Small Business Strategies And Your Strategic Development Team

Your Business's Strategic Planning Team
When we add the word "strategic" to anything, it means whatever it is will take a ling time and because of that there is no reason to get started on it today.
Saying you are going to begin putting together your "strategic" plan is like Washington politicians saying they are going to set up a "commission" to study the matter.
Unlike government bureaucrats, business owners must show bankable results, increases to the bottom line if they want to stay around for long. So, anything strategic is...

Video: Conflict Resolution in the Office
Every workplace has conflict of one kind or another. It may be a simple disagreement between employees and their managers about a particular activity or direction given and not received.
In many situations, regardless of who's involved in it, is a disagreement about how something everyone already agrees should be done, is done. Strategy in other words - what we call a conflict of agreement. The task needs performing, we just can't agree on how.
The result then to this agreement becomes a t...

Video: How To Resolve Conflict in Workplace
It is well known that when conflict goes unresolved it gets worse. That might not mean it gets more apparent however. In fact just the opposite is often the case.
Since having and keeping their job is critical in the minds of everyone, conflict is often hidden so when someone feels wronged or slighted they can "get back" at their tormentor without fear of being found out.
And if they can "set up" their counterpart all the better!
That said, conflict in the workplace can have a negative ...

Strategic Partnerships and Business Development to Dominate Your Market
Every business owner says they want to dominate their market. Do they mean sell everybody in their traditional marketing area or sell everybody in their marketing area everything they want or need that they can supply?
Or do they mean expanding their marketing footprint - maybe online, and then doing one or both of them?

Leadership Development Training A Significant Component in Business Success
The question we all ask ourselves when we see some new, great, or world-class leader being trumpeted in the media or in person at an industry event - is whether or not they were born or made to be the amazing person they are today.
That requires us to first consider what 'they' say a leader should be and in what content the person is being described. My gut feeling is that someone who is a great leader of a college football team may not turn out to be a great leader in business and vice versa...

Want To Keep Your Best People? Here's How!
Have you ever stopped to consider the differences between and among the folks in your company? Most of us work in what can loosely if not literally be considered "family" businesses - meaning owned and operated by people who are related to one another.
Related by birth, marriage, or friendship or a combination of all three. The result is we are around a potentially wide variety of personalities with varying motivations and capabilities - whose presence makes every decision more likely to be a...

Marketing Implementation: Focus On The Target First
In the past marketing campaigns were created with care, after many meetings - too many meetings no doubt, but the decisions were arrived at after considerable deliberation.
It's not that we were smarter then, it's that we knew from experience that implementing them would take time, energy, and money - so we wanted to be sure we were heading in the right direction first.
Today on the other hand online tools, inexpensive software, and possibly instant feedback has spawned a new strategy. It'...

Are Strategic Planning & Succession Planning The Same Thing?
Think about it, strategic planning is generally defined as planning beyond the next X number of months/year - depending on your business and how long it's productivity cycles are.
For example if it takes 18-24 months to bring another product or process online then surely strategic planing is longer than for the business that only requires a new brochure to describe what they're doing next.
Succession planning is generally defined as the orderly passage of the organization from the existin...

What's The Link Between Marketing And Fishing?
If you like to fish you'll see the link between marketing in all its forms and the time you spend in search of that elusive fish. Especially the one to one sport of fly fishing. No boat, simple (but often expensive) fishing tackle, and desire - plus a lot of skill, is all it takes for both.
You're out in there by yourself standing almost hip deep is seriously cold water. You're waiting in an ice cold brook with its shadowy blue water flowing by with he sun's gleaming reflection making it virt...

2/3 of All Successful Companies End Up Failing Anyway
If you don't know the stats you will end up failing too. Something like eighty percent of all new business fail - because it was a bad idea, they didn't know what they were doing or they ran out of money before they could develop a sustainable business enterprise.
If you beat those odds you may succeed in the short run, but in the long term - if you are like over 67% of your successful peer, you'll go out of business anyway. Why?
Company owners who have devoted 20 or more years growing the...
