Nothing happens until someone makes a sale.Absolutely %$#&! nothing.The importance of sales skills to a startup cannot be overplayed. If you don't have someone on board who can sell and enjoy doing so, you are dead in the water.

Here's what I have learned in my 15 years as an entrepreneur. Change is constant. The road I started on is definitely not the road I am on now....nor would I have guessed it would be mentally prepared for ups and downs.

It's how people ...clients/suppliers, employees and investors view you, form opinions of you and ultimately decide whether they want to do business with you.Never launch a business without understanding what you want your brand to represent and agreeing that you can create

I love the song by Miley Cyrus "The Climb." It should be the entrepreneur's anthem because it so reflects the journey we all take.

If you will recall I invested in a system which not only provides me with the tools to set up a business on the internet but also teaches me how to then properly market that business.

In my 15 years of forging my own way in business...there are really three things that you must have to be successful.....only three1. A "can-do" attitude2. A system that allows you to work in your business if you want to..not because you have to.3. Self funded growth...created by the first 2.That's it!!! My successes have all come from these three things.Happy Trails!Rivers

I love when I come across something that I learned awhile ago but didn't take the time to really appreciate the value. Today is one of those days when it comes to appreciate the value of attraction marketing...doing business with people instead of products/companies.I mean how many times have we said we will never go back to a place again because the service was soooo bad OR the exact opposite...

So in yesterday's post I signed up for my internet marketing course, mind you this time, much more educated than the last time on the hazards along the way.The company gave me a 30 day trial period for $29. As part of any marketing....suggestive selling is part of the upsell process and this company did not disappoint. In the signup process there were many opportunities for bonuses at great

I read something very cool the other day and it said..,"Farmers don't eat your seeds" What this simple sentence was ultimately saying is that even in the toughest of times it is very important that you don;t sacrifice the seeds of prosperity (knowledge) for the easy way out. Farmers don't eat their seeds when they have a bad crop or a bad storm, they plant them again and again. So...even

By Randy Gage! I said the most powerful prosperity force in the universe is faith. With faith, you can manifest abundance in the physical realm. I also said that prosperity comes because you believe in it, believe you are worthy of it, and finally, expect it to manifest. When you understand these three truths, you now graduate into the practical application of faith in action.Your faith in

(Taken from an email written from one friend to another) "There is absolutely nothing new about entrepreneurship. It's been around for thousands of years. The problem is our entire society has been educated into thinking that bigger is better - so we sit back and wait to be waited on, plus, when we were in school, the emphasis was always "When you go to work for someone else...", NEVER was it "

Why restaurants typically fail!Here are but a few reasons:1. Inability to adapt to changes and optimizing opportunities,competition.2. Lack of exposure and experience3. Lack of knowledge on business, food and operations.4.

Highs and Lows As an entrepreneur you have to learn that this journey is like riding a roller coaster NOT a merry go round. We don't have the luxury of simply turning off the clock and letting someone else worry about things. We don't have the luxury of saying ..oh..look its coffee time and then going for a coffee. We don't have the luxury of getting unemployment if we lose our business. BUT.

Choosing Mediocrity or AbundanceBy Randy GageLast post we discussed the common belief that prosperity comes from reducing your desires to be happy with what you have. I told you I thought that was craziness. Here’s why…That kind of lack thinking is what keeps people in mediocrity. Real abundance comes from striving for more, daring to be bold, daring and imaginative. Innovation happens.

As many of you know I run multiple businesses and I am fanatic about client service. Treat people well and they will treat you well...I tell my team. I talk about this today because it seems that common courtesy has become the exception rather than the rule these days. I am reminded of my friend Krista's comment when she said "we grow up being taught to say please and thank-you..yet for some

My son Jamie is sick today..actually he has been sick all week. I don't like to see him sick but it is what it is... What struck me today is how I was pulled between my business family and my home family. It was an interesting situation.. Work was cwazy busy. I just launched Relish Gourmet Burgers this week (www.RelishMe.ca) and there were clients at our place. And I so much love our clients.

Remember what it felt like when you were a kid about to go on a vacation? The feeling of anticipation leading up to the vacation..eager to get it started...and then...the thrill of being on your way! Yesterday was that for me. We finally opened Relish Gourmet Burgers (www.RelishMe.ca) to a wonderful beginning of a trip. Certainly not a vacation :) but a journey none the less. The anticipation

5 Vicious Lies about Being an Entrepreneurby Stacy Karacostas Let’s face it, most entrepreneurs—myself included—start out doing something we know or something we love. But that doesn’t mean we know a thing about running or growing a business. Worse, much of what we hear about running a business before we start is just plain wrong. Below are five pieces of advice that took me 12 years and four

This team is a small group of people across our great province..about 12 of us...who have been requested to generate $10,000 for cancer "victims" across New Brunswick. I couldn't be happier to do it.
