Hospital Visit

I apologize for not posting here to my loyal readers but I have been in the hospital..I just got out of the hospital Wednesday evening and hopefully I am getting well sooner..
Thanks for your continued support of this blog and my businesses..

Cheap Imports

Good morning I hope that everyone is ready to make money today.. I got to thinking a lot about how global trade effects America versus our foreign competition. I know you think this means I am going to rant on some tangent about our competition. Truth is our foreign competition mostly is beating us at our own game in all the markets worldwide. Trade is a hot button issue which is important to every business no matter how big or small you are in the pond. The problem is that our competition is beating us by production of cheaper products that they are flooding the market with all them worldwide. OK. You say well it's alright that China combined with Europe have a sizeable lead but we make good products that the world wants to buy. This is the problem we have not figured out how to market our products that will compete with these powerful trade pacts and countries like China and Germany. My thought is we need to rethink how we market our products with a clear message to our customers worldwide showing them the advantages of buying American. If you do make quality products which we definately do that here in America then your buyers shouldn't be buying from your competition. When we can as American business fix this problem so that cheaper products made in China,Malaysia and Germany don't beat our products on the world markets. I think then we will begin to end the massive trade deficit and imbalance that currently exits which is hurting our economy.

Market Predictions

Good morning to all my faithful readers of this blog. Well I hooked another anonymous scoop this day which I want to share with you. You see I am a research fanatic when it involves both business and investment. This time I pulled off a really interesting find when looking over the chart data this morning.. Most of the best financial gurus missed this one by a long shot but I found it. So here it is while the market is on a rocket ship ride past 14 thousand and could go much higher this year. The little known thing I found shows a very steep drop coming before mid year of June. So while it is great to ride the wave of green in your portfolio you better have a bottle of tums soon because the market is going do a reverse course correction. Many investors are going to get hurt by this crash when it hits a bottom of about 500 points.. This is not a flash crash but instead a permanent correction in the market due to poor home sales,weakness in the economy and climbing interest rates. So just invest in a broad range of both stocks and bonds that will weather this kind of market correction. By doing this you will limit your market risk which you need to do so you bullet proof your portfolio and your current investments..

Work Break

This is the most emotional for your employees the three mandatory half hour break times every day. The thing that really as a employer you can do to improvement of this time useage is to offer more options. You see any smart business man knows that in order to keep employees happy you have to add more benefits.These benefits can be a video game system,free lunch and other things that will increase employee loyalty. Giving never hurts when your trying to build a business and your employees are a important part of your business just as much as your customers. So the next time your management teams comes to you to say you need to make changes think about addition of some of these corporate important improvements.

News Channel ..

Yup, it is your financial guru and resident critical tactical business analyst. I just want to rave this morning over my newest ventures with my news channel. You see I have done it again a empire builder.. Oh No!! I can hear the criticism already from other business people and Wall Street investment analysts. You see I have quietly been creating a global news service which is growing in popularity. The facts speaks for themselves according to social media and Google demographic data which I track regularly. Norton News Corporation is on track to become a mainstream media outlet ..Yes, you heard me right this is a global news and information service that will eventually compete with the regular giants like CNN,Fox,ABC etc. Sounds really great to achieve this but I have been building corporate America for most of my life. This is a challenge for me to do with so many good sources of news out there but this is something I want to be offering on a global scale.. So, this year I started this news service to provide just that to a global educated audience..

Stock Market Upswing ..

Good morning to all you early birds it is the fearless critic here.  Has anyone seen the run the stock market made this week? Well it sure is impressive to run up 200 to 300 points gain and maintain that momentum all week. Normally you might get this kind of run following a sharp decline which would be a flash run up or down course corresponding to the way the market correction. This is different this week with a boat load of good economic data. You combine this with the news from the Federal Reserve bank that they are going to cut the discount rate a half a percentage point. The third part that has added more good to the economy is the news from the chairman that they are going to print and pump more money into the economic system. This has fueled Wall Street investors to buy heavy into the market this week. Normally investment gurus like myself are sceptical about the market based on long term experience. This time I have to say I am pleased with the upswing which gives plenty of opportunity to make money if you are investing in blue chips and staying away from bonds. Buying into solutions in stocks that are considered solid proformers like Boeing and Verizon is a wise choice. So, I recommend that everyone jump into the market and go make yourself some quick easy profits this week while the upswing rally continues..
Have a great profitable day.

Support People

I frequently harp on important issues here that are something that most business people don't pay attention to while being a corporate guru. You see in business good people make you money and bad people cost you lots of money when you employ them. So the backbone of any good business is your support people who do marketing,sales,tech and customer service. Yes, every good owner or manager knows that if you want to grow a successful business you need a highly skilled and trained support workforce. This unfortunately is where most companies fail to recognize that you need these types of people. You should as a management promote these types of people since the best possible future chief of operations or another type position would best be filled with a lower level with higher technical expertise. By using skilled workers you increase your productivity but reduce your overall costs of doing business. So does it work?? Yes, you need to tap your labor pool to find out who can do what within your company. A good start to finding out your companies strength is by using a internal survey distribution to all your employees. If you can't do that ask them on social media to respond to a employees survey online. You need to know these items so that you can make a proper management decision with every employee you have working for you. Simply put the support people will grow your business meanwhile costing you less than if you have to train some new outstander. Then the decision becomes easy to make with regarding who is a right fit for your company and what employees are just excess bags.. Think of these things next time you walk past the employees in your business doing your employees review process..

Milestone ..

Well I could be happy with a lot of things but I really have to rave about this blog has achieved another milestone. Yup your hearing me right I just looked at the profile report this morning and I must say thanks to all growing world wide readership. This blog averaged readership is 43 counties and growing give or take some depending on the needs of the massive amount of people that come to read this blog.page. Not to shabby considering that I started this blog because one of my former women business assistants in my company suggested that I should share some knowledge online. In my usual fashion I said well that sounds interesting but I don't think I have the time nor the patience to sit down to write anything. Well,here it is now that she proved me wrong with this blog by the interest that everyone has shown over it's  life cycle. I want to publicly thank Cassady Hurd and Karen Brownelle both my former business assistants for their valuable input with our company. Their contribution to the ideas of creative blogging have definitely shown a need by our company to include blogging as a essential part of our brand management. So congratulations to both of them and good luck on all your new ventures.

Business Phyco graphics

This morning I starting my day with the usually busy things to get done including sipping my morning coffee. Then it hit me I thought not many things in business really deal with the phyco graphics issue which really has a big important impact on customers purchasing a products or services. Well, what is phyco graphics? Good Question ... It is the collection of different emotional thoughts and responses to a various amount of data collection pertaining to a product or service. In other words if you buddy tells you that when your going to buy a car for instance he has a good deal and no problems with his Chevrolet Malibu. Chances are your going to go out to a Chevrolet Dealer to look at all the different models available for sale on the show room floor.. Then your going to remember the comments of your buddy and go ask the sales person to sit in a Chevrolet Malibu. After looking around at all the other manufacturers and models of cars your most likely to go back and buy the Chevrolet Malibu because it has a reputation for being a good car and higher brand value than say a Toyota Camry. This is a example of brand based customer phyco graphics in which the feeling of a person,family and friends influences every purchase they make in their lifetime. Every business must include this in any marketing program to create a brand that well known for value,quality and being  affordable to the customer. This is essential to building a brand that will sell itself by having a long term product or service life cycle. Simply put if your brand is well known for to the prospective customer for being worth the money chances are the customer will buy your product over and over again meanwhile recommending it to others to purchase it. This reduces your advertising and marketing budget in your business by having a brand that is known for as good investment.. Consider this to be essential to growth in any business for your company to beat your competition by knowledge of your customers demographics and phyco graphics.

Have a great day..
