Think Smart, Work Smart

Are you smart enough?
In a world where the majority are trained brainwashed to think hard and work hard, it is hard to imagine why so many out there fail in being productive with whatever they’re doing. After all, shouldn’t the chap who thinks hard and works hard be the one to earn more? But it doesn’t seem to be so in the real world and I think I know why.
Don’t Sell to Increase Sales
Posted by Mike Lopez in Blog on January 22, 2011
Did you already know that the most successful marketers don’t sell too much? I know it sounds crazy but that’s true for many, if not all, A-class marketers out there. Are you in for their secret?
Instead of focusing on selling, the really good marketers focus on building relationships with their prospective clients. Instead of pitching their product, they build trust. I know this is hard to do if you are still to make your first sale and I understand that feeling of success when you close your first deal. But what comes after that?

Are you locked in analysis mode?

Why I Don’t Have Another Facebook Profile
Posted by Mike Lopez in Blog on January 18, 2011
It’s been told by many that you should separate your personal stuff from your business in Facebook. I’m not writing this blog post to prove them wrong. Rather I’m writing this to explain why I only have one Facebook profile and keep everything in that one place.
Word of Warning: I am not telling you to do what I do. Do what you think is best for you.
2 WordPress Plugins for Going Mobile Compatible
Posted by Mike Lopez in Blog on January 17, 2011
I just made this blog easier to read and share on mobile devices last Friday and it was way easier than I thought it would be. A couple of plugins and added a sidebar widget and that’s it! Oh the beauty of WordPress!
But why should I go through all the trouble? More people are using mobile devices nowadays to read blogs and ignoring them is no longer an option. I personally still prefer to read blogs on my computer but that’s because I’m in front of it most of the time. There are people on the other hand who spend most of their time “on-the-go” and so the best way for them to read blogs is through their cellphones.

So you’re starting your first business and you are wondering whether or not you must hire an employee to help you out in your business. Many people will advise you against it and most of the time these people have no experience in business at all or they tried but failed and never tried again.
Before I answer this question, I want you to look around you and check if the successful businesses around you have at least one employee. Do they? What does it tell you?
