Casual Articles - What Does A Website Give You That You Don't Have Already?
In the fitness room the other day, I caught a glimpse of a movie trailer on television. A father spoke very open-heartedly with his son about his work as a fireman. He acknowledged the fear that welled up in him when he looked into a small, dark room filled with life-threatening heat and flames, and described the instinct to run in the opposite direction.He had to pause in a safe hallway and assess the situation, the father explained, consciously remember why he had chosen his work – and why he must go forward into the fire despite his fear. Strange as it may sound, I find creating a culture of inclusion to be a lot like this.People differ i

Franchise business opportunities are expanding rapidly. If you look at the most famous franchise in existence today is the McDonald’s corporation. McDonalds has established itself around the world and is one of the leading business organizations. Opportunities in franchising continue to develop as the franchise industry develops.What is a franchise?Information on the Franchise BusinessA franchise is a mirror image of an original business idea. When a business has become successful the opportunity arises to duplicate the success in other locations. When an individual purchases a franchise opportunity, they are purchasing is the right to repeat the origina
If your customers live and work within a few miles of your brick and mortar business or home based business, you might not need one.
If you don't have any plans to grow your business, you might not need one.
If you're in denial and choose not to see that change is going to occur with or without you, then you might not need one.
If your community is small enough that you know everyone by their first name or can pass through the town in 30 seconds and you have enough business, then you might not need a website.
If you're comfortable where you are and don't want to change anything, maybe you might not need one.
Fact: Change is inevitable. It is the only certainty, besides death, we both know is going to occur.
Fact: The Internet, as a communication media, is here to stay -- at least throughout the next few generations. Yes, it will evolve, just like televisions went from black and white to color, and now to flat screen. Just as dial up went to DSL and now wireless.
Truth: If you aren't spending any money to advertise your business, it’s going to cost you to have a website. How deep depends on your needs, own skills, and the other who’s and what.
The Internet is like yesterday’s yellow pages. The number of households owning a computer isn't tripling every year like it did in previous years, yet the do increase by 80%. More people learn to pay their bills online every year, and postal letters to Aunt Jane fade. Aunt Jane, now 71, took a class at the Senior Center, and hunts and pecks her letters out on a keyboard. Once someone is introduced to how easy it is to use and the amount of information available with a few clicks, there isn't a generation gap or blocks, except a determinate "no" mindset.

I’m about to share with you the common thread that ties together all successful entrepreneurs. This single trait launched the businesses of Microsoft, Intel, Hershey, JP Morgan, Amazon.com, Nike and so many others. It’s not anything you’ll be taught in Business School, it has nothing to do with accounting, and it doesn’t even have anything to do with what you’re selling or how you’re selling it. I’ll sum it up in two words:GET STARTED!That’s it! It’s laughable at first, but the more you think about it, the more it makes sense. It’s the missing “million dollar” idea, hiding in plain sight. We hear variations of this all the time: A journey of a thousa

We’ve all had them, intelligent, talented, and educated employees, who have been assigned certain tasks on which they never take initiative, or never finish – but are always one step away from the great breakthrough that will make all this talk without results pay off.Procrastination is simply continuing to put off doing something, a decision or an activity, for whatever reason. But you may not want to lose that intelligent, talented, and educated employee. People procrastinate for a variety of reasons. On the job, reasons may include any one or combinations of the following:Fear of failing or succeeding. The employee may be concerned wit

Budgets! There I've said it. For some the most hated and feared word in business. But it doesn't have to be that way. As a matter of fact, a well thought out and constructed budget can be the small business owners best friend. After all, a budget is just a laid out plan to produce profits and profits is what we are all after.Instead of feeling overwhelmed by looking at a 13 column budget spreadsheet with rows and rows of expenses, just break it down into it's simplest terms:Revenue - Expenses = ProfitsLooking at it this way, we see there are only two things to control, work on or even worry about, revenue and expenses. The only way to increase profits is to

The No List Virus is spreading rapidly at retail store check out counters across the country. Common responses to customer questions by store clerks are a follow:1. No, you can’t use that coupon. It has expired. 2. No, that item is not on sale. I don’t care what the store flyer says. 3. No, we don’t carry that here. 4. No, we can’t order it for you. 5. No, you can’t order less than a pound. 6. No, the manager is not available. 7. No, you can’t have 2 flavors of ice cream in the small cup. 8. No, I can’t do that. 9. No, I won’t do that. 10. No, you can’t substitute one item for another.My fellow Americans, I beseech you,
We'd like to think the Internet as new, however, it’s now nine years old -- that is for public access. The first few years, a website was for early adapters, forward thinkers, and those that embrace the latest trends or want to keep up with the Jones’. For the wait and seers, those who wait to see how it pans out thinking it’s only a fad like CB radios or mini-skirts, even you are past that opportunity peg on the scale.
I'm sure you have heard the horror stories about spam, privacy invasion, or the spread of pornography. Yes, they are all true, even if the media stretch the truth to its fullest. These aren't new and you aren't going to keep them at bay if you don't have a website. All these were here before the Internet and aren't going to disappear anytime soon. Yes, you will need to take precautions. Not any different than knowing that it’s not safe to put outgoing mail in your mailbox for the mail person to pick up. Note: Rip-off artists can easily pick up the mail, copy your check, and empty your bank account, all before you get out of the shower. Don't be surprised, this happens every day. It’s so old news, that the media doesn't mention it unless the mailboxes blow up.
Similar precautions you already take, like being careful with who you buy from, work with, knowing your vendors, or having insurance policies, to protect your business. You will need to still institute the same foresight.
There are more pros than cons when it comes to having a website. Below is a quick list of some of those truths. But before I present those, let me mention there are three basics to creating a business presence whether handing out flyers, posting ad, or turning on your neon light, or setting up a website, they are: (1) patience, (2) baby steps, and (3) having a plan even if it only includes the first few steps.
Truth: An Internet business presence allow
