Feeling Driven to Marketing is Not Being Market-Driven

September 29, 2017 By Jan Triplett Leave a Comment

Are you driven to marketing to fear, money, or making things better.

Are you driven to marketing out of fear, money, or making things better?

Are you driven to marketing? This is not the same as being market-driven.

Do you hate marketing your products and company? If you feel that you’d rather have all your teeth extracted than do anything with marketing, you could hate being “marketing driven”. You’re not alone. Most of our clients (except the advertising and marketing companies) don’t say “Whoopee, I get to come up with and implement my inbound or outbound marketing”.  [Read more…]

Heroes and Mentors

May 15, 2014 By Jan Triplett Leave a Comment

Heroes and mentors are inspiring. They are both unique. They can be household names or unknown and unsung. Both are remarkable in their own ways. Both have the potential of great power and influence over others.

Everyone needs heroes and everyone needs mentors but they are not usually the same person. If you listen to others, you will hear the names of both. You will also get an idea of the value of each one. This can help you in your own quest to find the right person to help you develop and grow your business and your life. [Read more…]

Your Mentor May Be Close at Hand

May 11, 2014 By Jan Triplett Leave a Comment

Where can you find someone who is just what you need? They may be sitting next to you reading the paper. Look around.

Personal Mentors

I’ve had several wonderful personal mentors. My godmother, Northwestern University professor Alvina Krause, had “teas”. At these salons, I learned the fine art of  conversation. My grandmother taught me the importance of family. My mother  helped me find my voice and be comfortable being myself. She always said, “We grew up together”. Maybe so, but she was also my guide.

Mentoring Is All About Choice

May 5, 2014 By Jan Triplett Leave a Comment

Do you want to find a mentor? Do you want to be a mentor? As Pamela Ryckman says, the author of Stiletto Network: Inside the Women’s Power Circles That Are Changing the Face of Business.,  “Mentoring—or at minimum connecting with a variety of people in all industries and age groups—has never been more important.”

Having a successful experience as a mentor or as a mentee is dependent on the choices you make before and during the relationship.  You can be better prepared to use mentoring if you understand what each side is expecting and what choices have to be made. If you already use mentoring, consider how you made your choices.  There are ways to improve the experience for both of you. [Read more…]

Tweet Me Some Tweets

March 12, 2014 By Lindsey Allen Leave a Comment

Work lazier not harder.

I like to create a post or a page then tweet about it. In the past, I have created the post / page, run its URL through bit.ly to get an abbreviated URL, then tweeted about the post / page just created.

A friend of mine, Dr Jan Triplett of the Business Success Center, web site of ownersview.com wanted to be able to tweet directly from a just completed post /page without the extra steps I just described above. [Read more…]

Pivotal Career Moment for an Intern

September 2, 2013 By Jan Triplett Leave a Comment

John Hamilton, Production Manager

John Hamilton, Production Manager

I attended a recent NBX Meetup.  The table topic question being asked was, “What was one pivotal moment in your life or career that got you to where you are today.”

I thought about my own pivotal moment, a forwarded email that I received from a St. Edwards University advisor in late April of this year. A small business strategy firm was looking for an intern. After a few interviews, I got the internship at the Business Success Center. [Read more…]

Read the related post before you hire an intern. There’s a “contract” or pact between employers and interns that should be fulfilled.
