If you are like most businesses owners, you’ve experienced overwhelm in your business at one time or another. Maybe you experience it regularly and for good reason. Hundreds of things are pulling at you at one time. You’ve got marketing going, production to oversee, calls to return, employees that need your advice. It’s never ending right?

Recently we asked which was more important: new customer growth or repeat business?
The answer depends on your business goals. If you want fast-paced quantum growth, you should concentrate energy on adding new customers. But if your goals are more incremental - if you envision continual year over year growth in the 10 to 20 percent range - booking repeat customer revenue is far easier than adding new customers.
(Of course, don't lose sight of new customer acquisition; d... - Before Going Into Business By : James Little

The progress that Sarbanes Oxley Act seeks to make in corporate governance is best understood by drawing an analogy with the total quality movement. In the days of statistical quality control, companies looked at quality after the fact and measured defect rates in a sample of their final output. This was not helpful since companies could not undo the damage, i.e., they had no way to recover the costs incurred on the rejections. The Japanese brought about a paradigm shift by i... - Thinking About Thinking - Part 1of 2 By : Paul Lemberg
How much time do you spend just thinking? Take a guess - how much during any given day, week or month? I'm don't mean the kind of thinking you do while driving in your car, commuting on the train, during your morning run, or even in the shower. I'm referring to the kind of thinking you do ensconced in your office, or your den, or perhaps your garden. You are not reading a book or a magazine, nor watching TV, nor listening to music. You are simply thinking.
