Profile Picture

Profile Pictures This is a subject that I want to write about because I think that many people do not take the importance of what it can do to their branding! I have networked on alot for sites for my business. Each time I clicked on a members profile the FIRST thing that stuck out was their picture. That was the first think I noticed on all of the thousands of profiles I have viewed! Now be honest, you look at the photo also in the beginning to the process of getting into the profile! Now thi… Continue

You need a website..... so get one!

Having a website is not that hard to do. Technology has made it where just about any one can create a website for little or no money. I did a quick search for some of the sites that offer such free services and many of them are professional looking and offer the opportunity to upgrade your account to offer more features. Yet if you only need the basic services of the free websites, then I completely suggest trying them. I think most people get scared thinking they can’t do it, they no little ab… Continue

You will Change

When you start to focus on what you desire – YOU WILL CHANGE! “Things do not change; we change.“~ Henry David Thoreau ~ As you start to focus on what you desire – your behaviors will begin to change. And as you begin to reach your goals and receive your desires – you will change. If your desire is to have more money, and you focus on having that, you will change – you will find yourself behaving with more ease of spending as your money increases. You will begin to think and act with mo… Continue

Critical Thinking - What Is It?

Critical thinking is a term that has become the newest buzz word. In reviewing the American Heritage Dictionary definition of ‘think, thinking’—one finds a broad in-depth definition—one that includes the definition of ‘critical thinking.’ Why then have we coined the term ‘critical thinking’ as if it has a new meaning and those who aren’t in the ‘know’ about what critical thinking is—well, they just aren’t as smart or astute as those who use the term ‘critical thinking.’ In my ‘thinking’ and und… Continue

Dear fellow Chamber of Commerce members: your emails hurt [you].

Many many small businesses and micro-businesses are naively or knowingly generators of uninvited and unwelcome e-marketing and e-sales “content”. Lured by the extremely low cost of email marketing, these stressed out, downsized (and desperate?) businesses assume that more is better! “Send our message, pitch, special-of-the-week or news out to anyone and everyone!” Continued Continue

Tips on Getting Organized

Fred just got hired as a consultant for a financial services company. This new position is different from the previous job since this will require a lot of traveling. There will be a lot of changes, and getting organized is the best thing to do before doing anything.
The first that needs to be done is to organize the office. Some things are needed more frequently on the desk while others need only to be used once in a while. The person can organize this by frequency.
The table can ha… Continue

MOTIVATION - A Mission Statement

MOTIVATION – A Mission Statement By Nikki Viljoen of N Viljoen Consulting CC The majority of big Corporate Companies all have their own Mission Statement. Usually they are placed strategically for the world to see, at reception, or on a wall that you would look at as you enter the building or the office. Why do you think that is? I’ve always thought that it is to tell all their customers, even the really unhappy ones that are about to blow the place to hell, exactly what it is that they promi… Continue

MOTIVATION - Heros

MOTIVATION – Heros By Nikki Viljoen of N Viljoen Consulting CC It is said that “heroes are the people who do what has to be done, when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.” Well ain’t that the truth! That’s probably why heroes are usually leaders too, I am sure! They get things done and not only do they get them done, but they also take responsibility for the consequences of their actions. For me it is just easier to get the thing done, than it is to sit around, looking at e… Continue

MOTIVATION - Our Own Minds

MOTIVATION – Our Own Minds By Nikki Viljoen of N Viljoen Consulting CC Jameson frank says “Our Greatest battles are those that are fought in our own minds.” Ain’t that the truth and wouldn’t the world be a much better place if that were the only place battles were fought? I know, that for me on a personal level, the time I took out from my clients between the 19th of December 2008 and the 4th January 2009, served not only as a rest period, but also gave me a chance to finish off some of the… Continue

I'm sure you have tried or seriously considered: * Free traffic exchanges… Continue

Last Day of 2008

It is a time to reflect on what we have accomplished in the past year. Was it what you had planned at the start of 2008? Did you reach the goals you set for yourself last January 1st. If so, Congratulations! What caused you to be successful? Ready to make new resolutions to overcome this year? If you did not reach your goals, why not? What sidetracked you? Was it one of the big four of Fear, Focus, Life, or Lack of a Plan? What do you need to do differently in 2009 to make this the Best Year Ev… Continue

Lead By Following?

I hear the phrase all the time saying "Become a Leader and people will follow!". Take a look at Barack Obama, a TRUE leader. Study men like Benjamin Franklin, Bill Gates, Sam Walton, or Ted Turner. How about the women? Hillary Clinton, Rosa Parks, Diane Hochman ( And if you don't know who Diane Hochman is then Google her, I DARE YOU! ) All of these people are GREAT LEADERS because they have had GREAT MENTORS. Look at Larry Brauner, he didn't create his success solely on his own. Each and every… Continue

I love to be the one with the answers.

I’ve been active on Yahoo Answers, Yedda, LinkedIn and other sites that are built around asking and answering questions. Even though I don’t have a whole lot of answers, I enjoy finding them for others. It is strange in a way, because I seem more motivated to find the answer if I am doing it for someone else. I guess it comes from wanting to please others. There is an added benefit in that I research new topics and gain general knowledge for myself in the process. One thing I didn’t expect tho… Continue
