Standing Out in the Crowd

Author: Kaitlyn Miller

I know I’m either going to show my age with what I’m about to say or, worse, brand myself as hopelessly anachronistic. Regardless, I’ve found our current business culture to be increasingly impersonal. If you have any doubt about this, feel free to pick up a phone, dial up any of your service providers and try to get an honest to goodness living, breathing human being to talk to on the line. Sure, you may indeed get one, but you’ll wear the skin off your index finger pushing the number pad trying to get through the automated prompts and you’re likely to spend the better part of an hour waiting on hold waiting.

I probably shouldn’t be using that example. I know, I’ve sold my fair share of those automated attendants in my time, but I wanted to make a point. We’ve become reliant on technology and doing business through computer proxy. It’s the norm. Exceeding limitations means breaking out of the norm, though. Expanding your business takes more than doing what the rest of the crowd is doing. With that in mind, let me make a radical suggestion that really shouldn’t be that radical, advertising with a personal touch.

No, you don’t have to personally answer every single call that comes into your office. What I’m suggesting is to print business cards (if you’ve got out of date or monotone cards, update your wallet with professional, color business cards) and brush up on your social networking skills. I’m not talking about knocking on doors and hitting people with aggressive sales pitches. What I’m talking about is actively engaging people in your community. You shouldn’t lead with your card, either. Save the business card for the tail end of your conversation, after you’ve made a personal connection. In the process, you’ll make some friends, find new customers and become a more prominent and recognizable face in your community.

That’s the key. When you put a human face on your business, people will feel more comfortable spending their money with you. Given the choice, most consumers would rather deal with someone they know in their community than another cold, faceless corporate entity. This works both ways too. Since your customers will be friends and neighbors instead of walking dollar signs, you’ll find that your levels of service and commitment to delivering on your promises will increase, which will further bolster your customer base.

It’s a win/win situation that requires a very minimal investment - just the cost of business card printing and a small expenditure of your time. It could be the thing that finally makes your business an enduring, local institution. Who knows, it might even inspire you to turn off the automated attendant and answer your phone when a customer calls. Hey, I can always dream, right?

A Complex Environment Demands Entrepreneurial Freedom

Author: Alien

This shift in our view of the world is so striking that a new field of science has emerged devoted to the study of complexity and chaos. Where once managers thought their work was amenable to analysis and control, now they flounder in an unpredictable flux of what the great economist Schumpeter called "creative destruction."

Entire industries are being transformed, as in the convergence of the computer, communication, and entertainment fields. Roughly half of all jobs are being eliminated by automation, leaving masses of workers floating in temporary positions. Consumer markets are splintering into an endless assortment of unique cultural subgroups-from eco-feminists to Rush limbaugh fans. And get ready for more competition among utilities that will make today's bruising battles between AT&T, MCI, and Sprint seem mild; all of the "Baby Bells" are likely to enter the fray, and a free market energy system is evolving in which users choose among competing power suppliers.

Naturally, this upheaval has led to a reshuffling of economic structures. U.S. corporations completed more than 42,000 mergers and acquisitions between 1976 and 1993, and large organizations, such as IBM, are disaggregating into decentralized units, which in turn form alliances with other firms. The effects have been dynamic. For instance, the undisputed American lead in computers is a direct result of these flourishing business alliances among small enterprises that constantly realign talent, knowledge, and resources into productive new combinations.

Meanwhile, the constant advance of information systems is encouraging even more restructuring by making it easier and more efficient. The Internet, for example, has become famous for creative change, but this is just the beginning of an enormous explosion in electronic interaction as open-system architectures makes all types of hardware and software compatible. We may soon see the decline of Microsoft's monopoly in PC operating systems, just as IBM's monopoly of mainframes ended earlier.

The conclusion: all this electrifying communication across shifting economic markets is short-circuiting the old chain of command. As we will see in Chapter "Knowledge Enterpreneurs", the rapid growth of teleworking is producing changing assemblies of people and enterprises that constantly form and reform on the grid of global cyberspace to cut across hierarchies everywhere. Business­Week described the result as "electronic corporations made up of individuals and groups scattered all over the world." Where the Industrial Age produced firms organized by "vertical integration," the Information Age is creating "virtual integration." John Hagel, a partner at McKinsey & Company, put it this way:

As the costs of using IT systems fall, we're going to see a widespread disintegration of U.S. business and the emergence of very different corporate entities.

Gundagai, New South Wales: a Historic Town Along the River

Author: dusty road

Gundagai is a town in the Australian state of New South Wales located along the big Murrumbidgee River at the foot of Mt Parnassus. Just a stone’s throw away from the Muniong and Yambla Mountain ranges, Gundagai is popular for its old bridges, monuments, and memorials.

The town’s colourful history has made it a favourite topic of a number of poets, musicians, and writers. Some believe that one reason for this is because the Five Mile Creek north of Gundagai used to be a popular point of rendezvous among teamsters, drovers, shearers, and bush travellers.

Gundagai was first discovered by Australian-born Hamilton Hume and Briton William Hovell in 1824, when the Wiradjuri Aborigines dominated the area. Europeans first arrived two years later. In the 1830s, a village was formed until the Gundagau was gazetted as a town in 1840.

The town was ravaged by a flood in 1844 resulting in the deaths of around 83 people. A local Aborigine, Yarri, was commended for his heroism during the incident. He was among those who saved stranded residents using his bark canoe. A marble headstone was erected in his memory at the Gundagai cemetery where he was buried in 1880.

A 15-year gold rush swept the town in the 1850s before another “gold fever” resurfaced in 1894. The most famous historical mines include the Robinson and Rice’s Mine southwest of Gundagain and the Prince of Wales Mine a few mile west of the town.

Some of the most popular historical tales in Gundagai were of bushrangers who killed two policemen. The Ben Hall bushranging gang killed Sgt Edmund Parry while holding up a mail coach near Jugiong in the 1860s. Another gang led by “Captain Moonlite” killed Senior Constable Webb-Bowen during a hostage incident at a farm in 1879. The remains of the two policemen are interred at the Gundagai cemetery.

Must-See Places:

? The Dog on the Tuckerbox bronze sculpture is perhaps the icon most closely associated with the town. It is situated across a restaurant and gift shop complex 8km north of the town on the Hume Highway. Opposite the Dog on the Tuckerbox, which is part of Australian folklore, is the Snake Gully Tourist Centre.

? The Marble Masterpiece was completed by mason Frank Rusconi for 28 years. It is a miniature Baroque Italian palace standing 1.2 metres high within a formal square. Each of the 20,948 pieces of marble gathered throughout New South Wales was cut, turned, and polished by hand. The centre also featured a replica of St Marie’s Cathedral located in the outskirts of Paris.

? The Gundagai Historical Museum displays old coins and crockery retrieved from the original townsite, which was ravaged by the flood. A T-model Ford, wagons, machinery and equipment, clothing, gold scales, and a sundial are among the collection.

? The Gundagai Courthouse is one of the town’s oldest buildings. It was where “Captain Moonlite” was tried.

? The Niagara Café is an old Greek restaurant established in 1942. It was once visited and commended by former Prime Minister John Curtin.

? The Mt Parnassus peak has fine views of the town and river beds. Magnificent lookout spots also include the Rotary Lookout, Mt Kimo, and Reno.

Gundagai Bridges:

? Prince Alfred Bridge – believed to be the first truss bridge in Australia

? The Sheahan Bridge – Australia’s second-longest bridge after the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It is made of concrete and steel

? The Railway Bridge was completed in 1869. It has sections made of timber and sections made of iron. It used to be part of the old Hume Highway but at present, it is only open to pedestrian traffic.

I am a constant traveller to Australia and had a memorable stay at a Gundagai Accomodation motel while going to the Riverina Highlands.

It would help if you have high resolution pictures because this would ensure that once you print them, they would not come out pixilated.

2. Crop
You must edit out objects not really included in the picture because it would be senseless to leave it there. In order to get the best picture and make the most out of your digital printing, screen and focus on the image that you want to emphasize. Remove any unnecessary objects or elements that do not do anything for the picture.

There are editing tools that could be found on many design software. The cropping tool is one of the most basic. It allows you to capture the detail and angle you want and preserve it.

How to Formulate Formidable Statements for Ads Done Through Offset Printing

Author: Rachelle Ann

Have you ever written advertisement copies for your products? A bad copy will not look good even if you use offset printing for the materials that contain such.

There are three parts of the body of your ad copy. These are the lead, the proving statements and closing lines.

Among the three, the first and last part are the most easy to do. When you are doing your lead, you follow certain styles to come up with a catchy one.
• You can ask questions.
• You can cite a witty sample.
• You can quote a famous line.
• You can crack a joke.
You will plant something with your lead and answer that on your closing line. The lead will help the client decide if they want to read the ad further. That means your ad is a success if its recipient get to the closing line part.

And that is the pressure that lies on the proving statements. Your clients have gone that far. But they still have the option to put the ad down if they find it full of crap. So do not fall on this trap. Let your proving statements prove that you have good products. Let it make a mark and leave a positive impression enough for the client to read all through the closing line.

Proving Statements
It is given that your clients are holding your ad. That means that they are not really expecting that you will say anything bad about your own business. You won’t use offset printing for your materials if you will only ruin them by your words.

So how do you strategize in making those statements?

1. You can cite testimonials.
You can use those positive testimonials that your previous clients have told you or written you about. This will be more effective if a known person will testify as to how effective your product is or how good the people are in your company.

Do not go overboard though. Do not invent the words for the sake of the ad. You still have to be true and sincere.

2. You can use endorsements.
This will require an additional cost. But if you’ve got the right person to commend your products to your target market, then by all means, do so. You can get a celebrity, a known individual and an expert in your field.

3. Be proud of your awards.
Not all companies may have these. So if you have a lot, especially from credible award giving bodies that have something to do with the industry, then use such tool. This will play an important role in convincing your clients.
4. Business background
Are you affiliated with any larger companies? Or maybe you have been in the business for so many years already. Or you may also be part of a group of renowned businesses. You can boast all those to the people who will be getting your ads.

You have so many things to say. You just have to know how to say them right through your ads. Match those words with offset printing and your ads and your business will surely go a long, long way.

How to Formulate Formidable Statements for Ads Done Through Offset Printing

Author: Rachelle Ann

Have you ever written advertisement copies for your products? A bad copy will not look good even if you use offset printing for the materials that contain such.

There are three parts of the body of your ad copy. These are the lead, the proving statements and closing lines.

Among the three, the first and last part are the most easy to do. When you are doing your lead, you follow certain styles to come up with a catchy one.
• You can ask questions.
• You can cite a witty sample.
• You can quote a famous line.
• You can crack a joke.
You will plant something with your lead and answer that on your closing line. The lead will help the client decide if they want to read the ad further. That means your ad is a success if its recipient get to the closing line part.

And that is the pressure that lies on the proving statements. Your clients have gone that far. But they still have the option to put the ad down if they find it full of crap. So do not fall on this trap. Let your proving statements prove that you have good products. Let it make a mark and leave a positive impression enough for the client to read all through the closing line.

Proving Statements
It is given that your clients are holding your ad. That means that they are not really expecting that you will say anything bad about your own business. You won’t use offset printing for your materials if you will only ruin them by your words.

So how do you strategize in making those statements?

1. You can cite testimonials.
You can use those positive testimonials that your previous clients have told you or written you about. This will be more effective if a known person will testify as to how effective your product is or how good the people are in your company.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Family

I had a friend once who had intense, frequent thoughts of her own death. She imagined that she was going to be hit by a car. Although she was in therapy, she was not getting the help she needed, and before long she found it difficult to drive her car, fearing an accident. She so feared the power of her thoughts that she eventually became afraid to leave her home for fear of being hit by a car. She was 23, and the last time I heard from her, 10 years later, she was still housebound. To preserve her live she imprisoned herself in her home and stopped living.

Many people with Obsessive Compulsive disorder (OCD) have frequent thoughts of catastrophic death, either their own or that of their family members. The anxiety they feel when thoughts pop into their mind is so powerful that they can come to believe that their thoughts have the power to create the imagined catastrophe. To anyone else, that sounds downright crazy, but for the person experiencing the obsessive thought it seems very real.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a common topic on the talk show circuit, but what most people don't know is that most of us have some degree of obsessive and or compulsive tendencies. Obsessions are when you can't stop thinking about something, like worrying about whether or not you locked the door. Compulsions are when you feel compelled to do something, such as repeatedly checking to see if you really did lock the door.

Compulsive or obsessive tendencies don't become a problem unless they begin to verge on the irrational, or they begin to negatively impact your life or the life of those around you. For instance, you have to check the front door several times in order to feel secure, or you begin to feel anxious, worrying that the door might not have been locked properly. You might even return home prematurely in order to appease your anxiety.

One of the most devastating problems that results from a parent with irrational obsessions or compulsions is the negative impact it can have on the lives of their children. A parent that is overly afraid of germs, unhealthy foods or engaging in specific activities will inadvertently teach their children to fear the world.

I have seen children that were never allowed to jump on a trampoline or to stay overnight with a friend because of their parent's heightened anxiety and irrational fears. These children are being psychologically crippled by their neurotic parent. The fear based parent is forever changing who their child becomes, preventing them the freedom to explore the world around them or to live life to their fullest potential.

A parent terrified of their child being injured or dying may prevent them from swimming at the shore or bike riding with their friends. A parent who makes their child pay the price for their anxiety will unwittingly raise a child who reacts in one of two ways. Either the child will become rebellious, angry, and unable to discern between safe and unsafe activities. Or the child may adapt to the parent's neurotic control by learning to see the world through a filter of fear, creating emotional paralysis.

Living in a constant state of fear is a miserable, unhappy way to exist. But imposing our fears onto our innocent child is the saddest of all outcomes.

There is hope, but it requires the parent to choose the mental health of their child over their fears. Ask yourself, "Which do I love more, my child or my fear?"
It sounds harsh, but that is what it comes down to. Will you refuse treatment and choose instead to allow your irrational behaviors and thoughts to negatively impact your family, or do you choose to protect your child from psychological harm by getting help for yourself?

Facing your fear is nearly impossible without professional help. If it was easy you would have done it already. But addressing your fear is one of the quickest "fixes" in therapeutic terms. To help you with life immediately, a medication called an SSRI may be prescribed. But to get permanently past your obsessive-compulsive tendencies you will need the help of a skilled cognitive/behavioral therapist.

With professional help you will learn how to identify your irrational thoughts, how to replace them with rational thinking, and how to work through your fears. Unlike many types of therapy, this process can take as few as 6 sessions, and rarely more than 6 months.

Imagine your life becoming free from anxiety and fear in as little as 6 weeks to 6 months. Six months is going to come and go weather or not you get help. How do you want to be living six months from now? How important is it to you to protect your children from emotional harm? Bite the bullet. Get the help. Choose life!
