The Entrepreneurial Difference
Who would ever have imagined that going door-to-door in my neighborhood selling figs from a bright orange shopping cart would have been my entrepreneurial beginnings? I surely did not. But, now that I look back and also look around me at other business owners, I see clearly that so many of the traits common to entrepreneurs are present at a very early age.Think about your own childhood and youth. Did you sell lemonade in the front yard? Rake leaves or shovel snow for a few extra bucks from neighbors? A lot of us did.Unfortunately, the drive and ambition associated with those youthful undertakings are often not developed or encouraged by our school systems, parents, and society as a whole.For generations, people were raised to think that success required doing well in school, going to college, and pursuing a career with intentions of making a long-term commitment to a company. We see this in the older ranks of the baby boomer generation and our parents. Did your parents work for an employer for 20-plus years, whether they were happy and fulfilled or not?Work often overshadowed any urge to go the independent route, since society often frowned at mavericks who followed their own path. Compound that negative stigma from a by-gone era with the fact that the 40-hour per week commitment to one’s employer left little time to even turn a hobby into a part-time business or to express the entrepreneurial creat

Materialize Your Entrepreneurial Dream With Proper Funding Avenues
Raising money is often a difficult task if you're starting your own business, but it needn't be that grueling so long as you ensure that the fundamentals are in place. It's inevitable that you'll need some financial assistance at one time or another. It may be that you need a loan to get your business enterprise off the ground, or an overdraft to see you through the first few months of trading. As a consequence, small business growth and the entrepreneurs behind it rely upon supports from all sectors of society, public, private and voluntary.The definition of what constitutes a small or medium business will depend on the purpose for which the definition is required. Small business may be thought of as having a financial growth cycle in which financial needs and options change as the business grows, gains further experience, and becomes less dependent on other sources. So small business financing requires sophisticated care and concern for long-term profit considering the importance of small business in the whole national economy.Over the past few decades, small businesses have increasingly been recognized as the major driver behind economic growth in many developed nations. Small firms exist and dominate in almost every sector. Given these economic changes, the importance of entrepreneurship and small business is greater than ever. The future of business in many advance countries lies in self-reliance and fl

Follow-Up Letter and More to Increase Sales
A television commercial in the United States of the last two years plays on a man’s craving for Dorito’s chips. He goes back and forth between his apartment and a neighbor’s who happens to have a bag of Doritos. He uses one lame excuse followed by another to get the resident to open the apartment door so he can grab a chip each. Finally, in a last follow-up he grabs the entire bag.In sales, whether short or long term, follow-up is critical for results. The preferred follow-up to a customer is the type that we call a “valid business reason.” Without a reason, the process is as lame as the chip grabber. Whether your marketing is face to face or on the internet, your follow-up can influence your customer to buy or not to buy. Here are some ideas you want to consider for increased sales results.A thank you note. It’s professional courtesy as well as a gesture of caring. If appropriate to your context, handwritten is best. If email, at the least personalize it with a person’s name. This is particularly important today with what Tom Peters’ once name “high tech and low touch.”Discover their interests. With your needs assessment and rapport building, it’s likely you have found a personal interest or hobby. You can send an article or refer to a book that relates to this area.If you promised to send any literature, send it. The more timely the better the impression of your reliability.

Competition in the News Creates Spin
In larger cities with many outlets they are competing for more news that other outlets cannot get as fast. “THE SCOOP” and also the spin, this spin thing is so that articles can cater to the readership or so they say. I have found that many reporters including at the Wall Street Journal, Business Week, Christian Science Monitor, etc completely spin articles. How would I know this? Well I have my sources and I will not tell you!!! Just kidding, thought you might want to hear that excuse one more time.http://www.carwashguys.com/innews.htmlPlaces where you would think that they are very impartial, will spin a story to fit their topic. For a company PR department they say most all news is good news and not to worry. Yet the other point is that if the story is too slanted it is not real. The reason I mention this is because after giving hundreds and hundreds of interviews in my life, I can say not one grasped the topic of conversation and all took quotes out of context, inadvertently misrepresented an event or spun a story to fit their needs of personal opinion or even worse were on their little time line deadline and left out pertinent information. I realize this has been going on for decades;http://www.carwashguys.com/history/museum1.shtmlIn my personal experience and probably since story telling came to terms with the printing press and newspapers were born. In my company we did not have a PR firm, just

Mythbusters: Hard Work Always Pays Off
“Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man, healthy, wealthy and wise.” – 15th Century quote, author, unknownAt least, that was the theory. I suppose it carried forward to the pre-industrial era where, as an agrarian society, one had to plant, cultivate, and harvest to survive. Early rising as the cock crowed, was the picture painted by many writers. Back then, one worked in the fields until sundown, only to repeat the process the following day. Except for the Sabbath, one could continue to work in this manner from the time one was able. That meant the relatively young and elderly, as well. As we transformed with the Industrial Revolution, machinery like the combine, began to take over the manual labor and allow us to concentrate on more productive ventures. We could manipulate the environment and natural resources to aid us in our quest for self-sufficiency.Today, the hard work ethic, is still propagated by many. “The early bird catches the worm,” also comes to mind. So you get a jump on the business day, sell the products or services, run the store, or bag those groceries. You put in the hard work and time and reap the rewards. It makes complete sense. Or does it? What if I told you that I know a person who makes $300 a month by doing absolutely nothing? I lied, because he also makes $4000 a month. Let me explain.He received $100,000 in a business deal, stuck it in a bank CD (certificate of deposit) and gets guar
