Chris Lytle Success Tip -- Get Help Before You Need It
Chris Lytle Success Tip: Overheard on the driving range one afternoon: "I'm playing Pebble Beach this Friday and I figured I'd better come see you," a man said to the assistant pro. Imagine paying $380 to play at Pebble Beach and standing at the first tee having taken one golf lesson. How many of us wait too long before asking for help? The lesson: Take lessons long before you need them. Click here to visit Lytle's site. |

Back to the Stone Age?
First, the good news! The economy added 18,000 jobs last month! This tsunami in employment was fueled by millions of workers over the age of 40, who finally took matters into their own hands.
Having fruitlessly hunted for jobs for 10 years straight, these determined oldsters finally got on their bikes and went out looking for bottles and cans on the side of the road on the rumor that Walmart would redeem them for two cents each.
Although the rumor proved false, 17,999 people found piecework repairing bicycle tires, and one found a part-time job running a blog that explains to the few who still don't know it that the "green" movement we've heard so much about never really got started in the U.S.
"Look, nobody but one scruffy apartment complex in Brattleboro, Ver., and a couple of visiting Scandinavians actually recycles anything," he pointed out laconically.
So what's the bad news? Well, it's that Americans aren't necessarily getting dumber; it's just that we have no place to go to get smart.
SCHOOLS, BOOKS AND VOLTAIRE'S TWEETS
The big question on everybody's mind, of course, is what will it be like to live under a Chinese government? It's a deuced good question, but where do you get the answer?
Schools are understandably focused on adding more trailers for classrooms and trying to get the PTAs to shake more money out of broke parents. They don't have time for frivolous questions.
Books? Well, let's see what's on hand. We've got some graphic novels set in China. Would that help? And there's one here about zombie Mongols coming over the Great Wall. ... Hmmm... Here's one on polygamist zombie cheerleaders pulling rickshaws in Hong Kong, one of those "finding yourself" things, which has been a big hit with the tweens. Together, these should give you an idea of what it's like to live under a Chinese government, no?
You say you can't afford an eReader? Well, that's too bad. The bookstores have all closed, and the libraries that are still open just have computers for job seekers now.
But kidding aside, what really keeps us up at night is the question of Voltaire's tweets. Of course, we all know there's no such thing. Voltaire, that skinny French dude from the Enlightenment who wrote "Candide" and got in so much trouble pointing out things that desperately needed fixing, died long before the debut of the metaphysical King Solomon's Mines that is Twitter and tweets.
But Voltaire did write letters -- more than 15,000 of them, actually, to mistresses and cousins and friends and antagonists, and to some of the fellow brilliant minds of his day. He loved Pope, he admired Swift, he strove to learn Newton's theories, though he had little math. And he even wrote at least one opera (maybe more; we're still reading his bio), along with many plays and some other "tweets." His letters alone, along with a few from folks in his circle, run to 51 volumes.
CRUMBS FROM SHARP COOKIES FEED HUNGRY MINDS
Not long ago, collections of letters that had come from sharp cookies were feasts for people who liked to read and think and figure things out. The letters kept those "dead" minds from the past -- and ours in the present -- alive. Those voices and their worlds, so important for understanding ours, were never really dead as long as their letters were with us.
But there's no time to explain all that now. (No, we don't write letters, either.) So we'll just e-mail you a few quick lines that you can delete as soon as you read 'em. Oh, you don't have time to read e-mail anymore? OK, sorry. We'll just tweet. ... You don't have time for Twitter anymore? Text? No?
Well, how are we supposed to convey our message? It's pretty complex. ... Ah! Here's just the thing: O.O

Business Success for Wednesday
| Business Success For You Wednesday July 13, 2011 |
Tips for Funding a Home-Based Business Chris Durst and Michael Haaren The vast majority of businesses start at home. According to the SBA, approximately half of the 30 million businesses in the U.S. are home-based. You can fund a home-based business in a number of ways. We'll discuss just a few, including some new options created by the Internet. CREDIT CARD DEBT This old standby, though still useful, was better back in the day. In the '70s and early '80s, state usury laws forced banks to keep credit card interest rates low. When inflation boosted the cost of money in the '80s, the banks were unhappy and maneuvered around the laws to charge double-digit interest. Later, when the cost of money plummeted, banks kept the interest rates high. The result? As they say in movie reviews, "Not for the squeamish." Entrepreneurs skying on the endorphins of birthing a business often go gaga with cards, charging everything from new furniture to trips to China. But if your business isn't scalable -- if it's small by concept as well as design -- you can quickly take on years of high-priced debt. As a rule, handle credit cards as if they were firearms, not Kleenex. ONLINE RESOURCES -- KICKSTARTER.COM, CONTESTS The Internet has opened up new funding options for home-based entrepreneurs. Kickstarter.com, for example, which bills itself as "the largest funding platform for creative projects in the world," lets you post your idea and seek funding from "everybody." If people like your project, they pledge money, and you're good to go. You should also look online for business plan competitions and similar contests. These are often sponsored by colleges or state and local organizations that want to boost commerce or entrepreneurship. For an example, see www. BORROWING FROM AUNT SARAH Aunt Sarah may have a few ducats to lend you, but make sure you can pay them back on time. Include the going interest rate, too, along with a little extra for taking a chance on you. Ask her for the minimum rather than the maximum. If you borrow from family and things go south, those reunions will get awfully discomfiting. BOOTSTRAPPING Bootstrapping means funding the business from your profits as you go. It's financing for penny pinchers and other squinty-eyed pragmatists, who often succeed in business where the dreamers fail. Bootstrapping is good because it avoids or minimizes borrowing in the early stage of a business, when "the baby" is vulnerable. This reduces chances of failure due to excessive debt, and it keeps you focused on acquiring and pleasing customers rather than agonizing over IOUs. But bootstrapping is also bad. Because while you're trying to build your website and buy some pencils from the earnest sale of a single widget, Wedgie the Whiz Kid takes over the widget market with the money he got from Kickstarter, Aunt Sarah, a business plan contest, and those 10 credit cards that he'll pay off as soon as he parks his IPO Ferrari. But as they say at the carnival, you pays your money and you takes your choice. Christine Durst and Michael Haaren are leaders in the work-at-home movement and advocates of de-rat-raced living.

Chris Lytle Tip -- Two-way meetings Chris Lytle Sales Meeting Tip: The very best meetings with prospects are two-way exchanges of information. Getting people involved in a sales conversation is a lot different than making a sales pitch. "Don't spend hours and hours doing a fancy PowerPoint presentation," suggests a buyer. "Come to me with an idea and let's talk about it." Bringing one nugget of information is usually better than inundating prospects with pages of statistics. You'll accomplish more by understanding a prospect's point of view than making the prospect view your PowerPoint. Click here to visit Lytle's site. |
