Tips for Researching a Franchise Business
A franchise operation can be an excellent investment for people dreaming of self-employment. Franchise opportunities fall into three basic categories: Product, Service and Wholesale Distribution. The franchise you select must be one that will maintain your interest through years to come. Not even a lucrative franchise opportunity will work for you if you find the business dull or boring. However, like all business opportunities, there are risks involved. You'll minimize the risks by doing your homework before you sign on the dotted line.

Some Advertising Is Doomed To Fail - Find Out Why
When people are concerned about the lack of response to their advertising, usually they complain about one of two things. They either say, "I put it in all the popular ezines but nobody responded" or "I followed all the copywriting 'rules' but didn't even get one sale."

Bioterrorism Affects Email
At a time when critical issues of national importance are being discussed in basement rooms at the US Capitol due to Anthrax laced letters sent to government offices, email has become more important than ever for person-to-person communications. Bioterrorism has now impacted even email. No worry that you'll get sick when you next check your email inbox since terrorists have not yet figured out how to send those powdery spores via email attachments (digitizing Anthrax spores seems to kill the little critters).

Never Give 100%
An old boss of mine, years ago, said "Never give 100%. Anyone can do that. Give 5% more and you'll be twice as good as everyone else."
Now, his math may have been suspect, but his advice is as valid now as it was then.

Basic Security for Your End Users
The first thing that I see as a problem usually does not involve expert cracking. Freely available on the internet are many programs that focus on specific vulnerabilities in a particular operating system, protocol or other feature of your network. Most cracks involve something as simple as a Trojan horse, which will leave a backdoor account open to the cracker. Young teenagers have been known to utilize such tools effectively, even against some corporate giants.

Cashing Out... What is Your Business Really Worth?
Question: What is your business REALLY worth? Answer: Whatever someone else is willing to pay for it at the time.
That's a true statement as far as it goes but it doesn't take into account that the way you arrive at a value for your business can give you much-needed ammunition when it comes to justifying your asking price and therefore allow you to influence what the prospective purchaser is willing to pay.

Haven’t You Waited Long Enough to Get Paid?
Business-to-business debt collecting is a different ball game compared to collecting from an individual debtor. Once a business debtor has owed you for quite awhile it's perfectly OK to take the gloves off and go all in an effort to get the Money. After all, things have reached the point where you wouldn't do business with that outfit again anyway so you have nothing more to lose! But first, be clear about what your objective is: getting the balance owed to you paid in full. Don't be willing to accept anything short of that. .

Is M-Commerce in our Immediate Future?
WAP (wireless application protocol) and other forms of m-commerce applications are being touted as the new revolutions in communications and e-commerce. The companies supporting it, however, are the same ones who brought us the Internet revolution; remember that? We were promised that e-commerce would dramatically change the way are we work, shop, and play. Has it? No. Will it? Possibly, but only when it is more convenient, efficient, and useful to shop the Internet than to use traditional means. This requires usability, reliability, and most of all, fast connections, to be better than what we are used to. If the Internet were as easy to surf as cable, for instance, e-commerce would be immensely more popular. However, developing the infrastructure to accomplish this is too costly and time consuming, as many upstart telecoms will attest to.

5 Key Factors to Consider When Selecting an Outplacement Firm
With today's economy, more and more companies are finding themselves faced with the situation of having to reduce headcount to remain competitive. Here are five key factors to consider when selecting an outplacement firm if your company is ever faced with a workforce reduction.
1. Types of Services Provided.
One decision you will need to make regarding outplacement is whether your displaced workers would benefit most from group or individual one-on-one outplacement. For the majority of outplaced employees, if your budget permits, individual outplacement is the preferred option since it provides one-on-one support that will help them move forward more quickly than they would on their own.

The Power of Simple Awareness
In reading Dr. Cohen's article "Stuck? Frustrated? Going Bananas?" I was struck by one line, "We're too busy trying to make things happen in our favor rather than naturally let things happen in our favor." That line carried me back to basics, back to the concept of simple awareness.

Taking Inventory of Your Business
Bar codes and scanner technology were first seen commercially in large retail chains, but have become so commonplace that large stores now offer checkout lines where you scan your own products for purchase. Almost all large businesses keep track of inventory using some sort of bar code tagging, and this technology has trickled down into the small business and customer sector. Can you use this technology, however? While pricing and actual store purchasing requires a sophisticated link between scanner, cash drawer, and database, using bar codes to keep up with equipment, or keep an eye on inventory levels is relatively simple.
