What Is a Tag Line?A tag line (also known as a “strapline”) is a punchy slogan that follows a logo or company name. For example, Jaguar’s tag line is “Don’t dream it. Drive it.” Or IBM’s “I think, therefore IBM.”The tag line evokes an image of the product or service whenever a person reads or hears it. It helps to establish a brand in a person’s mind.10 Tips
EMPLOYEE MENTALITY
1. Less flexible work hours – You trade hours for dollars. You are also happy working from 8:00 until 4:00. Once 4:00 comes, you are on your own time. What did not get done today at work can wait until tomorrow or may be able to be passed on to the next shift.
2. Accept that you are paid what the employer has decided the job is worth – If the top of the pay scale is $30 000/year, that is all that you can make with
Do you own or run a service business? Are you looking to get more bang for your advertising buck? Have you tried Yellow Pages only to find the cost is outrageous and the competition is fierce and then field half the calls coming in knowing they are merely competitors shopping you? Are you sick and tired of direct mail, newspaper and the local radio stations, which put your business in the middle of the deck, bottom
I have been both an employee and a business owner, and have noticed that business owners and employees have two different ways of thinking. Some of these key differences are explained below, and may help you determine where you fit in.
BUSINESS-OWNER MENTALITY
1. Solve a problem for someone else and create business for yourself – For example, the person who created the automatic car starter that starts your vehicle without having to step outdoors, solved a problem for many people. It has allowed residents of cold climates to start up their vehicles from inside a building, thus allowing the interior of the vehicle to warm up before even getting into the vehicle.
2. Enjoy flexible hours – If you need to, you can adjust your work hours to attend your child's soccer game or school field trip. You may also be able to decide what time of day you work. My girlfriend's husband has his own business from home, and chooses to work in the evenings. This allows him to be home with their children when she is at her job during the day.
3. Realize that retirement is not based on age – In his book entitled "Rich Dad Poor Dad," Robert T. Kiyosaki explains that ability to retire is actually based on your financial situation. And if you have a business that brings in a lot of income, retirement at any age is a real option. So instead of waiting to win the lottery, there are other ways to bring you wealth.
4. View operating expenses as an investment in your future – It is important to remember that "you have to put wood in the stove to get heat." So if you pay to take a course that will bring you more business, then you really cannot look at it as an expense.
5. Accept that income can vary from month to month – You realize that it is the total income at the end of the year that is most important.

It seems that, almost every day, some politician, talk-show host, high-visibility CEO, athlete, or celebrity says something or is caught doing something that is embarrassing, damages their reputation, or can even end a career. I could easily name the names here of people who have found themselves in these difficult circumstances in the past few months but I’d quickly run out of my allotted space for this column and

I shop therefore I am? As Ireland's largest shopping centre opened in Dundrum and consumer spending rocketed across the country, 2005 was a year in which our love affair with brands showed little signs of abating.Whilst H&M, House of Fraser, Harvey Nichols and Starbucks arrived to great fanfare, proving in the early months at least that absence does make the purse and wallet grow fonder, there

Over the past several years the use of web-based collaboration tools, such as web conferencing services and extranets, has grown dramatically in support of the increasing number of work groups with geographically dispersed members.These tools have allowed organizations to tap the resources of employees, consultants and vendors in real-time, regardless of their location.

3. Accept that raises in your salary are not under your control – Therefore, you look forward to the next raise, even if you only get it once per year.
4. Only people ages 50-60 can retire – Some employers have Retirement Plans in place, but you can only get a full pension cheque when your age and years of service at that job equal a predetermined number.
5. You like to know what your cheque is every month – You are not comfortable with cheques that change.
In summary, there are differences in how business owners and employees think. Based on what I have just explained, it can help you decide which category you fall into – business owner or employee.
