Generational Lifestyle Characteristics, and 3 Take-Aways for Managers
"Company culture and how it fits in with employee lifestyle are important considerations for your business these days. Company culture, in fact, could literally be thought of as a recruiting tool, so the culture you create may determine the employees you attract. Thanks to Peg Corwin for sharing this post on the BizSugar community."Investing in Human Capital to Grow Total Net Worth
"Hi Jenny, What a great strategy for investing in a solopreneur business! Investing in yourself as an entrepreneur theoretically improves the range of services or products you can provide and the price you can charge for them. Just like investing in brick and mortar, equipment, or technology, you increase the opportunities your business can leverage by making investments in your human capital and thus in your own potential! Thanks for sharing!"One of the most important keys to success is having “high expectations”.
"Tom, I’m a big believer that outlook determines your success. It’s a good idea to be a bit realistic on one level when you start your business as far as keeping your startup costs and thus your break even point low, but on another level, it doesn't help to have low expectations of your success. As the late Zig Ziglar once said, “Attitude, not aptitude, determines altitude.”"Reddit Founders Talk About Their Startup Days
"This is the second time I've heard at least part of the Reddit story and it fascinates me on several levels. First, I think it's revealing that the most important thing when creating an online success, or really any business, is to create community. Second, I think it's important to remember that the best brands are so much more than a business. They are a solution for transforming people's lives.

"What a great inspiration! Some Ziglarisms have become a part of culture and are so often repeated their meaning can sometimes be lost. Reading these famous quotes, many with direct implications to the business leader and entrepreneur, is an inspiration. So are the videos. Thanks for sharing! "Small Businesses See Success on Cyber Monday Too
"It's not surprising that many of the same businesses find success on Small Business Saturday and increased sales on Cyber Monday too. Offering products online gives small businesses a huge advantage over much large competitors allowing them to offer unique products and services regionally and even sometimes globally while at the same time saving on overhead and labor costs."When Networking is a Waste of Time - The Small Business Playbook
"Gary This goes to your second to last point and what I see as a lot of the real problem with social networking. If your network consists only of your peers, people who do what you do, not people who might buy from you, then how can it help your business? This isn't just a problem with networking but with marketing and sales too. If you are a social marketer and every member of your network is a social marketer, then you're all after the same customers. Who would buy your services, and, more importantly, who would refer your work when the rest of your network will be pursuing the same clients themselves?"Revamp Your Online Marketing in 2013 with These Savvy Strategies
"Thanks, Spencer. And thanks to Adam for publishing this post. I think increasingly niche social networks aimed at specific communities (like BizSugar aimed specifically at small business owners and operators) are really a great alternative to the bigger social networks.
