    Always Test Before You Invest
    One of the biggest mistakes a business can make is launching a new product without properly testing it. Businesses lose thousands and even millions of dollars every year on products they didn’t test before introducing them to the marketplace.Business owners usually make decisions out of conjecture. New products or services are most often launched for two reasons. First the business owner gets an idea that something would excite his or her customers and just goes with it. Or, second, the business owner finds out about a new concept or idea, and acquires the rights to it without making any effort to predeterm

    Business On Purpose
    One of the mega trends of the 90s is home based small businesses. Millions are finding new levels of independence and freedom from being their own boss. Unfortunately, many new business owners also are finding that working for themselves isn't always as rewarding or fulfilling as it could be. Here's one proven technique for bringing more fun, focus and fulfillment to your work. By the way, it also works if you're employed by someone else.Have your values and vision shape your business. All too often, entrepreneurs are pulled into a new business venture because of the promise or opportunity of large profits.
    Learning - the acquisition of new information or knowledge, and Retention - the ability to capture that information and recall it when wanted or needed, is actually a process that involves five steps:

    First, is Impact. That is, actually receiving the idea in your mind. Impact can be in the form of a word, a visual observation or a concept. It makes no difference. Your mind isn't capable of making a distinction between a visual or an actual experience. Nor is it capable of determining the difference between a conscious or an unconscious impact an idea may have on you. As far as your mind is concerned, those experiences are all the same and your mind will accept them, regardless.

    If information or an experience appears real to your mind, your emotions and nervous system will react as though it were actually real. To illustrate this point, try this simple experiment:

    * Seat yourself in a comfortable chair, feet flat on the floor and your hands resting comfortably in your lap.

    * Close your eyes, take a deep breath, let it out slowly and relax. Take another one. Let it out slowly. Relax even more.

    * Picture in your mind, a lemon resting on a table in front of you. Visualize it. See it clearly. Look at it's shape - it's color - it's texture.

    * Now, mentally reach out with your hand and pick up the lemon. Bring it up to your face. Look at it closely. Squeeze it. Do you notice how firm it feels? Feel the texture of the lemon's dimply and waxy skin. Notice the lemon's yellow color and round shape, with its pointy ends.

    Back To Square One!
    If you look, see, hear and think you will learn.Sounds obvious but how many do it? I am a self confessed infoholic. My addiction is information on topics that interest me; world affairs/politics, business and sport. I am interested in ‘cause and effect’ so the net result is I read a lot.Not just novels like most people but what interests me. It’s amazing what you see, what it means and what you learn.Recently I came across two short articles in the same journal on facing pages and they said so much about why people fail in business and yet, do people ever learn?One article gave statisti

    Paper Or Plastic? Reusable Tote Bags Will Advertise Your Business
    As a food retailer, do you provide shopping bags to your customers? Is your company inadvertently contributing to the litter problem in the United States? Over the last twenty years, plastic or polyethylene shopping bags have become very common in the United States. Although they require less energy to produce and they generate less solid waste than paper bags, plastic shopping bags are petroleum based and can take up to 1,000 years to decompose. While customers often reuse plastic shopping bags for carrying lunch or picking up animal waste, the main problem is their ultimate disposal in land fills or as li

    What Do I Need To Consider Before Selling My Business?
    The process of selling a business is not as straight-forward as you may imagine, especially if you are looking to get the best possible price. Your business may have been set up in a formal and structured way; this will be far more attractive to any potential purchaser more than one which is run in a more 'personal’ way.The best time to implement these structures and procedures in place is when the business is first set up - of course, you can always modify them as the business develops and grows but spending time on this area at the start will pay huge dividends in the future.One of the main problem

    * Now, mentally reach out with your hand and pick up the lemon. Bring it up to your face. Look at it closely. Squeeze it. Do you notice how firm it feels? Feel the texture of the lemon's dimply and waxy skin. Notice the lemon's yellow color and round shape, with its pointy ends.

    * Now, hold it up to your nose. Smell it. Do you notice the lemon's citrusy smell?

    * Place the lemon on the table and mentally pick up a knife that's laying nearby. Cut the lemon in two.

    * Pick up one half of the lemon and see the juice dripping from it. Bring the lemon up to your nose. Smell it again. Now bite into the lemon.

    What's happening to you right now? Is saliva flooding your mouth, both in your mind, as well as physically?

    Consider what just happened. In actuality, there was no lemon. You just pictured one in your mind. While this was just a mental exercise, and the lemon was just imagined, chances are, if you are like most people the mental image you were playing on the screen of your mind triggered certain responses which manifested themselves physically. This simple demonstration demonstrates that Impact is a critical step involved in the process of learning and retention.

    The second step is Repetition. One university study revealed that an idea that was read or heard only one time was 66% forgotten within 24 hours. But if that same idea was read or heard repeatedly for 8 days, up to 90% of it could be retained at the end of the eight days.
