			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Are you ready to take that leap into a new career ? How do you prepare yourself for a mid-career transition? Maybe you&#8217;ve thought of selling you&#8217;re business, moving on to your second career. Maybe you are considering going into business for yourself for the first time.</p>
<p>Life changes, we change, careers change, customers change, so you need to be able to keep up with the changing times. If you are lacking in different &amp; new career skills it can lead to a stagnate career.</p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">&#8220;The Only Permanent Thing In Life Is Change.&#8221;&#8211;Heraclitus</span></h2>
<p style="text-align:left;">Whatever the reason for the change, <strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">GET UP AND MAKE A MOVE TODAY! DON&#8217;T HOLD  BACK, NEVER PUT OFF TILL TOMORROW WHAT YOU CAN DO TODAY! </span></strong> Here are some suggestions to consider before making a change:</p>
<h2><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">1. PLAN</span></span></h2>
<p>It is one thing to say that you want to change, but it is another thing to create a timeline and follow through. First, you must decide that you will take action to make a move and do it! Also, in your steps to take action, make a list of your strengths and weaknesses in business, education, life etc&#8230;..</p>
<p>Determine if you have the personality or skills that fit your aspirations/ goals.  Consider if you know how to sell, do you have good computer skills or need training on the latest technology, do you have organizational skills or accounting skills etc&#8230;&#8230; Make a timeline for your goals and aspirations, stick to it! Whatever your strengths, consider a career that emphasizes them.</p>
<h3><span style="color:#0000ff;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">2. GO BACK TO SCHOOL OR TAKE A CRASH COURSE</span></span></h3>
<p>Going back to school or taking a quick one day or two week class to retrain youself, sharpen your skills &amp; knowledge, can help you to switch careers. Going back to school gives you a chance to learn a new profession and how to break into it. You may even be able to network with contacts in your new industry to learn some extra skills free of charge.</p>
<h3><span style="color:#0000ff;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">3. PACKAGE YOUR SKILLS FOR MAXIMUM EFFECTIVENESS</span></span></h3>
<p>When you&#8217;re contemplating a career change, you need to sell yourself. If you&#8217;re self-employed, you may not need a resume but if you&#8217;re seeking work as an employee or a single, independent contractor to other businesses, you might. Determine the appropriate sales tool for your business resume, portfolio, Web site, personal recommendations etc&#8230; Make sure yours is top-notch.</p>
<h3><span style="color:#0000ff;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">4.REACH OUT, NETWORK, TALK TO EMPLOYERS, MENTORS &amp; FRIENDS ETC&#8230;<br />
</span></span></h3>
<p>Sometimes others can help you to discover what you want to do and some individuals may have contacts. If you haven&#8217;t networked before, start networking. It is important to meet as many people as possible to get some insight into the careers you are considering.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">5. ENVISION YOURSELF IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS<br />
</span></span></h3>
<p>Can you visualize yourself in a different profession? Can you see yourself as an accountant? Owning a sports club? owning a car dealership?, working as a chef ? Do you like what you see? Will it hold your interest? Is this a career you can see yourself doing for the next 5, 10 or 30 years?</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">6. WHAT ARE THE COSTS FOR THIS CAREER CHANGE?<br />
</span></span></h3>
<p>When you own your own business or just changing career paths, there are many details in preparing &amp; pursuing your new career venture, there are many details associated with owning a business, selling the business or closing its doors. If you are just changing career paths or moving from one business to another, can your finances handle this type of change? If you are currently working for someone else, are you ready for several months of financial instability while you switch career paths or get your new business off the ground?</p>
<p>As you can see, that there is a lot to consider when you are making a career change, whether you want to own your own business or work for another company. There are so many more things that you will discover when you get started on your list today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>You&#8217;re at the top of your career and doing what you love. You&#8217;ve climbed the ladder of success or you&#8217;re on your way to the top. Do you ever get that feeling of<em><strong> &#8220;I&#8217;m a business owner , I can do it all myself because after all, I mean&#8230;I built my business from the bottom up by myself, I can handle it.&#8221; </strong></em></p>
<p>Yeah, sure you probably can handle it all and become the <strong><em>&#8220;jack of all trades but master of none!&#8221;</em></strong>  Trying to juggle a million, bazillion things at once can slow you down, make you unproductive and make you feel lonely at the top. But wait&#8230;..Do you feel that?  You know that feeling of loneliness.  Are you lonely at the top? Trying to stay on top of business can take alot of work but you want to spend most of your time out in the business market, working with clients, trying to get new clients, maintaining the ones that you have, improving on your expertise and focusing on your core business focus.</p>
<p>You have to manage alot of things that are not your core business focus and they have little to do with your expertise. If you take a look at your daily workload, much of your day is spent doing things that have little to do with working with your clients, networking or growing your business. Some days you have to do things just to keep your business in business.</p>
<p>Many business owners are paper pushers, appointment setters, they do their own office administration, research, sort and respond to emails, create newletters, billing/ invoicing, update their own websites or blogs, the list goes on and on, it never ends.  </p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#008000;">But wait&#8230;..Isn&#8217;t that what you hire assistants for, to help cure some of this loneliness?</span></h2>
<p style="text-align:left;">Yeah, that&#8217;s right. That&#8217;s what an assistant is for. If you&#8217;re a business owner, you&#8217;re the head honcho. So why don&#8217;t you have an assistant, a Virtual Assistant that is. You should be working with a Virtual Assistant, namely this <a title="Clerical Business Solutions" href="http://clericalsolutionsinc.net/default.aspx" target="_blank"><strong>Virtual Assistant</strong></a>, who is someone who can help you to conquer the monotonous piles of endless work off of your desk and your computer.</p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#008000;">So you can free your time and relax your mind.</span></h2>
<p style="text-align:left;">Try outsourcing to a Virtual Assistant.  A <a title="Clerical Business Solutions" href="http://clericalsolutionsinc.net/default.aspx" target="_blank">Virtual Assistant </a>can help you out in many ways but you&#8217;ll never know until you consult with one. Virtual means that they don&#8217;t come to your home or office (hence the name Virtual Assistant) who can save you lots of time and money in office space and business expenses.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">The great thing about a Virtual Assistant is they can sit hundreds or even thousands of miles away from you and still take the load off of your busy workday. Which will enable you to be more productive in your business life.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Keep in mind a (VA) is not an employee (as some people may seem to think) but rather a beneficial business partner. Many VA&#8217;s have more business skills than the average in-house employee and cost half as much.</p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#008000;">Where do I find this beneficial business support who can help lighten my workload?</span></h2>
<p style="text-align:left;">Well you&#8217;ve come to right place, you can find one right here at <a title="Clerical Business Solutions ~ Virtual Assistant &amp; Business Consultant" href="http://clericalsolutionsinc.net/default.aspx" target="_blank">Clerical Business Solutions</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Good day to all my fellow business owners, career seekers &amp; go getters. Get up and get your day on the way. Now that the weekend has passed it&#8217;s time to get back to you&#8217;re daily grind and get moving on your day. Get up and eat a healthy breakfast, get focused and take charge of your day. Let nothing stand in your way. Don&#8217;t be so glum, today is a great day, rejoice and be glad in it. It&#8217;s filled with new beginnings, new places to go and people to meet.</p>
<p>In your hustle and bustle to try and make sense of it all. Broaden your horizons and meet new people:</p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">Business Owner meet your (VA) Virtual Assistant</span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">(VA) Virtual Assistant meet the Business Owner.</span></h3>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">Business Owner says:</span></span></strong> Boy, my schedule sure is getting tight around here. I have invoices to fill, appointments to make, meetings to attend, e-mails to research and respond to and so many more details. On top of that it&#8217;s disorganization and it&#8217;s just adding to one big mess. Pushing through the details so they won&#8217;t add up on me and getting through my daily grind seems like I have no time left for other things.  I can&#8217;t be up late tonight, trying to play catch-up.  Just trying to keep my business in business has reached its limits, I need to make a change.  Where do I go from here?</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong><span style="color:#3366ff;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">(VA) Virtual Assistant says</span></span></strong>: Hey business owner, this VA is a true business partner who can help you to see things clearly, help you to improve the way that you do business and set you on the right track. This VA can handle many different things for you.  Once you and this VA combine forces and become business partners, you&#8217;ll wonder why you didn&#8217;t outsource sooner.</p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">SO WHAT&#8217;S NEXT?</span></h2>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">First things, first:</span></strong></span> You the business owner must come to the realization that you need beneficial support and outsourcing to a VA is the way to go. A VA doesn&#8217;t subtract from your business they add to your business and your business growth, which leads to business success. You may be thinking &#8221; going virtual&#8221; with outsourcing seems a little far fetched, I&#8217;m not sure. Stop second guessing yourself, you know that a Virtual Asistant is the way to go.</p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">Stop hesitating and Start delegating!</span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">Make your next move your best move and outsource!</span></h2>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Second Step:</span></span></strong> contact this VA, Clerical Business Solutions, for a consultation to discuss your business needs. Ask about her services and rates. There&#8217;s no way that you could handle everything on your own without beneficial business support. Partner with this VA business owner to help you climb the ladder of success and achieve your wildest dreams.</p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">Time for action</span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">Not tomorrow, not next week, not next month but today! </span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">Take action today Get your consultation and support today!</span></h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Credibility is important in any business or project. Credibility has many sides to it, so learn and know the elements of credibility.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Integrity</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Expertise</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Good Judgement</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Communication</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Likability</span></strong></li>
</ol>
<p><strong><span style="color:#008000;">1. Intergrity</span></strong></p>
<p>Intergrity is always key. How can I trust the?, Let me count the ways. Integrity is a major part of credibility, it&#8217;s a commitment to truth, fairness and objectivity. You should maintain a track record of Integrity. Companies who are commited to what they say and do, who do what they promise and are open about their practices and policies are perceived as more credibile than others.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Look at your behavior, invest some time into clarifying your values.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Build a reputation for honest and ethical behavior.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Own up to your mistake, don&#8217;t cover them up, prove that you can rectify the mistake</span></strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="color:#008000;">2. Expertise</span></strong></p>
<p>Being competent is always key. Do you have the skills to pay the bills? Can you do what you claim to know how to do? Are you competent?  Competence comes from your knowledge, education and/ or experience. You may not have a college degree but do you study and learn about different subjects, that can assist you in growing in your business?  If you do have a college degree, do you continue to learn about different aspects of business or careers?</p>
<p> Competence and expertise go hand in hand. What ever your case may be always continue to learn. In the business world learning never stops. Your competence turns into expertise when it is put to the test.  </p>
<p>Being competent shows that you are an expert in your field or on a certain subject. If you are very competent &amp; knowledgeable in what you profess to do and can handle the tasks that you say that you can do, then you show your expertise.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Always continue to study and learn about topics related to your career field, it&#8217;s an everyday thing in business or careers, continuous learning will broaden your horizons, keep you up to date on what&#8217;s new in the business world which can help you to continue to succeed.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">If needed, get a license or certification in your field.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Doing or requesting high-visibility projects can test your competence, expertise and provide a track record</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">When working with a client, stand up for what you say that you can do, show and prove.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">If possible, participate with key people in projects at your company to show your level of competence.</span></strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="color:#008000;">3. Sound Judgement</span></strong></p>
<p>Having sound judgement is good judgement. Credibility is shown through the decisions that you make and how well you take action. When you have sound judgement skills, you have some ability to analyze compelx situations, ask intelligent questions and make good decisions.  A person with sound judgment usually has both cognitive and intuitive gifts.  You are able to see towards the future, see the bigger picture and have a better perspective.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Don&#8217;t be afraid to ask others for their opinion in many situations.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Don&#8217;t make too quick judgements, take a decent amount of time to think things through.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Stay on top, stay ahead of the competition, always be up to date on the current trends in your industry.</span></strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="color:#008000;">4. Communication</span></strong></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be so arrogant with your expertise. Listen to others to help gain some insight into their perspectives. Being able to <span style="color:#008000;"><strong>LISTEN TO OTHERS</strong> </span>and being understanding is a big part of communication. Better communication skills show that you can be trusted to listen and work with the best interest of others in mind. If you become known for building commitment and cooperation, for being level-headed and fair, everyone will want you on their team or turn to you for advice.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">LISTEN TO OTHERS &amp; LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Demonstrate concern for others’ values, goals, and objectives</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Take time to understand another’s point of view before refuting or rejecting it</span></strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="color:#008000;">5. Be Likable</span></strong></p>
<p>You build credibility when you are likable. People build trust in you, buy from you cooperate with you and approve your proposals.  You got to kill&#8217;em with kindness. It may even hurt you to do it, especially with arrogant people but don&#8217;t be too fake about it. Being too fake shows. Strive to have and show genuine kindness.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Look for the brighter side to things, talk about results and don&#8217;t harp on problems.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">If you have problems, talk about them in a professional manner, learn from your mistakes, make notes, hear everyone out then come to a civilized conclusion and put the matter to rest.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">If the problem rears it&#8217;s ugly head again, review your notes from the past then you&#8217;ll know how to deal with it.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Kill&#8217;em with kindness, go out of your way to be nice, show concern to clients.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Most IMPORTANT: Express gratitude, thank your customers for their business.</span></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Having good judgement can help you to make sound decisions. When you know and understand the elements of credibility and how to use them they can boost your credibility and your business.  </p>
<p>All of these elements makes credibility a package deal, you can&#8217;t have one without the other.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Have you ever had those feelings of when you&#8217;re fustrated with a lot of things on your plate , you may feel like your going to lose your mind. In some cases, you may feel like you might lose control.</p>
<p>I had a conversation with a new client of mine and he made a sad &amp; doubtful  statement, <em>&#8220;I&#8217;m at my wits end and about to lose control, because I&#8217;m trying to run a business, a non-profit organization and everything has become so frustrating, I just don&#8217;t think that I have the passion for this anymore, I just can&#8217;t seem to get it together.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Since he was feeling so down in the dumps about everything and was seeking help. He decided to contact me to get some relief and support for the things that he is trying to accomplish. That&#8217;s just great because he came to the right place. He is a northern business owner and the ceo of a small non-profit organization. He was under a lot of pressure with his personal life, his business and his non-profit organization.</p>
<p>From our conversation he just felt like he was going insane with so many detailed things on his plate. He was basically ready to throw in the towel and call it quits. I let him know that if he really wants this to work out that he shouldn&#8217;t just give up yet. It may not be the end of the road once you take some time to think things through and implement some very needed steps to restructure things so he could regain his passion for business. So he and I worked out a solution to get things moving in the right direction and to show him that all is not lost.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure that at some point you may have had that feeling of , <strong>&#8221; Why am I even doing this, I don&#8217;t have the drive anymore&#8221;; </strong>about life, business, career or a project that you&#8217;re working on. Yeah sure, you can just toss in the towel and give up. So, what&#8217;s that going to prove? Yeah It&#8217;ll prove one thing, that you gave up.</p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#008000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">You don&#8217;t want to loose control, go insane</span></span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#008000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">and end up like this guy:<br />
</span></span><span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://clericalsolutions.wordpress.com/2008/06/10/stop-the-insanity-of-an-office-meltdown/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/ScyR6fPr1m8/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></h2>
<p>I know that getting fired really sucks or you&#8217;re business may be in the dumps but if at all possible try to keep a cool head, don&#8217;t go insane like that guy in the video. When you are thrown a curve ball and things seem like they aren&#8217;t going in th right direction take some action to get some needed support. </p>
<p>You may say <em>&#8220;I got stressors and issues that you wouldn&#8217;t believe, and Renee you probably wouldn&#8217;t understand.&#8221; </em>You just never know because I&#8217;m very in touch with entreprenurial nature. I don&#8217;t want you to lose your passion for your business or other aspects of life.</p>
<p>Hey you!, Yeah, I&#8217;m talking to you, don&#8217;t hold you&#8217;re head down in shame any longer. Shake the dust off and get the support that you deserve. I want you to verbalize your thoughts and feelings to me. Now take the next step and get some help. So you can regain that passion and that warm fuzzy feeling for business again.  </p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">Ring the alarm, alert the presses, write down you&#8217;re thoughts get them out in the open and contact me</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Managing a business or projects can be like a roller coaster ride. You need to have a solution to help save money and cut costs for your business or projects. That solution is to outsource and contract with a <a title="Clerical Business Solutions-Virtual Assistant &amp; Business Consulting" href="http://www.clericalsolutionsinc.net/default.aspx">Virtual Assistant.</a>  With rising gas prices, bad economy and the high unemployment rate; Wouldn&#8217;t you want a better way to save money?</p>
<p>You think that you can&#8217;t afford to outsource? You can&#8217;t afford not to. So think again. <a title="Clerical Business Solutions-Virtual Assistant &amp; Outsourcing Services" href="http://clericalsolutionsinc.net/default.aspx">Virtual Assistants </a>can help individuals, businesses, organizations, homeschool families, other Virtual Assistants etc&#8230; If you have employees you can still use Virtual Assistant services.</p>
<h2><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#008000;">Outsourcing to a <a title="Clerical Business Solutions ~ Virtual Assistant &amp; Business Consultant" href="http://clericalsolutionsinc.net">Virtual Assistant </a>can provide you with:</span></span></h2>
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">practical solutions for your business or projects</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">help you add to your business growth &amp; efficiency</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">increase your business productivity</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">save you time &amp; money in your business or projects</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">help you to become more organized &amp; focused etc&#8230;.</span></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Just like the little childrens story, <strong>&#8220;The Little Engine That Could&#8221;</strong> which said <strong>&#8220;I think I can, I think I can, I think I can&#8221; ; I think I can outsource and you should!!</strong>  Stop trying to do it all yourself because the more time that you spend on tasks that could be outsourced, the more money that you waste.</p>
<p>If you are looking to hire employees or a temp, you waste more money than you save; in terms of all the overhead that you have to pay for &amp; other business related expenses. You don&#8217;t have to pay for any of those expenses when you contract with a Virtual Assistant. You can eliminate all of the overhead which is a great benefit to you. You just pay for the services that you want and that saves you money in the end.</p>
<p>A Virtual Assistant <strong>DOES NOT</strong> become your employee, they become a partner in your business or projects. That saves you money in the long run. When you consider and choose to work with a <a title="Clerical Business Solutions-Virtual Assistant &amp; Outsourcing Services" href="http://clericalsolutionsinc.net/default.aspx">Virtual Assistant</a>; don&#8217;t think of them as being your employee. That&#8217;s when you think that it costs too much to outsource.</p>
<p>You have to get out of that employee/ boss mindset. When you have that type of mindset, it keeps you from doing what&#8217;s best for business or projects in order to save money. That&#8217;s outsourcing to a Virtual Assistant.</p>
<p>Virtual Assistants are business owners just like you and they understand the ends and outs, the ups and downs of business. They can help to assist you through the tough times of your business or projects. They know what you&#8217;re going through.</p>
<h2><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#008000;">By working with a Virtual Assistant you can save by:</span></span></h2>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Keep your customers and clients coming back for more. Create Loyalty In Your Business. In many cases, no matter what; loyal customers will buy from you and choose you over the competition all the time. For some of your loyal customers/ clients they will choose you no matter what your competition is selling or how cheap they sell it. You could operate by the 80/20 rule: successful companies get 80 % of their business from 20% of their customers.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Create loyalty in your business to keep your customers coming back for more!!</strong></span></p>
<p>If your customers are choosing you no matter what the competition is selling then they may be doing this because of the high quality of service that you provide to them.</p>
<p>Can you be sure that new customers will stick around if you go after them with glossy marketing campaigns?  In some cases, selling to people that you already know can prove to be more beneficial in the long run. Your regulars (your loyal following) will advertise for you by telling people about your business.  That&#8217;s word of mouth advertising, which you can&#8217;t buy.</p>
<p>Using loyalty cards, sales gimmicks or fancy customer management software can support your goal to establish loyal clients but it won&#8217;t help you to keep a loyal following. Small businesses have an edge over large businesses in the customer service department.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Work to draw loyal clients and keep them coming back for more:</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#008000;">KNOW YOURSELF AND BE TRUE TO YOU</span></span></h3>
<p>Really know and define your business. You must know what your business is about and how you fit in your business market. When you really know this, you can articulate better as to what your business is all about to others. Make your selling point reflect your passion.</p>
<p>For instance, if you are a professional artist who has a passion for creating oil paintings, center your concentration on providing top quality paintings instead of just rushing through some paintings to get them together just for show. Top quality shows, it stands out. Taking a decent amount of time &amp; dedication to detail shows also.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">If you offer top quality, expertise and consistency;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">clients will trust you more for your services and guidance.</p>
<h2><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#008000;">KNOW YOUR NICHE</span></span></h2>
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Do you know your niche?  </span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Are you successful? </span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">What makes you different?</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">What keeps the clients coming back for more, is it convenience or great bargains?</span></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>You can&#8217;t be the best at everything so focus on the one or few things that you are great at. Focus on what makes you successful and improve on it all the time. When you really know your niche, do some bragging. Show your clients why you&#8217;re better than the competition and why they made the right decision to do business with you.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#008000;">SURVEY YOUR CUSTOMERS</span></span></h3>
<p>You can ask your regular clients/ customers what they expect from you and what you can do to make them happier. Ask this same question to other customers; like the one time customers after they purchase something from you or if they are just browsing.  </p>
<p>Take into account &amp; identify your repeat customers, see if they have any similarities ( example: if they are they same type or purchase the same things, ask the same questions etc&#8230;). When you discover this, your discovery can help you to see which customers have values that match yours &amp; which customers you need to attract so you can grow your business.</p>
<p>Once you survey your customers, it will help you to know which products or services to add or eliminate, it will help you to see if you need to seek out new areas of business to explore. A survey will help you to create incentive programs which your customers will really like.  </p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#008000;">Guarantee Your Products Or Services.</span></span></h3>
<p>Deliver on what you promise to guarantee. Respect time and budgets. Survey your customers after a sale about your delivery or implementation. In the event that something may go wrong, take action quickly or compensate your customers for any inconvenience. Get an answer for problems before they are brought to your attention. By doing this, you may have a greater chance of them doing business with you again and again.</p>
<p>If a customer doesn&#8217;t complain to you, they will just complain to other people about your bad service or products. That&#8217;s word of mouth advertising and that&#8217;s bad for business.  </p>
<h2><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#008000;">Make It Personal</span></span></h2>
<p>Get to know your customers. Go beyond finding out their names. Find out something about them. Look at the details that they share, the nonverbal cues that they give you. </p>
<p>I can&#8217;t stress enough as to how important it is to listen to your customers. Listen to their needs and find ways to solve their problems. Always, always thank them for their business and show them appreciation. Send them thank-you cards, newsletters, reminder cards, gift baskets etc&#8230;.   </p>
<h2><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#008000;">Hire Like-Minded Help.</span></span></h2>
<p>Do you want repeat business? The type of interaction that you or your employees have with your clients, sets the stage for if you will have repeat business.</p>
<p>You can hire like-minded help such as a Virtual Assistant, which is someone who can help you to stay on top of business. You can work with a Virtual Assistant whether or not you have employees. It important to have someone on your team that has the same attitude and skills to help your business grow. </p>
<p>A Virtual Assistant is in the business of helping your business grow and helping you to implement procedures that can improve on your relationship with your clients. A Virtual Assistant doesn&#8217;t subtract from your business they add to your business. A Virtual Assistant can help you to see things that you may have overlooked. They can consult with you on many aspects of business.</p>
<p>You can outsource some of your work to a Virtual Assistant. That can be a stress reliever for you and your employees. You can give your employees the authority to make decisions which are in the best interest of the customer.</p>
<p>Include your employees in on your decision-making and strategy implementation. When an employee feels that they have a big part in your business they pass the loyalty on to your customers.</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#008000;">Go Beyond Your Customers Expectations.</span></span></h3>
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Do you want your customers to remember you? </span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Do you want your customers to have a pleasant experience with your business?</span></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Well exceed their expectations. Give them easy access to information by posting FAQ&#8217;s on your site, make it easy for them to contact you with questions, make it easy to find out delivery or payment schedules etc&#8230;..</p>
<p>Make it a point to deal with your clients high-priority issues. Look for and implement solutions for their problems. Go the extra mile to meet their needs. Never ever make them feel like their request is ridiculous.</p>
<p>Add a little something extra. For instance if you are a seamstress or own a clothing store give out a discount for having two items tailored to their size or for special events (weddings, birthdays etc&#8230;),  a salon owner could give out a free pedicure after the customers 5th service, a bakery can give out free small samples of cakes, pies or certain drinks etc&#8230;.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t take your current clients for granted, you must keep and hold their interest in your business. Even if you are trying to bring in new business. You don&#8217;t want your clients to check out your competition. Keep them wanting more. </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Create loyalty in your business to keep your customers coming back for more!!!</span></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>With the official start of summer on its way, I&#8217;ve got the beach on my mind. You&#8217;ve got to get up and get away from the office sometimes. But you may be wondering, How can I get away with the rising prices in gas and everything else?  You may not have to go very far from home to get some vacation time. You can do something in your local town or just relax at home.</p>
<p>Whatever you choose to do just shut down the computer and close the office for a few days. NO business phone calls, NO business meetings, NO paperwork etc&#8230; <a title="Clerical Business Solutions-Virtual Assistant &amp; Outsourcing Services" href="http://clericalsolutionsinc.net/default.aspx" target="_blank">Outsource your work to this Virtual Assistant. </a></p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#008000;">JUST CLOSE UP SHOP, GET UP AND GET AWAY!!!!!</span></h2>
<p>If you are fortunate enough to get up and get away, it can prove to be beneficial for you, your family and your business. Even if you are in the  beginning stages of your business, new growth stages or just running your business. Getting  away may not be a bad idea.</p>
<p>According to a recent survey, <a title="American Express Small Business Survey" href="http://home3.americanexpress.com/corp/pc/2008/sbvp.asp" target="_blank">American Express OPEN Small Business Monitor ( a semi-annual survey of small businesses), </a>it found that 59% of small business owners are planning a vacation away from the office this summer, it&#8217;s the same percentage as last year despite the bad economy.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">34% say that they get away when they are stressed or if they&#8217;ve had enough.</p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#008000;">When will you schedule your getaway?</span></h2>
<p style="text-align:center;">Getting away from the office can be a good remedy if you are feeling overworked  or stressed out. It can leave you refreshed and revived.</p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#008000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">What can a vacation do for me?</span></span></h2>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#008000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">De-Stress:</span></strong></span> taking a vacation can help to keep you motivated, so you can keep going in your business. Too much work without a break can leave you stressed and overwhelmed.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#008000;">Gain A New Perspective:</span></span></strong> Day in and day out, you&#8217;re doing the same old thing in your business. It can leave you stuck in a rut or atrophied and you don&#8217;t even know it.  You need a new outlook on business so you can innovate better or develop new habits when you return to work.  You&#8217;ll gain a new perspective and be more refreshed.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Build Better Relationships:</span></strong></span> Sometimes when you&#8217;re in business you may have to sacrifice some relationship time with others who may be near and dear to you. Others have had to sacrifice a lot for you and your business. Now it&#8217;s payback time; time to pay back their scarifice with some devoted quality time to them.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="color:#008000;">Get Some Exercise:</span></span></strong> Many business owners spend all day at their desks or doing other monotonuos work. GET UP, GET OUT, GET AWAY, stretch your legs, stretch your mind, stretch your body and try swimming, jogging, bike riding, art class, music class, dance class, silent reading etc&#8230;.</p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">That&#8217;s good for your mind and body.</h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">There&#8217;s no downside to getting away from business, there&#8217;s always an upside.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>You may have heard a lot of talk about how being eco-friendly can help with global warming and your business, so don&#8217;t brush it off. It seems as though that trend is here to stay. &#8221;Going Green&#8221;, can help your small business in a bad economy. It can help you at home and the workplace.</p>
<p>It can only happen if you are ready and willing to take the necessary steps to create an eco-friendly business. Does &#8220;going green&#8221; for your business sound too difficult?  Think again.  You can start with a few easy steps:</p>
<ul>
<li>Shutting down your computer for a few hours or don&#8217;t let it run all day, all night or over the weekend.</li>
<li>Reduce waste: it uses up the earths resources and your money.</li>
<li>Turn off all electronic equipment: don&#8217;t have them on standby for long periods of time. Turning them off can reduce your energy consumption and your electric bill.</li>
<li>Take a walk, ride a bike or take public transportation</li>
<li>Sell a green product or service : sell something or provide something that won&#8217;t create too much waste, unnecessary spending or unnecessary traveling.</li>
<li>Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!!!!!</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="color:#008000;">Are you ready to take the challenge and &#8220;Go Green&#8221;?</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">There is a huge market for &#8220;green&#8221; products or services, so it make good sense for your business to sell a green product or service.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Now is the perfect time to make money by helping the planet.</p>
