    Buying Jewelry For Your Business Part 2: Buying Sterling Silver Jewelry
    Whether you presently own a retail or web based business and are looking for an additional profit center or you are thinking of starting a business, jewelry is a “no-brainer” choice for a proven product category. The buying public, (particularly women) never tires of jewelry as the choices in color, materials, finishes and styles are endless and innovations are continual.

    Squeezing the Blood Out of that Old Turnip
    I suspect all of you out there have someone that you rely on for insight and perspective – that wise old mentor that seems to have an unlimited depth of experience to draw from in helping you navigate life’s little challenges. You know, those little parables and anecdotal tales that always relate perfectly that very problem you’re trying to solve. Today, I go to that well of experience in responding to a problem I know many of you are facing right now- squeezing that last d
    Appraisals are coming up for many professional women, and for many asking for a promotion or pay rise is one of the toughest challenges they’ll face all year. Getting adequately paid is vital as pay is one of the clearest ways we measure our value at work. Unfortunately this does not make it any easier to negotiate when seeking a promotion. The secret is in being prepared to quantify your worth, even if you are in a non-fee generating position. This is the perfect time to look back over what you have accomplished while in your current role and if possible, put a monetary value next to all of the projects in which you participated or managed. If your projects cannot easily be given a financial kudos, cite other measurable indicators of your success. For example, over the past year have you managed more people, mentored new colleagues, won new clients or reduced turnover of new staff?

    In one seminar I conducted, a participant recommended keeping a journal of all your responsibilities and the actions taken towards finishing projects not only as a means of preparing for yearly appraisals but also as a confidence booster when thinking about what you have accomplished. It is easy to forget what we were struggling with 8 months ago and give ourselves real credit for overcoming the challenge. Women tend to minimize how hard a challenge was AFTER they have surmounted it!

    Do You Know the Rules?
    I've been watching my local basketball team, the Dallas Mavericks, struggling in their first round of the playoffs, hoping this is the year they take it all. I still have confidence that they can win, but an interesting thing occurred to me during last night's game. I was talking out loud to the TV as I often do during ball games (I think it is a guy thing) and many times I would shout something like "That looked like goal tending to me!", or "That wasn't Charging!".<

    Work Is A Four-Letter Word
    I can hear the jokes already and most of them are not politically correct.

    Debate for Business Plan Data and Early Franchise Disclosure
    I have heard franchise attorneys say that prospective franchisees need the disclosure documents early on so they can make a business plan to see if the franchised outlet is feasible and I debated with them over this point of contention. Potential franchise buyers have also told me they wanted to put together a business plan for their evaluation process and therefore they need all the disclosure documents.

    Top Tips for Negotiating a Promotion at Work

    1. If you would like to stay within your current company, let your boss know throughout the year that you are interested in advancing your career. Bosses do not have telepathy and do not always know who is happy in their current position and who would like a bit more of a stretch. Ask what other types of projects you could take on and what types of skills or training are considered to be pre-requisites to advancing to the next level.

    2. Keep your CV or resume in order. Update it yearly even if you plan to stay with your current employer. This will give you a good guide for keeping track of additional new responsibilities or projects you handled as well as their financial worth to the company.

    3. Use the internet to find employment sites or salary surveys such as www.monster.co.uk or www.payscale.com to compare the earnings of others in this new role. Always have an idea of how much of an increase you would like in both salary and level of responsibility, as seeming unprepared may con
