Quick Hit: Small Business Failure
Every small business that makes it — leaders who turn their business into a true gold mine — has SOLVED the problems raised in this article.
They start with a good idea. They organize for success and learn to out-think… out-smart… out-hustle the competition at every step.
Their actions all lead to greater customer confidence, trust, and satisfaction.
Their value proposition is well-communicated.
Money is made, growth is fueled, and the business becomes a well-oiled profit machine.
Quick Hit: Small Business Success
Small business success is enjoyed by people who have the right knowledge and the right set of tools.
The fact is that most (70%) of small business owners will work themselves to death and never break out of Stage-1 Subsistence.
Which is WHY we created MyQuickStrat™ — the perfect companion to accounting software like Quickbooks, ZOHO, etc.
Quick Hit: The Midas Touch
Everyone knows the story of old King Midas who wanted everything he touched to be turned to gold.
Most see the moral as the downside of greed, but I see it more as the ‘law of unintended consequences’ at play.
We know every businessman and woman wants to turn their ideas into a real gold mine… to realize the fruits of their labor.
Small Business Success Is All About Thinking Strategically
As CEO of The TQsmart family of sites I thought I would end this year with some advice for next year.
Advice for people in small businesses who want to grow and turn their hard work into a pile of cash and great memories.
Advice for people who are working too HARD and not seeing the fruits of their labor.
Advice even for myself and team of people all working together to build extraordinary new products.
Business Success: The Empowerment Habit
According to Chronos, “Empowerment entails creating an environment that fosters growth. For small businesses, empowerment can take many forms, each with the potential to enhance your organization’s efficiency and profitability, as well as your ability to work with others toward common goals. Sharing power might be hard at first, but focus on the long-term benefits of improving the function of all the various aspects of your business.”
3 Vital Rules of Business Success
Follow these 3 rules and you have a real shot of achieving entrepreneurial greatness.
Don’t, and no matter how hard you work… how hard you want success… it just won’t happen.
Yes, I am the proverbial expert in this matter!
I have tried it both ways.
A couple of times I skipped rule 1 and 2… resulting in total disaster.
The Small Biz Paradox
The Small Biz Paradox…
The dilemma — you want to grow your small business to become a titan of industry.
The paradox is that your business cannot grow any bigger than its leaders.
It will never grow beyond your abilities because you simply will not let it.
In the end, the more you try to grow, the faster you will fail…
Rising Star or a Dog With Fleas?
The Business Dream…
Please take a moment to THINK about your business goals.
Maybe you are a SOHO (Small Office Home Office) dreamer.
Maybe you have grown to experience the joys of a rapidly expanding enterprise.
Or maybe you have just passed the big hurdle moving from basic subsistence to full sustainability.
What now?

The Midas Touch in a Single Word: Strategy
Smarter Business Starts With a Smarter Strategy.
Today is a great time to think about the year ahead, what you must do to increase market share, attract new business, and build greater value.
That, of course is the desire.
But the reality is, most businesses will simply ignore the idea of creating an actual strategy, instead, attempting to throw a bunch of random tactics at the day to day issues every business faces.
Which is why the business failure rate continues to ravage the hopes and dreams of entrepreneurs everywhere.
The Power of Unconditional Commitment
Total Commitment…
As part of the launch of our 2019 Midas Touch Bundle we will be talking about big issues, but in a highly condensed format.
Today it is on the power of total commitment.
As we say in The Golden Game, there is a big difference between INTEREST and COMMITMENT.
Think about this the next time you order bacon and eggs.
The hen is merely interested in your breakfast…
The pig is totally committed!
Commitment can be thought of as your intention to produce a result.
A-B-C: Always Be Closing
Leading A Sales Revolution…
As part of the launch of our 2019 Midas Touch Bundle we will be talking about big issues, but in a highly condensed format.
Today it is on the process of turning a prospect into an actual paying customer.
As we say in The Golden Game, there is a big difference between MARKETING and SELLING.
Marketing is all about values and establishing the customer’s wants, desire and need for what you have to offer.
Selling is the belly-to-belly dance where you part the prospect with money, provide him a fabulous product and service, and he presumably becomes your customer for life.
Leadership Is Innovation In Action
Leading Innovation…
As part of the launch of our 2019 Midas Touch Bundle we will be talking about big issues, but in a highly condensed format.
Today it is on the connection between leadership and innovation.
If your business is a rising star, you know the power of hyper-fast innovation… and have mastered the leadership skills required for hyper-growth.
If you business is more of a problem child, you will benefit from this thinking.
Nothing Happens Until Someone Sells Something…
How a Master Business Strategist thinks about Sales Management…
According to the American Marketing Association (AMA), Sales Management is defined as “The planning, direction, and control of personal selling… including recruiting, selecting, equipping, assigning, routing, supervising, paying and motivating as these tasks apply to personal sales force.”
Sales management is essential to the attainment of an organization’s revenue goals in an effective & efficient manner through planning, staffing, training, leading & controlling organizational resources.
Winning In Business is a Street-Smart Affair…
Street-Smarts Rule…
It takes all kind of smarts to make the world go around.
Here’s an observation from J. B. Smoove…
“There’s book smart, there is street smart, there’s relationship smart, there’s too many different kinds of smarts to know all of them. Everybody doesn’t know every kind of smart. There’s money smart, there’s movie smart, there’s computer smart. There’s just too many different kinds of smarts for people to know all the smarts.”
Thoughts On Money & Opportunity
Make More Money…
This is simple…
Seize more opportunities!
How?
Pay attention to everything around you:
Become an Opportunity Magnet
