    The State Of Customer Service Today
    What is customer service? Ask a few people, and each will have their own opinion on what is good customer service. I have come to a define customer service in a very simple way. It is simply a method of showing respect for an individual in which you are in contact, either in person, over the phone, via email, or in your car; you will be in constant contact with people and in my view, all individuals are customers.Sadly enough there are few examples of good customer service out there and it seems that companies do not invest any effort into the cu

    The Benefits of Having a Wall Mounted Smoking Shelter
    Many restaurants can greatly benefit from purchasing a wall mounted smoking shelter since smoking has been banned in public places throughout the United Kingdom. The ban placed in effect in July sends many grumbling customers outdoors to enjoy a cigarette before, during or after their meal. Smokers must stand outside during the cold and rainy months, getting annoyed as they try to enjoy a simple cigarette.Improve your restaurants customer satisfaction and generate more people to your restaurant through the use of a wall mounted smoking shelter.

    Hello Creative Entrepreneurs!

    Thought for the day:

    "It is not easy being an entrepreneur, but it is always rewarding. It takes great discipline, self-motivation, hard work and perseverance to achieve your dream. Never, ever give up! Live, love and fight for YOUR passion!" JJK

    In my seminars and teleseminars I aways encourage my students to ask their most pressing questions. Not only do I love to help them by sharing my knowledge and insights, but I have discovered another secret. The student's questions are really a barometer of what is most important and currently on the minds of today's young entrepreneurs.

    So I chose a few questions from my students to answer and share with you in this article.

    Student Questions:

    ADDA:
    John, I have a problem focusing on ONE thing. I have many projects going on simultaneously, and several part-time creative business ventures. For example, one of my writing projects is a collection of poems from my departed brother. They are completed (long-hand) but need to be put on the computer and edited--and of course, published. I am a single mother and I fantasize that if I had two weeks of complete dedication to these projects, at least one or two would get finished! I need a system of time management. What would you recommend?

    JJK:
    Adda, the reason a project such as completing your collection of poems seems like a daunting task or is so overwhelming is because it’s just sitting there. And yet it is calling your sub-conscious or conscious mind to do something about it. Hire a high-school student for minimum wage, or ask a friend to volunteer one or two hours each day just to get it into the computer. You’ll be surprised how fast it goes. Also, others love to help you--especially if it’s a project of the heart. Give them a name mention in your book for their help.

    A third party also brings a new perspective to a project, or a breath of fresh air that simply inspires you to move forward.

    Or...do it yourself! When I’m at the stage when I know no one can write or edit something but me--when I know it has to come from me--then I discipline myself and set goals. I make a commitment to myself to type just 3 pages a day. I must abide by this, and then 3 pages seem a whole lot less than 300 pages. Tackle it in small steps. You’ll find you will probably exceed 3 pages each day, but you will certainly feel high self-esteem and be proud of yourself because you accomplished your goal of 3pages a day! In no time you will be finished and all the poems will be entered!

    Answer The Most Important Brand Positioning Question First
    Too many companies seek to model themselves after a successful company in their industry, paint a red target on them and say, “Let’s go get ‘em!” Then, the sales and marketing team gets to work, figuring out why the competitor is successful, and even set out to emulate their competitor in the marketplace. I’ve seen it happen. It never ends well, or at least they make very little headway. Usually, they waste much of their marketing budget in the pursuit. Trust me when I say this is no way to begin a successful march toward market leadership.In ord

    How HR Works to Get the Job Done
    Human Resources is just what it says: resources for humans – within the workplace! Its main objective is to meet the organizational needs of the company it represents and the needs of the people hired by that company. In short, it is the hub of the organization serving as a liaison between all concerned. Depending on the size of the company, the HR Department might be called Personnel with a manageable workforce that can be handled by a personnel manager and a small staff. For larger, more complex organizations with hundreds of departments and divisions

    How to Become a Successful Entrepreneur on the Web
    Becoming a successful entrepreneur in the online world is no different than becoming a successful entrepreneur in the brick-and-mortar world. Both tasks require vision, determination, and hard work.The online world of the web offers many exciting opportunities for entrepreneurship because it is fresh, new, and exciting. The cutting edge of development has always been the most fertile ground for growing a new enterprise. In the 1800's, the new frontier was the American west and many fortunes were made there. In the 2000's, the new frontier is t

    Are You Prepared for Change?
    The annual review and analysis of corporate filings for public companies in full swing. Almost invariably, this scrutiny brings with it an outcry concerning the exorbitant levels of executive compensation and the lack of a direct relationship between what some executives made and the financial performance of their companies. In addition to articles that highlight some of the more there are typically investigative reports that identify illegal, or at best, highly questionable activities. Given the propensity of the public and investors to recoil at th

    LANA:

    JJK:
    First of all be THANKFUL that God has blessed you with so much creativity and so many great ideas! Don’t fret about this; put the excess to good advantage. For example, if you have about 10 titles for one book, choose the best one or two, and then use some of the other titles for chapter headings.

    Next: Make a list of your intellectual properties and then prioritize. Take the ones that really stand out or resonate with you, and trust your intuition. Ask an expert in this particular area for advice. Some of the questions to ask are: Which one would have the most impact? Which one can I start now, considering my current financial resources? Which ones are unique? Sometimes an intellectual property can seem to be different from everything else in that category that is on the marketplace, yet it can bear many similarities with products or services that are already being marketed and consumed.

    Finally: Also ask yourself—and this is very important: which ones resonate with the pulse of society or consumers at this time? Timing is everything so chose the one that is HOT now and has the potential to grow exponentially in the coming years!

    DEANNA:
    Can people still steal my idea after the person has signed a non-disclosure form?

    JJK:
    They certainly can! But you have WRITTEN proof that’s dated, that proves the timeline of your idea and when the individual first saw it. If there is a copyright or trademark infringement or suspected infringement, contact a trademark or copyright lawyer immediately.

    I hope this answered some of your questions too!
