It can be innovative ideas, excellent service, talent, helping peers and so on. Create a difference for yourself and be remembered by your colleagues even after you leave.

How People Will Remember Me at My Work Place?

People come in an organization, work and move away. They are remembered until they are there working in the organization. When they leave their job or work place they far forgotten. I want to ask you how somebody can remember you even after you leave your job.

I want to talk to you about how you can make a unique contribution at work and how to tap into your skills, passion, talent and energy.

Someday, sometime, I have to quit the work place. Then how people around me will remember me in my absence?

The various factors that surely can create a great difference:

• My contribution
• My attitude towards my peers
• My commitment
• My interpersonal communication
• My innovation

I am sure that through any one of these above factors you can definitely make a difference for people to remember you even after you leave the work place.

I remembered an experience of a company named TORRENT POWER during my Management Training Workshop.

I simply asked participants a question; “Can you recall or remember any person of your company who is not presently working here and why?”

And, the immediate answer from the participants was a name of an employee Mr. Dave.

They were excited to talk about him. They said that he was generous to everyone, even to customers who used to come for paying electric bills.

In many instances when a customer came to pay the electric bill and had no amount left in his pocket to travel back home, in such situation he used to help that person by paying him his travel expenses. He advances his help to anybody without any hesitation. When some peer or colleague needs money, he always advances and never expects that it will be returned back to him.

Sometimes it happens so that the customer used to come to pay bill, and to his astonishment finds a penalty for late paying the bills. Further, to his woes, he used to not have any extra amount to pay the penalty in his pocket. Moreover, if he did not honor the bill, the re-connection will not take place and the result, no power at home. In such situations, he used to contribute some amount to customer and it usually happened that they never returned the amount back to him.

However, he never shows regret for it. Most of the participants (current managers) endorse it.

Mr. Dave is remembered for his gracious heart and services to needy customer.

How shall I be remembered at my work place?

Re: How Not To Start A New Business - Well, these guys these guys will not succeed at all. they need to have a way of doing things. First thing first, which market segment are they targeting? Or are they in the same segment the previous magazine was. They also need to understand the trends, currently people read online magazines so they need a website. After that they need to develop the marketing mix, which will guide them in their marketing activities. This marketing mix will be made of 4 Ps, which are Product, Place,Price and Promotion. I will assume the magazine is the product, the first P, The Price is what is the role the price will play in the market, do they want premium price, or do they want to skim the market. The other P, they need to have, is the Place, this will help in having a strategy on where to place their magazines, this includes the websites, malls, newspaper stands etc. The final P they need to develop is the Promotion, this is the advertising , channels, websites, forums, blogs, name it. Once they have done that, they can sit down and wait for money to come but not without superior customer service, otherwise without all this, they are wasting their time and money.
Private Venture Capital Consortiums and Funding Syndicates - From the posts in this forum (all threads) it is very clear that funding is in high demand and many entrepreneurs are unsuccessful in sourcing, not to mention secure, private international venture capital. There are about 6000 international associations linked to venture capital around the globe and they all make their presence noticed on the internet. For most entrepreneurs this will sound very attractive, and it should be, but many unfortunately will stare disappointment in the face at the start of their endevours. The international success rate for venture capital finance / funding in start up projects is an unbelieveable low 2% - 5% maximum. Most venture capitalist linked with associations will require some sort of surity or guarantee of up to 50% of the investment. The entrepreneur will then have to pay fees up front before a cent has been invested, not to mention broker / consultant commissions of up to 12% of the total value of the project. Why is the success rate so low (2% - 5%)? - 1. Business Plan - poor preparation and insufficient information. Every entrepreneur will explain how big a specific market is in potential profits but they all lack the basic important factor every investor wants to see and that is How and What are you going to do to capture 10% of that market sector. Stop telling every investor that you "want" to capture 10%, tell them how you will go about doing so. 2. Management Team - How can anyone expect from an investor to invest in a company with poor management. How about investing $5 million in a one man operation - where is the security for the venture capitalist. Be realistic, put yourself in the position of the investor, argue the facts and then approach an investor if you are able to convince them of your project or business. 3. Project - If your project or business (products or service) is not unique or cheaper venture capitalists will not invest - final. If it is existing technologies, products or services improve them or make them cheaper. Entrepreneurs should always research venture capitalist befire approaching them - it is the difference between success anf failure Always Remember - Plan Your Work, Work Your Plan. ----------------
