    The Fundamentals of Venture Capitalism
    Venture capitalism is a system wherein a venture capitalist invests money in small and fledgling companies to finance its start up or restructuring with the hopes of greater yield in the years to come. Instead of providing a loan, venture capitalists exchange their investments for a stake in the company often in the form of shares, which they will later unload.Often, venture capitalists target companies with innovative products and services, which they feel have the potential to become successful brands in the years to come. Other times, people with ideas for products and services seek venture capitalists with the hope of being provided with start-up funds.

      Never a Diva
      On NPR radio's "Fresh Air" program, they did a tribute to Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, the famous mezzo-soprano who died recently at age 52 after a long illness. Lloyd Schwartz said of her, "She went from triumph to triumph, yet never became a Diva, never lost her sense of purpose, or her sense of humor about herself." In the world of opera where everyone wants to play the starring role, to be the Diva, she remained modest, true to herself and her art.Modesty is an underrated business trait. When our egos get in the way, we lose touch with the deepest part of ourselves and we no longer communicate with customers in a true sense of partnership and friendship. For me, the spark of satisfaction is a deep, resounding "click" inside me when I've done good work. When ego arises, I'm no longer listening to my inner self or to others; I'm only listening to my emotiona

The general focus has been, for the most part, on marketing your business, attracting, serving, and keeping customers; all in the name of increasing revenues. True, an effective internet strategy brings in eager customers from far, and increasingly, near but a study done by a major research firm in the United States a few years ago found that typically it takes 8 dollars in revenues to have the same effect on a company’s bottom line as just 1 dollar in cost savings.

        How Will I Know Whether A Content Management System Will Benefit Me?

        Various "symptoms" suggest that you will benefit from using a CMS:

        • Do you regularly ask your web designer to update text / images on your website?
        • Are you reliant on your web designer to keep your website in sync with activities elsewhere in your business, such as new product launches, price changes or marketing campaigns?
        • Do you find that the cost of paying your website designer to maintain your website is getting too high?
        • Are you frustrated that some of the content on your website is out-of-date or inaccurate?
        • Do you ever miss business opportunities by not being able to add timely or topical content in response to changes in your market?
        If you answer "Yes" to one or more of these questions, you should use a CMS to update your website.

        What Are The Business Benefits Of A Content Management System?

        You will benefit by implementing a CMS for a number of reasons:

        Lower website maintenance costs
        The immediate benefit is financial. Updating your own website, rather than paying a website designer to make changes on your behalf, will save you money.

        Using a CMS usually incurs a fixed charge which does not vary with the number of changes you make. Therefore, the more you use your CMS, the lower the "per change" cost. When a website designer makes changes on your behalf, they will charge for each change and so the "per change" cost is never reduced.
