Resume Success Factors--What Exactly Is A Resume Anyway?
You know you're good...real good. The problem, though, is that you are struggling to demonstrate just how good you are on paper.Ah...the resume. If you've ever written one you know what a challenging task it can be.The Gregg Reference Manual tells us some fundamental facts about resumes:The purpose of your resume is to get you an employment meeting. An interview. Your resume will not get you a job.Your resume is not a medium for telling prospective employers about your long-term goals and aspirations. It is where you appeal to the

don’t believe them. I doubt very much the mind shuts off automatically when you walk into the office building. And I am willing to bet the minute you walk through the front door of your home your mind does not totally shut out work. When you have problems at work they place stress on personal relationships. When you have problems at home, unless you are a computer with a solid filing system, they walk through the front door of your office. It’s normal.

IT Consulting Services - Offer What Your Prospects Need
IT consulting services come in all shapes and sizes. When you first start a business it is often difficult to decide which IT consulting services to offer. Should you sell what you know, sell what is trendy, or sell what you think people want?The best way to figure out what IT consulting services to sell, and the products that are needed to support them, is to sell, service, and offer the IT consulting services that your prospects NEED.Sounds pretty intuitive, but what typically happens is businesses start-up offering IT consulting services that their prospects w

I know this might sound silly coming from someone who skirts the perimeter of the self-help industry. However, it supports the way I coach, so accurately, I have no other choice than to proclaim “There’s no such thing as the Self-Help Industry”.

There are consultants that seep into the self-help industry. Being a business coach as well as a consultant can be an attractive offer. It might seem like one heck of a deal to get two rolled up in one. And this story is not about maligning the business consulting industry. When it comes to getting business advice they are the greatest.

Consider this. You have a business in trouble and you call up a consultant/coach to help you out. Here is where the difference lies. A consultant listens to, and reviews all aspects of your business and offers advice, suggestions and changes to your business. If that is what you want then a consultant is for you. My job as a coach is totally different.

To say that business is just business is the biggest contradiction I’ve ever run in to. A business is ALL about relationships. What kind of relationship do you have with your colleagues, staff or employees? How good of a leader are you, even if you are the bottom of the staffing hierarchy? Every business needs and should have every person involved, thinking and acting like a leader.

What kind of relationship do you have with vendors, suppliers, customers? If you don’t want to even think about it, this is an area for coaching. How about all the fires you are putting out? Want to get to a place where you are responding to events in your business and not reacting?

What kind of personal relationships do you have outside your business? To say that these are unimportant is misleading. They are VERY important. Show me a person who says my work stays at work and my personal life is for home….well sorry I don’t believe them. I doubt very much the mind shuts off automatically when you walk into the office building. And I am willing to bet the minute you walk through the front door of your home your mind does not totally shut out work. When you have problems at work they place stress on personal relationships. When you have problems at home, unless you are a computer with a solid filing system, they walk through the front door of your office. It’s normal.

Are You Avoiding The #1 Mistake Most Startup Entrepreneurs Make?
The entrepreneur starting a business is extremely busy. Inspired by the dream of escaping the 9-5 work week, it is common for entrepreneurs to put in 100+ hour weeks during the startup phase. Every effort is made to ensure a profitable business in the future—from creating a catchy name to building the perfect product to orchestrating an effective marketing campaign. But in this flurry of activity, there is a strong propensity to forget something extremely important: building business relationships with other people.This tendency is further encouraged by our

The Key To Understanding Broad Market Behavior
Internet Marketers who are looking to capitalize on a niche market will generally focus on one sub category of that particular market and run with it.

CEO's Role in Family Business
I first met Roland (not his real name) in 1972. He was a high school student working a summer job in his father’s business.“We’re teaching him the business from the ground up,” his father told me proudly as he introduced me to the tall good looking kid. We shook hands, exchanged a few words, then Roland jumped on a fork lift and was off to stage another delivery.The next time I saw Roland, he was approaching 40 years of age and had served four years as company president.The business was located in a fast-growing metro market, but under Roland’s leadershi

Engraving Tools and Engraving Machines
Engraving is a process of incising a mark or design with an engraving tool onto a metal like zinc, copper, steel or non-metal like plastic. Gravers are conic tools (halved carbide round rod) with one cutting edge. The engraving equipments and tools like burin are pushed into the metal plate to produce cut and design of the marking. The deeper it penetrates into the metal, the wider the line becomes. The relationship between dipping depth and engraving width is determined by the top angle of the tool. Result may be a decorative mark or design in itself, as when silver or gold a

Coaching deals with handling the issues that in some way affect your business. Get to a place where you respond and not react to things in your business as well as your personal life. To believe that your business acts in isolation to the rest of your life is just not helpful or even true.

Do I know much about business? Well actually I do but I don’t give advice. My assumption is that you already know the solutions to what is vexing you. You already surrounded your business with people you admire and trust to show you how to run your business. If not, then you might want to reconsider the lack of business support. I would prefer you come up with THAT solution on your own and almost always my clients do.

“Hey! I should call up that consultant and get some help with my business plan!”

And my response would be, “Yes that is a great idea!”

If you run into a consultant who will give you business advice as well as coaching then that IS a good deal but they aren’t going to be cheap. If they are cheap then I would be suspicious.

What has this got to do with the self-help industry, not existing? Well all those books that tell you now to do things the “right” way…well there IS no right way. Exploring consulting vs. coaching was just a way to show the difference.There is only your way. I will never write a book on self-help. I don’t believe any one book is going to offer you the solution that is going to inspire, motivate and MAINTAIN the excitement that comes with “flow”.

I believe that I am a thought provoker and nothing more. You are the expert in your life and my job is to support you and ask the right questions. I know when I’ve followed my intuition and asked the right question, all sorts of lights start to come on. My clients walk away inspired, motivated and excited to try out what THEY figured out all on their own. I o
