Communicate more & boost your bottom line
Last week we talked about 10 symptoms of possible management problems. Now let’s look at what causes these problems.
Remember the old game of telephone you probably played as a kid? You start with a message, pass it around the room by whispering it in the next person’s ear and then laugh hysterically when the last person repeats what they heard and it sounds nothing like the original message.
Same thing happens in business – except it’s not so funny when the message gets distorted and you’re headed in one direction while half the team is headed in the

The Owner and the Victims
I am not a fan of victims. I’ve yet to meet a happy, active, successful victim; and those adjectives describe the people I prefer to hang around with. I’ve gotten pretty good – if not exactly diplomatic – at ignoring victims’ “victimness” when I can’t banish them from my life.
My happy, active, successful clients more often than not come with a victim or two among their employees. These people, in their current form, hold the organization back. The higher their role in the company, the bigger (and badder) the effect.

Money You Don't Need to Spend
This is another article in a series about finding profitable ideas and putting them into play. The series begins here.
In his book about starting and growing entrepreneurial businesses – Ready, Fire, Aim – Michael Masterson, self-made millionaire and best-selling author, reveals that 80% of entrepreneurs, in launching new businesses, spend their time, attention, energy and money on the wrong things. These include:
