Good thing I have a mentor who has taught me a lot about these things. My aunt was once an owner and CEO of a successful company that provided medical supplies in the field of cryogenics. I have heard many of her past employees refer to her as the “queen of staff motivation.” Even then, I remembered thinking that I wanted to be thought of in the same way one day. Her methods were simple, direct and effective. For instance, one of her

3. Do you jump into a bath, without testing the water first?
OK – let’s get to the point.
Most sellers on the internet, are in fact – resellers. They try to sell something else that isn’t theirs. They didn’t create it, make it, design it, but they are happy to promote this to others.

Talk to as many consultants as you can before hiring one. Even if you have one person or firm in mind, interview at least a few others as a sort of due diligence. You'll probably find that each interview helps you focus on the issues you're hiring a consult to help resolve.1. Most consultants focus on two areas: cutting costs and raising revenues.

My internal instinct says: If you don't have money coming in—don't go splurging. Sounds rudimentary... wouldn't you agree? Well many of us independent business owners and freelancers have experienced what I call going on frugal phase. You live on the cheap. (If you've never been there, I applaude you.)A trip to Blockbusters becomes more attractive than the theater. A vacation at a local bed and breakfast seems more appealing than a romantic stroll through the Champs ?lys?es with your lover. And you order the two-topping pizza special instead of the Triple Cheese Extra Meat Lovers Combo Delight with extra thick crust. But hold the garlic br

Ask yourself why?
I can tell you that if you take the time to use, test, scrutinise something, become familiar with it, and even find some of the short-comings and perhaps minor mistakes, this process will leave you with a better understanding of the product.
In some cases, you really might not like it at all, and decide it’s not worth your reputation to try to sell it to others.
