<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kingd/4419710289/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4061/4419710289_4c1f4470b5_o.jpg" width="176" height="240" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;Each day, a large number of internet users visit an online video website. In fact, many internet users visit more than one.  Online video websites are websites that allow internet users to make, upload, and share their own unique video creations.  One of those sites is known as YouTube.  If you are looking to use online video websites, such as YouTube, for entertainment, you are in luck.  Online, you can find thousands, if not millions of videos that are available for your watch, often free of charge.</p>
<p>If you have never visited the YouTube website, you may be wondering what type of videos you can find online. With YouTube, most of the videos that you will find online are considered homemade movies.  This is because these movies are made by traditional internet users, ones just like you.  Since each internet user is likely to have different interests or experiences in a particular field, topic, or subject, you are sure to find a large selection of videos on YouTube.</p>
<p>YouTube makes video watching easy.  They do this by placing their videos into categories.  You can easily find online videos by examining the ones that are viewed the most, the ones that are rated the highest, or the ones that have the most comments. In addition to those categories, you will also find categories that breakdown videos into specific subject categories, based on video content.  </p>
<p>One of those categories is comedy.  Comedy, perhaps, is the most popular YouTube category.  This is because most individuals use online video websites to be entertained.  What better way to receive that entertainment than with an online video that leaves you laughing hysterically?  Comedy videos may include, but should not be limited to, funny comments, comedy club appearances, staged skits, and even unscripted recordings.  </p>
<p>Pets and animals is another one of the many categories that you can find on YouTube.  These videos are great for those who love animals.  A wide variety of different animals are featured on YouTube videos including cats, dogs, horses, rabbits, and birds.  Many of these videos can also be considered comedy videos because many of the videos focus on animals that have special, but funny talents.  Additional videos feature professional shows, such as dog shows or horse shows.</p>
<p>YouTube also has a category that is labeled travel and places.  The travel and places videos often include videos that vacationers have shot when they were in another area of the world.  Popular video locations are ones that are outside of the United States, but you will also find videos that focus on areas inside the United States.  In addition to filming interesting or historical locations, many videos have a focus on traditional events or activities.  It is not uncommon to find videos on YouTube that outline a particular festival or contest.  </p>
<p>Entertainment is another category found on YouTube.  This category covers a wide variety of different online videos.  Many individuals have created videos that they feel are a source of entertainment, while others have a focus on real entertainment, such as television shows.  It is not uncommon to find a collection of scenes, accompanied by music, of popular television shows, soap operas, and movies.  </p>
<p>Although music often falls into the category of entertainment, YouTube gives it its own category.  Many of the videos found on YouTube, with a focus on music, are created by those who are documenting themselves or their friends singing or participating in singing contents.  What is nice about YouTube is that they also have a special program for up and coming musicians.  This feature allows musicians to make their own music videos and share them with other internet users. This means that not only will you get to see an online video for free, but you may be alerted to a new band, that you otherwise never would have heard of.</p>
<p>The above mentioned categories are just a few of the many that you can found on YouTube. Additional categories include arts and animation, autos and vehicles, news and blogs, people, sports, and science and technology.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/astama/4419904299/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4012/4419904299_5817ed3628_o.png" width="240" height="150" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;This is one virtue a site must possess to lead the race in the ruthless competition in the Internet based business. With so many competition and rivalry going on, every method of marketing must be employed and utilized. </p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter if you have a killer product or a fantastically designed website, if people don&#8217;t know that you exist, it doesn&#8217;t matter, and you are not going to make it big. Worse of all, you business could just get killed. </p>
<p>While there are so many methods and schemes used by so many e-commerce sites today, there are still some of those that can help you with an extra boost in the popularity ratings. One of these is the so called Viral Marketing. </p>
<p>While the term Viral easily depicts a virus, a word very much dreaded by all computer owners, it is not what it seems. You do not actually use a computer virus to spread your business; on the contrary it just might kill you. Everyone has had enough of all those pop up ads and spywares. </p>
<p>Viral Marketing Overview</p>
<p>Viral Marketing also known otherwise as Viral Advertising is a marketing technique used to build the public awareness of one&#8217;s product or company. They use many forms of media to reach out to the public without actually promoting the product by riding on in other forms of addictive means that could get a person hooked and be obliged or amused to actually pass it on, with the product or company advertisement along with it. </p>
<p>In a nutshell, companies ride on the idea that if people like the content of a media they will pass it on to their friends and family. They sponsor the certain media, such as a cool flash game, funny video, amusing story and such, which one may pass on to another with the company brand or logo or the products description or any other content to help promote the company or its product. </p>
<p>Viral marketing has become a popular means of advertising and marketing because they are relatively low cost. To avoid being tagged as spam mail, viral marketing counts on the eagerness of one person to pas on the product. If a person sees the name of the person they know as the sender, they won&#8217;t block it and open it as well. </p>
<p>Many companies offer incentives such as discounts and rebates when they help in spreading their viral marketing. They rely on the number of recipients a viral marketing gets from one person in determining the amount or number of incentive they can be attributed with. </p>
<p>Using Viral Marketing to your advantage</p>
<p>The main and foremost advantage of viral marketing is that you get a lot of publicity and public awareness about your site and your company. You get to generate a flow of traffic that are potential customers. With a little ingenuity and imagination, plus some incentives or prizes, you can reach out to a great number of people and announce your existence.</p>
<p>Most every site and companies are catching on to the effectivity of Viral Marketing and Advertising. Not using it could kill your business. Along with other schemes and methods in promoting your site, like Search Engine Optimization and such, viral marketing could easily push you ahead in the rating games. </p>
<p>Viral Marketing could be a sneaky way to get people to know about you and your company. You get them to pass your advertisement along. They are also very low cost that not investing in it could be downright a business suicide. All it takes is a great idea, a good addicting game, a funny story many ideas are still out there. Create a gossip or a buzz, many movies are promoted by using scandals and gossips to make them moir popular. Remember the movie &#8220;The Blair Witch Project&#8221;?</p>
<p>Many big companies have tried viral marketing and have had many success stories with it. A classic example is Microsoft&#8217;s Hotmail. They were the first known big company to utilize the scheme and it has worked wonders for them. </p>
<p>Now it&#8217;s your turn to use viral marketing to work wonders for you. Act now and reap the benefits Viral Marketing will provide for you and your sales figures.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/summerrunner/4416734346/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4011/4416734346_a502c87eed_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;Are you convinced you certainly you want any more home business Internet marketing tip? Strategies on developing your Home based marketing business are exceptionally well well-known. And newbies who are just starting out to build their home business Internet marketing businesses can really profit from these tips. What if I could give you five of the time-tested information the professionals use to build their businesses?. While, of course, there are exceptions even to the advice given here, generally these tricks will help you build a stronger, longer-lasting business.</p>
<p>Pro Tip 1: Select A Small Community Of Dedicated Networkers Over A Broader Network</p>
<p>Have you heard this statement before or perhaps read it somewhere: work smarter, not harder? It is  a very straightforward tip: There is only a handful of people who actually succeed at nework marketing when they work harder as opposed to working smarter. You see a lot marketers believe, (and even preach) that you have to recruit a huge downline of consultants of tens of thousands of people in order to be successful. In truth, if they instead focused their energy on convincing a select group of 20-30 people to join their downline, their business will be invariably stronger. For home based Internet marketing business recruits to be truly effective, they need mentoring, and it is virtually impossible for one person to adequately mentor hundreds or thousands of people.</p>
<p>Tip 2: Your Sales Pitch Is Your Main WeaponYou Should Be Constantly Be Refining And Perfecting It</p>
<p>This tip should be obvious, but one need only look at most pitches to understand how commonly it is ignored. This is a matter of logic and practicality: Since your strategy is to recruit the best people you possible can, the tools you use to make those connections should be one of your primary concerns. Your sales pitch is the major vehicle you have to bring people to you and attract them to your opportunities. It therefore makes obvious sense that you spend most of your time and energy fine-tuning it to make it perfect.</p>
<p>Tip 3: Youre Not Just Selling Your Business, Youre Selling Yourself</p>
<p>No tip can help if you havent yet learned to sell not only your opportunities, but also yourself. Network marketing relies a great deal on interpersonal connection, and while a lot of home business Internet marketing opportunity advice focuses on better ways to promote your business, you also need to work on presenting yourself in a positive light. It boils down to this: if you come across as open, trustworthy and comfortable to  system with, and you can attract them with your persona, it&#8217;s much more easier to attract them to your opportunity once they come to know you. Conversely, if people do not find you friendly, open, and trustworthy, even the best sales pitch in the world will leave you fighting an uphill battle.</p>
<p>Pro Tip 4: Pros Play The Game To Their Strengths</p>
<p>Perhaps the least appealing of these marketing tricks, but nonetheless well worth abiding by, is to take the time to identify and examine not only your strengths, but also your weaknesses. Some of the weaknesses you may have can be dealt with. However, with some you simply have to stay from situations that will make your weaknesses flair up and play up the game to your strengths or abilities. And don&#8217;t be disappointed if you discover your weaknesses. We all have them. The pros just learn to manage themselves to stay focused. If there is a real issue that is undoing your progress in your business, let your mentor or sponsor help deal with it. Since they have a financial stake in your success, they will find it easy to do this.</p>
<p>Pro Tip 5: Never Throw In The Towel<br />
<br />I saved the best for the last. The most basic Internet marketing tip, in fact anyone can give you is this: Never give up. The game is not over until you have WON and smiling all the way to the bank. Some people will tell you that failure is not an option. To some extent this is true. But to a very large extent you had better be prepared to fail your to the top of your business. Sucess is usually found on the other side of failure, and being able to stay at the game, completing your projects is a trademark of all professionals in home based Internet marketing business. This is what characterises every who experiences great successes. Keep trying until it works.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/paulsmiths/4416677521/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4048/4416677521_b4949b2ec0_o.jpg" width="160" height="240" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;Just like a normal store or enterprise, a online based business markets some type of merchandise or service with the goal of creating a profit. The merchandise or service is the target; the online element is the way of reaching out to consumers. With web based company, the actual sale of items and services may now be directed at the international marketplace, rather than being restricted to the scope associated with postal companies, broadcast radio &#038; TV, papers and word of mouth.</p>
<p>Creating a passionate interest in something is usually the best driving force for starting up a home based business. Actually, many of today&#8217;s flourishing web marketing experts started off by simply placing their hobby online. Along the way, something fired up and some of these hobbyists became certain that a home company income could possibly be pulled off using their efforts simply by providing the products as well as services desired by some people. Passion converted their particular interest into a small business and took them over the limitations along the route to profitability and personal satisfaction that comes with their own online based marketing company.</p>
<p>You will need a level of dedication as well as due diligence in order to be cut out for an Internet based marketing and advertising company. Turning a leisure activity into an Internet enterprise is certainly not without disappointments, problems and short-term problems will be experienced. If you have made the decision to begin a home based enterprise that will not genuinely interest you, you could very well stop as soon as the going gets tough. Having determination and a long term perspective of a advantageous dream or vision may carry an online based marketing enterprise past the barriers to long-term accomplishment.</p>
<p>Business preparing by itself is usually a separate subject matter. It&#8217;s certainly not easy to make money online without a plan. When you want to turn that interest into a company, you must plan it out and work it just like a company for you to make it through the transition. Adjustments appear faster and faster with every single new technology, innovation and also sociable connections. Spend some of your time in taking part in no cost along with paid forums, groups associated with subject specific memberships prefer to monitor the latest reports and discoveries in Internet marketing. Turning out to be skilled and proficient in an Internet based marketing business means committing yourself to constant learning and adjusting. The following are a couple of online enterprise start up suggestions you need to learn when starting a web enterprise:</p>
<p> Nearly all individuals utilize the World wide web in order to get information, not necessarily to shell out money.</p>
<p> People who do want to spend cash on the net know what they need in specific detail.</p>
<p> Customers can be incredibly self centered, when you do not have what these people want, they are gone within a split second. In the event that they decided to buy from you and are possibly not content, they will want an instant refund.</p>
<p> In the event your web impression does not seem to be reputable, almost no one will trust you with their money.</p>
<p> Every single small business, on the Internet or even off line, includes issues and challenges. You will need patience, will power and also perseverance for you to stick to such a journey and not quit.</p>
<p>In the event that you believe you have got what it will take to be able to take on such issues when beginning an Internet business, with enthusiasm and motivation, you are going to be on your way to creating money along with success online while doing the job at home</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/georgelee/4417857010/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2749/4417857010_456461ea75_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;The field of investigative reporting involves bringing to the fore facts and figure that affect human interests and fair governance. This means conducting in depth research, looking at public records, doing extensive interviews, as well as checking and rechecking of facts before publication. Whether print or television, investigative reporting is essentially &#8220;watchdog&#8221; reporting. This means reporting crimes, unfair practices, injustice, as well as other human interest aspects like environment, disease, and so on. </p>
<p>Investigative journalism can move public opinion and instill fear in those treading the wrong path. Slave trade, gun running, terrorist activities, drug trafficking, money laundering and so on are brought to the notice of the world by investigative journalism.</p>
<p>An investigative journalist must be unafraid, determined, patient, watchful, fair, as well as dog minded to be successful. The questions a journalist seeks answers to are: who is responsible for the wrong doing; what methods were employed; what are the consequences; what can be done to correct the wrong; can the wrongdoers be brought to book?</p>
<p>The keys are to dig up the first lead, tip, or hunch. Then sniff around for facts. Form an investigative hypothesis. Next, like a detective, gather evidence that will prove undeniably the hypothesis. This will involve interviews, documents, records, proofs, and intense paper work. Organize the information and write the report. Check facts, check chances of libel, and the laws. To be good at your work it is advantageous if you are familiar with the law, know the procedures, can conduct quick and accurate research, follow the money trail, and dig out facts. </p>
<p>Investigative journalism is a specialized field that uses journalism skills, curiosity, advanced research methods, and a determination to right wrongs. This field of journalism is what helps shape democracy and protects the lives of the innocent. Done correctly it can raise public opinion to such an extent that the way the world thinks and functions can be changed. </p>
<p>An investigative journalist must work within the confines of ethics written and unwritten and the laws. The work could include revealing scandals and tracing infringements of laws, rules, or morals. Bring to public notice the policies of governments, companies, and other organizations. And, institute social change by describing social, economic, political, and cultural trends. </p>
<p>To be effective in investigative journalism the journalist must have high standards of functioning and be above corruption. The principles of truthfulness, accuracy, objectivity, impartiality, fair play, and public accountability must be deeply ingrained in the mind and soul of the journalist. Since investigative journalism involves use of undercover sources and anonymous tips it is absolutely essential for the journalist to double check facts. </p>
<p>Investigative journalism is news with a difference. It is critical and in depth investigations to a happening or policy which will serve to prevent or correct a wrong, prevent crimes, save the planet from destruction, and shape the future of the world in more ways than one. It is reporting the unknown, the hidden, and so, the investigative journalist becomes the keeper or custodian of public conscience. </p>
<p>It is a field where a mere niggling thought or suspicion becomes an expose of wrong doings. It questions actions and decisions and brings to the limelight outrageous acts and in human actions. In simple terms an investigative journalist polices society in the larger interests of mankind.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/summerrunner/4416734346/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4011/4416734346_a502c87eed_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;Are you convinced you certainly you want any more home business Internet marketing tip? Strategies on developing your Home based marketing business are exceptionally well well-known. And newbies who are just starting out to build their home business Internet marketing businesses can really profit from these tips. What if I could give you five of the time-tested information the professionals use to build their businesses?. While, of course, there are exceptions even to the advice given here, generally these tricks will help you build a stronger, longer-lasting business.</p>
<p>Pro Tip 1: Select A Small Community Of Dedicated Networkers Over A Broader Network</p>
<p>Have you heard this statement before or perhaps read it somewhere: work smarter, not harder? It is  a very straightforward tip: There is only a handful of people who actually succeed at nework marketing when they work harder as opposed to working smarter. You see a lot marketers believe, (and even preach) that you have to recruit a huge downline of consultants of tens of thousands of people in order to be successful. In truth, if they instead focused their energy on convincing a select group of 20-30 people to join their downline, their business will be invariably stronger. For home based Internet marketing business recruits to be truly effective, they need mentoring, and it is virtually impossible for one person to adequately mentor hundreds or thousands of people.</p>
<p>Tip 2: Your Sales Pitch Is Your Main WeaponYou Should Be Constantly Be Refining And Perfecting It</p>
<p>This tip should be obvious, but one need only look at most pitches to understand how commonly it is ignored. This is a matter of logic and practicality: Since your strategy is to recruit the best people you possible can, the tools you use to make those connections should be one of your primary concerns. Your sales pitch is the major vehicle you have to bring people to you and attract them to your opportunities. It therefore makes obvious sense that you spend most of your time and energy fine-tuning it to make it perfect.</p>
<p>Tip 3: Youre Not Just Selling Your Business, Youre Selling Yourself</p>
<p>No tip can help if you havent yet learned to sell not only your opportunities, but also yourself. Network marketing relies a great deal on interpersonal connection, and while a lot of home business Internet marketing opportunity advice focuses on better ways to promote your business, you also need to work on presenting yourself in a positive light. It boils down to this: if you come across as open, trustworthy and comfortable to  system with, and you can attract them with your persona, it&#8217;s much more easier to attract them to your opportunity once they come to know you. Conversely, if people do not find you friendly, open, and trustworthy, even the best sales pitch in the world will leave you fighting an uphill battle.</p>
<p>Pro Tip 4: Pros Play The Game To Their Strengths</p>
<p>Perhaps the least appealing of these marketing tricks, but nonetheless well worth abiding by, is to take the time to identify and examine not only your strengths, but also your weaknesses. Some of the weaknesses you may have can be dealt with. However, with some you simply have to stay from situations that will make your weaknesses flair up and play up the game to your strengths or abilities. And don&#8217;t be disappointed if you discover your weaknesses. We all have them. The pros just learn to manage themselves to stay focused. If there is a real issue that is undoing your progress in your business, let your mentor or sponsor help deal with it. Since they have a financial stake in your success, they will find it easy to do this.</p>
<p>Pro Tip 5: Never Throw In The Towel<br />
<br />I saved the best for the last. The most basic Internet marketing tip, in fact anyone can give you is this: Never give up. The game is not over until you have WON and smiling all the way to the bank. Some people will tell you that failure is not an option. To some extent this is true. But to a very large extent you had better be prepared to fail your to the top of your business. Sucess is usually found on the other side of failure, and being able to stay at the game, completing your projects is a trademark of all professionals in home based Internet marketing business. This is what characterises every who experiences great successes. Keep trying until it works.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/redbrock/4416986176/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4065/4416986176_fe03135184_o.gif" width="240" height="196" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;It is a truth that the majority business proprietors tend not to acquire the the majority out of business networking events. Winning networking requires time along with energy to establish the connection beyond the first appointment. Individuals who have fruitfully tap on the networking platform as portion of their marketing channel will notice huge effect for their businesses.</p>
<p>The the majority significant thing inside business networking should be to follow up. Following up with your contacts is particularly significant not simply you can keep up a much deeper connection with your contact but also discover recent collaboration possibilities to help one another. Based on my familiarity, I believe fewer than 80% of the people follow up within 24 hours after networking event. Timing is another significant factor when following up along with you must make sure that that your contacts still remember you! the majority of the time, sending a personalized thank you email after the event is a decent beginning.</p>
<p>Decent positive attitude is also one of the issues for successful networking. When you are appointment recent contacts, it is very significant to put across your positive along with proactive attitude because the majority business proprietors would like to do business with these high energy people. No one will want to have business deals with someone who is at a low level energy along with continuously concentrate on things that tend not to work out. As a rule of thumb, I continuously look back for the past one month for decent news for my business so as to share with my recent contacts when we meet up.</p>
<p>Last tip I have for you should be to concentrate on serving someone. I can still remember I was attending a business networking a few years back, there is this successful sales specialist who asks me, &#8220;So, KC, tell me how can I help you inside your business?&#8221;. This question literally stops me on track along with have me thinking real hard because I have never been asked before! You can imagine how much I appreciate that particular person who is willing to lend me a serving hand. continuously believe inside terms of the other person along with you will never go wrong.</p>
<p>Initial intuition is particularly significant along with it is essential to portray the specialist persona that you want others to perceive. Owning a positive attitude will help to guide the way along with following up with a sincere heart to help the other person will very nearly guarantee successful networking along with business deals!</p>

It is one of many jobs that may successfully be outsourced, and there are receivables management services that have fully trained and knowledgeable staff to collect debts on your behalf, competently and quickly.

<p>They can additionally help to maintain liquidity in your cash flow and improve the fiscal position of the business. An expert receivables management service will let you use your workforce for their own talents for the benefit of your company and leave the collection of bad debts to the professionals.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t get your accounts receivables settled in a timely manner your company could soon wind up in real difficulties, and smaller sized businesses oftentimes just lack the ability or means to be able to follow up these processes effectively. During a period when the economic climate is bad, bad debts are more likely to get written off, and using receivables management services can often step in and help to negotiate some kind of agreement well before things get to that stage.</p>
<p>You may believe that by outsourcing accounts receivables to receivables management services can be an additional cost that your company cannot afford, however it can actually make great economic sense in your company. Bad debts can decrease and your productivity won&#8217;t be inhibited by means of employees needing to engage in activities that are very essential although fundamentally not beneficial for the long term progress of the business.</p>
<p>Debtors usually fall into 2 different types. There are those who can&#8217;t pay, and there are people who won&#8217;t pay. The knowledge of the personnel in receivables management services will be able to distinguish each quite effortlessly, and guide the former with some form of payment plan while dealing with the latter in the best way they see fit. Occasionally there may be an ongoing argument over the quality of merchandise acquired etc, which must be resolved before a proper solution is found. In case legal action is necessary to attempt to recover the unsettled amount, then a receivables management service has the required knowledge required to be able to do that for you also.</p>
<p>Receivables management services are also able to help you to put into place and use procedures which can help decrease further bad debt in the future. New credit apps will have to be vetted cautiously ahead of when any credit is extended.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s crucial to stay in contact with your clients, which means the good payers as well as the ones who often have to be reminded once or twice before repayment is made. Receivables management services may help you with all facets of employing and keeping good strategies for the future success of your company.</p>

<p><B><A href="http://www.articlekingpro.com/Article/Seven-Reasons-to-Have-Your-Own-Internet-Business/416106" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><br />Seven Reasons to Have Your Own Internet Business<br /></A></B><br />By Ollie Donovan</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sminor/4405698975/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2704/4405698975_d27dab0318_o.jpg" width="240" height="180" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;Lots of companies that have been around for sometime are now not only selling their products in stores and malls, but they also have taken their business and products online. Actually over 95% of them have taken their stores and moved it online. </p>
<p>Today, you are going to read about why it is a good idea to start your own internet business by selling other people&#8217;s products or even selling your own.</p>
<p>Shall we start?</p>
<p>1. The need to make more money. </p>
<p>Many people who start an internet business are doing it to make more money. Everywhere you go, no one wants to make more money for the fun of it. They want more because money is like oxygen. It is always a good idea to have extra money coming in. </p>
<p>2. Set your own hours. </p>
<p>An internet business is no different from any other businesses that are in this world. You have to work and devote some time each day to your online business. The nice thing that you can do is to work at anytime that you choose to. Some internet entrepreneurs that work from home, like to work in the morning. Some like to wake up late and work in the afternoon hours. It is such a great feeling to know that you control your own hours and your life&#8217;s destiny. </p>
<p>3. The power to create multiple streams of income. </p>
<p>When starting an online business, you always have the option to earn more then one check. As you build your website and email list, you can have many programs promoted on both of them. Imagine getting different checks in the mail each month from different companies that you have on your website. The average person, who has a job, only gets ONE. </p>
<p>4. The sky is the limit. </p>
<p>When you work at your day job, you pretty much know how much you are going to earn. If you work 40 hours a week, you get paid for that time. If you are sick and work less, you get paid less. With an internet business, you can make more money everyday and the nice thing is that even if you are sick for one or two days, you still have the option to make the same amount of money and you don&#8217;t have to get out of your house. </p>
<p>5. The need to be your own boss. </p>
<p>Working for yourself is much better then working for someone else. When you work for a boss, you have to come in everyday at a certain time. Take a morning break when they allow you to. Take lunch when your boss tells you to. Basically your life is being controlled like a robotic machine. When you work for yourself, you do what ever, whenever, and with whom ever you want to. </p>
<p>6. Creating security for your family. </p>
<p>When people think about starting an online business, they fear that it is way too risky for them. The good thing about starting and running an internet business is that it gives you the peace of mind that should something happen and you are injured and can&#8217;t go to work any longer, how is that going to make you and your family feel? When you have an income coming in from your business, it makes you feel more secure. </p>
<p>7. It is so much fun. </p>
<p>Waking up every morning to an alarm clock is not much fun. Many people get so depressed feeling that they will be going to a job for the rest of their life. A job is not much fun. Working for yourself gives you the opportunity to really enjoy life and do what ever you want to do. Once you learn how to make money online automatically, the fun part is that you can choose to do any activity that you absolutely love. </p>
<p>Think of your own reasons as to why you should start your own internet business. Grab a piece of paper and start writing what ever comes to your mind. Get excited, be like a kid, and what ever you do, HAVE FUN.</p>

<p>Workplace discrimination and harassment can occur in:<br />
<br />	Employment and selection of staff.<br />
<br />	Training and type of training being offered.<br />
<br />	Being considered for a transfer, promotion or sacking.<br />
<br />	Work place conditions.</p>
<p>What is defined as unlawful harassment?<br />
<br />Under Australian state and federal legislation unlawful harassment can occur when a person humiliated because of their race, or intimidated and insulted because of there colour, ethnicity, or any other specified characteristic under anti-discrimination or human rights legislation.</p>
<p>Workplace harassment can include behaviour such as:<br />
<br />	Mailing or submitting sexually explicit or suggestive letters, notes or emails.<br />
<br />	The making of derogatory taunts or comments about a persons religion or race. telling insulting The making of jokes about particular racial groups.<br />
<br />	Nude or pornographic posters displayed.<br />
<br />	The asking of questions about a persons sex life or personal life.</p>
<p>The nature of harassment and or discrimination.<br />
<br />No matter the seriousness of an incident, whether it be a one-off or prolonged and long termed, it will still be judged as harassment or discrimination. If left unchecked the continued harassment will erode the drive and ability of the individual or group to eventually effect the overall performance of their work performance. </p>
<p>However the absence of any formal or verbal complaints is not necessarily any indication that harassment or discrimination is not occurring. In a lot of cases the person or group being harassed or discriminated against will not complain or report the incident in the belief that they will be deemed as wingers or the incident is too trivial. In most cases the victim of the workplace harassment or discrimination is lacking confidence in their own ability and has fear of retribution or even worse, being dismissed.</p>
<p>Hostile working environment<br />
<br />As an employer you will also need to be aware of your responsibilities in making the work environment a safe place from a culture of sexual or racial harassment. Both are deemed as HOSTILE. An example of a potential hostile working environment would include the display of nude or pornographic material, swearing and crude conversations, racially or sex specific jokes.</p>
<p>What can not be classed as  harassment or discrimination.<br />
<br />However it must be remembered that comments and advice given by supervisors, work colleagues and managers on the work performance or work related behaviour of an individual or group should not be confused with workplace harassment or discrimination.<br />
<br />Feedback during normal performance appraisals and work performance meetings will always be deemed as stressful and will in some cases effect the well being of the person or group being appraised. However, managers and supervisors should always keep these concerns in mind and perform any necessary appraisal with sensitivity without avoiding the need to provide full and frank feedback to their staff.</p>
<p>What is workplace bullying?<br />
<br />Sourced the  from ACTUQ/QCCI/Qld Govt Dept of Workplace Health and Safety , they claim that workplace bullying is &#8220;the repeated less favourable treatment of a person by another or others in the workplace, which may be considered unreasonable and inappropriate workplace practice. It includes behaviour that intimidates, offends, degrades or humiliates a worker&#8221;. </p>
<p>Bullies will use their status or power of position in a company or business to target both men and women with their bullying practices. Bullying behaviour can range from obvious verbal or physical assault to very subtle psychological abuse. </p>
<p>This behaviour would include:<br />
<br />	Psychological harassment. (mind games)<br />
<br />	Excluding or isolating targeted employees.<br />
<br />	Assigning impossible tasks or jobs to targeted employees.<br />
<br />	Physical or verbal abuse.<br />
<br />	Inconvenience selected employees by deliberately changed work rosters and shifts.<br />
<br />	Yell and scream offensive language.<br />
<br />	Intimidation<br />
<br />	Undermine work performance deliberately by withholding vital job information.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/zooboing/4404695769/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2773/4404695769_a5eed474ac_o.jpg" width="240" height="240" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;Is it the Matrix?  Is it somehow tied to Pareto and his ingenious 80/20 rule?  Most importantly, can you decipher the code and crack the 98% solution?</p>
<p>Some answers you must find for yourself, but we do all live in a matrix of our own creation&#8230;.our own mind.  The actions you take are governed by the dominant beliefs and values in your head.</p>
<p>When you become aware of this matrix you have created you become very powerful.  If it is serving you results other than what you want go in and change it.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s talk for a moment about Google&#8217;s 70% solution.  Much has been said about it.  For the uninitiated it is this:</p>
<p>-Focus 70% of your time on activities that directly pay you the lion&#8217;s share of your income (in Google&#8217;s case &#8216;core search&#8217;).</p>
<p>-Focus 30% of your time on innovation and new product development.</p>
<p>This is an invaluable insight you can start using today.  But what is the 98% solution as it pertains to you?</p>
<p>Imagine this scene like something straight out of a movie.  There is a man walking all alone in the middle of this vast expanse that is a desert wasteland.  There is nothing and no one as far as the eye can see.</p>
<p>His shoulders are slumped forward, head looking down toward the ground, he is beaten and broken.  He searches but for what we know not.</p>
<p>All the grains of sand all around him will not quench his thirst.  There is a dry, suffocating heat all around him that stalks his spirit like a mongoose on a King Cobra.</p>
<p>And then as if by magic he sees 3 Oasis&#8217; on the desert horizon.  He immediately perks up and begins running toward them (though very slow due to his exhaustion and dehydration).</p>
<p>-The 1st one he gets to is a mirage, nothing more than the same old sand.  He gets very discouraged.</p>
<p>-The 2nd one is a false oasis with water unfit to drink.  He dips in anyway to the dirty water and it tastes foul.</p>
<p>-The 3rd one is his salvation&#8230;pure, clean thirst-quenching drinking water at last.</p>
<p>So who is this man and why am I telling you his tale?  Because he is YOU!  The desert sand is your friends, family and other uninterested parties the gurus tell you to go after.  This desert sand won&#8217;t quench your thirst for business success and sales.  It definitely can&#8217;t be deposited into your bank account.</p>
<p>The suffocating heat and dryness are your competition in your chosen business field.  They are also the other non-competing businesses seeking your target people&#8217;s attention.  It is a dog-eat-dog world and you must outmaneuver these 2 forces to win.</p>
<p>-The 1st oasis mirage is you seeing what you want to see.  This supports your current mental state.  It is the easiest solution closest to you.</p>
<p>-The 2nd oasis are false prophets and scamsters telling you what to believe to get you to open your wallet so they can take what they want without giving to you.  Also, the gurus who tell you of instant wealth with zero effort.</p>
<p>-The 3rd oasis is your holy grail.  It is the true solution that people with integrity will show you.  If you decide to accept the offer it saves your life (or business in this case).</p>
<p>We have all heard the horrifying, gory stat that 98% of people who start a home business fail.  So what is the 98% solution?  It is&#8230;finding the true oasis and dipping into the pure drinking water.  In your business it is MARKETING.</p>
<p>You fish in ponds of hungry fish who want the bait you have.  You can do this through the internet very easily.  Think of the search terms people who want what you have would use to find you and then setup a page to capture their imagination and attention.</p>
<p>Then of course you follow-up and show them why your business is an excellent choice for them and give them the opportunity to work with you and have access to your expertise.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Joel Booker</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xoostudio/4400788082/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4010/4400788082_7e6f662253_o.jpg" width="240" height="159" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;What would you do if today after all the hard work on your job and contribution to the companies bottom-line your services were no longer needed? Your only source of income stopped dead in its tracks.  Would everything be ok for you and your family? Would life go uninterrupted or maybe even get better? Or would time almost seem to stand still for a moment before it started to come crashing in?</p>
<p>Well sadly, this week Ford Motor Company rewarded hard working Americans with pink slips due the company&#8217;s new campaign called, &#8220;The Way Forward.&#8221; Can you believe it? The way forward for Ford is to sacrifice the lives of the very people that helped to build the company.</p>
<p>&#8220;We will be making painful sacrifices to protect Ford&#8217;s heritage and secure our future,&#8221; Chairman and Chief Executive Bill Ford said in a statement. &#8220;Going forward, we will be able to deliver more innovative products, better returns for our shareholders and stability in the communities where we operate.&#8221;</p>
<p>Is this guy for real? He has the nerve to talk about protecting the heritage of Ford while thousands of people aren&#8217;t sure where their mortgage is going to come from.</p>
<p>It was hard for me to watch the news and read the stories about men and women who simply had no idea of how they were going to support their family. </p>
<p>While talking to a friend who lives in Indianapolis he shared how the plant closed that day. Thirty six hundred jobs were gone in a blink of an eye. He said it was devastating to his community. People were crying as they left the premises. Some people even left their cars in the company parking lot with signs on them simply saying,&#8221; Please take over payments.&#8221; </p>
<p>And I keep hearing the economy is getting better&#8230;for who? </p>
<p>As I reflected throughout the day I was reminded once again that as Americans we owe it to our families to take our lives back and build wealth from home.</p>
<p>Will you?</p>
<p>There are five famous quotes which were shared with me early in my life and have a great impact.  Each one also came with a lesson. I hope they give you something to think about.</p>
<p>1.&#8221;There is no future in any job. The future lies in the man who holds the job.&#8221; By George Crane.</p>
<p>Lesson: Unless you own the business you have nothing. The power is in the ownership.</p>
<p>Question: How much power do you currently have? What might happen if your only source of income stopped?</p>
<p>2.&#8221;Lessons From Corporate America: By the time you make ends meet, they move   the ends.&#8221; Author Unknown</p>
<p>Lesson: There is no loyalty in Corporate America. At all times you must remember to look at what is in the best interest of you and your family. Remember to mind your business not theirs.</p>
<p>Question: Are you minding your business? Or are you so busy working, you&#8217;re putting yourself at risk? Stop and think. What plans should you be making before they change the game? Now is the time to start thinking about home based business ideas.</p>
<p>3.&#8221;Assume that whatever situation you are facing at the moment is exactly the right situation you need to ultimately be successful.  The situation has been sent to help you become better, to help you expand and grow,&#8221; by Brian Tracy</p>
<p>Lesson: Even when you are betrayed by your employer look for the lesson. Your skills and talents have made money for your company those talents can do the same for you.  Don&#8217;t get blinded by the situation. Look for the lesson. And once you find it take it make a profit for yourself.</p>
<p>Question: What are you facing in the moment? Do you see the glass half empty or full? What skills and talents do you have that are transferable in starting your own business?</p>
<p>4.&#8221;The more you seek security, the less of it you have. But the more you seek opportunity, the more likely it is that you will achieve the security that you desire,&#8221; by Brian Tracy</p>
<p>Lesson: Most people stay in a job for the security of a guaranteed paycheck, benefits and retirement. However, when you do you give up time you can never get back. And at the end you may never get what you were promised. Be willing to take a risk on yourself and you can have all the things you want in life and more.</p>
<p>Question: Are you playing it safe and as a result risking everything?</p>
<p>5.&#8221;I had to make my own living and my own opportunity! But I made it! Don&#8217;t sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them!&#8221;<br />
<br />- Madam C.J. Walker, creator of a popular line of African-American hair care products and America&#8217;s first black female millionaire in 1919</p>
<p>Lesson: She was a woman who came from the cotton fields of the South. From there she was promoted the wash tub. However, in her defining moment she promoted herself into the business of manufacturing hair goods and preparations. She didn&#8217;t wait for an opportunity she created one.</p>
<p>Question: Are you creating your opportunity or are you simply hoping it will come?</p>
<p>5.&#8221;You can&#8217;t make someone else&#8217;s choices. You shouldn&#8217;t let someone else make  yours, &#8220;by Gen. Colin Powell  </p>
<p>Lesson: If you fail to make choices for your life someone else will and you may not like it. You have more control over your life when you take charge of it. Have a plan for yourself at all times. </p>
<p>Question: Ask yourself, are you letting others make choices for you?</p>
<p>6.&#8221;Entrepreneurs are the forgotten heroes of America,&#8221; by Ronald Reagan</p>
<p>Lesson: For some reason people have forgotten that this country was not built on the backs of Fortune 1000 companies. It was built on Entrepreneurship. Even today, people are willing to swim over shark infested waters to come to America&#8230;the land of opportunity. Those born here or those who come and build a legacy for their family and give other opportunities to develop are the forgotten heroes. </p>
<p>Question: What is the legacy you want to leave for yourself and your family?</p>
<p>What a difference it would have made if each of these employees had a Plan B in place. </p>
<p>Another source of income is one the best insurance policies you could have.</p>
<p>What happened to the employees of Ford Motor Company could happen to anyone. Are you prepared? </p>
<p>One of the most important things you can do is explore how you can create your own Plan B and work from home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Raul Levine</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joemar/4397883752/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2733/4397883752_52bd2764df_o.jpg" width="200" height="240" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;It is a well known fact that nothing is permanent in this world. Everything is ephemeral. That is why it is always best to have backups, especially financial ones, in case things go out of hand. Hence, a good financial planning for your retirement is the most feasible idea in order for you to save for the future.</p>
<p>DO&#8217;s</p>
<p>1. Do know what you are getting into</p>
<p>When making financial planning retirement, it is best to make sure if the management team of the company where you will invest your money is capable of providing you the necessary services that you need. Know how they are going to make money for you. Research the industry. Is it growing? What are the competitors like?</p>
<p>2. Do have an exit strategy</p>
<p>If you make your financial planning retirement, try to create an exit strategy as well. This is to safeguards you from any imminent problems that may arise. Remember that the liquidity of your investment is very important. So, before you start with your financial planning retirement, ask yourself: Can you easily convert it to cash when you need to get out or if something happens and you or your beneficiaries need it?</p>
<p>3. Do invest only in what you are comfortable with</p>
<p>Shop around and be proactive - don&#8217;t wait for an insurance company or retirement plan institution to appear at the last second. Even if a financial plan looks very attractive, if you do not understand it enough, or are not prepared to risk losing your money, do not put your money in it.</p>
<p>4. Do remember: nothing is sure in the world of investment</p>
<p>Until the matured money is actually in your pocket or is fully enjoyed by your beneficiaries, all projected returns are simply expectations. The important thing is to have a fallback and move forward. So, when making a financial planning retirement, keep in mind that it is not feasible to entirely depend on one financial institution. Look for more alternatives.</p>
<p>DON&#8217;Ts</p>
<p>1. Don&#8217;t buy into something just because everyone is</p>
<p>When making a financial planning retirement, do some independent research and analysis first; do not be swayed by what other people&#8217;s investment moves. Keep in mind that not all financial planning retirement packages are created equal; each plan has its own pros and cons. So, it is best that you know what will work on you when you make your very own financial planning retirement.</p>
<p>2. Don&#8217;t invest in the stock market</p>
<p>If you do not know your way around in the stock market, then do not put that on your list as you go along with your financial planning retirement. Stock markets can be a profitable retirement investment vehicle, but they tend to be a risky business. When you do your financial planning for retirement, keep in mind that it is not wise to gamble everything that you have, especially if the financial planning retirement scheme you are contemplating with is still unclear to you. At the very least, don&#8217;t put all your eggs in one basket, so to speak. </p>
<p>3. Do not borrow money just so you can head off immediately</p>
<p>When making a financial planning retirement, it is best that you focus more on your very own finances rather than deliberately borrowing money from others just so you can start right away.</p>

<p><B><A href="http://www.articlekingpro.com/Article/Delegating-for-Development/414380" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><br />Delegating for Development<br /></A></B><br />By Jewell Hardin</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29537061@N05/4397761914/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2765/4397761914_3b4e04e6e3_o.jpg" width="240" height="206" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;If you manage others, one of your most important roles will be to develop the resources that you have under you and that includes the people themselves. Here is a 6-step guide to how to develop people through delegation.</p>
<p>1. Kindle The Inner Spirit. The first step in developing others is the belief that everyone in the team is capable of growth and development. We demonstrate that belief by being genuinely interested in what they are doing and helping them discover ways in which they can build on their strengths. In this way, developmental opportunities open up almost by themselves. &#8220;In everyone&#8217;s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flames by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who re-kindle the inner spirit.&#8221; (Albert Schweitzer)</p>
<p>2. Get To Know Your Team&#8217;s Strengths. The biggest disasters in people management arise when we fail to recognize the natural abilities of our team. It&#8217;s what happened to Rabbit when he went to school. </p>
<p>When Rabbit first went to school, he was delighted with what the instructor told him. &#8220;Rabbit, you have fine legs. You hop well, spring well and jump well. With some guidance, you can be an excellent jumper.&#8221; Rabbit loved every minute of the Hopping class and excelled.<br />
<br />Then the Head Teacher said: &#8220;But Rabbit, you don&#8217;t swim well or climb trees at all well. You must stop the Jumping class and concentrate on swimming and tree climbing.&#8221;<br />
<br />So, Rabbit left the Jumping class that he loved and went to the Swimming class and Tree climbing class that he hated.<br />
<br />After a while, miserable and dispirited, he begged his parents to take him out of school. &#8220;If only I&#8217;d been allowed to stay in Jumping,&#8221; he thought. (Donald Clifton and Paula Nelson)</p>
<p>Moral of the story: Develop what people are already good at and you&#8217;ll help them excel.</p>
<p>3. Find Jobs That Match Your Needs and People&#8217;s Needs. The art of delegating lies in finding a match between the potential of the individual and the needs of the business. When you find that match, you hit on a win-win situation: you gain and the individual gains. By contrast, when you delegate jobs that don&#8217;t need to be done, or to people who don&#8217;t have any real interest in them, or can&#8217;t do them, or don&#8217;t want to do them, you simply de-motivate and frustrate. As a result, people become convinced they&#8217;re inadequate and lacking in any real talent.<br />
<br />&#8220;Don&#8217;t try and teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.&#8221; (Donald Clifton and Paula Nelson)</p>
<p>4. Agree A Delegation Plan. When you decide to delegate a job to someone in order to develop their strengths, it is important to create a delegation contract so that you both know what is expected of each other. This contract can include anything you want but useful areas for agreement include: time scales; levels of freedom; levels of authority; constraints; methods of working; worries; how others are affected. You are unlikely to be able to do this without sitting down with the delegatee to agree the contract and then having regular chats as things progress.</p>
<p>5. Let Them Go. Unless your delegation contract stipulates a very tight amount of control by you, you must let the person get on with things without unnecessary interference. OK, that may sound risky. And it is. After all, the delegatee may foul up. Well, that&#8217;s a risk you have to be prepared to take, since this may be the only way they&#8217;re going to learn. But unless you let them go, they won&#8217;t be able to stretch their wings and fly. Delegation is an act of faith on the part of both you and your delegatee. &#8220;Giving people self-confidence is by far the most important thing I can do. Because then they will act.&#8221; (Jack Welch, CEO of General Electric)</p>
<p>6. Keep Your Eyes On. Working out how near or far you need to be in a delegating relationship is the true art of managing others. Too close and you don&#8217;t give people enough freedom to take risks and learn; too far and they lose hope. One rule is to take your hands off but keep your eyes on. This relationship is similar to parents teaching their children to swim. At the start, they stand right next to them with their hands under their tummies. They never let go. Then gradually as the children begin to gain in confidence and skill, they move  back. First they let one hand go. Imperceptibly. Then the other hand. Then they take a step back. Then another. And eventually they move out of reach to the side of the pool. In the end they leave the children alone and get out of the pool. But all the time and even now, they never take their eyes off them.</p>
<p>Developmental delegation is by far the most important of all the acts of delegation. It is delegation with a purpose. It grows the one resource that is free and unlimited, your own staff. When it works, you increase all your assets at a stroke and both you and your delegatee are the richer for it.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29537061@N05/4397761844/" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2781/4397761844_5c985914ef_o.jpg" width="160" height="240" border="0" alt=" " hspace="2" vspace="2" align="left"></a>&nbsp;People who live next door to each other seldom take the time to get to know each other. Or worst yet, co-workers go into the same building daily, and may even ride the same elevator, without even saying a word to each other. And this story goes on daily all across the land - different locations, same scenario! How much more rewarding life would be if people would only take a moment to greet each other and start to develop positive relationships! </p>
<p>It is my belief that we are, at times, our own worst enemy. Despite our kind and helpful intentions, we tend to shoot ourselves in the foot when it comes to developing and maintaining positive relationships.</p>
<p>There tends to be problems among people whenever they ignore each other or demonstrate a lack of respect. I drew this conclusion after studying this counterproductive behavior while in college and again while in the US Air Force. Consequently, I venture to say that ninety to ninety-five percent of the cases I counseled stemmed from lack of mutual respect and/or communication. </p>
<p>&#8220;Developing a relationship takes time, but applying the ingredients begins immediately.&#8221; </p>
<p>The way we learned to develop and maintain our relationships with others usually started in our homes when we were young. If our parents showed love and respect for each other, we tended to do the same for our family members. Having had positive interactions there, we took it to school and eventually to the work place. However, if we never witnessed or learned mutual respect at home, we developed an indifference for our fellow-human being. It is no wonder that we never knew how to show it. </p>
<p>Mutual Respect Goes a Long Way</p>
<p>Respect, whenever demanded, always results in &#8220;defiant compliance&#8221; (doing it because we have to, usually under pressure, not because we want to for the pure pleasure) that may lead to counterproductive behaviors. When respect is earned, on the other hand, positive things begin to happen on both sides of the fence. The only effective way to earn respect is to give it away. Then, not only will it return, but it will do so a hundredfold. The good thing about developing positive relationships is that it is never too late to do so, despite how blight the situation might seem. </p>
<p>Hint: To create an atmosphere of mutual respect, start by demonstrating in your words and actions respect for others, starting with your spouse and children. A good way to begin is to minimize the negative talk, in yourself and in others. Speak when the atmosphere is friendly. Your family member will be more apt to listen and respond in a friendly manner. Take what you have learned to the workplace and spread respect in similar manner there. </p>
<p>Putting a Little Fun into Your Life </p>
<p>Because we are so busy with the demands of work, home, community events, and church activities, it becomes easy to overlook an all-important aspect for building positive relationships. The good news is that it does not take as much time as we might think. The benefits come in the quality, not the quantity, of time we spend with the other person. </p>
<p>Hint: Spend time on a regular basis, once a week, or two or three times a week, with the other person doing something that you both enjoy. Avoid getting into the routine of making it a forced activity or schedule. </p>
<p>Encouragement Creates Cooperation. </p>
<p>If we expect others to respond to our wishes and requests, we must first believe in ourselves and in the other person as capable and productive persons. This belief, when expressed in positive and supportive words and actions, sends a strong message of encouragement. The other person quickly picks up and responds positively and cooperatively. </p>
<p>Hint: Minimize your mentioning of the mistakes (except in hazardous or other dangerous situations) or the weaknesses of others. Instead, recognize and acknowledge their assets and strengths. Turn their lemons into lemonade. </p>
<p>Show a Little Love in All You Do and Say </p>
<p>I often heard in counseling situations that &#8220;He says he loves me, but he never shows it.&#8221; What this person was actually saying was that she heard it in words but was not convinced by his actions (usually it a lack of action). Remember the old adage: &#8220;Action speaks louder than words&#8221;? It could not be truer here. Love is both an emotion and an action. Saying it alone is not enough. Neither is showing it by itself. For the other person to feel secure in the relationship, regardless of the level of intimacy, they need to know, see, feel, and perceive that they are on the receiving end, that the other person truly cares for them. </p>
<p>Hint: Expressing our love, care, and concern for the other person is both a feeling and an action that needs to be expressed in words and action. Often such expressions are most powerful whenever they are expressed at a time or occasion when the other person is least anticipating such comments and actions. </p>
<p>Avoid praising; it may seem artificial. Instead give encouragement; it comes across more genuine and caring. </p>
<p>Although mutual respect, love, and funtimes together are all important ingredients in creating positive relationships, it is the encouragement ingredient that is the most important of all. For it is through encouragement that we focus on the strengths and assets of the others. Consequently, it is this encouragement that helps them to believe in themselves and their abilities, that helps them to accept and learn from their mistakes, and that helps them to develop the courage to be themselves, imperfections and all. (This just might be the first step they needed in helping them learn how to maximize their potential.)</p>
<p>There you have it: The four ingredients in developing and maintaining positive relationships, mutual respect, love, having fun together, and encouragement. Now put this recipe into practice with your employees, your customers, your colleagues, and others, and watch the positive results of your behavioral investments grow beyond all leaps and bounds.</p>
