Being your Own Boss
If you are looking for a new job, you might be considering self-employment. This is a growing option in the past decade. Companies are much more willing to hire outside consultants and advisors, because it is often easier for them than having you on their payroll. Before you launch yourself into a new business venture, there are a few things to consider.The major difference between being self-employed and working for someone else i

Strategies on Brand Building by Top Brand Gurus
1. The fundamental law of Marketing is the Law of Leadership. It is better to be first than to be better. Microsoft launched in ’81 while Apple launched in ’84.

The best voted Marketing book in America is titled “Simply Better”.3. If first is perceived to be th

Recruiting, retained or contingency, involves (or should, anyway) directly approaching individuals who, based on their title or position, might well have the experience to handle the job description and position for which the client is seeking someone. The individuals who are approached, of course, are usually currently employed at one of the client's competitors.

If that individual is you, what would you do? What would you do when a recruiter calls and briefly outlines an opportunity with an unnamed company? Obviously if you're unhappy where you are and the opportunity sounds interesting, you're going to bite. But I'm not talking about that scenario. I'm talking about the response when you ARE happy where you are. Because there's a smart way to respond and a not-so-smart way to respond. And either choice impacts your career far more than you'd think it does!

So there you are, sitting at your desk working on an important project, when the phone rings. And you pick it up. It's a recruiter, who introduces himself, his firm, and asks if you have a minute. What do you say? "Thanks for calling, but I'm happy where I am." And hang up the phone? WRONG ANSWER!!!!

Hate Your Job? What to Do, What Not to Do

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the wrong job, you know that the misery of it permeates your whole life, not just your working hours. Being unhappy at work can take its toll on your health, your relationships, and your future.When you complain or try to improve things at work, you might even ge

You've just made the decision to limit your options. And if you don't have access to information, you can't make an informed decision, can you?

What should you do instead? No matter how happy you are with your current company, listen to what the recruiter has to say. You have a far better chance of leveraging your career when a recruiter calls you rather than when (and if) you contact a recruiter.

There are people who are truly happy with their current position and not interested in currently making a change, regardless of the opportunity presented to them at that moment. But you listen anyway, not to change, but to develop a relationship and keep yourself informed and in control for you when you do need to change.

A friend of mine went with a company that had statewide offices. She began in their corporate office right out of college. Over the years, she obtained her MBA and continued to rise through the ranks. For TWENTY-FIVE years she was with this company.....until she was laid off a few months ago. She hadn't seen it coming. And she freaked out.

If YOU aren't in control of your career, then your company IS. Corporate restructuring, layoffs and downsizing are taking place with alarming frequency as co

Many industry sectors have abatement professionals and consultants and there are even trade journals specializing in these things. Unfortunately the greatest abatement consultants are so busy that they generally cannot even return phone calls as they travel the world putting out fires and handling crisis management.

Most B2B businesses are Sales oriented. This makes them PUSH oriented. But PUSH is not enough. They also need PULL. PULL means generating prospect attraction for the businesses' products and/or services. It's like harnessing a FREE energy source already existing out there in the market to support your PUSH effort.
