Complacency Soufflé Even those of us that don't cook understand the delicate balance required between mixing the ingredients and environment to prevent a soufflé from caving in. The same balance is required in managing our careers. There is a big difference between walking a tight rope and walking on a 4" balance beam. Which one we walk on, is totally in our power to control. Read more . . . SMART TECHNOLOGY: Your Phone is a Cash Register Time and specialized knowledge are our most valuable commodities. If we don't place a value on our time, then people won't value it either. Over time we each gain a certain amount of expertise, which we usually give away for free. Then there are clients or customers who call on a whim for information, which benefits them or the profits of their company. After the call, we scratch our heads trying to figure out how we can recoup the time we lost by not charging for telephone time. Now there is a way to place a monetary value on the information you provide to people, over the phone or through email. Read more . . . Niche and Specialist Rhyme In any industry, higher incomes are granted to people who specialize in their field. Specialists usually create their own niche market. Read more . . . Show Me the Money For Your Project by Phyllis Shelton Do you know that "Grant Money" is available just for the asking? Companies such as Verizon, Con Edison, JP Morgan Chase, Prudential, Tommy Hilfiger, private foundations, state and federal programs have Grant Money available for your business or project. Read more . . . Blog for Profit Powerful Marketing Tool and Profit Center With anyone being able to create a Blog, the Internet is changing the way people interact. A blog can be used as a "no cost" marketing tool to attract buisness or blogging can be a profitable business endeavor. Providing people with valuable information, keeps them coming back for more. A blog also establishes the author as an expert in their field. Every article published gets syndicated around the world faster than a web site posting. The "Blogs to Riches" article in the February 20, 2006 issue of New York Magazine mentioned AOL purchasing Peter Rojas' blog Engadget for $25million - Not everyone will become a millionaire blogging. There is a potential for people to make 6-figure incomes blogging. How about making just $200 - $500 extra per month just for sharing some tid bits of information. The writing is on the wall. There was a practical application news item about Walmart getting cozy with bloggers in "Wal-Mart Enlists Bloggers in P.R. Campaign" By Michael Barbaro. Steve Rubel presents ongoing stories of blogging as a "prime time" public relations and marketing tool, which compliments a web site. By blogging, Steve brought in $10million worth of business to his company. Stop Networking Start Living Why does networking become a chore or doesn't seem as rewarding as we expect? Maybe it's because we're putting too much emphasis on networking. We're looking for a pay back result at that pre-appointed 6:00PM event. We absolutely, positively have to make a contact at that 6:00PM to 8:30PM social mixer or that professional widget lover's association meeting. Read more . . .

The Virtual Handsake is a powerful reference guide for quickly expanding your network of opportunities, using the Internet. More people have used the Internet to participate in an online group than to read news or even to buy something. Online social networks have enjoyed phenomenal growth in recent years, and every major
Internet portal now offers some kind of social networking or ?blogging? tool to its users.

But these tools are not just recreational, they are rapidly becoming essential tools for business. They are part of a "social software" toolkit that includes blogs, relationship capital management software, advanced contact managers, virtual communities, web conferencing, instant messaging, and much more.

"Voice Mail is a Marketing Tool; Yeah, Right" by Carl E. Reid

Concentrating time and effort on obvious marketing tools is important to succeed. This arsenal of marketing tools includes our wardrobe, communications skills and staying on top of other skills to maintain our personal marketing image.

Voicemail is an under utilized marketing tool. A well planned voice mail marketing campaign can continously pay Big dividends. Since we all hate going to voice mail, let's make the best of it to our advantage. As we are each a captive "voice mail"
audience, turn your position into a tactical business strategy.

"An Alternate View of Management vs. Leadership" by Lisa Haneberg

There is a shortage of great management in many of today's corporations. Perhaps the management vs. leadership mindset is one reason for this. Leadership is certainly
the "sexier" of the two and I wonder if some have abandoned developing excellent management skills because they want to be a leader.

To me, management refers to the responsibilities we have that are about taking care of business processes, planning, assignments, quality, productivity, and the alignment of the organization. Management is the practice of tending to regular and
emerging business needs. Management is the craft of tending to the details of the business in an engaged, proactive and results oriented manner.

Leadership refers to the responsibilities we have that are about influencing, inspiring, and enlivening our employees, peers, and customers. We demonstrate
leadership when we communicate in a compelling manner, encourage productive dialogue, and when we role model excellence.

Savvy Intrapreneur
Empowerment * Professionalism * Excellence

Hello [your name here when you subscribe],

There's a new wind blowing these days. The age of doing 20+ years at a job for a secure retirement has disappeared. Our feature article "Wake Up Call to Action" provides proof positive. Developing a career while maintaining position at work requires staying focused as a Savvy Intrapreneur. This takes courage.

An Intrapreneur thinks like an entrepreneur seeking out opportunities which, inevitably, benefit the corporation. A Savvy Intrapreneur steps out of the comfort zone of corporate security, to insure s/he creates additional income which at least
matches their take home pay. An Intrapreneur works overtime helping to run someone else's business, for the company's future. A Savvy Intrapreneur runs themselves like a business putting in 1 hour a day of overtime for their own financial future. Click
here to listen to a brief speech from a person we all know as an expert on courage. Then step out.

Wake Up Call to Action

Just like little day dreaming Calvin to the left, people
are in for a rude awakening if they think traditional
ways of working or previous job trends will stay the
same. Now is the time to take action by
proactively running your career like a
business, while you still have a choice.
According to
a recent report by the U.S. Department
of Labor (DOL), today, few workers can count on
spending their entire careers within one company,
and the average person will change jobs nine
times or
more before the age of 32. Full-time, stable,
long-
term employment arrangements will continue to
decline. Instead, a growing number of workers will
be part-timers, temporaries, consultants, or
contractors.

Many workers are struggling to meet their
family obligations, which have expanded in many
cases to taking care of their elderly parents.
Consequently, the need to balance work demands
and home life will continue to be a growing concern.

The DOL report further reinforces a startling fact.
As
the 21st Century unfolds, the American workforce will
be vastly different than it is today. Two
powerful
forces will transform the workforce and the manner in
which we work:



* A sharp increase in the demand for knowledge


* Greater use of alternate work arrangements that
do not fit the traditional work model

How to Use Online Networks to Market Your Business by David Teten and Scott Allen

A common mistake many marketers make when
dealing with
online communication is in thinking that it can be
turned on and off like an advertising campaign.
Online
networks are generally not very receptive to
marketing messages from brand new members.
You
must earn the right to talk about your product
through participation in and contribution to the
community. Similarly, you cannot simply leave when
the campaign is over, or you will be seen as shallow
and a ?user.? People do not want to be used; please
do not use people.

20 Entrepreneurs Under 35 and Doing Good in the Community

Young entrepreneurs want to do good as they do
well. The spread of the Silicon Valley
ethos around the globe isn?t the only lasting result of
the boom and bust. At least, not according to what
we?ve seen from Red Herring?s list of notable
Entrepreneurs Under 35. It?s a diverse list, to be
sure?from sharks who?ve managed to gain funding in
capital-challenged realms to those who seem truly
committed to changing society with their companies.
We didn?t pick the biggest moneymakers, or the
flashiest media darlings. Instead, Red Herring
consciously chose people who might be little known
outside the insular world of the business of
technology, or whose ideas, visions, or passions may
turn them into tomorrow?s leaders?a kinder Bill Gates,
a gentler Larry Ellison, a more huggable Steve Jobs,
perhaps (or not).

?There?s a new generation saying, ?I want to make
money, but I also want to do good.?? ? Andrew Zolli,
Z+ Partners

"Marketing Words of Wisdom from Thelonius Monk" by Phil Dunn

?The only cats worth anything are the cats that take
chances.? - Thelonius Monk

Half the celebrated marketing coups you hear about
originated with individuals that stepped outside the
lines and took some risks. They didn?t sit tight and
produce pedestrian advertising campaigns. They
didn?t check their personalities at the front door and
produce bland marketing campaigns.

SMART TECHNOLOGY: Make Jobs or Clients Come to You using a RSS Reader

Can life get any better? Imagine jobs or new
clients coming right to your computer? How about an
apartment rental or house for sale, in a neighborhood
your choose, being delivered to you? Wasting time
searching web sites or classified
ads is now eliminated. A RSS
reader is a powerful tool for bringing opportunities
right to you. Just tune your RSS reader
into those resource sites that display (i.e. www.pickajob.com,
www.Craigslist.com, www.Indeed.com). Then sit
back and let papa bring home the bacon, with
opportunies coming right to you. How cool is that?

Library of Congress Recognizes Emails as Periodicals

The Library of Congress recognizes newsletters,
weekly informational emails or regularly updated web
logs (blogs) as regular periodical publications. As a
periodical they are eligible for an ISSN or
International Standard Serial Number. They're the
equivalent of the ISBN you see on all books. With an
ISSN, you're listed in the official ISSN register. This is
an international database used by libraries and similar
organizations.

Having an ISSN indisputably places your electronic
periodical in the same category as Forbes, Time and
other magazine periodicals. This is a another
subtle way of pumping up the "marketing" volume to
enhance the tools that help each of us market the
busines called ME, Inc..

Although getting an ISSN is simple and free, few
email publications ever bother. But it does add
that little smidgeon of extra credibility to your
newsletter. Just visit the ISSN website and follow the

Don't Even Dream About Asking for a Raise . . . . . . . . by Carl E. Reid

Asking for a raise is not exclusive to employees. Self
employed consultants or companies that provide
services to a client can ask for a raise, as well. Why?
Because it's another unwritten rule we are
programmed to believe does not exist. If it were in
writing, then everybody would ask for a raise
whenever they
determined they deserved one. Now we can't have
that, can we?

As a an outside consultant, I have successfully
negotiated client fee raises for myself and consulting
companies that hired me. Once, I was dropped
abruptly from a consulting assignment. 4 days later
the client called me back. After a little negotiating,
the client agreed to pay higher fees from $14,000 to
$18,000 per month, plus expenses, for continuing the
engagement.

SMART TECHNOLOGY: Optimus OLED Keyboard

This information was just released in July 2005 by a
graphic design company in Russia. OLED display is a
self-luminous display that does not require a back-
light. Every key of the "wireless" Optimus keyboard is
a stand-alone display showing exactly what it is
being controlled at that moment. It's in its initial
stage of production. It is expected to be released in
2006. It will cost less than a good mobile phone.
Each key can be programmed, depending on the
software application being used. It will be an
open-source keyboard. SDK will be available for Mac
users. Keys use animation when needed.

Values 101 by John C. Maxwell

When the legendary John Wooden was coaching
basketball at UCLA, he seldom made home visits to
prospective players. He did make an occasional
exception, however, like the time he went to see an
extremely talented prospect who had great potential
to help his team.

Wooden had every intention of offering the player a
scholarship that night. In fact, all the necessary
paperwork was ready and waiting in the pocket of his
suit coat. But when he left the player's house later
that evening, the scholarship was still in his pocket.

Step Out 1 Inch

I recently provided phone coaching sessions to a
very sharp and ambitious Savvy Intrapreneur named
Helen. Her situation is probably similiar to many
people. She works at an organization where she isn't
being allowed to perform at her maximum potential.
There are co-workers that she did not choose, but
has to work with. And she receives a paycheck that
she does not agree with.

Helen takes full ownership for her situation. She does
not blame the organization, co-workers or
past experiences for her current situation. She
acknowledges that it is up to her to change things.
After a couple of phone coaching sessions,
Helen has made a commitment, to herself, that she
will begin taking action so this situation
never occurs again. By adjusting her thinking
by 1 inch, Helen has become a Savvy
Intrapreneur. Helen is now focused on improving
her situation at work, while developing other
opportunities for generating alternate income
producing profit centers.

Changing our perspective by 1 inch does require
stepping a little out of our comfort zone. What's
worse? Going to work everyday afraid of being fired
or going to work fearlessly as a Savvy Intrapreneur?
Consider this. If 35,000 people say it can't be done
and one person accomplishes it, who's right?

Over the years, I have had many jobs and consulting
clients. Not even once, was I ever afraid of being
fired. Stepping out 1 inch made all the difference.
Make today count by stepping out 1 inch!!

Carl E. Reid, Savvy Intrapreneur - http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=dnssucbab.0.0.7yyms8n6.0&p=http%3A%2F%2Fcareercoachingcompass.7h.com%2Fwhats_new.html

Positive Affirmations Don't Work

This is an excerpt from an article by Allen Says.
It's a good example of 1 inch thinking. Allen takes a
good idea for getting what we want out of life and he
makes the idea work better for achieving tangible
results.

The old success method of "Acting As If", almost had
it right. This idea, this concept, was like taking
the "Acting As If" method and making it a
guaranteed, foolproof success strategy that simply
could not fail if put into action with absolute sincerity.

That vast majority of people who have tried
the "Acting As If" method did it with the idea
that they where "Affirming" something.
Somewhere along the line the Acting As If method
got mixed up with Affirmations. For most people,
affirmations are a hopeless exercise doomed to
fail. . . .

"How would you Act and Feel if you
already had everything you wanted?" Notice that you
are not Affirming anything that's untrue. You are not
affirming anything at all. You are simply
Modeling the state of mind and body you
would have IF you had what you want.


* How would you think?

* How would you act?

* How would you feel?

* How would you talk?

* How would you walk?

* How would you move?

* If You Already Had What You
Want?


What you are actually doing is removing every
block in your system that is blocking your true
potential, your energy, your intelligence, your
magnetism . . .

How to Get Slightly Famous by Steven Yoder

Some business owners attract clients and
customers like magnets. Their marketing seems
effortless. They don't advertise. They haven't made a
cold call in years. They charge more. They're
regularly asked to speak at conferences and are
featured in newspapers and magazines. Everyone
knows their name, and they get all the business they
can handle.

It's almost as though they were famous.

In fact, they are, but not in the way movie stars and
top athletes are famous--they're just slightly famous.
Just famous enough to make their names come to
mind when people are looking for a particular product
or service. They get more business-not only more,
but the right kind of business-and they don't have to
work so hard to get it.

"Never Eat Alone"

Written by Keith Ferrazzi & Tahl Raz, this book is
excellent reading recommended by networking guru
and founder of
ETP
Network, Rod Colon (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=dnssucbab.0.0.7yyms8n6.0&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.etpnetwork.com). Keith Ferrazzi is the
youngest partner in Deloitte Consulting's history and
founder of the consulting company Ferrazzi
Greenlight. The author quickly aims in this useful
volume to distinguish his networking techniques from
generic handshakes and business cards tossed like
confetti. At conferences, Ferrazzi practices what he
calls the "deep bump" - a "fast and meaningful" slice
of intimacy that reveals his uniqueness to
interlocutors and quickly forges the kind of emotional
connection through which trust, and lots of business,
can soon follow.

SMART TECHNOLOGY - Disposable Email Addresses

You just met someone, but you're not sure if you
should give them your actual email address. No
problem. Give them a disposable email address. Check
it online, later. You can give your real email address,
only after checking what a person has to offer at the
disposable email address. This eliminates spam, in
case you do not want to communicate further.

FREE Business & Career Coaching

Do I need a Coach?
You may have noticed one of the latest trends in
career management is to have your own career
coach. It's not really a new concept. Executives,
entertainers and sports professionals
have known for years the value of
investing in the expertise of a personal coaching
professional. You may still wonder, "What's a career
or business coach?" and more importantly, "Do I
need one?"

The best way to illustrate the value of a career or
business coach is to compare them to personal
trainers. Anyone can go to a gym and work out.
Having a personal trainer is not a prerequisite to
fitness. The value of a personal trainer is that he/she
helps their client achieve their fitness goal quicker
and with better results. Similarly, a coach
accelerates the job search or business expansion
process resulting in significantly higher income.
