Product Releases - Are They Always Necessary?
Let’s talk about product releases. Say you took a picture of a vintage automobile that was being displayed at a ‘cruise in’ with many other cars. Today, the photograph is being considered for purchase by an art gallery. Do you need the owner of that car to sign a release, in order for you to be able to use the photo? Also, the gallery, in turn, will have the photo for sale. Since this vehicle is not being used for endorsement of a product, how liable are you?”
And The Group Has To Reach Out
In an article entitled Beating the Empty Chair Syndrome, I talked about individual membership responsibility. Now, I will advance ideas of how an organization can be accountable for the way in which they support each member’s successful membership.
10 Rules for Associations (or Groups) to Connect With Members
1. Above all, have a process to welcome visitors or guests to meetings and events. Make them feel like they’ve done you a huge favor by attending. (They have!)
2. Give membership information to guests, but just don’t hand them a packet and expect them to read it. Set aside time and assign a person to go through the material. That person can also encourage the guest to apply.
Create Referral Systems That Really Work
I think it’s the dream of every professional to have their business grow by referral only. Imagine not having to cold call or advertise! What a way to grow a business.
Can it really be accomplished? Yes it can. In fact, I know a handful of professionals that not only grow their business by referrals, but have SO many potential clients, they need to turn some away!
So the question is: If it really DOES work, why haven’t most of us created a business which is filled by referrals? The answer lies in understanding several important issues. Generally, people don’t know how to properly ask for referrals and don’t put in enough effort to create a steady stream of them.

Therefore this is the first of three parts of this article. All three parts of this article can be accessed by following the links below.
The Assumption Clause
Should you lie on your resume? That was also a question I asked the men that taught me the game. Here are some of their answers:
I could not justify putting things on my resume that weren’t true. However, I wanted to know more about that Assumption Clause. It’s a great little tactic that men use in everyday situations, and they’ve perfected it in business. Women have been subjects of this maneuver many times. The conversation below shows how this strategy works.

Prices Of Promotional Umbrellas
By Gareth Parkin
When it comes to promotional umbrellas, you can definitely find something that will fit your promotional budget. Although not one of the cheaper promotional products on the market today, many are priced low enough that they are affordable for most businesses. If you live in an area where rainy days are common and plentiful, buying promotional umbrellas in bulk may be a cost effective way to get a lot of publicity, each time one of them in opened!
Some of the more reasonably priced promotional umbrellas include:
Where Does Your Time Go?
Like all of us, I just experienced a week that seemed to fly by, and I wondered “what did I DO all week?”. I’m feeling a bit behind the 8 ball. So I reviewed my past week to see how I actually spent my time. I had some surprises. Try it yourself.
Categorize in broad categories all your past week’s activities. As an example my categories were:
1. Domestic stuff (cooking, cleaning, gardening, any home projects)
2. Self-care (exercise, maintaining wardrobe, anything that makes me feel and look better)?
3. Work (I divided it up into marketing, organizing or coaching clients, learning, and administrative)
