    Family Business and Conflicts
    What is a Family Business? A family business is basically any business in which the majority of the ownership or control lies within a family. Involvement of members of family in a business can bring with it its own complexities because the line between the business system is sometimes separated by a thin line from the family system. Sometimes these 2 positions overlap causing all sorts of conflicts.Families involve emotion with
    Are there ezines that you receive that you just can't wait to read? I know I have 3 or 4 that I read as soon as they hit my inbox, and others that I print and put in my "reading box" next to my desk.

    What do you think makes me want to read those few right away?

    It's the personal connection I feel to the author, even if I don't know that person (some I've met, some I haven't yet). Besides the valuable content I get each time I read their newsletter, I am most interested in finding out what's happening with them, personally and professionally.

    As they share more about themselves and their lives, I get to know, like and trust them (and their products or services) over time (and you know that people usually only buy from people they know, like and trust, right?). And eventually I tend to make the investment in them and their offerings.

    For example, I was (and still am) a subscriber to Chris Barrow's "More Profit in Less Time" ezine for about a year when I learned through it that he was holding a live event in NYC. I signed up (at $200), attended the event, and left as a client (for $450/month). Do you think I would have invested that kind of money if I hadn't gotten to know, like and trust CB and his materials? Of course not.

    So, how can you put more of YOU in your ezine to make that connection with your readers? Try some of the following:

    The Planning of an Incentive Program
    It is often easier to apply incentives where the results can be measured with reasonable accuracy, or statistically compared to some previous reward program result. To ensure the success of your incentive program, you must place most emphasis on:· The achievability of the standards or targets you are encouraging participants to achieve.· The reliability and/or availability of the system or people you use to record the

    Straightforward Advice on Writing an Awesome Resume
    10 Resume Tips and Improvements to Create a Better Resume: Tip 1: Size does not always matter. Here is the thing about the "one page rule" -- it is not always the case. If you are just coming out of school and searching for an entry level position, keeping it to one page is a good bet. If you have tons of relevant (and recent) experience, and it requires two pages to list it, then pat yourself on the b

    Top Down Management and Trust...Or Rather the Lack of It!

    Are You Good, Great Or Awesome?
    Are you good, great or awesome?One of the early lessons I learned about speaking (and business as a whole) was from Lou Heckler.Man, talk about a great last name for a humorist, huh?Anyway, here’s what Lou told me in 2003. I never forgot it:There are three kinds of speakers in the world.First, there’s a GOOD speaker. After he’s done with his talk, audience members come up to him, shake his hand and say, “Goo
    ree things that are happening in your life right now that you could share with your readers? You only need to get as personal as you feel comfortable with, so don't feel that you need to share everything, by any means. Just a couple of things that you can share comfortably that your readers might find interesting as well as help them feel more connected to you.

    For example, are you going on vacation soon or did you just get back from a trip? This is usually an easy topic to start with, and don't be surprised if your readers write to you to suggest hotels, tell you their experiences when they visited the same locale, etc.

    Or do you have a pet that you can relate stories about? You'll be amazed at how many of your readers will feel like they really know you if you share your latest "adventures with Rover" stories.

    > Ask for help. If you are trying to make a decision about something, ask your readers for suggestions and feedback. To continue the vacation example above, say you are considering taking a cruise. Ask your readers for suggestions as to their favorite cruise line, or which ones to avoid. They'll be happy to help!

    Or for an another example, I know when we go to sell our house in the next few years that the first people I'm going to let know about it are my ezine readers. Maybe none of them would be interested, but they might know someone who is!

    > Add photos. I try to add a photo every week, if I can (it's not hard when I take a lot of pictures of Chloe!). A photo of yourself is also a really good idea. It goes a long way in helping your readers see you as a real person.

    Try to incorporate these ideas into one section of your ezine, either at the beginning or the end. You can call it anything you like: A note from you, personal reflectio
