A great way to raise money is with a Spring flower bulb fundraiser. This is usually done as an order-taker sale from a brochure showing colorful pictures and descriptions of available flowers and plants.You collect payment in advance, place your order, and arrange for pickup or home delivery when your supplier ships your group order. You can do a flower bulb fundraiser at any time of the year, but they work best in late Winter when people start thinking about their gardens and landscaping.Getting started Picking the right supplier is key to your fundraising success.

Your Label Says A Lot About Your BusinessA brand is a powerful tool in your hands, a visual image that encapsulates a perceived value associated with your company, product or service by customers and potential customers. As competition intensifies, small business owners are realizing the power of branding through private label as part of an ingenious business strategy. Owning your brand is not only an alluring marketing and sales tool, it makes good small business sense. Wholesalers of private label products offer resellers and diverse others the opportunity to build recognition for their own company and product, as well as develop customer loyalty. With a lead on identity and a secure on loyalty, new and repeat sales are sure to follow, g
An open mind is the first step in people skills. When you listen to people talk you might just be ascending to the next plane. All it takes is respect for others. Nothing nurtures the mind more than an open mind. You will be amazed at the ideas that come into your head when you understand and agree. A frame of mind that accepts is remarkably superior to a negation. The instant you negate the mind gets all blocked up and one could be dwelling on ones own thoughts instead of concentrating on the other person. Accept what the people around you are saying hypothetically and keep up your absorption at the pace of the conversation. However make sure that the person you are talking to is a good person.
Teams and creativity
It is important that one be as creative as possible and not repeat what other people say. Finally no one will respect a yes man who does not seem to give any output. It is important to create output that goes beyond the input. Initially one may draw a blank but as you exercise the mind you end up learning from your experiences and friends and can put down a definite opinion. Let me illustrate with a simple example:

A freelance lifestyle isn’t for everyone. But, if you are dissatisfied with your current career, you might want to try it. Here are some of the pros that work for me in my freelance lifestyle:Flexibility and Autonomy (being in control). I love having the flexibility of doing what I want and need to do, when I want to do it. I can work late into the night, early in the morning, or all afternoon. It is up to me. As part of my schedule, I teach fitness classes most mornings, so work my projects and meetings around those classes. I also like the flexibility that comes with taking on projects that I enjoy, and turning down those that don’t appeal to me.Creativity and Change. By working in a variety of areas and for a variety of clients, I h

Most people want to matter and be part of something special. We spend 2000+ hours at work. This equals approximately 20% of all the hours in a year. We sleep 30-35%. There's 45-50% of the hours in a year left to us to travel, eat, do whatever chores we have, sit in traffic, shower and brush our teeth, clean our houses, set goals, visit family and friends, shop - and whatever else it is you do with your time.Point is, leaders need to be aware that their employees are exchanging 1/5 of their valuable time for something provided through your organization. For some, exchanging time for money is enough, but most require more. Like I said earlier, people want to matter and be part of something special. They want to stretch and be challenged and be a part of something l

Delight = Customer Expectation plus 1. This was the simple formula for delighting your customers that Ken Blanchard informed us of in his book “Raving Fans” For me this is a great formula, but in itself it also raises a number of questions. For example, to deliver a plus one, to exceed something, you must know what that something is in the first place… so do you? Do you know what your customer expectations are at each moment of contact? I am constantly surprised by how many of our clients don’t. They have their own personal opinions of what their customers’ expectations are, they believe they know, but can they show me evidence, no! They perhaps show me a survey they conducted over 10 years ago and say “I’m sure it’s the same now”!If you want a clue

Four people are running a small business. They are working on a business idea. Two are experienced and two inexperienced. Business ideas keep failing they all wonder what to do. They decide take a break and relax before they hit the desk again. As things go, it turns out that the two guys with the greater experience go out to have coffee together often. The other two team up as well. Hence two groups are formed. The inexperienced ones work hard together in the break and become as good as the other two. This time when everyone gets back to work no one is half asleep. The team is highly motivated and the business gets so many solutions and ideas that it is success all the way.
Talk technical
It is easy to understand that you have a job to do. Do that diligently. It may not work. That is because people skills are involved. Let everyone know that you work - especially your boss. In many cases what happens is that you work hard, however when it comes to a conversation or an appraisal you might be at a loss for words. The reason for this being that your unassuming self does not talk business. People around may think you know nothing. So make sure from a leadership perspective that you do some talking. For examp
