Startup Ideas That Don't Make the Mark
Recently, we have been receiving a lot of applications for the funding commissioned by MDA. There are good and bad ideas. Of course, some of them will be getting “No, I am sorry to inform you that….” from us. it should not mean to you that it is the end of the road if we don’t fund you. If you believe in your idea so much, you should continue the search for funding. Even better, try to do a startup without funding, like some of our resident contributors, Cobalt Paladin, Design Sojourn, Weichang, Der Shing and myself have done. Through a few correspondences and meeting some self-proclaimed and crappy “entrepreneurs”, I have set up a list of reasons why they don’t make the mark. I have also placed some notes in this post to tell people what kind of entries will end up in our rubbish bin. Here are three reasons why we are ready to reject them.1. One man show is bound to fail.Despite how much we tell everyone that a team is important, some Singaporeans are still doing that. Usually when an entrepreneur tells me that he runs a one man show, three possibilities come to my mind: (i) he cannot inspire people to work with him, (ii)

Have you heard of Kaizen?
Kaizen is a Japanese word which basically means 'continuous and incremental improvement'. The word came from when the Japanese were introduced to the work of W. Edward Deming when he was stationed in Japan to help them rebuild after World War II. While there, Deming introduced them to what later became know as Total Quality Management.
What I like about Kaizen is that it takes small action steps over time to solve problems. The beauty of this approach is that you can take something that currently seems daunting or puts you in overwhelm and start by only focusing on one small step that you can take to help improve the problem. The small step is so easy that you bypass your overwhelm and fears and just do that one small step. Then after a little while you introduce another small step and continuously improve the situation or problem until it is solved.
So in this way you CAN take action, even if it is very smal
Is Your Business Benefiting From The Export Trading Company Act Of 1982?
The advantages of exporting are clear. Increased exports greatly benefit a country’s economy, because they create jobs, stimulate economic growth, bring in tax revenues, and enable domestic industries to compete in international markets. Firms that export can grow faster, because they can utilize idle capacity, reduce dependence on domestic markets, increase product lifecycles, and simply make more money.Previously, the vast U.S. domestic market usually provided American companies ample opportunities to grow and remain profitable. Now, domestic market saturation and increased international competition are taking their toll, leaving U.S. companies with tighter margins and little room for growth. This forces many businesses to look to international markets for new opportunities.The U.S. government has recognized the significance of increased exports for the overall health of our economy and has created a sizable infrastructure of export assistance programs to help U.S. companies to export successfully. One of the highlights of these efforts is the Export Trading Company Act of 1982 (“ETC Act”).The ETC Act was modeled aft
First, some background on today's topic. I've had a terrible week. Not
terrible as in I got nothing done because I did actually get quite a bit done.The advantages of exporting are clear.

But man, I struggled. And I didn't even really understand why.
I have to admit, most of what I got done happened between Thursday and Sunday.
Have you ever had a week like that where you struggled to get things done?
Or worse yet, struggled and didn't get anything done? Or maybe it just FELT LIKE you didn't accomplish anything?
I hate weeks like that and I rarely feel that way. So why was this week different? At first, I couldn't put my finger on anything specific. Looking back and replaying my week in my mind didn't cause anything to stand out either. In short, nothing really clicked as the cause for the way I was feeling and acting.
So then I decided to do what I always do when I am trying to solve a problem. I just kinda let it go for a while and did something else.
And THEN, I finally figured out what the problem was!
It wasn't anything specific about THIS week. It was related to something I had done several weeks ago. And it's very ironic that this was the cause of my problem.
You see, several weeks ago I had drafted my 90 marketing plan. This document describes what I plan to do in my Big Ticket Marketing efforts over a 3 month period.
It's actually not that hard to figure out but it is something that you need to track closely and see which weeks of marketing effort have the biggest payoff. In other words, you want to track which things you did that resulted in the biggest payoff in sales, opt-ins by potential customers, joint ventures, branding, etc.
Basically all the stuff we need to do to as part of our Big Ticket Marketing efforts. We want to repeat those things that give us the largest payoff in our next 3 month marketing plans and drop those things that didn't work out. And of course we always try new things that we think will work, as well.
Anyway, the reason that I was struggling and feeling like I wasn't accomplishing this week was because...
I was in OVERWHELM!
I had a lot of tasks I wanted to accomplish, because I'm an ambitious guy. I want to do well and I have a lot of goals I want to reach. This is all fine, but the point of having a 90 day marketing plan is so that it will be easy to focus on the specific set of tasks that I need to accomplish each week by focusing on ONLY ONE main area each week.
And normally, this system is very effective at keeping me focused. But, ironically, the act of creating the 90 day marketing plan made me look at everything I had to accomplish in the next 3 months and I was sort of stuck in that mode. I wasn't being effective at focusing on this weeks tasks because I was in OVERWHELM thinking about everything I had to get done, overall.
Have you ever experienced that?
I think we all have at one point or another.
However, I am disappointed that I didn't recognize what was going on sooner. My background as a software engineer for Microsoft forced me to be pretty disciplined about focusing on what I needed to do and what our team needed to do every week to accomplish our goals. And sometimes the ship cycles lasted between 1.5 to 2 years.
Plus I have a black belt in Hapkido (a Korean martial art like a cross between Tae Kwon Do and Aikido), which requires a lot of training discipline, patience, practice and long term view. But at the same time requires you to learn and work on smaller portions of the entire body of techniques, patterns, because that is the only way you can really learn what you need to know.
Anyway, my point is that I should know better and yet I still fell into the fear from OVERWHELM. And I think everyone experiences not only overwhelm but other fears about what they want to do as well.
The title of this article promised you a simple secret to keep your fears from holding you back - from selling Big Ticket Items. Can you guess what the secret is?
I'll give you a hint. It's not really a secret at all. In fact everyone knows about this but unfortunately not everyone knows what to do especially in a case like overwhelm.
Ready... the secret is ACTION!
Yes, ACTION. Now you are probably wondering... "Hey, wait a sec, you just said you were in overwhelm, how can action possibly be the secret for that?"
Napoleon Hill, in his book "Think and Grow Rich" said, "Action is the real measure of intelligence". Thomas Huxley said: "The great end of life is not knowledge but action." Intelligence means nothing, action means everything.
I knew what I had to do this week and yet I was struggling to do it. I even had a 90 day marketing plan with each week spelled out for me and yet I was stuck. I got unstuck when I realized I was overwhelmed and decided to do something about it. What I decided to do was to take action. But the type of action I decided to take was influenced by my precious experience both in software development and martial arts.

Favourite Tricky Interview Questions Answered
Two of the many interview questions that crop up regularly have been going around in my head just recently. These are the ones that could be just like walking into a man-trap if you are not really careful. They sound almost innocuous and really quite so straightforward that you might just jump straight in with your answer. However if you do, you might not spot the concealed trap until it's too late.It is true that most interviewers are too busy to play games with you, but every now and then up pops one of these questions and delivers the knock-out blow.What are these questions and why do I call them my favourite interview questions?Well most of the regular interview questions - most interviewers ask about twenty questions - demand some thought and a straight answer based on your skill or experience whereas these two seem to come in from left field and are more devious. Instead of a straight answer what they want is an opinion which is always more difficult to judge and therefore much easier to get it wrong.So let's take a look at how you can deal with these two favourite interview questions:1.

Communication Breakdown - Don't Let It Happen To You
Do you have Communication breakdown?How are you communicating with your contacts?We need:Contacts we can send emails to regarding our business opportunities.Contacts we can build up a good working relationship with, similar interests as far as business opportunities go.Contacts we can share how we are going with our business opportunities.Contacts we can trust to be honest with us about what, how, when and why, as we operate our business and opportunities.Contacts we can become friends with, even though we are on other sides of the world and may never meet but can be open with each other like good friends are.With all these contacts there is one common factor ---COMMUNICATION. yes that's right communicating with each other.I have been amazed how much one can gauge by sending emails and receiving emails in return. A lot can come through in the written word. Mostly I don't think we even realise how much of our personalities we show when we send an email.Of course so many emails we receive, are not written by the sender, they are written by an experienced copywritter

The Background on Background Checks
In one of my past lives I held a Top Secret clearance as a Civil Service employee working for the Air Force. So I am familiar with background checks. But many job seekers are not. Here's a little background on background checks... More companies are doing background checks on potential employees these days than ever before. Why? Here are justa few of the reasons: 1. Studies show that 30-40% of all job applicants put false information on their resumes or applications, and "exaggerate" their qualifications during interviews. Can you blame employers for wanting to verify claims made by desperate job seekers? 2. Lawsuits for "negligent hiring" are on the rise. If an employee’s actions hurt someone, the employer may be liable. So when considering an applicant, it's in the company's best financial self-interest to find out if that person has done anything in the past which might indicate future problems. 3. Child abuse and abductions have resulted in new laws in almost every state that require criminal background checks for anyone who works with children. 4. The September 11th attacks h

Building Corporate Credit - The Best Way Start A Business
Introduction;A few years ago my wife and I used to work for a major retail company, we held positions of supervisor and manager respectively. We both wanted to start our own company but we were scared of the financial implications that it will have on our lives. Eventually we left the company, we still wanted to start our own company but we did not have the money or the resources to get started. That is when I started to do alot of my research.You would still have to spend money;When you look at this corporate credit building companies out there no tell you that you will have to spend money anyway, or some some programs cost you way too much. I will tell you the most that you may need to spend. $500 if you have purchased one my corporate credit building guides you can get the job done for about $250 including the cost of the guide. It is never free to start a business expect to spend money to make money. Just remember to spend money on long lasting resource. The good news about this is that the money spent to do business is a tax write off.#1 Secret about Credit Companies and

The small step is so easy that you bypass your overwhelm and fears and just do that one small step. Then after a little while you introduce another small step and continuously improve the situation or problem until it is solved.
So in this way you CAN take action, even if it is very small, and slowly over time each action you take has an effect that builds on all the others and creates an unstoppable force until your problem has been solved. The fact that the action is so small makes it easy for you to do SOMETHING and not focus on how much you have to do.
Maybe a short example will help. One of my goals is to increase the readership of my articles and to get more people exciting about Big Ticket Marketing. One of the best ways to do that is to get my blog and my articles out to as many readers as I can. So this week, I wanted to get my Blog and my articles listed in as many E-zine and Electronic List directories as possible. I even have software to help me do this.
Guess how many directories and list locations there are?
Well... there are over 1000 just in the built in database in the software I am using.
I kept putting this off, because I had a bunch of other stuff I needed to get done as well. But this was a major focus for me this week. Finally, what I decided to do was to just add my information to ONE directory or list every time I finished another task. Breaking it down so that I only had to worry about one entry every so often REALLY helped me make some progress in this area, without worrying about how many there were.
I still have a long way to go, but my initial goal was to get listed in 20-25 sites and I'm currently sitting at 17. A few more sites and I will have met my goal!
Plus, Kaizen is really how I study martial arts so the process is very familiar to me even when applied to something else.
Ok, so the one 1 simple step you need to take anytime you have a fear to conquer or an overwhelming situation to deal with is to decide on one simple action that you can do in a very short amount of time that will ultimately help you solve your problem. Do this, and then increase what you are doing in that area by a little bit each time and before you know it you will have your problem solved.
Try this! It works amazingly well with very little effort. And you get a huge amount of satisfaction knowing that you are taking steps to accomplish what you want to get done... and you'll be doing it almost effortlessly.
By the way, if you want a great little resource on how to apply Kaizen, you should get The Kaizen Way - One Small Step Can Change Your Life by Robert Maurer. It's a relatively recent book and a quick read at 182 pages. You can find it on Amazon or at Barnes and Noble online. Maybe this is your first small action step.
