5 Unique Careers for Unique People
Okay, so you’re the type of person who shudders at the thought of working behind a desk in a traditional job. You want something fun. Something different. Something unique. The trouble is, you’re not sure what that is. You know what you like to do. But, you can’t get paid to do something you like to do. Right? Actually, you can, if you just think a little outside the box and think creatively.The truth is, there are interesting ways to make money and do the things you like. Think of all the dog-lovers out there who have their own dog walking a

of 20% compounded annual growth -- out of internally generated profits. WOW! Quite an accomplishment, wouldn’t you say? Let me give you a couple of other examples of how this owner’s passion for success has resulted in so many achievements.

1. Each of the years I have worked with this entrepreneur, he has asked me to recommend several businesses in his industry that I believe do an overall better job than he does. He runs such a good operation that this was always a tough assignment, but he always budgeted the travel time to gain exposure to highly profitable businesses. “I want to visit operations that can teach me a better and more profitable way to service our customers,” he will always say.

Taking a Prototype Personal Tech Product to The Next Step
Recently an entrepreneur had considered the possibility of taking a new type of jogging light, which would not need a battery from concept to market. The product made sense because everyone who walks or jogs at night would love to have one and it has applications for security professionals, neighborhood watch groups, space and probably even military. The entrepreneur was a salesman in a large corporation. He was determined to sell the product via TV Infomercial. Of course in reviewing this I had some comments;“. . .Sales experience is important indeed

Business owners and managers are busier than ever. As their businesses grow and become more complex, they find that they don’t have the time to be all things to all people. In the early stages of a business, the owner or manager waits on customers, does the buying, collects past due accounts, supervises just about everyone on staff and may even stay late to stuff the monthly statements.

At each stage of business growth, managers must muster the discipline to delegate more and personally perform fewer and fewer job functions to give them time to think and plan. This is not easy. After all, the business is their baby. They oftentimes gave birth to it and have nurtured it to this point, so trusting someone else to assume accountability for key jobs can often feel somewhat like separation anxiety.

The problem in life is that it’s too short to be good at a lot of different things. How many things can you be really good at? If you’re great at sales, odds are you are not terrific at collecting. If you’re entrepreneurial, odds are that you’re not attentive enough to detail to be really good at administrative tasks. And so on.

An observation I have made from performing over a hundred consulting assignments is that most owners, managers and salespeople are quite good at the things that they’re the most passionate about.

If managers are passionate about profitability, I’ve noticed that they almost always generate a top-notch bottom line.

If salespeople are passionate about new business, they bring a lot of new accounts. Or if they are passionate about producing above average gross margins, they find a way to effectively deal with pricing issues.

When executives and salespeople are passionate about golf, skiing, tennis, travel, community or church-related activities, then they tend to excel in those areas, and sometimes to the detriment of their accountabilities on the job.

If you are serious about excelling at something — at anything -- the main question you need to ask yourself is: “Where does my passion lie?”

I have one client whom I especially admire. He is extremely passionate about two things: his business and his family. He spends the great majority of his waking hours dedicated to these two passions.

Like many owners and general managers, he often puts in ten-to-twelve-hour days. But he rarely misses any of his kid’s activities. Whenever possible, he manages his business appointments around his family and their needs. On several occasions, I’ve heard him make appointments around hockey games, school plays, Little League baseball games, etc.

But when it comes to business, he is incredibly passionate about earning a satisfactory return on his investment. To show you just how profitable he has been, over the past five years he has funded the assets required to support a substantial sales increase -- well in excess of 20% compounded annual growth -- out of internally generated profits. WOW! Quite an accomplishment, wouldn’t you say? Let me give you a couple of other examples of how this owner’s passion for success has resulted in so many achievements.

Business Basics - How To Develop A Successful Business
The word business used to drive fear into my heart. It seemed like such an overwhelming and complicated process, that required years of study to understand its full implications. As I have grown up, I have come to develop a different understanding of the word business. To me, business basically means giving people what they want, and charging them for it in some way. In this article, I'm going to shed light on what the word business is really about, and what it takes to develop a successful and profitable business.What Is A Business?A bu

Franchising Companies; Franchise Selection Committee and Candidate Profile Forms
Franchising companies must be very careful to only allow top-notch individuals to become franchisees because that is the only way to have high performance team members. How can you ensure that you'll only have the best of the best? This is where you need to take a systematic approach to the candidate profile application forms.It is much the same as a human resource director would look at an employee r?sum? and application form only it is so much more important that I recommend that the franchising company go one step beyond.

I Bought Rich Dad, Poor Dad
I’m typically the type of person who doesn’t buy into get rich quick schemes or advice.I’m a divorced mom of 3, and in my search for a way to become financially independent, I stumbled onto the Rich Dad series of books by Robert Kiyosaki. I was pulled in partially by the fact that he tells us in the books, that he and his wife Kim, lived out of their vehicle for a period of time before they made their wealth.Mr. Kiyosaki also tells us that living in their car, was their choice rather than a necessity. They lived out of their car, because they w

Pick One
Pick one thing, one focus for this year. That’s right – one. I’ve never been fond of new year’s resolutions, for all the reasons most observers report. However, I am completely in favor of identifying a theme for the year. The theme is a guide for decisions you make throughout the year. It’s not a way to stifle you or shut you down.Some themes for your business could be one specific topic among many areas of your expertise. Or your theme might be product development or approaching a specific new audience or traveling more for business or staying withi

2. One year, he told me that he thought he could benefit from gaining more exposure to businesses outside our industry. I recommended that he join a local TEC (The Executive Committee) chapter. He allocates one day each month to meet with his TEC group. Then last year, he joined Young Presidents Organization (YPO) to even further expand his exposure.

3. A couple of years ago, he invested in a right hand man to take over the operations end of his business so he could concentrate on another of his passions — sales. While he would admit that he found it difficult to relinquish control over operations, he knew that his business could not continue to grow if he resisted delegating authority.

The moral of this story is to concentrate on doing primarily what you love to do — which is usually what you do best — and delegate the rest.
