    Can Small Restaurants Avoid Getting Eaten Up By Large Food Franchises? Part 1
    Eating out is one of our nation’s biggest pastimes. It is convenient and gives us the opportunity to enjoy a meal without having to prepare it, serve it or wash the dishes! No matter where you look in your neighborhood, it is a surefire bet that you will find some type of eatery beckoning you to step in and grab a bite!I decided to look in the yellow pages of my telephone book under “restaurants’ just to scan through the listings. I was literally blown away by the hundreds of restaurants citing their cuisine, contact information, what forms of payment they honor, if they offer specialty dishes (ie. vegetarian), whether they are dine in
    te the nasties from your mind, and alert the Big-Five senses to pay-attention and concentrate on the work-at-hand.

    One-more-once – when you want to clear your head, focus on being productive – wake-up! your mind-and-body (not before going to sleep) – use ‘Breathe-Stretch-Shake – Let-it-Go!’

    Are You Sure?

    People are ‘unsure’ of their place, and who-and-what they are. Confidence is an assumption – not a tangible entity like a leg. Is self-confidence a product of your bank-account, a decade or two of success?

    Real as a Right-Sided-Stroke

    After fifteen-years as Division Vice-President overseeing 1,200 executives, graduating from MIT with a Ph.D, and earned wealth with all its support systems. He smiled comically as he shared his deepest secret with a stranger…

    “Every day I come to work – that’s fifteen-years – I wait to hear they figured-it-out – that I’m faking it, and know-nothing. No, it didn’t happen today – but probably tomorrow – maybe not. Okay, I’ll stick it out for anotherday – I still got ‘em fooled – aint that the limit?”

    How can you relax and enjoy your success when you fear your competency? Where does confidence come from? Is it genetic and hardwired, or can you buy it at Walmart?

    Self-Confidence is not a ‘given’, it requires daily reinforcement at both your conscious and non-conscious mind - or its shoots-its-wad and silently departs like Hurricane Rita.

    You’ve Heard of ANTs – ‘Automatic-Negative-Thoughts

    Psychologists estimate we have two-hundred different ANTs living in our mind to advise us about our talents, character, and personal-worth. Ninety-eight percent of the time they automatically assure us we stink, are a no-talent, and are fooling-the-public.

    Read the lips of the Australian tennis-pro playing for the title – who smashed the ball into the net – “You stupid, no-good S.O.B. You… *&$!!”, he says to himself.

    His blood boils over, and he can hardly breathe, but it goes on for up to sixty-seconds. Guess happens to him on the next serve - in that state-of-mind? Right – he goofs again, and takes that as evidence the ANTs are right! Okay – what’s your first-reaction to falling-flat on your fact? You need a new strategy that empowers you – not insults you when you stumble.

    The ANTs Got Him

    The first step is having ‘Two-Minute-Strategies™’ to make self-esteem and personal-power automatic - and run on auto-pilot.

    Know these Two-Minutes-Strategies and punch ‘illegitimate’ self-doubt – in the snout.

    If There Are No Customers, There Are No Jobs!
    I recently started my VA business, so I dropped in to my local Office Supply store (one of the big chains) to pick up what I expected to be approximately $1,000.00 worth of needed software, pens, etc. (The VA business is all about support, so having exactly what you need when you need it in order to serve your customer is imperative.) It's true I could have purchased a great deal of this material online and saved myself some money, but, because I was mainly focusing on software, I wanted to be able to ask questions and make certain I was buying exactly what I needed, and not getting more than necessary, etc. The opportunity to create a relatio

    Stealing Proprietary Information from Franchising Companies
    Corporate Espionage is so great in America that competitors will go to lengths to find out what your company has that makes it so much better than everyone else’s. Often they will even go so far as to set up a dummy corporation or LLC and actually go thru the sales process to buy a franchise, sometimes even go thru the purchase process, just to get all the information they need to compete with you, using your proprietary methods.This is why I came up with a clause in our franchise agreements which helped us in knowing who we are dealing with up front and what their interests really are. Below is one of the clauses we use;7.16 Oth

    Strategic Planning
    Strategic Planning entails the making of schemes to be adhered to by an entire organization. This pertains to the entire organization’s achievement and progress over a certain period of time in the future. It also takes into account the way industry conditions change with the times - in areas such as technology and communications.The particular nature of the organization, as brought out by its leadership, its culture, complexities in its environment, its size and other specific aspects prevalent there, determine its Strategic Planning mode. Thus, there arise a number of models, approaches and perspectives of Strategic Planning. These ma

    This exercise takes no more than ninety (90) seconds!

    1. Stand up – yes, that requires a decision.
    2. Close your eyes – do it when you are in private.
    3. Visualize your heart, and place your right-hand in the center of your chest.
    4. Take a diaphragmatic breath (deeply inhale), and count to seven-beats - one-one-thousand, two-one-thousand, three-one…etc.
    5. Switch hands and place your left-hand a hand-span above your navel (belly-button, umbilicus), and visualize your belly-button.
    6. Hold that inhalation to a count of ten-beats – (seconds) while simultaneously visualizing your belly-button.
    7. Exhale s-l-o-w-l-y to a count of seven-beats, and open your eyes.
    8. Now – stretch out your arms and legs – and really s-t-r-e-t-c-h.
    9. Shake-your-body vigorously – starting from your head and working down to your feet.
    10. Last – and 50% of your grade – Slap-your-hand-down on a flat-surface, and shout-out - if it is appropriate, or self-talk – enthusiastically … “Let-it-Go!”

    “But What’s the meaning of All This?”

    We intellectuals – left-brain dominant – successful folk – spend 95% of consciousness analyzing the ‘why?’ of stuff. Just this once – just-do-it! - and focus on the ‘how’ of things. The results are instantaneous – your brain gets a 12% jolt of oxygen and glucose, and disposes of excess carbon dioxide.

    You’re awake and kicking – and ready to ‘concentrate’ on whatever you choose.

    Conduct your own experiment – ‘Breathe-Stretch-Shake – Let-it-Go!’ - and discover your power of focus-and-attention – particularly after you notice yourself winding-down to a snail.

    “But when do I do this exercise…and how do I…?”

    Who is the Boss of You?

    Use your volition – c-h-o-o-s-e, make decisions. Resign from being a ‘grunt’, and be the commander-in-chief. It’s your life or go ask your Mama if this is worth learning. Confidence means ‘with-trust’, and leads to self-assurance through belief, when you take command of your mind-and-body.

    See ya,
