Confidence Matters

September 15, 2009 By Jan Triplett Leave a Comment

Screen Shot 2014-10-30 at 10.43.15 PMLack of confidence robs us all of possibilities and a better future.

If you are feeling the sales pinch, maybe it is because you are not demonstrating your own confidence to others.

And, confidence comes first. Without confidence, there is no sale — whether it is healthcare reform, a home, car, job or whatever you have to sell.

I can  guarantee you, as a business owner who has been through 6 downturns, what goes down comes up (and vice versa). [Read more…]

Getting paid is our reward for doing a good job.

Getting paid is our reward for doing a good job.

It’s no joke not getting paid or getting paid late by customers. We have been through six of these downturns & five upturns since we started. This can always be tough, even in good times,

Hidden Business Management Gem

#1 Hidden Gem: Austin History Center

#1 Hidden Gem: Austin History Center

What’s a hidden business management gem? One that makes you feel powerful, all knowing. One that you love to tell those special peers about so they can be part of the inner circle. I have one I want to share with you.

Mine is the Austin History Center. Before you say “Huh?”, this is not a museum although it has exhibits. It is not just about Austin because it has materials — particularly papers — that go beyond Austin, Travis County, or Texas. It is not a library although it has books. And maps, family archives, newspapers — over 1 million items of primary research and published documents from Austin’s founding through today. It is considered one of  the US best archival libraries with great archivists to help you find what you did not know even existed. [Read more…]
