Business Work-Life Balance: How Ready is your Small Business for the Festive Season Close Down?
As a business coach, December and January are months when I help lots of business people with their stress management. The festive season comes round every year without fail yet many small businesses seem to be surprised by it every year.
Following a particularly bad time when he not only under-stocked his inventory and lost sales but also failed to relax for Christmas Day, one of my clients created this festive checklist to ensure that he could enjoy all his future holiday breaks properly.
Set yourself a goal of planning ahead
- Predict your expected demand levels from what happened during the last festive sales season.
- Hire temps to meet seasonal demand without adding to your long-term costs.
- Plan your cash flow through the holiday period and organise stand-by funding to boost your working capital in case your sales peak.
- Send greetings cards to your best customers, remind them what you offer, and tell them your closure times.
- Ask your suppliers which days they close and their arrangements for late deliveries.
- Check how the late supply deliveries might impacts the service you offer your own customers.
- Find out the arrangements for postal collections and for banking before the holiday and into the New Year.
Ensure that you can deliver your promises
- Check your stock levels, note which is stock seasonal and would have to be sold cheap if you over-stock.
- Don’t over-trade or accept contracts that you cannot meet because this will damage your image.
- Prioritise regular customers because they provide loyal custom throughout the year.
- Pre-book a reliable company to deliver your customers’ goods because holiday gifts that arrive late will damage your reputation.
Schedule how you will close down cleanly
- Clear your paperwork before you break: post your cheques and money transfers for prompt bill payment during the holiday period and send out your own invoices to get prompt payment from your customers.
- Check your security procedures and brief your key holders before you close down.
- Agree a roster to update your answer machine regularly. (How burglars rejoice when automated email or phone responses say “everyone’s away, come round anytime you like”.)
And organise your relaxation
- Organise a staff party to show how you value the hard work of your team.
- Give out awards and presents to boost staff morale, reward loyalty and encourage team spirit.
- Make time to relax with your family and recover before the New Year.
Use your quiet time for forward planning
- Review how this year has treated you, how you did against your business goals, how you exceeded your marketing plan and how your business is growing.
- Reflect on what you want to change in the next 12 months.
- Plan your large tasks in small steps - setting the long term goals and creating milestones and stepping stones to reach the goals in a reasonable timescale.
- Plan your own training and self development to take place when your sales tend to be quiet after the holidays.
If I was coaching you, I would encourage you to re-write this checklist in your own words, to make it reflect your own business issues. Then pin it up in a prominent place so you and your staff are aware of the list. This will help you to tick off each item as your achieve it.
Then you can return refreshed to your small business, you can start the year afresh, ready to serve your customers to the best of your ability.

Home Foreclosures: Not Just for Middle Class Only
High end home foreclosure listings have spiked in recent months. This is evident of just how bad the real estate crisis is, and that it is not just middle class families who are being affected. Not only are these prime borrowers failing behind on their mortgage payments, but also car loans, credit cards, and property taxes. You would think that this paves the way for more legislature and creatively, legal mortgage products that will help to turn this crisis around. While the government has quickly bailed out large companies who were in a financial pinch, it has been slow to aid homeowners whose tax dollars were probably used to help the corporations.
With the growing number of home foreclosure listings, you begin to wonder what some of the additional fallouts related to this crisis will be. One thing that comes to mind is that the decrease of home sales has got to affect real estate agents. Many of these agents sold homes full-time, and now that there are more stringent loan approval rules, this affects the number of potential buyers who can be approved. Also, banking institutions that granted the loans are reporting huge loses because people are defaulting on loans. Potential buyers who can qualify under the new rules are required to put more money down before purchasing. This may delay their purchase if they do not have the full amount.
Success Trait No. 1: Believe In Yourself
Achievers say that you must have positive self-esteem in order to succeed in your world. I have interviewed successful people in Silicon Valley and they say that the number one trait you must have is to “believe in yourself.”
Years ago I thought, What does that really mean? How strong does your self-esteem have to be? How do I know? After many years of attending workshops, reading and practicing I came to this conclusion: “once you have a strong sense of self-esteem it is the most powerful force in my world.” It is like standing still and no one can push you down no matter how hard they try. If someone says you are no good it doesn’t register because you have past experiences that tell you otherwise. You KNOW you are good at what you do. You are PROUD of yourself and no one has to give you a trophy or award to prove it to you. You do just fine because you believe in yourself.
The Silicon Valley role models I interviewed were assertive and confident in their decisions and activities–they believed they could do what they aimed to do. They had no doubt even though at the time they were starting something new. They didn’t know how to do it but they had confidence in themselves that they would accomplish their goals.
Eight year old Nancy learned definitively that practice builds self-confidence. She loved to draw and wanted to be a Disney animator someday. With revelation, she recognized that she must do the things she loved to be happy. She knew what she wanted and went after it with a fierce conviction of her ability to do it. No one could discourage her. She just wouldn’t listen. She insisted on going to an art college instead of a business college as her mom suggested. Nancy stayed focused, got a job working on a new animated series years ago and today she is one of the directors on the long-running, successful sit-com series, The Simpson’s. It’s a good thing she didn’t listen to me or today she could be a miserable administrator. Well…that would never have happened because she knew what she wanted and she went after it.
Self-esteem is fleeting. We must continue to work on it at all times. Why do some people fall apart when they lose their jobs, and others move forward and look for the next opportunity? It is all in how they feel about themselves. If you had a bad childhood and your parents were always telling you that you were no good and wouldn’t amount to anything, then I’ll tell you the same thing someone said to me, “Get over it!” You are an adult now. You can make choices. Take workshops, read success-oriented books, hang around positive thinking people, and practice.
Once your self-esteem is on solid ground the world is yours.

Mexico: Americanzing Mexico
The other day while watching a local Mexican TV show to improve my Spanish (yeah, right), this unsettling TV commercial was shown. Several teenagers, carrying their bottles of pop (the advertised product), wanted to go swimming at a public pool. Unfortunately, it was closed. They decided to break into the place.
They were clever in committing their criminal act. One girl took an instamatic picture of the undisturbed pool and taped it to the video security camera so the napping doofus security guard would see only the before-the-breaking-and-entering-scene on his monitors. Then over the wall they all went–chortling, frolicking and having all sorts of fun after they had just broken the law.
Soon the photo of the undisturbed pool scene blows off the security camera and the jig is up. The guard comes unglued and rushes into the pool area only to be overcome by a scene of fun-filled excitement. The next thing you know, he is drinking the advertised pop with the little law-breaking hooligans and starts having a gay old time.
I wonder what is going on here? Now, before you jump to any conclusions, let me tell you this. A well-known American soft drink company manufactures the soft drink advertised in this Mexican TV commercialone you would immediately recognize if I had the guts to tell you the brand.
You know this commercial had to be produced in the United States (there wasn’t a Mexican among any of the actors) and approved by an American advertising executive who probably would say he or she thought the commercial was “cute”.
What is the message this TV commercial is sending to its ever-so-obvious target audience–teenagers?
1. If the object you are seeking is denied you then you should use whatever means necessary to get it.
2. Adults are stupid idiots that can be easily hoodwinked. But, if they catch you doing something wrong, you can still win them over with your youthful exuberance.
3. You can escape the consequences of wrongdoing by tricking or fooling adults.
Will someone tell me what this commercial has to do with the refreshing taste of a soft drink? No one in the ad ever talked about the drink. Remember what ads used to be like? “Yummy…This sure tastes good. It is so much better than that other icky soft drink. Won’t you run out to the store and buy some?”
Whatever happened to TV commercials where someone talks about the product and compares it to the other brand with a sneering grimace on his or her face?
I realize that companies have to push their product somehow to make their stockholders happy campers. I am all for that. However, just how does a bunch of kids breaking into a closed swimming pool and seeking to deceive the security guard have anything to do with drinking the soft drink? And then, to show the adult in the commercial as incapable of thinking, “Oh! Perhaps I should call the cops and then detain these little varmints until the authorities can arrest their little butts and take them away.”
This is, I fear, NAFTA’s contribution to the Americanizing of Mexico. The Mexican airways are now full of senseless American advertising. The TV stations play commercials that show criminal acts or parental disobedience that are supposed to somehow make you want to run out and buy their wonderful products.
This makes me so mad that I think I shall switch to drinking something non-cola. Oops!

Different Types Of Anabolic Steroids Explained
Anabolic steroids provide benefits to athletes, weight trainers and to other people but they have continually raised questions wherein the answers are yet to be found. So what are steroids, anyway? Steroids are considered to be a huge group of chemicals wherein the head group is cholesterol. The structure of steroids is composed of the basic four-ring carbon structure but the difference lies in the attachment in the carbon number 17. Human bodies can store cholesterol and make large amounts of it.
There are various types of anabolic steroids. Corticosteroids are an example of a steroid which are anti-inflammatory agents and they break tissue down. They are drugs based on naturally-occurring hormones and are often a very significant part of lymphoma treatment. However, there are certain types of steroids known as anabolic steroids, which are produced synthetically. These resemble the structure and form of testosterone. Naturally produced testosterone can be found in men, primarily produced by the Leydig cells of the testes. In women, the adrenal glands are the primary source of testosterone.
The production of testosterone in women, however, is relatively less in amount as compared to the male. The steroids have many functions in our body. This is why doctors have prescribed steroids to their patients to help them overcome or manage certain diseases. Anabolic steroids are the ones that athletes and sports men and women are fond of taking because it increases muscle strength as well as enhances the body processes. However, it is known to have side effects. Testosterone has both anabolic and androgenic characteristics. Anabolic signifies tissue build-up and muscle growth. Androgenic depicts masculine emphasis like the deepening of the voice in males as well as the growth of body hair.
Often steroids are taken orally and usually have short-term effects. However, as time goes by, drug companies and scientists have continued to adapt anabolic steroids to fit patients needs. Some steroids are injected by intramuscular injection, commonly in the buttocks, and are said to last longer than those taken orally. Furthermore, these anabolic steroids are also chemically modified and made to inhibit rapid breakdown by the liver which results in enhanced metabolism and improved utilization. Orally ingested steroids were modified by the addition of a side chain for it to withstand inactivation of the first pass in the liver. However, these modifications are said to cause harsh effects in the liver. Injected steroids are gradually absorbed in the blood stream without the first pass in the liver.
In addition, the liver goes through a lower concentration than with oral anabolic steroids. Because of this, doctors prefer injections rather than oral. Most of these injectable steroids undergo esterification to slow down the liver’s breakdown. Anabolic steroids are common to athletes. They use steroids to optimize and improve their muscle strength and performance. Anabolic steroids are also good for the therapy of certain diseases like anemias and a rare form of edema. Testosterone supplementations have been found to be a means of male contraception. Steroids have many good uses, however, there are downsides to them, too so it’s important to seek medical advice prior to taking any course of steroids.

How To Write A Killer Press Release
One of the primary tools still used by PR professionals to garner media coverage is the press release. Now understand the purpose of a press release is to grab the attention of an editor, not to offer a word for word story to a publication. Most professionals as well as small business owners misunderstand this concept and are therefore frustrated when they can’t seem to make it work for them.
If you understand that the purpose of a press release is to grab attention then you might also begin to realize that there is a bit of an art to writing an effective one.
This art actually begins with proper format. It probably shouldn’t matter how you format a good story but editor after editor has told me that if a press release comes to them and is not properly formatted, it often doesn’t get read. Read that again if you are bit of a maverick. You want to read about your company in the news then you might just have to follow the rules.
Ultimately your story will have to stand on its own but follow this accepted format and you stand a better chance of making that all important first impression.
+ For release timing
The very first thing to appear on your release is the release date or time. If your story is for immediate release say so For Immediate Release. If there is a reason to hold some news or a seasonal deadline say so. For Release Before Halloween. Some background type releases can also carry the - Release at Will tag
+ Contact Information
Don’t make it hard for them to get in touch with you. Right under the release info state your name, address, direct phone, and email address under the heading “For more information” Remember the real point is to get them to call you.
+ The Headline
90% of all advertising effectiveness rides on the effectiveness of the headline. It is no different for a press release. Most readers will decide whether or not you have anything to say based solely on the grabbing power of your headline. Pull them in quickly. Write 5-6 attention grabbing headlines and then put your release away for day or so. Come back and see which ones still grab you. It is that important.
+ Dateline
At the start of the body of your release you are expected to provide some useful information. First the date of the release and then the city the release originates from. Put a dash after the city and then start the body of your release. ie: February 18, 2003 - Kansas City, Mo - Today in history…
+ Double space
Double space the body of your release. This probably goes back to the days when reporters made notes by pencil in the space between the lines but I guess some still do that.
+ First Paragraph
Okay, so now your headline grabbed them. Tell them what you’re going to tell them in the first paragraph. Don’t beat around the bush or try to be cute here. Hit them with your best shot.
+ Quotes and Credentials
Quotes make for interesting reading. Try to find a newspaper story without a quoted source of some sort. Add your own quotes and then add some credentials to the person you attribute the quote to. If it’s you and you’re a master plumber with 25 years of experience, then say so. “The flora and fauna was breathtaking,” said Bill Sphenkle, one of Kansas City’s most experienced plumbers.
+ Call to action
If you want them to interview or visit your website to find out more information, then say so. Bill Sphenkle is available for interviews. Just don’t hype your company or product. Nothing gets your release tossed faster.
+ End
At the end add the symbol # # #

“Can you Help Me Align Myself Spiritually?” (a request from a reader)
If you relax and just feel your inner core energy, you will feel the love and bliss which you are.
Conscious breathing helps me with this process. When I feel a certain way and I choose to change the way I feel, I just consciously breathe and bring that issue to my mind and then choose another thought or way of looking at it and decide what I wish to create in the moment about this issue. How I would like to see it unfold in future?
“I feel I am dragging emotionally, that I am stuck, perhaps depressed a bit.”
What I would say is, there is a message here for you. My question would be more how you would like life to change. Alternatively, where would you rather be than where you are? What would you choose to feel and experience emotionally now?
The answers to these questions may give you an indication of a new direction in your life. Is the issue the place, the people or just your own feelings and emotions? Really, there is nothing wrong with the place or the people other than the way I see them showing up for me.
Take a deep look at your beliefs regarding this issue, as you may have learned something in the past from your parents, partner, religion, or school that is no longer serving you now.
Beliefs underlie our thoughts and feelings and shape our actions and reactions. It is quite often our belief system that we compare feelings and emotions to.
Look deeper into yourself and reach down to your soul level, check how you feel on these deeper levels, and see what rings true here. Connect to your inner spiritual essence and check the alignment there.
If something feels right and true on a soul level, yet your beliefs are in conflict, look back to see the source of those beliefs and look deeply into the belief to see if it is actually true or just a past thought you are holding instead of releasing and letting go.
Human Consciousness is changing rapidly at the moment and we need to stay present in the now. Our awareness is naturally expanding and we are able to use more of our mind to experience both what is outside of ourselves and what is within us. Staying conscious of both levels help us to become integrated and whole.
Life is expanding and becoming multi-dimensional, and yet more connected and integrated at the same time. Take time for yourself; look within as much as you look without; and experience the full range of Life and Love which you are.

Five Quick Ways to Speed Up Cash Flow
At one point or another, almost every business runs short of cash. Whether due to normal fluctuations in demand or an unexpected decline in sales, cash shortfalls are the bane of every company, and are responsible for sleepless nights for many business owners.
Yet, there are a number of simple ways that you can reduce your dependence on your company’s line of credit and increase the cash that you need. Here are five no-cost methods to try:
Increase Receivables Collection Efforts: This is the easiest and fastest way to generate cash but, surprisingly, most companies do a terrible job of it. Start by calling all customers whose invoices are between 25 and 30 days old to ensure that they have your bill and to find out when it is scheduled for payment. These are the easiest collection calls to make and they often result in faster payment. And, it allows you to quickly rectify problems that may delay your check.
Get Payment In Advance: Another often overlooked technique is to simply ask customers for advance payment, or for a partial payment for goods and services. This approach is especially valid with large purchases, or on work where you’ll incur significant expenses before being able to deliver the final product. Most customers will agree to such a request without asking any questions.
Invoice More Frequently: Many companies send out invoices once a month, typically at the end of the month. That gives buyers who purchased early in the month up to 30 additional days to play with your money. The frequency with which you prepare bills will depend on your business, but most companies can justify preparing invoices at least weekly.
Shorten Your Payment Terms: Most accounts payable departments schedule your payment based on the terms printed on your invoice. If you provide 30-day terms, don’t expect to get paid before then. However, many customers won’t even notice if you change your payment terms to 15 days, or request payment upon receipt of your invoice. You’ll still have to nudge the same “slow pays,” but your good accounts will probably process your invoice more quickly.
Accept Credit Cards For Payment: This isn’t really a no-cost method, since you’ll have to pay a service fee to the bank that clears the transaction. But, you’ll get paid within days and eliminate much of the clerical support required to follow up on payment. Those savings alone often more than offset the service charges. And, your customers might even thank you for the frequent flier miles they pick up by using their credit card.
There is, of course, one other important way to quickly generate cash for your business, and that is to increase your attention to sales. In all but a handful of cases, increased sales will make cash flow problems disappear.
