Everything begins and ends with your attitude. It is the foundation for our success. In fact, in many companies a good attitude is not only nice, but also essential. It keeps people from getting hired and in other cases it is a reason for dismissal. For example, if you apply for a job at one major hotel chain and you do not smile at least five times in a five -minute interview then your chances for getting hired are almost non-existent. In another instance, one major hardware store has managers who observe employees and if they see anyone with a bad attitude they relieve them of their duties immediately. All this "attitude" stuff may seem fluffy to some, but to attract and keep clients we must project an upbeat, caring and concerned attitude. A recent survey stated it best when they asked clients why they don't go back to a business. The overwhelming response was "an attitude of indifference by the owner, manager or employee."

Six Ways to Get People to Say “Yes”
from Copyblogger by Dean Rieck
Getting people to say “yes” is the goal for any sales message. It’s what psychologists call “compliance.”
However, my first exposure to the idea of compliance was not in a psychology book, but beneath a tree decades ago when my grandfather, in a moment of playfulness, showed me something startling with a stick and a few red feathers.

Critical 2009 Wake Up Call for Your Small Business
From Kevin Hogan
Pay attention to this and it could be worth more than 100 K in the New Year. (Ignore it, and you DO put everything you own at risk for no good reason)
Yep, really...
I had the "protection epiphany" two years ago and I now have an attorney who after having slapped me silly has my corporate "life" set up the way it needs to be to protect from the looney tunes of the world.
I THOUGHT I had taken care of this 15 years ago.
I was 100% wrong.
I had my business incorporated, but I was not aware of a few small, but very Important things that are VITAL if you are ever sued or challenged. And no one will EVER ask for these things until it is too late. (there are about 7 crucial elements that are required and they should take under an hour a year if you have a system)
Look, you have either created your small business or soon will and man that is a GREAT THING to be on the path to a lifestyle of your own choosing. But there is a hidden predator waiting to attack you and take away your home and savings-- and your corporation is almost certainly not set up to defend against this attack.
(Apparently 95% of small business owners do not understand the simple steps they need to take to protect themselves from being slaughtered).
When you started your small corporation, you did it to get some obvious tax advantages so you could actually keep your money instead of sending it to the nearest bank as a bailout.... and that corporation CAN build a wall of liability protection around your personal assets.
Like the "What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas" commercials, your Corp. is intended so that "What happens in the Corporation, Stays in the Corporation". But there is a huge gotcha…
So the data shows that 95% of all business owners are living with a false sense of security-- and are one lawsuit or one IRS action away from losing all of their protection, and maybe everything they own. (and you are probably one of the endangered ones, because no one else is telling you this stuff).
You don't want to lose everything in life and have to start all over again, especially not in this economy, with nothing to your name.
Now more than every, people are looking to steal what it yours and they are willing to go to significant lengths to get it when they see a low risk/high reward opportunity for themselves,.
My friend and Platinum Inner Circle member Rob Northrup is the owner of two real corporations and he has spent the last year doing the research and talking with business lawyers.
The result is a Clear, Concise, Step-By-Step system that can take any business owner by the hand and, no matter what condition your records are in, he can show you how to get them in proper order painlessly in under 8 hours, and for less than what one half-hour with an attorney would cost… (to do this the hard way would cost more than 4,000 and take a lot more time)…and not doing it at all, well....you get the idea.
It's the first week of the New Year and it is time to get this done NOW.
If you have a business, you absolutely owe it to yourself and your family to make sure that your business is protecting YOU.,..That's what it's there for in the first place....
Because Rob is my friend, and because I asked him....he is giving an incredible opp for my Readers to help them
Go here to read more and order the Corporate Veil Pro system at this one time price.
Rob is also doubling his GUARANTEE to a full 90 days to remove all the "risk," leaving just the reward of a strong wall of protection for your assets…
The system is 495.00 at Rob's website. We're going to put it in the store for 297 for the public and give you the coupon code "PROTECT" which you can use through January 12, 09 at 11:59 PM CST and take an extra 100 off leaving a miniscule 197.00. Good?

Navigating the challenges of today's economy - 2009
2008 Was The Year of The Rat … On To 2009
They don’t call 2008 “The Year of the Rat” for nothing. Although some small businesses will emerge from 2008 relatively unscathed by the financial turmoil, it is likely that most will be affected negatively as we move ahead into a recessionary economy and the perils of uncertainty in the global economy. This period is likely to last at least 1-2 more years and could go longer. Although new and great challenges are always coupled with new opportunities, my feeling is that the best small business strategy moving ahead is to cut your expenses as much as possible, assume the recession could last for several years and seek stability more than growth unless you can grow the business very inexpensively.
Rather than borrowing to grow, consider options where you can effectively monetize your own time and experience towards the longer term goals rather than take on more business development expenses (and thus usually more debt) as one tends to do in a normal business environment. Following are a few examples:
