    Presentation Tips for Beginners
    An effective, compelling presentation has three clear parts: the introduction, the body and the conclusion.Try to involve your audience. Inject variety through the use of a whiteboard or PowerPoint bullet points. Invite comment or feedback whenever possible. Questions or comment from the audience provide valuable breaks as well as a chance to regather your thoughts.Remember - you are there to communicate with your audience, not to talk at them. So use language they find compelling. Paint pictures of eve

    Business Licenses Required For Starting A Car Painting Business In New Jersey
    It is mandatory for any business to obtain certain business licenses if it chooses to operate legally. In order to start a car painting business in New Jersey certain licenses are essential.Business Licenses Requirements:The Motor Vehicle Commission of New Jersey issues the business licenses that are required to operate an auto body repair business such as a car painting business.Requirements to Qualify For the Licenses:• It is essential to be 18 years and above with no criminal record.If you follow these powerful suggestions in running your small business you will have an excellent chance of creating your own Gold Mine. No Kidding.

    Here’s how:

    1. Make sure that your business, whatever it is today, has the legs to grow into the future.
      If your business is in a dying industry, and you know it, then find an economical, sensible way to get out. For instance, I have clients in industries that are losing business to China…and I mean rapidly. If these domestic companies don’t quickly find joint venture partners in China they won’t survive another three years, maybe less. Research like crazy to be sure that your company’s products/services have survivability.

    2. Make a business plan for this current year and for each year for the next five years
      Do not delay in doing this. I know that making a business plan is a pain, particularly if you’ve never created one. It’s also hard seeing five years out. But try anyway. Think what your customers and their marketplace will be looking for five years down the road. Get out from behind your desk and go see your customers. Ask them questions. Listen carefully to their answers.

    3. Hire the best people you can find and do whatever you can to keep them enthused and happy.

      Give them responsibility. Help them plan their own careers and their personal lives around your company. Try to give/ sell your key people equity in the business. At best you can create ownership for your people. Your success and financial future is in lock-step with your employees. Be hard nosed about hiring and keeping the best people. Set up a “not to be violated” model for employee re-cruiting. Do not waver. Never hire an inferior person because you might be needy at that time. Be sure your people understand what you want from them. Even more important is that you know what they want from your company---then help them get what they want and you will realize much more than you even planned for.

    4. Watch your cash and your cash flow.

      That isn’t saying the same thing. Whatever your system you use, complex or simple, get a cash balance everyday. You also should look at how much cash has come in for the week to date, month to date and year to date. These are simple items and are easy to generate. You must also receive a daily cash outgo report. Demand that a Profit and Loss Statement and a Balance Sheet are on your desk no later than 10 days after the end of the previous month. Do not accept excuses for not receiving this information. At the end of every week, look ahead to the next week to forecast your AR and the AP list. Run current aging reports every month. Speak to your outside accountant once a month when you receive your financials from the prior month.

      Once a year ask your accountant for an appraisal for the market value of your company. Basically, it’s nice to know information, even though retirement may be years away. Do not depend on anyone, nor count on any “outside” retirement plan to fund enough money for your retirement.

    Franchises - Good and Bad
    Even though franchising per se is a sound business concept, there are good and bad franchises and a prospective franchisee needs to discern the difference between the two.Since choosing a franchise is a major decision, a prospect has to consider many factors before taking the final plunge. Initially, however, he should first list down his preferences, personality traits, and management style. He should go into a business that matches who he is, and how he runs things. He must also study the existing franchi

    Marketing's Two Basic Approaches
    The essence of quality marketing is the maximum possible communication your product's value to a potential customer. How to do that is the essence of this marketing book. To increase market share, you need to lower your prices or add value (or, advertise the heck out of your product, hoping for robot-like response).What needs to be defined here is the difference between the two forms of approach.

    What Should Not Be Outsourced
    With all the talk about outsourcing today, many companies are using it to accomplish more and more tasks. But there IS a limit. In fact, there are three of them:Cost – When it is more expensive to outsource than to do it in-house, outsourcing is a bad idea. This isn’t often easy to determine. Sometimes the outsourcing expert may quote more than in-house costs because the expertise is rare and the market rate for the service is high. You might be better off hiring and training in this case. Take into acco

    Just so we’re clear…I think working for a corporation as a career is folly. In subsequent articles I’m going to make my point that depending on a long term job, with a large company that will be financially sound 15-25-40 years from now is not good planning. There are all kinds of small business opportunities today, like never before, that can bring financial independence to you and your family. I will offer examples in future articles.
