The Madness Infecting our LivesIn a 1994 report on the current state of emotional literacy in the U.S., author Daniel Goleman stated:"...in navigating our lives, it is our fears and envies, our rages and depressions, our worries and anxieties that steer us day to day. Even the most academically brilliant among us are vulnerable to being undone by unruly emotions. The price we pay for emotional literacy is in failed marriages and troubled families, in stunted social and work lives, in deteriorating physical health and mental anguish and, as a society, in tragedies such as killings..."That was over 12 years ago. I still see the sam
‘Clippings’, sometimes called ‘Cuttings’ as both names suggest, are simply items cut from books and other printed publications. They can be large or small, or even comprise entire sections of a book linked to a specific theme. They can fetch high prices on eBay as did a 1909 arti
I've spent one third of my working life presenting sales training courses to engineering and scientific companies. 600 times so far.It has surprised me to find that the highly intelligent, well-qualified people that come to my events are ignorant about something which has a direct bearing on how well their organization does.I ask a set of questions to make the point, 'How important do you consider ability in sales and marketing to the success of your company?"The usual responses are, 'Essential / critical / vital etc '. So then I inquire, 'How long did it take you to have the technical knowledge which is necessary to do your job?'.And they reply, 'W
Let me introduce you to just a few of these easy to find items.
Prints
Old prints are valuable collectors' pieces and there's a good income to be made simply from packaging prints neatly and categorizing them according to theme, eBay's best sellers being: animals, sports (especially golf and horse racing), royalty, music hall artists, topographical (named locations) and children.
Advertisements
Advertisements were often hugely ornate, colored or black and white, photographic or artist-drawn. Whatever shape they take, framed and unframed, mounted and unmounted advertisements are very popular on eBay where only recently an advertisement placed by a slave trader in The Memphis Daily Avalanche in 1859 fetched $200.

When it comes to writing brochures for medical products and services, many companies get non-writers involved in the process for the sake of their expertise. Brochures are very costly products for companies: it takes a lot of time, effort, talent, and energy (not to mention money) to produce a decent brochure. But all too often, the end product falls flat. Even worse, the participants in the brochure creation process are at a loss to explain the results. Customers ignore the brochures, and sometimes companies figure the problem is the brochure. It could actually be much, much more simple.Most people think that the obvious reasons are to blame: was the writing bad? Maybe

It is not easy to motivate franchisees in mobile based franchised businesses where the franchisees and there employees are out in the field all day. Many of the franchisees in our company were like that and many were also owner operators, which made monitoring their success even that much more difficult.Many times team members will tell us one thing and then immediately focus their energies in a different direction and then a month later a totally new direction, this is tough for us a we are working on a huge three dimensional chess board situation with environmental stuff, other franchises and their regional accounts, references, labor, etc.Often we would explai

A question that has caused difficulty for many companies which need to recruit a technical sales representative is knowing which is the better choice, a candidate with technical qualifications but little sales experience or an experienced sales person without knowledge of your technical or scientific product.There is not one answer, although if there’s doubt, I’d take a guy who can prove to you that he has produced good sales results elsewhere.Some environments do require sophisticated knowledge of a specialised area of science. For example, one of my clients is a supplier of lasers to university research departments. The technical sales staff there have to int

They can be large or small, or even comprise entire sections of a book linked to a specific theme. They can fetch high prices on eBay as did a 1909 article about the magician Houdini that went for $200 in May 2005 and clippings of Rudolph Valentino fetched $305 at around the same time.
Gifts and Advertising Novelties from Early Publications
Early publications often contained useful free gifts for readers, some of which are profitable collectors' items today. The most common free gifts were advertising inserts and sometimes advertising blotters, rulers, children's painting books and maps. Maps are particularly prolific in older books and are amongst eBay's highest priced items, such as the 1873 Beers Atlas of Maps of Long Island New York which recently fetch over $2,000 and a Mitchell's Map of Missouri and Arkansas found folded inside a tatty old book from 1937 that reached $1702.
Posters
Some early publications, larger ones, had double center page spreads that make great posters and prints. They can fetch bids of $20 and more. As for all publications, learn to specialize, and look for special interest magazines, targeting a specific audience, say dog lovers, train enthusiasts, classic cars, and so on. This way you gain experience about specific subjects and the person to buy from on eBay.
