Identifying the Lies - Aug 05,2011 | Originally from South Africa, Michael Friedlander is an international business attorney who has lived in Los Angeles for over thirty years. He is also a former CEO of an international music company and CEO of an international architectural design company. Michael has recently written Detecting the Scam: Nelson Mandelas Gift. In the book, he has used Nelson Mandelas inspirational "Gift" to help us detect scams, become better negotiators and people, and refine our common sense. The book explores recent high-profile scams through the lens of Nelson Mandelas negotiating skills and moral authority. It explores the connection between leadership and moral authority, and the failure of our finest and brightest to put integrity ahead of self-interest. It also lays out the principles of The Duck School, the school of common sense. In Michael’s words, “In harsh economic and political times—and because we want to believe so badly and are so desperate—we are tempted to embrace the lies upon which scams are based. Therefore, it is important that we do what we can to retain a sense of balance and identify the lies.” Michael states that we also face three crises today: (a) the crisis of pervasive cheating; (b) the crisis of corruption; and (c) the crisis of those who look the other way as those around them cheat and act corruptly.

Spreading Compassion Through Invention - Jul 29,2011 | A recent breast cancer survivor, Brenda Jones hated having to wear hideous hospital gowns and decided to make her own. Feeling that she needed to wear something LOUDER than cancer, she wanted something warm, comfortable, fun, and colorful. A friend taught her to sew and together they made the first Hug Wrap, and when she wore it, she turned heads in the hospital! Brenda started making Hug Wraps for other patients and to date has made over 400 wraps, mailing them all over the US, Canada, England, and Poland. These kimono-style wraps come in various sizes and lengths and are available for men, women, teens, and children. Brenda’s ultimate goal is to make Hug Wraps available to patients everywhere. They are hand sewn with love and understanding from one patient to another and give patients back their dignity during difficult treatments. Brenda donates leftover fabric and materials for sewing class students at local hgh schools to make pillows, blankets, and Cuddle Bear Hugs which are donated to hospitalized children and residents of nursing homes. Hug Wraps have gone “green,” promoting volunteerism and teaching students the joy of giving back to their community. Brenda joins us to discuss the process that led her to inventing the Hug Wrap and where that vision has brought her to today. Brenda’s story is an inspiration for anyone with a dream for creating a new product!

The 10 Essential Rock Star Skills - Feb 25,2011 | Trish Bishop started her working career at the age of 13, and literally fell into her corporate career with one of the first Internet Service Providers in Canada. She then moved on to design, develop and implement global enterprise learning solutions for Fortune 500 organizations—all with no University education or formal Project Management training. She became passionate about understanding why some people were so good at what they did regardless of their level of education. Years of observation have led to the development of what she calls “The 10 Essential Rock Star Skills”. “There are those among us, many of whom are Solopreneurs, who have the ability to see opportunities and potentials long before others do, we dominate our arena and our mantra is “get it done”. However, we are also referred to as rebels, non-conformists and even trouble-makers, which often leads to our being ostracized and lonely. For many of us, it is why we are no longer in the corporate arena, as we prefer the autonomy of the life of the Solopreneur.” Trish calls these people the Rock Stars and throughout her corporate career she has identified the skills, exclusive of education, that differentiated the Rock Stars from everyone else. She wants to share this message for several reasons: 1. The Rock Stars often have no idea who and what they are, and by sharing this information, not only can they further hone these core skills, but there is a sense of understanding and belonging that is invaluable to their self-esteem. 2. The more Rock Stars know about who and what they are, the more they will value what they have to offer--especially as a Solopreneur. 3. Trish feels that more organizations need to be educated and learn how to effectively harness these unique talents. The good news for Solopreneurs: these skills can be learned!

Giving Back - Jan 21,2011 | WebsitesGiveBack is a mother/daughter Web design business which markets niche web design for the truly small business owner. Founders Linda Saker and Elena Patrice help small businesses by providing complete Web site packages with no monthly fees or contract for a flat rate of $499. WGB also supports charitable causes by donating $100 of the cost of each of Web site, on behalf of their customers, to a charity of their customer’s choice. Donations are not bundled and WGB receives no credit—the business owner receives the full tax benefit. WGB has an ambitious goal—to raise $60,000 in 2011—for the causes its clients select to help. WGB considers a partnership with other small businesses and charities as an awesome opportunity, in some significant way, to help reignite the American dream and assist those in need; defining good business and goodwill. When their prior business, abruptly as the economy, took a turn, they were unemployed and needed to make their own “recovery plan”. Giving back was the cornerstone of WebsitesGiveBack being created. Thinking outside the box is what it takes in such an economy for both small businesses, and to be able to help those in need who are experiencing a tremendous decline in donor support. Elena spent the first few years of her life as a children’s book writer (Nana Star series) and publisher and was co-founder and co-owner of ee Media. Her wide-ranging business background in the creative sector has determined the goals at WebsitesGiveBack: to deliver a quality product; to build solid business relationships; and to provide an excellent experience for the customer.

She was the first female owner of a recreational vehicle dealership in the country and came up against the male-dominated industry’s way of doing business early on.

In trying to help those less fortunate, Stetler was stabbed 21 times by a homeless man. How Stetler, a single mother, survived, got back up and rebuilt her business and her life physically, emotionally and financially is all told in her book Unstoppable. Unstoppable is the inspirational true story of one woman's courageous fight to rebuild her life and her $18 million a year business after she exposed an industry-wide lending scam and faced retaliation from the financial institutions she depended upon. Today Stetler is an accomplished entrepreneur, designer, equestrian, author, mentor, life/business coach and still owns RV Sales of Broward today.

Making Smart Technology Decisions - Jul 16,2010 | Michael Sutter started his own business to help people. Michael loves being an entrepreneur because of the flexibility it offers. He runs his own business based upon his principles; and pursues customers who share the same business ethos. Over the past 15 years, Michael has enjoyed saving fellow entrepreneurs time and money by directing them to smart technology decisions and investments. Michael created his first company: Retech Computer Equipment, in 1996 to help individuals who couldn’t afford (or sometimes didn't "need") the latest/greatest technology. Experience taught him that no matter how much power had been built into a computer system, effective usage often equated to unusual software applications, automatic backups, service and repairs. Michael says, “The ever changing puzzle of equipment fascinates me, and ensures that the IT industry will continue growing. I enjoy helping people embrace—rather than shy away from—technology as a way to help their business and personal lives.” Michael evolved that business into Retech Asset Recovery Solutions. He scaled his efforts to help larger businesses effectively manage their IT assets. Retech Asset Recovery Solutions worked with US Bank, Siemens, Kroger’s, Children’s Hospital and other companies to streamline their ongoing processes of technology turnover. In 2009, adapting to the changing computer market, Michael Sutter created Budget Business Computers. With so much pre-owned equipment available, he focuses on the needs of schools, non-profit corporations and small businesses whose budgets are frequently limited. Michel says, “I love what I am doing and plan to remain in the IT industry, wherever it takes me - and I take it!” Michael will discuss how companies can save money on pre-owned and off lease IT equipment, and will also give tips on how to purchase surplus IT assets and turn them into cash.

Get Inspired Project - Nov 06,2009 | The Get Inspired! Project is the brainchild of Toni Reece, President of The PEOPLE Academy, Inc. One year, 365 interviews with people in all stages of life in all parts of the world. Four powerful questions that will allow the reader to hear different approaches taken to inspire others as well as the different needs others have to be inspired. Who do you inspire and how? What do you do to help explore potential in others? What do you need to be inspired? What do you need to explore your own potential? Toni has been a personal and business development Coach for 20 years and has coached people all over the world. During her journey, she has met many people who were seeking answers to the same questions. Toni knew she wanted to collect all of the amazing stories of how people inspire others and what they need to be inspired themselves; however, she wasn’t sure how to get the stories out to those who can benefit from hearing them. Inspiration struck when she attended a local showing of the movie “Julie and Julia” the true story of a woman who writes a daily blog about her goal of creating all of the recipes in Julia Child’s cookbook “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” in one year’s time. When she saw the movie, she realized that the interviews could also be seen in a blog format. Why not showcase 365 people – one interview a day for one year! Keep in mind, Julie wasn’t a cook, and Toni isn’t a reporter – which makes this project all the more exciting and challenging! Toni was absolutely amazed at the response to her call for interviews. People from all over the world have volunteered to take part in this project. The Get Inspired! Project will showcase not only what people need to be inspired but what approaches they are taking to inspire others. http://www.getinspiredproject.com/ | 11/6/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Copywriting for Social Marketing - May 01,2009 | So you thought Twitter was too cute for words? Maybe you also thought Facebook is for college students and Amazon is for serious literary types. The truth is, these communities offer a gold mine to entrepreneurs, independent professionals and owners of small service businesses. Internet-based businesses report picking up 60%, 70%, even 100% of their revenue from these communities. These venues are effective because business owners can pinpoint their target clients. The words you use in your post, your bio and even your friend requests will send a strong message. You have a great opportunity to let people get to know you. Think about attending a networking lunch, where you get a minute or two to introduce yourself. Twitter and Facebook are more like hanging around afterward to drink coffee and talk – with a few thousand targeted audience members, and you don’t even have to leave home. To succeed in this environment, you need a unique set of copywriting skills. This interview will show listeners how traditional copywriting skills can be modified so business owners and independent professionals can promote themselves effectively without sounding the least bit sales-y.
