i agree with you. business coaching is a best solution for a successful business because a business coach knows very well that what are the business weak points and how to remove them and how can you get success in your business.

You bring up some great examples!

I could also add Thomas Edison, who failed thousands of times to create the first successful light bulb.

Building off of your comment about how failure can be creative: I've learned that it's in the most desperate (failed) times that creativity is at its best. When businesses are crumbling because the economy is crumbling is when those in charge of that business have the opportunity to think of something new and innovative that will help their business survive. It is also, "the opportunity to begin again more intelligently" (Henry Ford).

Others I know have failed: Michael Jordan didn't make his high school basketball team, before becoming one of the most well known and respected players of the NBA; Seabiscuit lost 16 of his first 17 races, before becoming a legendary racehorse with a total of 33 wins by the end of his racing career; Colbie Caillat, Grammy award winning singer, was rejected twice from the talent search for singers, American Idol. As you pointed out, it really can, and does, happen to everyone - even those who have earned high esteem and success.
Thank you for the great article!

Leadership? I know many people who have this sense. They are all great, driving people to what they want them to do. There are leaders who might need strong voice of authority before those under him will do as he wish. The best leaders I know is the one who doesn't need to shout, but have the spirit to be followed.

David,

I struggling to understand how the chauvinistic and misogynist attacks help promote your argument. Obviously Shelly's post has created a passionate response in you.

I thank you for reading the blog, this post, and for commenting. Your position would be better served by finding another means to voice your argument, namely evidence over ad hominem and misogynist attacks.

Re: The Power Of Women In Social Media

Two things I want to point out about the mistakes Shelly Kramer has made in her post. First lets examine how she apparently doesn't bother to proof read her material for if she does than I seriously question her level of inteligence. Right off in the very first sentence she contradicts herself. Here's the quote, "Marketing and PR have long been fields dominated by women and, as we move into the world of new media, especially all things related to social mediums, it’s no surprise that this is an area where women are amazingly adept. I’ll be the first to admit that, right now, men seem to dominate the field. You can’t toss a stick without hitting guys like Chris Brogan, Brian Solis, Jay Baer, Gary Vaynerchuck and other heavy hitters in the world of new media. My advice to those talented gentlemen: enjoy it while you can, because it won’t be long until you’re overtaken by the Estrogen Team".

Notice how she starts out by saying, Marketing and PR have long been fields dominated by women" But then in the very next sentence she states," I’ll be the first to admit that, right now, men seem to dominate the field" So which is it Shelly? First you say women have dominated the field then you say men seem to be dominating the field .Why is this important? How seriously are readers going to take the writings of an author who contradicts herself?

Then she reveals her female superiority complex when she warns those talented gentlemen that "team estrogen are going to over take them". Then perhaps realizing that this might not go down too well because she comes off as a braggart she says its a joke but atleast we male readers don't think she is sincere.And here's another mistake she makes as do most females feminest with female superiority complexes and that is of dispite claiming as women do that they have the exclusive claim on empathy that she fails to empathize with her male readers. She should be asking herself how are men likely to respond to what I am writing?

If women overtake these gentlemen she is refering to; what does it mean for these men? Does it mean that they will loose their careers! Are men suspose to be delighted over the prospects of loosing their jobs? So men are apt to stiffen their resolve to do everything they can to fight women seeking to take their careers away from them because their very careers are on the line.

Now how serious is this? Ladies understand that it is impropper to say Women won the right to vote? Why? Because it implies you won it all by yourselves. Truth is a lot of men worked to secure for you your right to vote. Recently a lot of obstacles to women's uppward mobility have come crashing down. Did women accomplish this all by themselves? Once again the answer is no they had considerable help from men. What's the point? The point is ladies you need to understand you need to enlist males as allies not turn men into enemies.When you larvish as does Shelly a ton of grerat virtues upon women while hardly saying anything positive about your brothers than you are likely turnning your brothers into enemies because nobody likes being made to feel inferior.

Shelly will no doubt defend herself from these critisisms by saying this post was written to women not men.
Do you not know that anything that goes out over the web is going to be read by unintended eyes.Haven't enough celeberties gotten into trouble apparently not realizing that unintended eyes are apt to be reading their material" Ladies whatever you write understand that when you build yourselves up you are tearing down men. If you had a small girl and boy would you larvish your boy child with tons of praises in front of your daughter while not saying anything praiseworthy about her? Would it surprise you to see her contenence fallen? And if you swhatter her self-estem do you think anything good will come from it?.

Now you could say aren't I doing the same thing I am acuseing Shelly of? Aren't I only spewing out negatives about Shelly while saying nothin good. this is a good example of what I am trying to say.Shelly is getting back what she gave out. As the good book says, Whatsoever you sow that shall you also reape.

One thing that keeps coming up when women write about how superior they are to men is that women claim they have the ability to empathize. If so do they ever stop to consider as they heap one great virtue after another on themselves of how men are likely to respond.? women claim they are better at conflict resolution than men but as I read these feminest blogs I feel the tiger in me rising to fight them. Ladies let me give you a little advice if your so superior as you claim why have the inferior males subjucated or dominated you? If the hand that rocks the cradle is a femine hand than how poorly must you have been doing that the boy's who characeters you have shaped have grown up with a desire to dominate you? If you want to calim that behind every successful man there is a woman who allegedly made him successful are you also willing to take the blame for every man who has failed? And since there are many more failures than successes women as a whole have been doing a very poor job at influencing men. Now see what you have done? Notice the anger coming from me. If indeed your so good at empathizing you should have written your blog in such a manner as to have encouraged my susport but instead you have made of me an enemy. Hey even a man can do that..

Re: Is Your Business Team Surviving The Cut?

SuccessfulEntrepreneur — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 06:35:31 -0000

Organisations have embraced teams and teamwork as an effective way of doing business. The last 20 years has seen the replacement of 'supervisors' by 'team leaders'. Companies have embraced these concepts because they work. Employee motivation and morale improves dramatically when people feel valued and when their contributions make a difference.

The best leaders take responsibility for making things happen. We all know just how easy it is to blame external factors and we probably all have done this at some time.

Jill, thanks for the post. I keep a journal. It's called my "Idea" book.

Re: 5 Unusual Customer Loyalty Traits

Jill Hogue — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 06:15:08 -0000

The ability to dream big and then the common sense to put into place the things necessary to achieve your dream are two traits that I think are necessary for success. It’s also a great idea to keep a journal of your ideas. Reading the journal on those difficult and occasional down days may help to keep you focused and motivated.
