TABLE OF CONTENTS:
Happy Tuesday to you!
First off, a big thanks to everyone who has signed up to attend my "
Ultimate Small Business Bootcamp" scheduled for the weekend of November 10 and 11, 2007 right here in my hometown of Huntsville, Alabama.
I'm being completely honest when I say this may be the LAST live seminar I ever do, so if you're interested in having me help you in your business, this may be your last chance.
Several folks have asked if this event is really right for them. This event is for:
- Anyone thinking about starting a small business
- Anyone thinking about starting a web-based business
- Anyone thinking about starting an eBay business
- Anyone considering a franchise or business opportunity
- Anyone already in business and looking for ways to grow
- Anyone having trouble in business
- Anyone stuck in a dead end job looking for ways to inexpensively start their own business
- Entrepreneurs: young pups and old dogs
- Business managers and executives
- Anyone wanting to learn how to use podcasting to build their business
- Anyone who needs to learn the tax advantages of being in business
I guarantee you this will be the best business seminar you will ever attend. It will be like getting an MBA in one weekend. Plus you get to have lunch and dinner with me and the entire faculty. What a bonus, huh :o)
There are still seats available if you act now.
My column this week concerns one issue facing many small businesses and that is how to hire and manage employees.
Employees can make or break your business, so it's important that you know how to lead employees in the direction you need them to go (notice I didn't say manage them).
We also look at why adding pictures to your eBay auctions is key to succeeding on eBay.
As always, don't forget to check out my audio archives, video archives, articles database, and newsletter archive.
Enjoy!

Managing Employees Is A Little Like Herding Cats
Some business experts will tell you that managing people is an art. Others will tell you that managing people is a skill.
I'm going to tell you that managing people is more like herding cats. Just when you think you have them all going in the same direction one will run off and you have to go catch it. And by the time you get back with the stray cat the rest of the herd has all gone off in different directions.
It's no wonder most entrepreneur's hate cats. They remind us how little control we sometimes have on our employees.
Why Adding Pictures Increases eBay Bid Response
Buyers really like pictures. The more pictures you have, the more they'll feel like buying their item from you instead of your competitor. In fact, there are plenty of buyers who will literally leave your auction within 5 seconds of arriving if they don't find a picture there waiting for them.
A little extra work on photography can pay off massively, especially if you're working on slim profit margins. But why is it so effective?

Learn To Easily Create Multiple Streams Of Online Income
You've heard me preach the "Multiple Streams Of Online Income" sermon
many times before. It's foolish to rely on one stream of income
because you just never know when that one stream might dry up.

now enjoying the good life, and he firmly believes he can show you how
to do the same.
"How I Increased My Adsense Revenue 400% In 24 Hours"
I told you a few weeks ago about the new videos from Michael Cheney,
the young Englishman who went from $2 a day to $19,156 A MONTH in
Adsense revenue in less than a year.
I personally ordered Michael's videos and tested just one of his ideas
on my own Adsense account and here's the honest result:
I had averaged $10 a day on this particular Adsense account for over 3
months. I implemented just one of the ideas from Michael's videos and
within 24 hours my Adsense income jumped to $50 BUCKS!
That's a 400% INCREASE IN 24 HOURS!!
Think I'm happy I bought Michael's videos? Darn right I am :o)
Michael will even let you watch one of the videos free:
