Expanding A Mobile Car Wash Business
What is the best time to expand a mobile car wash business? If everything were perfect and you could choose the best time to buy a new mobile car wash rig, you should buy it in April and have it running by the 20th of May. If you have 1.5 times the business of your first unit, then you automatically have enough business for one-half of a second truck, van or trailer unit combination. In June, the seasonal increase would take care of the rest. That is the simplest way. If you buy an additional truck in

Dealing With Poor Performance
If you are a manager or aspiring manager, sooner or later you will be faced with a member of staff who is not performing. The common response is to try and ignore it in the hope that it will go away. The trouble is that you are merely delaying what needs attention. It may well be that you end up being under scrutiny with your superiors wondering if you are really up to the job.At the end of the day good managers and leaders want to deal professionally and compassionately with performance issues.

It's not the first time and it's not the tenth time that people send me email asking how much money I make from the internet.

As much as you hate when people ask how much you make for a living, I hate this question too and seldom entertain this type of emails.

Let me ask you...

Would you believe me if I told you that I make 30 thousand dollars per month or would you settle with me making 10 thousand dollars?

I know the struggles many netpreneurs are having because I was one of them too and I know that they mean to ask a different question.

My guess is that these people want to know how I make it and if they can follow my footsteps, but the problem is much bigger than that. I made my first 9.80 sale after 3 months on the Internet and no one knew about it. Of course I make more now but that is not the whole point here.

If you are starting out, know that you have to make that first $10 before you get to $100 and eventually $1000 or more.

That is the missing point that most of these newbies don't get.

And here is one more...

Small Businesses' Main Problem? They Need More Customers
In September of 2005 our company sponsored a survey of small businesses in the service areas. The purpose of the survey was to ask the business owners, many of them franchise owners, what their significant business hurdles were. The key areas of the survey were customers, growth, technology and research, and employees.There are many things to be learned by studying the results that you can see here, and I hope you'll find them interesting and helpful. It will probably come as no surprise t

Developing Plans
If you've researched your market, thought over the pros and cons of a home-based business, and decided to go ahead, it's time to put together a business plan. Developing a business plan forces you to take an objective and critical look at your business idea. Even more, the finished product is a tool that will help move your business toward success.

Eight Skills of Highly Successful Consultants

This article will start with three overarching skills, then describe five more specific skills to consider in your ongoing development. One way to look at your total skill set as a consultant (internal or external), is to consider your relative strengths in the three major portions of

It was one of those emails again.

I thought I could help and this person could beat the odds.

Well, it turned out that after a nice reply and a small suggestion to start a simple internet business, she did not get back to me already.

Maybe it was my mistake by not lying that I make $150K+ per month and she could get that amount of money by next week. Or, maybe my answer to her email was so simple and basic that it sounded impractical to reach even the first three-figure additional income per month. Maybe I did not give her a magic seed to grow her money tree.

It was sad but I can only help so much.

It's like the old words of wisdom that say...

"The Master appears only when the student is ready".

Maybe she is not ready yet although she knew that she had to do something to get out of her financial problems.

It's the best conclusion that I can make for her.

Now, I hope these lessons will help you or anyone who're just starting out to stop for a while and evaluate yourself.

1. Are you willing to invest your time, your money or your 'self' in order to achieve your goals?
