Watch Out For Folks Going To Bible Study

This is an OLD experience for my family. It happened many years ago. Can it happen again?? It almost did just 3 years ago. YOU can never let your guard down when doing business. There are just too many folks ready to make the easy dollar…. AT YOUR EXPENSE.

Contracts Can Backfire In Your Face!!

Some years ago, our firm had an employee who was labeled as the MARKETING Manager. Also, the Sales Manager. Obviously, a very IMPORTANT position. YOUNG and ENERGETIC! SINGLE! A real GO-GETTER!! As you might expect, HE got engaged, then married to a NICE GAL. Intelligent. A good businesswoman, too.

Not a bad situation for him. OUR PROBLEM?? His new wife was 3 HOURS away! How can we keep THIS valuable employee? WE had NO BUSINESS in the CITY where he needed to live with his new wife. He wanted to stay in the business and we certainly desired his continued employment with us.

Are You Ready to Buy a Franchise

Lots of folk think all you have to do is buy a franchise from some company and you are on your way to great success. NOTHING is farther from the truth!!

How do I know? Been there! Done that! It is more often than not a bad deal and a lot of money up front. You’ll pay FUTURE fees for the privilege of doing business. If you don’t like to be told what to do and how to do it, then you probably want to look long and hard before buying a franchise.

Foreign Outsourcing of American Jobs

Is foreign outsourcing of American jobs by American Companies immoral? I Say YES!

Lawmakers in more than 25 states and in the United States Congress have identified foreign outsourcing as a threat to US employment and prosperity. Legislators must ban federal or state contracts with companies that would outsource jobs to foreign countries.

If no action is taking, US companies will continue to fire American workers in significant numbers and replacing them with foreign workers in low-wage countries such as India, China and Eastern Europe.

How to Create an Email Signature

An email signature is a block of text appended to the end of an email message often containing the sender’s name, address, phone number, web site link or other information you wish to share with your email recipients.

Your email signature is an easy way to show people you take your work seriously and what you’re up to. Adding an email signature is not only an easy and fast way to draw attention to your business, it’s free advertising.

No Personal Guarantees….Your Best Deal!!

Things you may not expect USUALLY HAPPEN! Here’s what happened to a good friend of mine several years ago. Timing doesn’t matter, it could happen TODAY.

My friend went out of town on vacation. Upon his return, he discovered that his “PARTNERS” had signed a MAJOR contract to PURCHASE an expensive computer system WITHOUT even consulting with him.

This is why your AGREEMENTS are so IMPORTANT and MUST be in WRITING! My point is…this can happen to you unless your LEGAL advisor has PROTECTED your best interest in the business. You DO NOT want someone making decisions for you when it is YOUR money at RISK. Even more serious is being on the hook for any borrowed funds from your banker.

EBITDA…What Does It Mean To You??

If you are just starting your own business, great! If you already have a business, GREAT!! It really does not matter what stage you are currently facing. You MUST have one GOAL in mind when you begin a business.

BUILD YOUR BUSINESS TO SELL!!!

This is the ONLY good reason to start or run your own business. An ideal plan is to set yourself up to sell out and start over every 5 years until you reach the ultimate goal to RETIRE. Obviously, this is not an easy thing to do, but it certainly is a great goal to set into your business plan. Hopefully, you won’t have to face a recession every 5 to 6 years as we did in our 40 plus years business life.
