity/PR campaigns as a more affordable means of marketing to compete with other companies. Here are some ways to use publicity placements to help your business:
Editorial Placements/Media Notification What some entrepreneurs might not realize is that we see editorial placements from publicity efforts everyday in the media: product profiles, feature articles and contributed by-lined articles in magazines, newspapers, trade industry newsletters or on TV/radio/cable newscasts & shows. This is not advertising, this is “EDITORIAL Placement” or “Media Notification” of a product, business or industry expert. Notify the appropriate media that your newsworthy product is on the market or your business is offering a unique new service and let them run a feature placement that will spread that message to your consumer market. These placements can detail your product or business very effectively, giving consumers some objective, pertinent information that may well entice them to become future customers.
These editorial placements are looked upon much more credibly than ad placements. That is not a slam on advertising. Paying for advertising placements is indeed an effective way to market your product. B
