    Handing in Your Resignation and Serving Notice
    Have you made the right choice? Before deciding to resign from your current position and move to a new employer, you should weigh up as objectively as possible all the relevant factors: remuneration, working environment, location, travel demands, training and development opportunities, promotional
    This brings me back to the comment by the State Representative, about knowing the President of the College’s friends.

    Sometimes, our choices of friends are the first bad choice of many. We are judged by the company we keep, and ultimately we pay the consequences of the choices we’ve made, influence by the company we keep. That’s a bit redundant – but extremely true. If you desire to be ethical, you l

    Small Deals are the Steps to the Really BIG Deals - Here's how
    What’s the BIG deal? Small DealsYou have to make small deals before you can make bigger deals. Just like you can't make a million dollars before your make $500,000, before your make $100,000, before you make $50,000, before you make $10,000, before you make $5,000, before you make $3,000, b
    Years of experience have taught me there is no such thing as “Business Ethics”. If a person isn’t ethical in the rest of their lives, their business ethics aren’t worth the shoe leather they’ve worn out either.

    I stood beside a State Representative at college graduation recently, and heard him tell a gentleman shaking his hand that he had the utmost respect for the President of the college, because he knew who her friends were and they all had good solid “Business Ethics”. I raised an eyebrow and continued a conversation with another friend nearby. It was my third College Graduation this year.

    At a high school graduation, I listened to the Valedictorian say, “Your values for living all of your life will follow wherever you go.” At another graduation, an honorary graduate stated, “Who you are today will be reflected every day of your life, by what you become tomorrow.” At another function, celebrating the accomplishment of older students, those who were returning to school after being part of the work force for many years, I heard yet another speaker say, “Your life is marked by dates, one at the beginning, and one at the end, with just a dash in between. A short little dash reflecting who you were, what you accomplished, and the values you held. How important will your dash be?”

    As I reflect on these comments, I look back at my own life. Every choice has a consequence. I know, because I’ve made a few bad choices, along with the good ones. As I look back, I often realize the choices I made that didn’t turn out so very well were often made with the influence of other people, so I have to look back further.

    What's A Good Idea For A Business?
    Any idea can be a good idea, but not every idea is. Before you process that let's take the following questions into account. Why did Bavarian Motor Works (BMW) decide to produce cars? How did soft drinks become a billion dollar industry? Who would have thought you could make millions off of junk? W

    Doing All The Right Things - For All The Wrong Reasons - The Lessons To Business
    As a former CEO of a publicly-traded company, I have watched the emerging revelations of corporate wrongdoing with more than a passing interest. While filled with the same revulsion shared by many to the immoral, illegal and greedy actions of some companies and their leaders, I am also concerned th

If you desire to be ethical, you live an ethical life, and you choose ethical friends.

    What do your friends and your choices say about you?
