How to deal with Overwhelm
Have you ever noticed how people react when they have had it UP to here and they can’t take it anymore? Has it happened to you?
It’s called “Overwhelm” ~ so what do we do with it, we ask?
a) We change the situation; b) we change “our Perception” of the situation,
c) we Leave the situation or d) We cope with the situation.
Then, we prioritize, we make a list, and slowly begin to discern the “MUST DO’s”
by putting number or symbols indicating the level of urgency. From there, we take ACTION towards the most important item on our list.
During the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and neighboring Gulf cities, we saw first-hand many examples of prioritizing to manage overwhelm.
Did you notice how the Heroes took care of priorities very quickly while the non-heroes just froze w/and eerie inability to act?
Most recently, Hurricane Ike hit the coast of Texas from Galveston into Houston, and right in front of our eyes, we're seeing who are the ones who are really standing up tall as emergency preparedness and nation-wide help shows up to save, assess, help the survivors, and eventually, rebuild and recover.
Helping others is NOT new to our readers nor to the writer, helping in biblical, devastating proportions IS. Who knew we had the internal fortitude to go out of our ways to help no matter what. This is where Pride and Courage kicks-in, and we all need Courage to face and manage our own overwhelm.
The moral of the story is: We show courage whenever we are called upon. We show courage whenever we are needed , we show courage because we are human beings helping other human beings and we care. We show and must have courage….to manage our overwhelm by prioritizing. We must become our own “heroes”.
When it comes to Courage, you must:
1) Own it
2) Honor iT
3) Live by It!
We have but one life: “Live it with courage, live it with Pride”

Re: Seeking advice on working procedure of Convenience Store
- Storeowners often have national and regional contracts with various suppliers. They always buy in bulk and enjoy the principle of getting the better deal as you buy more and more that too in quantity. For E.g. a small storeowner orders 100 cases of coke and fixes the deal at $5 per case but a big storeowner orders 4500 cases and fixes the deal at $3.5 per case. Here the difference lies and because of the big storeowner manages to sell the commodity at a lower price till having his share of profit.
Negotiating the term sheet
- Typically VCs give you a timeline on the term sheet. They won't let you take too long because they don't want you to shop the deal.
You can get an intermediary to work with you. They help finance the deal and introduce you to potential investors. Some will ask for a work fee and others won't. Look for the ones who get paid on success. The typical range would be 5-10% (for equity) of the money raised goes to them depending on how much you're looking for.
Franchise for food products
- If you are looking for a high end food deal, look at Ruth. Franchise fee is 100K. Very high, but this one could make you a lot of money if your market is open. I wonder what "deal" Robert has up his sleeve?
Business Tips
- How about:
Tips for managers to handle employees more effectively?
Tips on how to deal with difficult customers?
Tips on how to deal more effectively with suppliers?
The only three I have in mind right now, but will try to come up with something else.

Re: Cash up front ... or Royalties?
- [quote="TannyL":m0ab6gqi]The best deal will be get a one time payment PLUS royalties, this is how you do business.[/quote:m0ab6gqi]
Well if you're in a position of power/high demand like an A-List actor (e.g. Will Smith or Tom Cruise), you can ask for cash up front and back end money from overall ticket sales.
But if you're just a startup, it'll be a lot tougher to negotiate a better deal.
