Is Your Business Card Worth Holding On To?
A virtual extension of your hand shake and small space for your commercial, your business (or calling card) is an essential marketing tool that tells perspective clients who you are; what you do and how you run your business. So whether you’re emerging or established, you must have a professional looking business card that effectively promotes you, your company and your products or services – as well as makes a strong, lasting and positive impression.
Vertical or horizontal, business cards vary in size, shape, colour and design according to the industry or profession you represent. And with inexpensive printing offers available at most business supply stores, specialty papers, do-it-yourself options and plenty of sites like Vista Print providing online tools and templates, today you can easily design your own business card, have it delivered to you in no time and for virtually no cost.
However tempting this sounds (especially when you are in start-up mode and trying to cut costs), nothing beats having your business card professionally designed and printed by a graphic artist or printer who has some experience creating business cards for others in your field.
If you want to your business card to stand out and be held on to, follow these 3 simple tips:
1. Remember that The Exchange of Business Cards is a Sensory Experience - It’s important to remember that the exchange of business cards is a sensory experience. Anyone who views your card immediately looks at it and feels its texture in their hand and judges whether or not they’re impressed with both before they begin asking questions about your business.
2. Be Aware of What Your Business Card Says About You – Professionally designed and printed business cards spark discussion about your business and declare…“I’m a well-established expert worth hiring.” Where as handmade, cheap or free online business cards (such as those with perforated edges) shout…“I’m a beginner with limited funds. If I’m not willing to invest in myself, why should you?” and do a lot to undermine your pitch, pricing and image.
The following scenario illustrates my point:
Roger hands his business card to Jane. Roger’s business card has been professionally designed and printed. There’s a picture of a ticking time bomb on the front amidst a splash of vibrant colours. When Jane holds Roger’s business card in her hands and sees the powerful graphic design, her reaction is, “What’s the bomb about?” Roger replies, “That’s what can happen to your business in case you don’t have the right funds flow strategies in place.” Jane has just opened the door for Roger to tell her more about his business. Now that’s a business card Jane isn’t likely throw out!
3. Know What Type of Business Card Attracts – In addition to the design structure, layout, style, look and feel of your card, most potential customers tend to be attracted and hold on to business cards that are uncomplicated and legible to read. Business cards that evenly display the card holders’ company name or logo with their head shot (depending on the type of business they’re in) as they appear on the cards’ side or background which also balance their name, title, tag line, address, phone number, fax, Skype, e-mail, URL and social media links (on the front or back side of the card) are preferred.
To your success!

Going the Extra Mile Get you event Farther
In life, victory often goes to those who make a 100% commitment to the outcome. They give it their all and put everything they have into getting their desired result... whether it be an Olympic gold medal, the top sales award, a perfect dinner party, or an A in microbiology.
It's a simple concept, yet you'd be surprised how many people don't stick to their disciplines, follow through with their plans, or go the extra mile.
Are you someone who consistently goes the extra mile and routinely over delivers on your promises?
It's rare these days, but it's the hallmark of high achievers who know that exceeding expectations helps you stand above the crowd. Almost by force of habit, successful people simply do more.
As a result, they experience not only greater financial rewards for their extra efforts but also a personal transformation, becoming more self-confident, more self-reliant, and more influential with those around them.
These high achievers stand out from the crowd because of their extra efforts. They are unwilling to give up, even in the face of difficult times.
They get the promotions, they get the loyal customers, they grow their businesses twice as fast, they get financial rewards, job security, and they go home feeling satisfied.
Do you exceed expectations?
Do you surprise people with more than they were expecting from you?
Do you have the opportunity - but also the personal initiative - to go the extra mile?
To be successful you must change your thinking. You can only win by making extra efforts. People who go the extra mile always get payback. You will discover yourself becoming more self-confident, more self-reliant and more influential with those around you.
People notice the special services and all the small touches that make dealing with you so pleasurable. And when they are talking to their friends they will mention you and recommend you because you are the one who stands out.
People will see that you pay attention to detail, that you consider all the small things that really make a business successful, that you care about your image, and that you belong with all the other people who work hard to achieve. You will attract new business and new opportunities.
Listen to any success story and you will hear of someone who worked exceptionally hard to get what they wanted.
You’ll hear how they put in the extra time, did what wasn’t part of their job description, and over-delivered on what was asked of them. You’ll hear how they stuck at it until they broke through, and usually you’ll hear how it only took them a couple of years to do it.
What have you been doing for the past couple of years? Think of what you could accomplish if you made it a habit to exceed everyone’s expectations. Image what doors could be open to you if you decided to be of better service and value.
How are you willing to go the extra mile? What kind of extra service are you willing to provide in order to stand out from the rest? What areas of your life could you be giving more of your effort and time, becoming more valuable, and improving your reputation?
Be willing to treat everyone like you’d treat your dearest friend. Don’t skimp on service. Don’t be mediocre or run of the mill. Show people what you are capable of. Show them that you care about your image and reputation.
When it comes to success, the people who are willing to go the extra mile get there that much faster!

How to Write a Great Article for the Internet
Have come across great website called www.selfgrowth.com where you can upload articles and much more. Below is a information on how to write a great article for the internet. Enjoy and go out and Get Connected Make it Happen!
Article writing is one of the best ways to get your knowledge out and provide you with great free exposure for your business or your website.
Here are seven simple tips and some examples that will teach you how to write a great article for the Internet:
1) Create a catchy title
Your article's title can be a make or break for readers. A short, attention-grabbing title will pique reader interest and draw them in. Be sure that your title remains relevant to the topic you are writing about.
2) Keep it short
People are reading your article because they want information on the topic at hand. Get right into the meat of the article after a brief introduction. Effective Internet articles tend to be relatively short as people are turned off by seeing too many words on their screens. An ideal article for SelfGrowth.com contains approximately 500-1200 words.
3) Keep it simple and straightforward
Keep in mind your main purpose for writing the article to express your points as clearly as possible. Use language that is easy to understand and conversational in tone. Maintain a clear and organized structure throughout the article, and ALWAYS proofread and edit your article before submitting it.
4) Include a beginning, middle, and end
Every good article has a clear beginning, middle, and end. The beginning should be a short introduction about main focus of your article. The middle, or body, should contain the meat of the article: all of the important facts, ideas, instructions, etc. And an article should always end with a conclusion that wraps up or briefly restates your main points.
5) Write what you know
Be sure to pick a topic that you are knowledgeable about. It is much easier to write about something you are familiar and comfortable with, and your expertise will shine through in your writing. Plus, you will enjoy the writing process!
6) Teach something new or at least teach it in a new way
What point is there in sharing information that has already been brought to the table countless times? Teach your readers something new. Your knowledge is unique: Let your readers see this. If it's a popular topic, try to put a fresh spin on it or explore an area of your topic that is not commonly written about.
7) Include a short bio
Give yourself credit for your work by writing a brief bio. State who you are and what makes you an expert on your topic. You can also use this section to include links back to your website or contact information.
Check out these links to see some examples of quality articles:
