Are you spending more time trying to get new clients than actually working with them?If the answer is yes, then these three simple ideas will help you.First, have you ever asked for something and got something different to what you thought you*d asked for?

I have written a lot about how fast, easy and safely you can make a bundle of money via buying manufacturing businesses. But one question that sometimes comes up -- and it's a good one -- is how do you deal with manufacturing businesses that have locations in two (or more) different cities or provinces and you don't want to mess around travelling to and fro?My answer: It makes it more difficult to manage

The thing that tripped off this series of events was the broken window. I would argue that had that broken window been fixed the day after it’s breaking then the person who broke the second window and left graffiti would not have done so.
