Plan or be Planned For

hlevin09 writes "At a recent seminar, I saw the phrase “Plan, or be Planned For”. I realized that this phrase is the essence of One Page Business Planning. As a business owner, you can either act on your plans or react to events as they happen. In previous articles I’ve written about the need for pilots to have flight plans and how business plans are like flight plans for business owners. Yet, most business owners operate without a “flight plan” and I’ve wondered why."

Eight Mistakes to Avoid When Naming a New Business

amichalek writes "By Phillip Davis

Naming a business is like laying the cornerstone of a building. Once it's in place, the entire foundation and structure is aligned to that original stone. If it's off, the rest of the building is off, and the misalignment becomes amplified. So if you have that gnawing sense that choosing a name for your new business is vitally important -- you're right. With 18 years in the naming and branding business, I've witnessed the good, the bad, and the really bad. Here's how you can avoid the worst of the mistakes and get off to a good start."

E-Book Writing Formats: How to Make the Words Flow

DGiolitto writes "Nervous about writing your first e-book? Never fear. E-books are written in a conversational, informative style that's easy for the reader to understand, and easy for you to imitate as you write them. Whether it's ten pages about Smart Finances, 50 pages on How to Care for Your Cat or 250 pages covering Secrets of the World's Best Yoga Masters, there are several e-book formats you can write to that are thought-provoking enough to get your words flowing, and flexible enough to make them as long or short as you like. Each of these formats is extremely appealing to the readers for its breezy, informative style."

Top Ten Mistakes Made In The First Few Years of Business

cfranz writes "By Business Coach, Catherine Franz

Consultants, coaches, accountants, engineers, and other solopreneurs starting a service business, make common mistakes that cost them to be ineffective with their resources. In turn, these mistakes bring on a slow, frustrating success or even force them to remove their shingle because they run out of resources, normally money.

You would think with all the training and knowledge now available that these individuals would be making fewer mistakes. Actually, 2004 had a large increase in business failures due to selling a service before they cultivated their service.

You will want to see if any of these items are biting into your assets. You will want to be honest here. "
