Hello world. This is my bio. I can edit it later! http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/Your_Profit_Coach Sat, 26 Jul 2008 11:33:31 -0600 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.squidoo.com/productlaunchformula-2 A step by step guide to how Jeff Walker is launching the Product Launch Formula. This is a free lesson in how to launch a new product with the videos and emails Jeff Walker has used. I was introduced to Jeff Walker's Product Launch Formula through the master internet marketers like Rich Schefren, Stompernet and Frank Kern. But I don't want to give you the wrong impression. The Product Launch Formula can be used for any product launch so please don't think that this only applies to Internet millionaires. It all starts with this link Product Launch Formula and when you sign up for this first video, you will get access to all the following videos. The Product Launch Formula 2.0 is now closed but my grapevine. The server crashed within minutes of the launch and his staff were swamped by questions so it has taken some time to get through the backlog. I recommend registering your email to hear when Jeff is going to open it up again or release another format of the Product Launch Formula. business Wed, 30 Apr 2008 11:00:03 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/keyperformanceindicators This lens covers the vital topic of how you measure your business performance and then use that information to improve your business profitability. This is Pillar 1 in my Eight Pillars of Business Properity introduced in the How To Increase Business Profitability Squidoo lens. This page includes an element of Finance for non-financial managers training because I want you to understand what the numbers mean. business Wed, 30 Apr 2008 11:46:03 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/businessprofitability Are you an entrepreneur who wants to increase business profitability? Do you dream of being able to treat yourself to life's little luxuries like the Lamborghini in the picture? This lens is designed to help you to build a bigger, better business with increased profitability using the eight pillars of business prosperity. It will help you to become a customer focused entrepreneur or custompreneur committed to succeeding by helping your customers to succeed. business Wed, 30 Apr 2008 10:38:48 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/jayabrahammarketing My aim is to make this the most comprehensive source of information about Jay Abraham. Jay Abraham is my biggest business hero and a major influence on the way I think about business and work with businesses. This lens is my tribute to the work Jay has done over the last 30 years and his incredible ability to find and exploit profitable opportunities. Jay Abraham has rightly been called a marketing legend, a marketing genius and a marketing wizard. business Mon, 21 Apr 2008 04:06:43 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/bad-customerservice The customer focused entrepreneur (or custompreneur as I call them) is focused on helping the customer to get the best possible experience from any contact with the company. That means that the custompreneur must have a focus on and commitment to customer service excellence. Unfortunately there can be a difference between intentions and results. I am sure that no business deliberately sets out with the goal of providing bad customer service but that is what we experience day in, day out. Often this is because business doesn't see the service from the customer's point of view. Many companies are under the illusion that what is easy and convenient for the business and its staff, is also good for the customer. But we know different. We are on the receiving end so this is your chance to educate companies about what bad service really is. So if you have a funny story to tell or you feel like a rant (no bad language) then this is your chance. business Wed, 30 Apr 2008 11:32:10 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/guerrillamarketing1 If you are the owner of a small business and you have big dreams but a small budget, then Guerrilla Marketing is just what you are looking for. That simple phrase convinced me to start investigating just what Guerrilla Marketing had to offer and I was so convinced by what I discovered, I became a Certified Guerrilla Marketing Coach. business Sat, 12 Jul 2008 00:33:59 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/michael-port Do you market professional services and you would like to grow your business and be booked solid?

You could be acting as the constraint to the opportunities for growth of your business because you are suffering from tunnel vision. This is a type of myopia, you can't see ideas that could make a big difference to your business because you are stuck in an industry mindset. business Tue, 22 Apr 2008 03:08:38 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/beautifulmoments This is a feel good lens to show that life is about much more than making money. With Valentines Day rushing up on us I thought that it would be good to have a place to reflect on the beautiful moments in our lives. I would like to make it as interactive as possible so I hope that other people are going to join in and share their beautiful moments. It may be about people, pets, wild animals, beautiful scenery, a great meal or anything else that made you feel good, special and excited to be alive.
