The Home Effect

Make your business ambiance home-like
I’m sure we all have one or two favorite spots we like to haunt where
it seems, like the old slogan for the Cheers TV show, everyone knows
your name. I know I do. I’ve got a little Italian restaurant down the
road from me that I frequent and it seems like not only do they know my
name, they know what I’m going to order before I do.
Other
places I have been eating at for years do not even recognize me from
visit to visit, much less bother to remember my name. I am sure you can
guess which business I frequent more and which is always my fist
choice. It is not even that they have the most competitive prices and
the highest quality ingredients that compel me back repeatedly. The
welcoming, comfortable atmosphere makes me feel at home.

Its All In The Environment

In many organizations, especially larger ones with clearly defined hierarchies, you can observe some workers that literally watch the clock close to the end of the work day, or near the end of their shift. They count down the minutes until they don’t have to be around co-workers that run the gamut from those they get along with only so-so, to those they outright despise.
Joe Smallwood, a five-year seasonal employee of Alaska Wildland Adventures (AWA), a 30-year-old Alaska-based small group nature safari provider, represents perhaps the greatest departure from this persisting image from Corporate America. When we spoke to him, he was in his car with his girlfriend en route from Alaska to California, where he is moving for the off season. He is excited at the notion of visiting fellow co-workers - good friends - from his time at AWA this summer and from past summers.
4 Steps For Managing Your Small Business Technology Costs

A few simple steps can help you make the most of your expenditures throughout the lifecycle of the technology. Servers, desktops, software, networking equipment and peripherals add up, but you do need them to keep your business running. Follow these steps to make cost-effective decisions.
1. Weigh Financing Options
Aside from purchasing, financing and leasing are viable options for a small business. Consider a combination of the three when going through the buying process. Installing and configuring the technology could also be financed and bundled into regular payments. Does the company you’re buying from provide “new and authorized by the manufacturer” sales? After you’ve got the equipment up and running, this could enable your company to get updates or enhancements directly from the manufacturer–and dealing with problems will be much simpler.
