Its Turn it Up Tuesday...2 tips, a tip on running your business, and a tip on improving your life.
Choosing a Name for Your Business or Product
“That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” — Juliet

I don’t know about Juliet’s online shopping habits, but if Etsy were named Grshkinmiffle, their business might not be doing so well. When coming up with a name for your business or product, find words that are memorable and have a connection to what you do. Make a list of all your ideas and say them out loud. Listen to how they sound—clever? catchy? meaningful? Find the right tone to match your business.

Remember What’s-His-Name
Do you have trouble remembering the name of someone you’ve just met? Ways to make a name stick include: Repeating it in the conversation (“Nice to meet you, Louie.”). Use name association, such as alliteration or rhymes (“Larry from Los Angeles” or “Dan the man”—but don’t call him that!). Of course, sometimes you’ll just need to ask again.

I sit here this morning after having not fallen asleep easily last night, just thinking about what happened in our city in the wee hours of Saturday morning coming up with no answers but I have reached some conclusions. Over the next few days and months, especially in an election year, we are going to hear many words of hate and the spewing of disgusting thoughts, we are going to be fodder for campaigns or for those trying to prove their ideology is correct. We as a city cannot let that effect us. We cannot hate our brothers no matter where they are from or who they choose to love. The answers to the issues that face our world today is not to ban a group of people from our country because some of their religion or ethnic origin have decided to take a path of hate...if that is the case, then do we not need to gather every white supremacist and send them somewhere. These people are radical, they are fanatics, they are not the whole. We need to be vigilant, we need to do better job of screening, but nothing will ever be 100 percent. If we wish to keep our way of life we must honor the tenets which we are built, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, all men are created equal, innocent until proven guilty, give me your tired, your poor, your tired huddle masses yearning to be free, this is who we are as a nation, these are the freedoms that so many have died to defend in the centuries since the founding of this GREAT country of ours (and no it does not need to be made great again because it has never stopped being great) I believe that we, the people, are the key to this, not whomever becomes president, which party is the majority, we the people need to make sure that these tenets stay true and stop reacting out of fear or deep ingrained prejudice that is not acceptable or our way of life will disappear.
Also, we will begin to hear that those in the club were punished because of who they choose to love..and even worse my God's name will be invoked that He punished these people. I tell you and I am screaming..not my God, not my Lord and Savior...for He is a merciful and loving God...This the work of evil and hate..and that my friends is the devil. The truest thing my father ever said to me is believe this Angela Maria, satan is alive and working today. We are taught to love one another...not to hate, not to judge..we have only been tasked with loving each other.
So Orlando, we cannot control what happens or what is said about what has happened to our city, but we can show the world how to react and how to live through such a tragedy. We began yesterday with the long lines at blood banks, and the start of vigils, let us show them the only fitting response to this is LOVE. Love all who are personally touched, love and embrace our LGBT community and yes love and embrace our muslim brother and sisters...
We have always been the home of the HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH, now we are the home of the worst mass shooting in US history...Let's with arms open wide and hearts soaring...decide to stay the home of the happiest place on earth, because if we do perhaps no other community will get the title we earned on Saturday, yes we get to keep it, but if we do, love conquers hate...Let us vow that as a community...now lets go out and love one another, this one thing all of us can agree on....
Peace be with each of you..and we are ORLANDO STRONG..

Are you making an impact? At my funeral I want people to talk about the difference I made, to know I have not walked the planet in vain. Have I blessed lives, have I made the world a better place? I no longer chase the dollar I chase the opportunity to make a difference. Life gives us who we are.

How are you building your team?

Most businesses succeed or fail on the performance of the entrepreneur. An exceptional new product positioned in the best possible market has no life of its own without a skilled founder.

Tactical Tuesday
We continue with Growing Your Small Business.
Today we look at Cash Flow
Cash flow is the life blood of any company. But many entrepreneurs don’t understand the concept. Most people believe it’s a financial term so they avoid it like the plague!

What is cash flow? About.com defines cash flow as “The movement of money in and out of a business and the resulting availability of cash.” This is a good technical definition, but it does nothing to help someone understand how it works. If you don’t understand how it happens how do you manage it?

Cash flow is an operational concept, the Revenue Engine.

The Revenue Engine is comprised of four major business functions:

Marketing whose responsibility is to generate leads.
Sales which takes those leads and turns them into contracts to exchange money for products or services.
Delivery where the contracts are fulfilled so that…
Collections can bill and collect payment for the product or service.

In a nutshell this is your cash flow cycle! For most business people this is much easier to understand than, “the movement of money in and out of a business.”

Make it Happen Monday Growing Your Small Business
Growing a small business is actually a simple process. There is a defined and predictable formula to small business growth. The problem is most small business owners don’t take the time to learn the formula!

While the formula is simple it is not easy. That’s because there are so many dynamic to a business which distract the business owner from the real variables. The reality is there are only a handful of variables that tell an entrepreneur the health of their business and where he/she should be focused. But again, most small business owners don’t take the time to learn the variables.

Monitor the variables; solve the formula – voila, you grow your business!
Growing a business is the same a taking a trip. You need to know where you want to go and from where you are starting to get a map. So, know at what stage of growth your business is currently is as important as know what stage you are trying to get to. To get from one point to then other requires you go through each stage along the path. This week we will take this trip together
