I'm going to be blunt here. I dislike the term "employees." I would even go so far as to say I hate it. The term employees implies a corporate structure. That of a boss, supervisors, etc. And while a lot of the same responsibilities that come with those positions may fall to you, for maximum success you want to build a good solid support team. Like the old saying goes,...

This is a subject we've touched on multiple times on this blog. The reason for that is because it is of the utmost importance in all facets of life, not just business. We've talked about how to properly make a good first impression, telling the difference between confidence and cockiness, communicating effectively via social networking, the importance of communicating over marketing, and so many others. It wouldn't be too much...

It is the tendency of far too many people out there to over-analyze things. An idea is put forth, and we immediately run over the possible variables and outcomes in our heads. This is without a doubt an important step in making a decision on whether or not to pursue a business venture, but it is by no means the first step you should make. After all, figuring out the best way...

It's been a while since I've started a post with this, so here's one for nostalgia's sake. There's an old saying that goes "think outside the box." You'll hear this one a lot in life. Work, school, social interactions, this particular phrase pops up literally everywhere. I'm sure I've even said it on this blog once or twice before really giving it some serious thought. And after doing so, I've...

Over the years, I've built several programs and business platforms, many of which have gone on to become big successes. I've helped hundreds of thousands of people build their own businesses, and those folks have earned over half a billion dollars in combined revenue. When it comes to network marketing, I'm known for these successes for a reason. Well let me tell you, the project I've been building recently is...

Now that Canada and the US are finished with their respective national celebrations, it's time for us to get back on track. So let's not waste any time and get to it, shall we? In a previous post, we talked about social networking for the self-employed, and how it can be a huge boon to your business. Today we're going to extrapolate on that a little further, and show you...

First of all, let us start off by saying a very happy Independence Day to all of our American friends and readers out there! Hopefully you're all out enjoying the fine July weather, a barbecue, and some of the excellent fireworks that we discussed on Monday (and hopefully learning a lesson or two from them, even if the concept is a bit out there). For those of you that have taken...

It’s no hardship to say something like “it is important to be honest when dealing with your customers and clients.” That’s not a controversial statement because it is, of course, quite true – other than shady businesses that deal in deception, like card sharks or Wall Street bankers, most of the best business opportunities arise from referrals and repeat customers, of which you will receive zero if you begin treating...

I'm not a writer, per se. Sure, I do a lot of writing (and communicating in general), but my real passions are business and helping people. Writing is one of the tools in my toolbox to help me achieve the ambitions that flow from those passions. One of the things I've learned from writing, however, has  stood me in good stead in all of my ventures. I call it the...

Last week I spoke about holidays, and the importance of taking the time to enjoy them as your 9-5 brothers and sisters do.  This week, both Canada and the United States celebrate the birth of our respective countries. And to quote a popular television series, "what better way to celebrate the birth of your country than by blowing up a small part of it." This of course means fireworks, which...
