Qualities of Excellent Leaders: Leading an Organization to Triple Digit Growth
The ability of any organization to experience explosive growth hinges on the quality of leadership in the executive office. Whether you are a budding entrepreneur or established CEO hungry for results, the changes you want to implement will only go so far as your leadership ability allows. Imagine for a second that you want to experience triple digit growth this year, in this horrid economy. Some companies will certainly do it. The question is: will yours be one of them? These are the leadership traits you will need to get it done.
Vision. If your company has been established for any length of time, it will be nearly impossible to double revenue without first thinking that it might be a possibility. In this economy, many business leaders doubt the potential in the marketplace. That is to their detriment. Perhaps you will not be able to experience 100%+ increases with your current marketing systems and practices, but maybe it can be done if you make some changes. Which brings me to my second point.
Flexibility. The old adage that "what got you here is not going to get you where you want to go" holds true. Leaders who bring their organizations to new heights of success are willing to sacrifice old marketing and sales practices and embrace new systems.
Embrace Imperfection. As leaders we hold ourselves to the highest standards, and rightfully so. But the best leaders can remember the days when mistakes were plentiful and successes were few. Those days prepare us to handle future disappointments with grace and dignity. As we become more established and the time comes to implement changes within our companies, mistakes are bound to happen. Recall the lessons from earlier problems and handle it well. The good news is that perfection has never been a requirement for success. As time passes and the new systems become a part of our practices, dormant competencies will arise and more than make up for any problems we had while learning the new techniques.
Learn from Mistakes. While embracing imperfection is important, learning from mistakes is even more critical. We want to build competencies as soon as possible and shore up any weak spots in our processes.
Take Massive Action. There is a unique opportunity for growth right now. So many of our competitors are sitting on their hands wondering what the government will do, predicting when the economy will recover, watching the news, and generally worrying about life and business. It is human nature to do those things. But it has created an opportunity for those of us who want to see sales rise to aggressively pursue growth while the competition focuses on other things.
Doubling revenue is possible, even now. Implement these attributes into your business and give your company a chance to do what most would deem impossible.

Protect yourself from Hackers
- I received this from a newsletter from FXpro that I subscribed to. Please read and apply
In the 21st Century internet is widely used for everyday job. Despite the "ease" and free time offered from internet use, one should be aware of the dangers and be prepared to avoid and safeguard him/herself from any attacks his/her computer may accept or even from the "unwanted" e-mails received.
Golden Rules of Protection
When using the internet make sure you have an antivirus program installed in order to avoid intrusions in your Computer,
If you are using wireless internet connection make sure you have your connection locked,
Do not save any official documents on your Computer, such as Copy of Passport, ID, Bank account numbers, copy of cards in case your Computer is hacked or even stolen,
Keep all access codes/passwords in a safe place,
Do not share an e-mail address with any person,
Do not reveal any access codes, passwords to any person,
If you are using a public Computer, ie in an internet cafe, make sure you log out any internet sites you have visited before leaving and deleting the cookies in order to minimize the risk of someone following your tracks,
Regularly change your passwords on your e-mail accounts, or any other account that requires passwords,
Be careful of e-mails received. Always check the e-mail address and in case you believe that this does not come from a person, Company, Organization you might be dealing with always send an e-mail to an e-mail address stated on the person's business card, Company's, Organization website requesting them to confirm that the e-mail address on the e-mail received belongs to them, before you reveal any information,
Always have in mind that an established Company/Organization never uses an e-mail address such as g-mail, yahoo, hotmail etc thus always be careful when you are receiving such e-mails, even if it appears to be from a Company/Organization you are dealing with,
Always remember that a Company or Organization will never require you to send them your login/password/access codes,
When using a website that requires an access code, do not allow the browser to remember your passwords
Coming up with a business name
- I've always been curious about how people select their business names and would love to hear how you came up with yours.
When I first started my company I was selecting between Evan Carmichael & Associates or the Carmichael Organization. The reason was I had read two books by Anthony Robbins and Donald Trump and learned about how they came up with their companies names to make them look bigger than they were when they were first getting started. Robbins chose Anthony Robbins & Associates while Trump chose the Trump Organization.
I settled on Evan Carmichael & Associates and later changed it to Evan Carmichael Communications Group when I incorporated on the advice of my lawyer.
I agree that it is not the most innovative name out there but my business is about building a brand.
I would love to hear how you came up with your company name!
Marketing and PR ideas related to a Credit Organization

Thanx in advance
Re: How to Promote a MLM Business?
- I have to agree with several of the previous posts here. Having your own site so that you can get it ranked is a big one.
Also, as stated above, using a "passive" recruiting style works really well. Leading by example, people will naturally want to follow you over time if you prove yourself a leader.
Bottom line, if you are promoting your opportunity or products, you are losing sales. About 85% of the population hates to be sold. Promote YOU, build relationships and let the business fall in place after that.
