How many of us are in conflict and need to be better matched with our personal lives and opportunity?

 

How many of us have a loved one that have been displaced or lost their job?  Maybe you are one of the unfortunate people without a job?  Millions of Americans are in the same position.

Many of the displaced workers are finding it impossible to find a comparable job. Maybe the answer lies in their path forward. Just maybe you being kicked out of your last job presents an opportunity?

Introduction:

The days ahead are going to be challenging so this blog is an extension of last week’s encouragement to have a Plan B.

We are use to having it all but that will not always be the case.  The economic projections are seasoned with encouraging news but lurking beneath is the real truth.  It’s time to consider diversifying your household income as your Plan B.

 

Introduction:
The 21st Century has been filled with change and uncertainty.  For some of us, this time period has afforded luxuries and accumulated wealth while others have not weathered the transition as well.

I think you will agree that the ahead looks far more different than the lifestyle we have grown accustomed to.  This question was presented to me recently; do you have a Plan B?

We dedicated January to help you get your business in the best shape for 2013 and beyond. Our goal at The Institute is share the steps that make our clients successful.  This final blog in our series on the fitness of your business focuses on one of the most challenging aspects for people in business.  Growth is the result of a series of stretching exercises that connect us with resources and partners. 

This blog is the second in a series focusing on getting you and your business in the greatest shape for 2013.  The Institute outlined the key first step businesses should take at the beginning of the year to test, tone and strengthen our businesses and skills.  Successful businesses and ventures strive upon winning business concepts and carefully crafted plans; the topic of this week’s blog.  For Social Entrepreneurs, the success of the venture in 2013 has even broader implications so let’s strive to achieve our best. 

 

The beginning of the year is an excellent time to get our businesses in shape or to finally launch your great idea.  Just like a fitness trainer helps our bodies to stay in shape, we as Social Entrepreneurs and business owners have to continually test, tone and strengthen our businesses and skills. What shape are you and your business in? 

Entrepreneurs are like mad scientist.  They both experiment with crazy concepts and ideas until they reach a level of success. The steps along the way may not look pretty but persistence can lead to success.  The concept of failing is not embraced in many aspects society but isn’t that how we really learn.  Entrepreneurs learn from their failures (lessons learned) and turn them into winning concepts; for Social Entrepreneurs, the great idea will make a profit and huge difference.
