Digg it UP - When Is The Best Time TO Take Your Company Public?
The conference room door slid open. I completed a meeting with a potential client. He represented a young financial firm ready to print a new marketing piece. His company wanted to capture more leads and stand out from their competitors.I couldn't agree with him more...Because most of these firms blab about how good they are, what they specialize in, why their goals are important, and include a default menu of all their plans. Their cub copywriters attempt to impress you with their college vocabulary and are involved in a diabolical scheme to control your mind through keyword dumping. If they repeat certain words enough times—it will finally sink in after the twelfth time, a light bulb goes off inside the prospect's head, and then they will take action.That doesn't fly.If I wanted a Pepsi and you kept suggesting Coke—that's not enough to get me to buy a Coke. But if you said FREE Coke, that's different. You've ch

It All Began With RadioBroadcasting was originally developed as a means for companies to sell radios. But once commercial entities realized that many households were listening to their radios a significant amount of time every day, they started to explore this medium as a way to get their message across to the masses. If one has to choose a single event that began the era of radio broadcasting, it would probably be the radio program broadcast by station WEAF in New York City on August 28, 1922 This was a ten-minute advertisement for suburban apartment housing. By Christmas of that year, several major New York department stores joined the fray and were running advertisements for their stores.By the late 20's radio advertising had advanced in a dramatic way. It was now dominated by advertising agencies who took control of the schedules by buying the available air time and selling it to their customers. They also handled t
There is no set amount of revenues or net profit that is required to take your company public, then when is the absolute best time to go public?
The short answer would be when you don’t need to, or your company is not desperately looking for financing in order to survive.
Instead you are looking for capital in order to finance growth and expansion, or you would like to use the public shares as currency to make acquisitions.
But life isn’t always perfect, so we will take a look at a few questions asked by CEO’s that have called me looking to go public.

According to the Society of Human Resource Managers, US, 53% of all job applicants lie to some extent on their resume. What if you have been 'economical with the truth' on your 'home-made' resume/cv and, as a result - have been offered an outrageous salary? It happens!I guess the natural reaction would be to say that being 'Overpaid' is on balance a superior position but in fact, I believe in practice it is almost without exception a damaging situation for all concerned.Imagine you were given a hundred thousand spondulicks rise in pay because the recruiters believed (perhaps from your FAKE resume) that you were fully capable of handling a national emergency. (see Malcolm Brown's outing)At first it would be such a thrill wouldn't it? Especially when you got your first salary cheque and found that you were paying more TAX than you'd ever earned salary in a month. (You could pay off the credit cards with relish. 'Take that

Human Resources gained a permanent role in the American workplace during the 1950s, as the evolution of employment-related laws and sociological trends took shape. However, the past 20 years have witnesses an unprecedented rise of employment litigation, labor regulations, and tax laws far beyond the expectations of their originators.Effectively managing Human Resources has become a daunting and complex task for small to mid-market business owners. U.S. corporations must grapple with one of the most complicated systems of employment laws in the world. This includes a laundry list of unfriendly policies, including laws governing hiring and termination, family leave, sexual harassment, paying employees, leaves of absence, employee benefits, and workers’ compensation. In just the first months of 2007, dozens of laws dealing with every subject from discrimination to wage deductions have been enacted.The risks to companies remain fl

Because prices and even the price of education are rising steadily, most families with average income need to have both parents work to keep up with their lifestyle. One parent of average income working and providing for his family by himself does not bring enough money to the table. So for a family who wants to live comfortably with enough savings, both parents have to work to provide for the whole family. The time will come that work and family will blend. As I look at it, this blurring is brought about by three factors namely; the need of the family to have a decent income to support their families, technology advancement that makes it impossible for parents to enjoy time with their family and a decrease in job security which means that more parents are thinking of starting their own small businesses that, like when working with a company, is dividing the time between work and their families.Although starting their small busin

I am one of the most qualified persons to write on this topic, because I’m exactly 50 and I have a successful career change. Career change after 50 is possible though not easy. However if I can do it, so can you. Don’t expect overnight changes, you do need some preparation work before approaching 50.My name is Anna. I am a headhunter and I offer career change help to my candidates. I have been making good income out of headhunting very senior investment bankers. However towards my late 40’s, I realize I need a middle age career change for myself for two reasons.I want to retire by 55 and I don’t want to exchange money with time for the rest of my life. My job requires me to work round the clock and across different time zones in order to speak with clients/candidates all over the world. This is the life style that I don’t want to continue.Less Work and More Money – Research for Something Risk Free As

I recently had a CEO called me from such a company, the revenues and net profit were identical for the previous five years but robust compare to many of the companies you see going public in the NASDAQ BB and Pink Sheets today.
But I didn’t see any growth in either revenues or net profit nor any indication that there was going to be some in the future, the CEO did not know where future growth would come from.
I told him that if he was just going public so that he could tell friends that he was the CEO of public company then he shouldn’t go public.
But if he could develop a strategy for growth and put together a business plan outlining how he was going to grow revenues and net income, he could become an outstanding candi
