  • Planning To Succeed As An Internet Marketer?
    By: Gary McGeown | - Having a plan of action can sometimes be one of the critical differences between a successful and failed internet marketer.

    A plan doesn't have to be a detailed, intricate masterpiece. It just has to show you what your end goal is and the basic steps to get you there. Just by having a business plan alone, you are elevating yourself into a better position to succeed.

    Having a business plan is a great method of creating your own success but it isn't much good unless ...

  • Aim To Over-fill Your Retirement
    By: Tracey Fieber | - Too many people have an up-and-down flow of friends, especially successful entrepreneurs and professionals. Some months they have almost too many things to do, places to go, and people to see, and are WAY too busy, and other months, they're feeling like famine, wishing they had people to do things with. I've been there in the past, and there's nothing worse than experiencing those two extremes on a regular basis. It'll make you want to go back to a regular job for good, just for the consistent c ...

  • Solopreneurs: Use Daily Action For Momentum And Meaning
    By: Suzanne Evans MA, ACC | - People often ask me, "What's the most important piece of advice you would give to entrepreneurs starting a business or growing an existing business?" My response is always the same: take action every single day.

    Sometimes it's big action and sometimes it's little action. That's not what's important. It's that you're working on it in some capacity every day, and even on the bad days.

    We all have bad days the days you wake up and go, "I don't know what I can do toda ...

  • Have You Bought Into The Myths Of Owning A Home Business?
    By: David Lazear | - More than 600 people get started in a home business every single day. Close to 95% of them quit within the first 2-3 months.

    Why is this? At least part of the reason is that once all the excitement and hype surrounding getting started dies down, they are left with the cold hard work it takes to build a business.

    Often they have bought the myths perpetuated by the home business industry and that are part of popular culture. Very early they begin to discover the "re ...

  • Small Business Marketing A Different Look At Understanding Your Niche
    By: Suzanne Evans MA, ACC | - You typically hear in many marketing circles that the first thing you need to do is identify your niche. This terminology of a niche doesnt work for me because it feels very much like, Find a group of people to sell to. Ive found that a better way to identify these people is to ask, Who needs me most? We all have a gift to share, so ask yourself Who needs me and my gift the most?

  • Winning Is Not Quitting: 5 Things You Can Do Today To Be A Winner In This Recession
    By: Mark Workman | - These days, most of my phone calls focus on survival and encouragement.

  • Entrepreneurialism - The Reality Of Following Your Dream
    By: nazir 4 | - Entrepreneurialism can sound a frightening word (and that's not just getting the spelling right!) The trouble is that many people assume that entrepreneurs are go-getters of the modern world, the high flying successes with bank balances bursting at the seams, and the Midas touch that turns ideas into gold overnight; they're the people whose bank managers call them up asking for a loan.

    The truth is very different. Ask any entrepreneur and they'll gladly put you right, and assure y ...

  • Telling The Truth And Long Term Customer Loyalty
    By: Mark Workman | - Truthfulness is a difficult subject in a culture where standards are falling fast. Being truthful is almost a weakness in the business world, seen as clinging to old school approach to life and business.

Blind ambition would define success by the results only, never considering the means that achieved the goal. We are a results oriented culture, willing to justi ...

I was applying to programs, but I quickly learned that that was a terrible mistake not because someone shouldn't be a psychologist, but I would not be a great psychologist.

    When I told my friends that I realized that being a therapist was not for me, a couple of them actually went, "Thank God!" That was definitely a sig ...

    By: David Mickelson | - The most important and absolutely critical element in starting a business is to be productive. "Are you kidding?" you're probably saying, "That's it. That's all you got for me." Well not exactly, let me elaborate.

    We all love to feel productive. Our culture is based on hard work and getting things done - anything short is unsettling. Even watching T.V. we like to feel as if we have accomplished something. I believe this is one of the reasons the Discovery channel is so succ ...

  • Top Pre-school Cartoons And Their X Factors
    By: Aldric Chang | - Cartoons have always been about children and one of the most dedicated niches of animation to target this substantial demographic are pre-school cartoons. By niche, it means these cartoons are really catered to young minds' sensibilities. So don't go blurting out that a pre-school cartoon sucks if it does not measure up to your standards as a knowing individual. Of course, they are created for children.

    But just because they are created for children, that doesn't mean the potenti ...

    By: marcashton | - One of the things I have learnt as I've gone along is how important "image" or "perception" is when marketing your company... and no this doesn't mean larny cars and fancy buildings.

    To try and put "perception" into context though I'm going to try draw parallels between life experiences and marketing a business.
