Using the X-Factor To Gain Competitive Advantage
Gain significant advantage in your industry by developing an X-Factor in your industry. Follow these 7 steps taught by entrepreneur Barrett Ersek, the founder of Happy Lawn based in Glen Mills, PA to catapult your company into the leadership role in your industry. Facing the Social Media Frenzy
As a business owner, I'd been too busy to realize there were so many social networking sites, let alone use them! I get the growing importance of blogging and leveraging social media for marketing. Twitter alone grew 700% in the last year to 10 million visitors. What I didn't get, though, was how hard -- and easy -- it could be. Leadership Lessons from J.T. Kirk and Randy Pausch - beating the “no-win”scenario
I won't give away the ending for those of you who haven't been able to fit the new Star Trek movie into your schedules yet but I will say that there were definitely some unexpected plot twists from director J.J. Abrams for us "Trekkie" fans. And - much to my surprise - there were also plenty of leadership lessons to be found...including the power of the positive mindset!
