I hear excuses all the time. Well, I just used to think then ” keep doing this and you will do me a great favor because you can be my competition, let alone setting up a business”. If this did not hit you yet, I was just wondering if you could do yourself a favour by checking out this slide show at www.inc.com. I really loved the kind of profiles that were listed here, all those inspirtional profiles should do the honours of making you go insane and ‘Hari Sadu” …

Out of all the businesses I know of, selling products doesn’t seem to augur well as the best possible business to do, although it happens to be one of the oldest businesses around. Well, the products were needed then and there used to be this ‘I make products, you buy them’ approach to marketing of these products. Today customer’s have choices and any slight imperfection in the product features, dimensions or anything for that matter is bound to bury the product’s future right there 6 feet below.
While that is still …

I was just surfing and I came across this particular video wherein entrepreneurs share their point of view on how to clinch that sale from your customers. You don’t have to be a shady sales person, you just have to believe in what you are selling and make sure that you are able to sell ‘Yourself’ first.
Well, here is the video.

I hope you liked and learned something from it. Most of us don’t like it, but then, without a sale, you will never see any cash. eh?

Well, now that I have your attention. I haven’t got a great idea yet. I am contemplating and trying to conjure up as many as I can. You can call it Mono-Brainstorming. My journey started this year when I had finally left the corporate world to explore the rigid, rocky but very adventurous terrains of entrepreneurship.
Though I had started off as a corporate trainer delving into coaching, training and motivating people on improving their soft-skills like communication, personalities, grooming them for employability. Along the way, I had touched some …

We need to get some facts clear and quick. I have nothing against the Multi-Level marketing or network marketing companies that are truly global and usually have an admirable line up of products that are of immaculate quality, albeit, expensive ( Well, you get what you pay for!). I had been ( I still am!) a part of a couple of such amazing companies whose products I have come to love and get used to.
However, I am deeply concerned about these get-rich-quick, money-makes-money type of schemes which have no …

The small business man, the rookie, the starter and the tyro – psst…tell you what? They all have a problem. Guess what that could be? They built it, but they need people to come and watch the show. They have their sites running and even rocking but then, they need some eyeballs to witness the fireworks. Just how in the name of marketing gods, if any, do they do it? Now, if they had money to spare, there are some awesome ways to do it – Throw money, watch the …

It is just that I had, like most people usually are, been a victim to an endless flood of emails and other marketing messages. However, I choose not to vituperate against these messages. C’mon, I am a shameless marketer myself and my brothers just need me to support their otherwise highly ignored message. That brings me to my point immediately, no hemming and hawing.
Why do these messages never fail to BORE their target audience?

I found an email which talks about two “wolves” which  always seem to be at a raging battle within all of us, this little story has a profound meaning and I thought I should share it with you :
Two Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said,
“My son, the battle is between 2 “wolves” inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is …

Home business owners usually face this dilemma – How the hell are they supposed to let the world know that their website or physical retail store is on and functioning?
Well, you see the problem lies not really with the fact that there is a dearth of space or a chance to let the world know, it is only there is a severe mindset problem here that every entrepreneur has to battle with. There is a strong resistance to work hard, to assimilate information, to know new things and to ride on any stretched …

I was just browsing through and stumbled upon this particular video which explains how to set up your blog with affiliate marketing in mind.
Take a look at it here…

As it goes with everything else we has spoken about. It is a back breaking journey being a blogger. Hell, living life is back breaking anyway.

This morning, I cashed a monthly commission check for $3. It was from an affiliate program I joined over three years ago.
At the same time I made that deposit, I cashed two more monthly affiliate checks. The others were in the amount of $2,620 and $4,610.
Now before I continue, I want to make one thing clear. This article will NOT try to drag …

I know the ubiquitous question that is on everyone’s mind. How the hell are you supposed to know what is fraud and what is not. What does the whole world of the Internet feel about the product or business opportunity that you had just been pitched on. I was just surfing around when I came across the watch dog. I am not sure if it has all the business opportunities listed, but then, it does have at least the popular ones.  See if it can save your skin, ladies and …

It’s appalling to see that we all get ready to plunge deep into the world of business without the mindset that is expected of an entrepreneur, especially a budding one. One of the most important factors when it comes to business is information. The right knowledge. Unfortunately most of us are spoon-fed here. Our knowledge is usually limited only to whatever-you-learn-our daddies. How quaint !
Look across any of those self-made multi-billionaires and pompous, but still hard working millionaires and you will notice a single trait almost all of them have …

I had scouring the web for the past 4 years now trying to look through the haystack and find that all too rare job opportunity for a few friends of mine who really don’t want to take the plunge and get into a part time/full time business or anything remotely that risky. Of course, if you wanted to put your hands on anything, Google would have shown you a million sites which apparently would do nothing but shout SCAM and nothing else. Here is what I had found…
