Getting Rich Isnt a Bad Idea
You've seen plenty of articles claiming to offer you the secret
to getting rich. Some ideas, however, are thin veneers
covering some scheme that often involves multi-level
marketing or a service with questionable intents. Recently I discovered a site and an individual who, well, tells
it like it is. When you visit (http://www.makedanielrich.com ) you will find a web site operated by a young
man who wants you to participate in his pursuit of the
American dream. How can you make Daniel rich? First of all, you can buy his "Make Daniel Rich"
merchandise. T-shirts and stickers are the main offerings.
Each product boldly encourages people to "Make Daniel
Rich." The products are offered through cafepress.com. Second, you can make a donation. Some people might
make a one-time donation; others might choose to provide
continuing funds for this young entrepreneur. People make
donations to all sorts of things they know nothing about, so
why not donate to help someone achieve his dreams? Third, you soon will be able to subscribe to Daniel's pod
cast in which he will provide commentary on today's news
and other items of interest. Maybe you are skeptical about such a business idea. I
asked the marketing director for a major record label to
reflect on the idea. He praised the idea as ingenious and
then ordered a shirt to show his support. In a world where people want to trick you out of your money,
it is refreshing to see a young man with a plan that sets him
apart from others who are trying worn out approaches to
marketing. What university would teach such forward-thinking
approaches to marketing? That's the cool part of this story.
You see, Daniel attended college for a while but never
completed his degree. He told me that he didn't see
schools offering new ways to solve problems and he wasn't
interested in learning old ways that never worked the first
time around. So, today he works for a music distributor
offering his revolutionary marketing ideas to a company that
believes trying something new isn't a bad thing! Now I bet you're wishing you had thought up this idea, huh?
Think about it! Dr. Terry Hadaway is an author and university professor who
is recognized as a leading authority on adult behavior and
adult education. He is the producer of Think Ezine (http://www.thinkezine.com
) and the author of several articles and books.

Your Company Needs A Mission Statement; Make It Count
Does anyone remember that book "Built to Last" done y the Stanford class and professor? Well change that to "Built to Merge." My grandfather was personal friends with Bill Hewlett and David Packard and I bet they would not have wanted this merger with Compaq either. It is interesting that one night about 3 in the morning I was reading that book and decided to change or mission statement and focus on the things that meant the most to our team and our customers. I stayed up all night writing that mission statement to make sure it was in line with the books comments on what it takes to make and keep a company great. This was about 5 years ago when "Built to Last" was the talk of the business world and it was written up in many of the newspapers, and magazines I was reading at the time. WSJ, Financial Times, Investors Business Daily, The Economist, NY Times, etc. Even hit the best sellers list for a while, not bad for a business non-fiction book by a professor.

Entrepreneurship: Insight and Closer Look At The Entrepreneur
Life as an entrepreneur is the American Dream. To be able to be your
own boss, own your own business, never report to anyone else, work
from home, make unlimited earnings and income potential, etc. Owning
your own business most definitely has its perks. But on the other hand,
there are the downsides. However, being an entrepreneur myself I view
these only as challenges. The will to work hard, fanatically, solitary
isolation, being slammed of your ideas from other people, the
uncertainty of making the business grow to fruitation are all quite scary
considerations. But it's best to know that it is out there, that it is the
negative side. To be willing to gamble your money, other peoples
money, to invest a massive amount of time and energy into your
business is something that should be considered.

The Power Of Personal Environments
I've got to admit, I'm a big fan of comfort. I like it when things in my world are stable and reliable. For example, my home is my sanctuary. I live here, and I work here.

I was stressed and cranky. My husband might not have been quite so generous and called me downright crazed.

Every year through out our long history spanning over a quarter of a century, The Car Wash Guys Team had been careful to watch changes that affected our business. One year we are watching droughts in the North Western Hemisphere and how the water supply affects our operations. We needed the water to wash cars and our countrymen need it for farming and drinking. Water is life. We also saw heavy El Nino seasons on the Western United States, British Columbia Canada, Mexico, Central America and parts of Western South America; imagine running a car wash business when it rained almost 60 days straight and we are not talking the drizzle like in the North Eastern US each year.

For those of us who grew up with parents who worked for businesses rather than owned them, the world of business can be quite a mystery. Even more so if we've dared to try to start one of our own. There is the factor of what type of business to start - a product or service business. There are the issues of doing a good market analysis, licensing the business, understanding the codes of law governing businesses, and determining just what type of business structure to choose - especially if the business will have employees. For example, should we start a sole proprietorship or a corporate business? It's a lot to work on, and it's not an overnight process to the road of success.
