    Measuring Customer Satisfaction Watch Out For... (Part 3 of 3)
    Even the best intentions in measuring customer satisfaction are subject to problems along the way. Temptations to avoid are:Complacency — obtaining feedback is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. You cannot know what your customers want if you only ask them occasionally. Change is certain, and priorities do shift. The most successful companies are those that can detect and respond to customer changes

    Q: I'm thinking about starting a business after I retire next month. I'll be 65. Am I too old to start a business? -- Milton A.

    A: Milton, congratulations on your pending retirement. I find it admirable that after many years of hard work you are thinking about starting a business. While most men your age would be content to sit on the porch and watch the world go by, you are considering a ride on the entrepreneurial roller coaster. You're certainly tall enough to ride this ride, but are you too old?

    Here's my standard answer: It depends. It depends on your health, your energy, your drive, your goals, and of course, your finances. If all those are in good shape and you have your spouse's approval (that's a biggie), then there is absolutely no reason why you should not start a business at your age.

    In fact, the numbers are actually in your favor. According to recent studies 22 percent of men and 14 percent of women over 65 are self-employed. That's compared to just 7 percent for other age groups.

    Protect Yourself Against Bad Interviewers
    The only thing that might be more difficult to deal with than an interviewer who asks tough, probing questions is an interviewer who hasn’t a clue how to interview. You leave the interview feeling as if you ignited no interest, bombed the interview, and surely won’t be asked back. Where was the scintillating conversation? The professional give and take about the industry and your skills?But if you’ve just met the person, how a

    Your Team Members Don't Have To Be Perfect
    I would like to say that, the biggest room in the world is the room for improvement. I believe everyone wants to constantly improve. I believe each one of us is created as perfection; however, the results we create are excellent, so there is lots of room for improvement in what we do. The associates I hired in my bicycle and lawnmower shop like myself, were never perfect; however, they were excellent. Working with them as they improved t

    Sleight of Brand
    You can create great relationships by name dropping. You may say that most people do not like those that are constantly dropping names. If it is done discretely, you will find that it can bring you more business and help to make more business relationships. For example, I had a customer that was struggling with their own identity and wanted to develop their own brand. The problem was that they were doing too many things to concentrate on

    A Workplace Romance Can Be Detrimental to Your Career
    Over 70% of single employees will become romantically involved with someone they work with at some point in their career. The workplace has become the new single’s bar. The workplace has also become the number one place for cheating spouses to meet affair partners and conduct extramarital affairs.Proceed with caution if you’re attracted to someone on your job and are considering engaging in a workplace romance. As tempting as it
    in your favor. According to recent studies 22 percent of men and 14 percent of women over 65 are self-employed. That's compared to just 7 percent for other age groups.

    According to a Vanderbilt University study the number of entrepreneurs age 45 to 64 will grow by 15 million by 2006.

    That's compared to a 4 million decline for entrepreneurs age 25 to 44.

    A 1998 survey of baby boomers conducted by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) revealed that 80 percent of respondants planned to work beyond retirement age, and 17 percent of those planned to launch new businesses.

    The study noted, "Self-employment among American workers increases with age, with the most dramatic jump occurring at age 65."

    Older entrepreneurs may also find starting a business easier than their younger counterparts because older entrepreneurs tend to have more experience to draw from and more assets with which to finance a business.
