Franchise Disclosure Laws Give Upper Hand to Attorneys
In today’s franchising industry franchisors are forced to have excessive disclosure documents. Franchise Attorneys will collect this data to try to sue you. Every one knows you should never trust an Attorney; that also goes for any Franchise Attorney also. If you are in franchising you will of course need a few of these extorsionists to protect you from other suing franchise lawyers. Franchising Lawyers; 88% are incompetent, so be careful and do you home work. Many hardly know their rear ends from a hole in the ground. Be sure to read the study on the Franchise Attorney, Franchising Lawyer and problems in franchising law.We need a complete overhaul in the industry with regards to franchise attorneys. While participating on the ABA Forum on Franchising for about 4 years, I have been noticing a problem wi

Dropped Out, But No Drop Out
Have you heard about the Tireds? The Thirty-something Independent Radical Educated Drop-out. Tired is a new acronym recently unveiled as a successor to the high-earning Yuppies of the 80s and 90s. Well here is a story of a tired.Anthony Page (Working Nomad .com) was in 1995 sentenced to life in the corporate world of information technology. After 7 years of labour he was let out on parole for good behaviour and then started to discover our wonderfully diverse planet through independent budget travel.In November of 2003 he was returned to inside the prison walls of the City of London and once again found himself in a suit and at the mercy of big business. You need funds to travel and Anthony’s only way to make money was to do what he knew best and what society deems correct.Temporary escape

INTRODUCTION

Nope, its not the lawyers; its the "bean counters" that are ruining business. Let me give you an example, I know of a large machine-tool operation in the Midwest who used to be heralded for producing quality products. To this end, the company established an in-house school who taught their machinists how to build products, not just any old way, the company's way. The school was led by the senior craftsmen of the business who took pride in their workmanship and passed this on to the new employees. When an employee graduated from the school, a machinest not only knew his job, but took pride in his work and became loyal to the company due to its reputation. Even if an employee dropped out and went elsewhere, he would always recommend his former company's products because he knew they were built with quality. This school went on for a number of years and became a part of the corporate culture. However, in the 1980's the company hired a team of MBA's to look over their operations and make recommendations for improvement. You must remember, this was a time when cost cutting was the norm. A

Learning to Speak the English Language
When you speak in your native language, you don't have to think about the grammar or the words you use. Correct sentences seem to just come to you. Your brain uses sentences you've already seen or heard. If you want to learn to speak the English language fluently, you have to learn it the way you learned your native language, by reading and listening.Reading and listening to the English language will help you develop English language intuition. Learning the English language is all about putting lots of proper sentences in your head. Your brain can then imitate them and produce similar English language sentences to express the meaning you want. When you read and listen to the English language a lot, paying close attention to useful English vocabulary, you will soon start to use new English language words

Know The Power of Your Words
Know The Power of Your Words When is the last time you gave your business a good self examine? If its been awhile then it might be time and in doing so one of the most important questions you can ask is simply: Are you what you say you are? Is your product or service in tune with what you advertise? If it isn't, then you could have a very damaging problem on your hands. The words you chose to represent your business image will eventually trickle down and effect your bottom line. So choose carefully. If you think advertising that you're selling Gourmet Hamburgers is a good idea when there isn't anything gourmet about them, then you're only hurting yourself. Why? Because now you've just created a mini cancer within your organization. Your emp

Is There A Grayscale to Entrepreneurship
Last night a good friend of mine said the following: “Dave, some people may feel that they are entrepreneurs but when they read about people saying that you are either born an entrepreneur or you aren’t, they automatically discount themselves from entrepreneurship and begin to feel that entrepreneurship isn’t for them because they don’t feel that they are natural born leaders; which is something that all entrepreneurs must possess.”After some debating and discussing this issue with my friend, I started to agree with her that there must be a large population on young entrepreneurs who are stuck in this gray area of not knowing if they are entrepreneurs or not.Thinking that way caused me to rethink my own perception of entrepreneurship: “you either have it or you don’t.” To a large degree, I am stil

Tips on Creating Your Small Business Yellow Page Ad
First, a few words about my qualifications. I was a Yellow Page consultant for nearly 25 years and, prior to that, had my own advertising agency. I also have a degree in marketing. I’ve been designing Yellow Page ads for the past three decades. So I have experience in creating ads and have advised almost 7000 companies on how to put together the most effective ones. If you have a display or in-column ad, regardless of size, color or position, I can tell you it most probably needs improvement in essentials areas like the headline, artwork, body text, placement, book, or heading. So, whether you have an ad or are thinking about placing one, please read on.The small, home-based business was the backbone of our directory. Because they wanted to target a localized market area, the Yellow Pages was ideal. It

became a part of the corporate culture. However, in the 1980's the company hired a team of MBA's to look over their operations and make recommendations for improvement. You must remember, this was a time when cost cutting was the norm. After looking over the financial statements of the business, the management consultants concluded the school represented a costly overhead and convinced the company to close it down.

Shortly after the school's closure, the company started to experience a drop in morale, absenteeism and tardiness began to rise, and craftsmanship began to deteriorate. Product quality dropped significantly and the company began to lose customers, so much so, they eventually sold off their machine-tool operations and went into a totally new line of business. Keep in mind, prior to this the company was a leader in the machine-tool industry and generated substantial profits from it.

Obviously this story isn't unique as we have witnessed several such changes in the corporate landscape during the 1980's and 1990's. The point is, the bean counters have taken charge of business which has triggered sweeping changes in how we deal with our customers, our vendors, and our
