Add You - Entrepreneurship Story; Over Regulation in Franchising Final Chapter
If you're anything at all like me, you weren't in need of constant reminders to pay all of the monthly bills. And don't we all know that there are plenty of them including credit cards, electricity, cable, water, rent, and car loan or I will simply forget all about them. I've attempted many ways to overcome my little absent-mindedness, including such things as posting notes to myself on my refrigerator so I see them each day, using a PDA to keep track of due dates, and declaring a specific day each month when I will set everything else the size and take care of paying my bills right then and there. But none of those things were very effective, and I kept getting whacked with late fees and threats of all kinds. Then a friend suggested an online bill pay service. Since I joined, I have yet to be late on even a single bill.At the present time, the majority of credit card companies, banks, and other service providers offer the convenience of online bill payment. That basically spells convenience, meaning that you to be able to make monthly payments online to just about anyone. This is surely a great for those of us who love convenience, especially if you are forgetful and have as much trouble keeping track of things as I do.Starting out with a third-party online bill pay schedule consists of just two simple steps.

Sally says “well we do not need to do site selection because we were going to go to that shop it is a great location, besides since Joe is a long time employee we are giving him a discount.” The S2D2 is so smiling now seeing as they have been on the phone nearly 45 minutes at his billing price of $150 per hour and he loves to round up, over billing may not be his middle name, but definitely in his family tree are the family names of White and Waters, he continues smiling. The S2D2 says “you cannot give him a discount if his parent partners are from IL and you have to offer the same exact deal to everyone in IL and it will severely jeopardize your future franchising in IL.” Sally enraged starts to say something, “This is b-,” but doesn’t she just is thinking how much she wants to kill the adulter’ing, over charging, scum and S2D2 (Sally thought this not the author of this truly purely fiction story) for not explaining all this ahead of time, they promised Joe.

It must be one my personal business nightmares, if you can imagine having just flown to New York to meet a new client and the airline has lost all your clothes! So what can one learn from such events about delivering great customer service experiences?The best laid plans of mice and men often go awryTo give you the background, I’d just been to California and had arranged to meet the COO of a potential great new client in New York on my way back home to England. I’d visited them a few weeks before and I’d felt as though I’d wandered onto the set of “The Devil Wears Prada” (or should that be “Ugly Betty”?). So not wanting to be left too far behind the “New York Chic look” of my hosts, I’d gone out and purchased the very best of shirts & ties that London has to offer (OK anyone from Milan is allowed a note of scepticism at this point) combined with my new Italian suit & cuff links, I knew I’d look the part ;-)My plane was several hours late into New York due to “unexpected delays” – I was little nervous as I’d arranged to go out to dinner that evening. Still with my Platinum Frequent Flyer card my suitcase had qualified for a special “Priority Handling” label so I was looking forward to getting my suitcase quickly and rushing off ahead of the pack to the taxi rank. Sadly, after all of the luggage had

Studies have shown that successful entrepreneurs possess these characteristics:1. Self-confidenceThis is that magical power of having confidence in oneself and in one's powers and abilities.2. Achievement OrientedResults are gained by focused and sustained effort. They concentrate on achieving a specific goal, not just accomplishing a string of unrelated tasks.3. Risk TakerThey realize that there is a chance of loss inherent in achieving their goals, yet they have the confidence necessary to take calculated risks to achieve their goals.Entrepreneurs are people who will make decisions, take action, and think that they can control their own destinies. They are often motivated by a spirit of independence which leads them to believe that their success depends on raw effort and hard work, not luck.So which of these three main characteristics is the most important? Believe it or not, it has to be self-confidence. Without self-confidence, nothing else is possible. If you don't believe in your abilities, then the first challenge that arises may knock you off the path to achieving your goals. Here are a few things to keep in mind for maintaining a higher level of self-confidence.Positive ThinkingWell, it all starts with a positive attitude, doesn't it? Believing th
Jim says “we have to wait another week?” Jim thinks to himself, do I have to call you when I need to use the restroom too, you would probably like that to hold me and help me aim, he decides he will just be quiet and listen?

And meanwhile contact an Accounting firm and make sure they do audits.” Sally says “but, you said we did not need audits for two-years?” The S2D2 says, “Well yes that is true but you are franchising in IL now, they require audits. Unless Joe has another way to do this business on his own?” Sally says “I’ll ask him, but I think he has no credit, especially after his divorce two-years ago, his wife ran off with an attorney.” The S2D2 sensing some hostility being aimed his way says “I am sorry to here that, but maybe you can figure something out, maybe there is another way, meanwhile.
