  • Repeat Until Memorized

     I remember, as a child, raptly watching a Saturday morning adventure TV show where the hero was captured by the “bad guys” who gave him the “Ancient Water Torture” in order to extract secret information. Seems our hero was tied down while an endless amount of water was dropped on his forehead, drop by drop, until he would capitulate and divulge the secrets. Of course, the hero managed to miraculously extract himself “just in the nick of time” and save the world as he did every Saturday morning.More

  • Logo-ize For Instant Identification & Increased Awareness

     The task of creating an indelible impact on the memory of your target market is arduous but can be made much easier with a well thought out logo. The word comes from the ancient Greek where it was used in philosophy and theology to mean “the divine reason implicit in the cosmos, ordering it and giving it form and meaning.” The function of a logo in today’s business world is much the same – to make the visual identification of your company implicit by giving it form and meaning.More

  • Would you Invest?

     A friend of mine emailed a photo that was rather shocking. It was a 1978 staff photo of Microsoft Corporation – there are only seven people pictured. In the lower left-hand corner Bill Gates looks about twelve-years-old while in the lower right-hand corner, scraggly bearded fellow multi-billionaire Paul Allen looks like a techie nerd.More

  • Sports Are Easy, Business is Tough

     In football the goal is to cross the goal line more often than the other team. In basketball it is to get the ball in the basket more than your opponents. In track, ski, and auto racing it is to cross the finish line before the others.More

  • Confidence = Preparation + Courage

     It always amazes me when I see someone on television holding a press conference – a lawyer outside a courtroom, a businessperson at the launch of a new product. Reporters ask hardball questions. The answers are given with conviction, without hesitation.More

  • Learn A Lesson from Oprah

     Oprah made a mistake. She came forth and took responsibility for it in her admission of error. She apologized.More

  • Values - Got Them?

     A day hardly passes without some business news story mentioning an accounting scandal at a large public corporation, an executive going to jail, doing the “perp walk” or testifying against former colleagues. There is probably some news on this very page of some business crime. I’ll bet that every one of the companies mentioned in the news has a beautifully framed Values Statement hanging prominently in the lobby and proudly displayed in the Annual Report.More

  • Try Listening for a Change

     We are a society of people who work hard at the art of persuasion. We work to persuade our customers and prospects, our co-workers, our children, and just about any one else we can get to listen to us. But we’re not too good at listening and that is a shame because opportunities come when you listen hard.More

  • Is the Business Keeping the Promises you Make?

     A business makes many promises. Some, like a guarantee are stated on paper. Others are implied in the Mission, Vision and Values Statements.More

  • Get Out of Your Easy Chair and Do Something!

     Many businesses are comfortable. Ahhhh… it is so nice being in the comfort zone – the metaphorical easy chair in front of a warm fireplace, feet up, and relaxed. The company is doing fine, business is good; management, customers and staff are happy… and complacent.More
