It's never been easy to find risk capital for any business
venture. Even during the heyday of the DotCom frenzy, only one
business plan in two thousand five hundred was funded by venture
capitalists. "Angel" investors funded about one business plan in
three hundred. Wealthy private investors are called ...

Develop a POWERFUL 30-Second Elevator Speech That Could Double
First let me tell you what NOT to do. Don't talk about you,
don't talk about your products. In as short a statement as
possible tell them the measurable results you deliver, and who
you deliver them to. Then shut up.
Don't try to tell them EVERYTHING in one breath. Tell them
something that is so powerfully grabbing that they just have to
ask you for more, and even then when you respond keep it short,
keep them asking for more. So, how do you do that?
Here is an exercise I do with all of my ...

Your multinational corporation's mandate is to buy private
companies. You want to build your public company's revenues to
US$100 million/year. Then, you'll sell it to a stronger
multinational corporation.
Why would any private company owner want to sell their private

Does it make good business sense outsourcing to India?
There was a time when India was a mere blip on the world map and
was burdened with its reputation as a mystic land of sanyasis,
new-age gurus, snake charmers and poverty! The 1990s announced
the arrival of Globalization. With boundaries shrinking and
geographies blurring, and a nascent IT revolution taking ground,
India fast caught on to the booming industry. With hi-caliber
talent, government support, strong infrastructure and a booming
economy, India fast emerged from the veil of exoticism to ...

ESSENTIALS FOR BUSINESS SUCCESS
Once I had bought a hotel in Scotland, my next concern was to
ensure my business was viable. Releasing the energy of
faith, looking forward as I entered my first trading season, I
was able to activate two positive principles of enterprise. One
might think of these as being grouped under a 'one way' sign (to
borrow a symbol from the Highway Code), because they are
positive, mandatory instructions:
1. Plan ahead
2. Think customer
Planning ahead is reaching out in advance. Thinking customer ...

Lindon, Utah- Dance was a big part of life for a 15-year-old
girl from Lindon, Utah until she was involved in a tragic car
accident on Father's Day, June 19, last summer.
Tori Schmanski spent most of her free time dancing for 12 years

Ballet, Modern or Tap, Tori's face would light up when her feet

The reason that you must bury your public company's shares is to
reduce your company's float. The lower your public company's
float, the lower your investor relations cost. [See my article
The Proper Use of Shares.] The buried shares are deducted from
your float and the balance is called the effective float. ...

The Importance of a Modernized Phone System in Today's Business
The importance of a modernized phone system should never be
underestimated in today's business world. Lost calls due to
insufficient lines and equipment can quickly turn into lost
revenue for companies who do business over the phone. The
industry term for a call terminated by the customer while
waiting for a pick-up is an Abandoned Call. Abandoned Calls are
not only frustrating for the consumer, but also can have the
effect of dissuading the customer from trying again at a later

I don't need a website... I've met with many small businesses
this past year trying to sell my skills and one thing I
regularly hear is this:
"I don't sell anything online, I don't advertise online, I don't

a website?"
If you don't feel a website can help your business grow or

Coaching for Creativity in the Workplace

Everyone I have ever talked to that is an entrepreneur has had
to come face to face with their fears. I have had to as well. I

In Canada, you'll pay 60% taxes on your pretax profit. In the

because employee stress dramatically increases due to the
universal fear of the unknown. In these times, communication
