Did You Know That You Can't Predict Peaks, Troughs and Pressures?

Leon Noone

There are many theories about management. Few of them are developed by successful, practicing managers. The reality is that no one finds out what day to day management is like until they occupy a management role. Very often new managers discover that their expectations are inaccurate. And it's a lot harder too.

Are You an Optimist or a Pessimist?

Margaret Paul, Ph.D.

Instead of seeing yourself as a victim of circumstances, of your past, of your parents, of events or of luck, why not start to monitor your thoughts and consciously change them from negative to positive? You will likely discover that changing your thoughts changes your feelings and actions, as well as outcomes.

Stop Stressing - Log It and Block It

Larry Tobin

An interesting thing about the human mind is that it tends to work largely on autopilot. Whether it is showering, driving to work or making breakfast, there are large parts of our daily routines that occur without needing much conscious thought. This is a normal, healthy behavior. If we had to stop and consider or manually cause every single action in our lives, we'd be slow moving creatures indeed. That said, there are times that this tendency can give us trouble.

URL Shortening Services Are Holding You Hostage!

Willie Crawford

One of the most useful tools to come along in recent years for online marketers is URL shorteners. There are sites where you can paste a long, ugly URL into a form and the site will give you a much shorter URL to use in your emails, newsletters and promotions. (There are also scripts that you can install on your server, that allow you to generate your own shortened URLs, what I prefer due to the great control it gives you.)

Online Fax - What Is An Online Fax Provider?

Titus Hoskins

How to Get Great Traffic to Your Website

David O'Connell

For Internet marketing there are essentially two major ways of building traffic on a website. There are the free methods that consume time and energy and offer a continuous stream of visitors with little or no upkeep. And there is paid methods such as cost-per-action and cost-per-click advertising that offer ROI based on how much money you are willing to pay per visitor or per lead. Both methods can be profitable.

Advertisement agencies are firms that help you to advertise in a professional and a cost-effective way. Advertising agencies are becoming more popular thanks to the reliability and efficiency of their work.

Make the Most of a Tight Budget One-Person Business

Melissa Brewer

You need to save money. There are only two ways to do this: either increase your income or decrease your expenses. If we could just snap our fingers and make more money, we'd be snapping and dancing all night long. There would be nothing more powerful and optimistic than a group of entrepreneurs filling a dance hall snapping their fingers and swing dancing. It hasn't happened yet.

How Do You Solve Business Problems?

Naz Daud

Running a business creates many problems that are unique to each business. The first step in solving a problem is asking revealing questions and understanding the symptoms. Often in business many managers spend a lot of time dealing with symptoms of a problem while totally ignoring the cause of the symptoms. Attempting to solve only the symptoms while not truly appreciating the core problem can lead to even greater trouble in the long term.

Small Business Owners and Managing Cash Flow

Braxton Heitz

Starting a business is the most stressful undertaking a person could ever attempt to do. Most new business owners fail to understand that running a business is a complex operation that will require the owner/manager to pull many hat tricks to stay afloat. As the stress of the business grows, many new small business owners find themselves completely overwhelmed by the work required to keep their new business afloat.

Internet Marketing Metaphors

Scott Lindsay

The idea of a metaphor has been described as substituting, “One idea or object with another, used to assist expression or understanding.” When applying the idea of metaphors to Internet marketing you need to consider the idea that there are always more uses for your product than you have listed on your website. Encourage consumers to share innovative ideas about how they were able to incorporate your product into everyday life.

The “A” Word: Accountability

Martin Harshberger

As I get more "mature", meaning older, I am able to reflect on things based on experience and historical data. What works and what doesn't. And what it comes down to is there is no silver bullet. Leaders must lead and be accountable if they expect those they are trying to lead to be accountable. That brings us to the title, the “A” word, accountability.

Develop Your Self-Esteem and Reduce Overwhelm

Julie Fuimano, RN, MBA, CSAC

Self-esteem is comprised of the thoughts you have about yourself. It is how you think about you on a daily basis. These thoughts are repetitive, obsessive thoughts, which mean they are the same thoughts you’ve had about yourself for many, many years. This is how your self-esteem is crafted – by thinking certain thoughts about YOU over and over again.
