Rod McHenry, the financial vice president of a document imaging company, thought he had great cause for celebrating. He had signed an unbelievable $370,000 lease proposal covering computer servers, workstations, software and other networking equipment.

A lottery wheeling system means you choose a base 'subset' of numbers, for example in a 6 number lottery, you might choose the numbers 1 to 7, and then combine them in ways ensuring that all 7 numbers 'get a go' in the 6 number lines. By playing combinations of a set of numbers, you are doing something similar to the 'permutations' in football pools, says Noah Faulkner at www.bet4less.com Let's look at a typical choose 6 numbers from 49 lottery...more
You are getting a good deal when you accept the fact that the right PR really CAN alter individual perception and lead to the changed behaviors you need. Especially when you recognize that people really DO act upon their perceptions of the facts they hear about your operations, and about you as a manager. Meaning you have little choice but to deal promptly and effectively with those perceptions by reaching and moving those key external audiences of yours to actions you desire. Thus, you are certainly getting a good deal when your business, non-profit or association PR investment creates behavior change among those important outside audiences that leads directly to achieving your managerial objectives. However, you'll be able to accomplish this only after persuading those key outside folks to your way of thinking, then moving them to take actions that allow your department, division or subsidiary to succeed. Obviously, these managers are doing something positive about the behaviors of those important outside audiences of theirs that MOST affect their operations. Underlying such efforts is the fundamental premise of public relations: people act on their own perception of the facts...more

I decided to resurrect this article (with some changes due to events that have happened this year) from my website because of the time of year it is. With New Year's Day being less than a week away, this is the time of year where many of us reflect on the past year, re-examine our dreams, desires and goals and make resolutions for the upcoming year.Some of us are more successful at keeping those resolutions than others. There are those people who say they want to make changes to improve their lives this year that make a few resolutions, but don't do anything about them at all. It's as if they said it only because they felt it was expected of them or they were hoping that things will change by themselves without any effort on their part.Then there are those people who make the resolutions work at it for a month or two and give up when they don't see progress quickly enough or because they really didn't want to make the change to begin with. There are people who decide if they just try a little harder, apply themselves more to their current work they will do better for themselves even though they know they were working hard enough already.I have to admit, I used to be one of...more
