<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">First I would like to
say we had the strongest January since 1997 years, up 4.4%. Since 1950 the
stock market has had a down year only 3 times after being up in January, which
is an 89% track record! When you couple that with an election coming in
November, mass stimulus from the Fed and nearly every economic indicator
improving I’d say we look to continue the march higher.</span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09487104183594382374noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388894741897279881.post-47438515095475528662012-01-30T08:17:00.000-08:002012-01-30T08:17:41.263-08:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Watching
this market close in on upside targets is like watching a movie I have seen
before. Some readers want
to know where to find dividend income now that the Fed has committed to low
rates until 2014. Money market funds will not keep up with inflation. Bond
funds look like they may begin a new bear trend sometime in 2012. Stock funds
are too volatile to be considered cash or fixed income investments even though
our core portfolio equity positions yield north of 10%. I think that means you
need to consider stock market certificates or structured products (see our conservative
portfolio in this newsletter). Try building a “cash ladder” of varying
maturities to squeeze out the possibility of higher yields with maximum safety.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

sliding yesterday but nowhere near the type of selloff to be worried about.
More like a spring shower than a thunderstorm. Probably a little end of year
tax loss selling mixed with a little rally in the dollar caused by a drop in
the euro. </span><br /></div>

Today's generation of young entrepreneurs and professionals view signing-up on social networking sites in a similar way their parents before them joined clubs or associations related to their professions or trade.<br /></span></p><p><br /> </p><p><span style=";font-family:Palatino Linotype;font-size:10pt;" >It makes a big difference for a professional to take time to properly maintain his business contacts. He is more likely to get more business opportunities, more ideas and more offers when he dares to step out of his comfort zone than someone who only relies in his old circle of friends. It's called probability, the law of averages, and it is based on numbers.<br /></span></p><p><br /> </p><p><span style=";font-family:Palatino Linotype;font-size:10pt;" >LinkedIn is probably the most widely recognized social networking site for professionals- a site where you can connect with old friends and make new acquaintances based on common trade, business or industry affinity. If you want to start on a familiar site where your membership has already been established, Facebook (who doesn't own an account these days?) lets you create a business page. Twitter is also quite useful if you want to get the latest score from groups of interest that you follow. Twitter is also a good way of gauging your online reach- if you can see a steadily growing number of followers, then that's a clear indication that people are interested in what you have to say.<br /></span></p><p><br /> </p><p><span style=";font-family:Palatino Linotype;font-size:10pt;" >Networking allows you to literally get in touch with thousands of like-minded business people. Perhaps one of those encounters holds the key to a promotion, product idea, or business process that you have been developing for some time. Social networking sites allow you to lay the base for a professional relationship which could prove valuable later in your career. At the very least, exchanging ideas regarding common interests through emails, retweets, status messages, blogs and forums would make it much easier to meet in person. This is where the real work of establishing a good professional relationship can start- building trust. </span></p></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09487104183594382374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8388894741897279881.post-82039609221425300762009-11-08T08:01:00.001-08:002009-11-08T08:01:14.658-08:00What is your biggest challenge in growing your business with social media?

style=""> </span>The authors define a brand as a relationship; people's perception of that relationship becomes your brand.<span style=""> </span>So it's not a question of whether or not you have a brand, if you have relationships you have one. This book focuses primarily on someone's personal brand and their relationship with their friends and family and associates.<span style=""> </span>However, the principles translate smoothly for business branding as well.<span style=""> </span>Branding is the art of identifying the perceptions you would like people to have of your relationship and then go about creating them.<span style=""> </span>The first section of the book helps you create the DNA of your brand by focusing on important things like your vision, your values, and your purpose. Next, you begin creating the perception you would like people to have of your brand.<span style=""> </span>Once you've defined your brand<span style=""> </span><span style=""> </span>you have to start going about creating that brand experience for your client’s or the other<span style=""> </span><span style=""> </span>people in the relationship. The authors help you to put together your brand manifesto to identify what you'll need to do in order to create your brand.<span style=""> </span>Your brand manifesto defines the style, standards, and the relationships that will be important for your brand.<span style=""> </span>The book comes with plenty of written exercises to guide you through the process of creating your brand manifesto step by step.<span style=""> </span>Finally, once you've created a brand you have to manage it in order to build brand equity.<span style=""> </span>The authors discuss a technique called the brand promise for sharing your brand with your employees and a brand platform for sharing your brand with others.<span style=""> </span>Last but not least, you need an ongoing process to manage your brand to make sure your promises are being kept.<span style=""> </span>This builds trust with clients, over time and will translate into brand equity down the road.<span style=""> </span>One of the things they authors share their most important about branding is consistency.<span style=""> </span>If you go to a Gap store in New York you should have the same experience if you were to go to a Gap store in Los Angeles. All of your important relationships should have a consistent brand experience with you and your organization as well.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I have used this book is my branding bible for many years.<span style=""> </span>I've used it not only for my own life and business but shared it with many of my coaching clients as well.<span style=""> </span>Every person I shared this book with <span style=""> </span>has found the process of branding very rewarding.<span style=""> </span>I strongly recommend that you pick it up and complete the exercises to experience the full benefits of the power of branding.<span style=""> </span>One of the authors, David McNally, has just developed a new program called the Influential Leader.<span style=""> </span>For more information on this program or other great programs from David, you can e-mail him at <a href="mailto:info@davidmcnally.com">info@davidmcnally.com</a></p> <span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:";font-size:100%;" ><a href="mailto:info@davidmcnally.com"></a></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09487104183594382374noreply@blogger.com0
