Why you need a business plan!!! Q: In last week’s column, you gave advice about starting a business, and you kept preaching about writing a business plan.

8). Coaching covers a variety of areas and it helps to be aware of them all By : Lorraine Dawse
Coaching can cover many different areas from sport to business and it is essential that you make yourself aware of coaching in general before you get involved in a single area. If you joined a sport in grade school you had a coach explain to you the rules and the best strategy to use to help win the game. In high school you had this same advantage, but once you reach the grown up world you may think you don't have this advantage anymore.

Over the last 6years I have presented to nearly 30,000 delegates and a wide variety of audiences and what I have learnt beyond doubt is that about 99% of them don’t like business networking. “I feel uncomfortable entering a room full of people I don’t know.” “I get nervous when I see an invitation I ought to accept” are just two of the comments I hear.

10). Are You "Shooting" Your Marketing Dollars with a Shotgun or a Rifle and WHAT's the Difference? By : Sandra P. Martini
Copyright 2006 Sandra P. Martini In marketing your services or widgets, what approach do you use? Do you scatter your marketing efforts over a range hoping to hit something? Or do you take careful aim, hitting the target more times than not? Shotgun Marketing Gun aficionados are going to shoot me here (no pun intended), but whenever I use the term “Shotgun Marketing”, I have this vision of Al Pacino blasting away in Scarface – I’m repeatedly told that he does not use a “shotgun”, but you get the idea.

13). Tracking For Profits By : Paul Lemberg
If you can't track it, don't do it. Every high-performance venture needs a tracking system. A tracking system with well-designed metrics lets everyone know how well they are doing relative to their commitments. It is a guide to whether additional or extraordinary actions need to be taken. It is one of the first things I set up with my business coaching clients because without a clear set of objective metrics it is hard for people to be clear about their results.

15). Who's Watching YOUR Money? 7 Tips for Hiring the Right Bookkeeper By : Sandra P. Martini
Copyright 2006 Sandra P. Martini While I’m a strong advocate of hiring virtual assistants, there are two things that no entrepreneur should ever fully delegate: marketing and bookkeeping. The marketing and the bookkeeping of your business can easily make or break you (just think “new” Coke and Enron). That said, if bookkeeping is not your forte, hire someone to do it – you will save so much in frustration – just be sure to keep your fingers in the books.

18). What One Thing? By : Paul Lemberg
A few weeks ago I asked my readers what the most important issue was in their business. Hundreds responded with a variety of answers, but one of the most common was, "How do I get everything that needs doing done?"

The good news is, if you are one of those fortunate few with access to unlimited resources, you can get everything done.

19). Seven Keys To Get Out Of A Rut By : Paul Lemberg
Rut -- a routine procedure, situation, or way of life that has become uninteresting and tiresome... And not surprisingly, unprofitable. They say a rut is a shallow grave with two open ends. The good news (good news?!) is that the ends ARE still open, which means if you act fast, you just might out of it. How do we get into these ruts anyway? Who would voluntarily lie down in that grave, shallow or otherwise? Dr.

24). Thinking About Thinking - Part 1of 2 By : Paul Lemberg
How much time do you spend just thinking? Take a guess - how much during any given day, week or month? I'm don't mean the kind of thinking you do while driving in your car, commuting on the train, during your morning run, or even in the shower. I'm referring to the kind of thinking you do ensconced in your office, or your den, or perhaps your garden.

Often you can find them through analytical thinking.
