I Advice - Chocolate Chip Cookies and What They Are Telling Us
Although you may not be a marketing guru, advertising can get your cleaning company noticed by potential customers. But before you spend any of your advertising dollars, decide on your target market. Finding your particular niche and directing your ad dollars to that area will be the most effective way to get clients calling and asking about your services and hopefully signing on as new customers.Start by setting an advertising budget. A general ru
There are many reasons why we disengage; my reason du jour is “creative avoidance”. If I’m eating a cookie, I don’t have to write an article. However, more and more frequently we are seeing that workers disengage because they have lost their passion for their work, or worse yet they never felt the passion to begin with.
Passion is lost when we are not working in our gifts and strengths. If you were created to be a teacher and share your love o
In today's global economy, it is not only trade that is international. It’s the companies and their employees too. Therefore it’s increasingly common to have companies with a variety of languages spoken in the divisions. So perhaps we should expect that translation of internal reports and communications is a regular occurrence?I have worked at some pretty large international companies and from my own experience most businesses have not adapted to th
Well, now that we are all clear on my addiction of choice. Let’s look at what the cookies are dying for me to know, and what your indulgences want you to know as well.
We all have out little indulgences in the work place, which take us away from our work for a moment and allow us to mentally take a break. Whether it is the extra 10 minutes we spend chatting with a co-worker about her love life, the couple of extra personal calls we make each day, the extra ? hour we take for lunch, or maybe it’s just gossiping about how “Mary” is taking an extra ? hour for her lunch. Any one of these little breathers alone, like that first chocolate chip cookie, can be rationalized away and can even be a little bit of a good thing. They are indulgences that make us feel better in the moment.
We all know that it is ok to indulge once in a while, or what the heck, once a day everyone needs a little breather to pick ourselves up. It is when we have hit our 10th indulgence of the day that we have to take a more serious look at why it is we are driven to indulge.
If we are over indulging in one thing, then we can be sure we are disengaging from something else. Indulgence is the symptom, not the problem. The real problem is that we are disengaging from our work and there is a reason we have made this choice. It is a choice that many more people are making and when professionals disengage from their work we all pay the price. Disengaged workers miss 3.5 more days of work per year than average employees. In addition, a study by Robert Hall International shows that two months of the average worker’s year is wasted time, costing business a total of $1.5 billion in lost time.

What is the key factor in good advertising?With any small business, trial and error is often frustration. Strapped with a small amount of money to spend, errors in judgement or a simple lack of research into advertising often make it easy to walk away from advertising completely. Or worse yet, your small business ends up feeding some big advertising firm. And we all know that without advertising or with high overhead advertising, you risk putting

When talking about Internet branding, positioning is the key. Positioning is the act of fixing the exact locus of the product offer in the chosen market; it decides how and around what distinctive feature the product offer has to be couched and communicated to the consumers. While positioning its product, a firm analyzes the competitor’s positions, searches its own competitive advantages and then identifies the best possible position for the product.

It is a fact that at one point in time or another nearly all entrepreneurs need a bank business loan, either to start up the enterprise, expend it, or to bridge difficult times when the consumer turns fickle. Of the many lenders and types of loans available, a bank business loan will probably be the best bet for starting the venture. A bank business loan is often the best way to establish and maintain your venture's credit rating, if it is fastidiously r

As more and more people seek to make their fortunes by starting their own business, there has been an increase in interest in finding the perfect business partner. The right business partner can make all the difference in the world, and an experienced partner can be a godsend for any new business venture. It is important for any potential entrepreneur to explore his or her options when it comes to business financing and partnership arrangements.Wh

Passion is lost when we are not working in our gifts and strengths. If you were created to be a teacher and share your love of learning with the world, no matter how hard you try you will never feel passion when you are selling office equipment. Conversely, the born sales person will never feel their passion teaching history to the next generation.
The problem is that even after we have heard what the chocolate chip cookies are trying to tell us, many of us remain stuck in the cycle of indulgence. Yes, you heard your 10th cookie telling you that you don’t want to sell any more copiers, but you ignore that little voice because you don’t know how to put away the cookies and find your true passion.
Well, that is one of the purposes of career coaching. Career coaches act as guides on a journey of greater self-awareness and clarity. Coaches help you to find your true passion, and then help you to create an action plan to get from where you are to where you want to be in your career and in your life. Once you are working in your strengths you will find you are fully engaged in your work, loving what you do each day, and you haven’t eaten “your 10th chocolate chip cookie” in weeks.
