			<p><i>Whether you are a team of one or hundreds of thousands, your team has a certain shape all its own. Do you have control over how it grows? The answer is yes. However, the key to a successful team lies not in the control, but in the willingness to let the team take on its own shape without your strict direction.</i></p>
			<p>Copyright (c) 2007 Karen Kay</p>

<p>Every team has its own shape, no matter how larger or small.&nbsp; Where do you fit in the team mold as the leader?&nbsp; Does it grow with or without your help? It can, if you don&#8217;t try to hard to control the shape of the team.&nbsp; Leading without control is the key to your success as a team builder.</p>

<p>Think of each member as contributing him or herself as a bit of raw clay. As our team starts to meld into a unit, we may tend to try to force members to follow our own ideas as to how the group should proceed. The very terms &#8220;upline&#8221;, &#8220;downline&#8221;, &#8220;sidelines&#8221; etc. can damage our self-determination as leaders to our team.</p>

<p>If everyone on my team becomes a leader, then I am at the absolute pinnacle of my game. How can I do that if I try to dictate everything they do? I have found that effective leadership is more in listening, and less in telling.</p>

<p>While one member may be making solid contributions to the shape of the team, another may simply slip through making barely a nick in the surface i.e. the whole concept flows through them with no real substance. Yet another may be that diamond in the rough. The thing is, in order for clay to mold into an attractive vessel, each of these characteristics need to be present. This keeps your team from becoming dry, or too stale, or without shape at all.</p>

<p>Letting yourself be open to your team is what helps the team form its vessel. This is a delicate balance between hard and soft. Raw clay is sensitive, bendable, yet strong enough to hold together.</p>

<p>Some &#8220;hardness&#8221;, is necessary. Confidence and a thick skin can keep a leader strong. Not allowing the team to form itself however can leave it cracked and brittle.</p>

<p>There is no right and wrong when helping your team to find its shape. This progression is continual. As your team vessel grows, it makes changes that may surprise you in new, even simplistic ways, because you allow members to contribute the best of themselves.</p>

<p>Ask your members to emulate, not imitate, what you and other leaders within the group do&hellip;. To invigorate them with your own way of bringing out their best. Be the best &#8220;you&#8221; you can be, and allow them to find the strength in their own being to get to the best contribution for the good of the team, ultimately, the betterment of themselves.</p>

			<title>Bone Up On Digital Print For Exhibitions</title>

			<description><![CDATA[
			<p>By Matthew Theobald</p>
			<p><i>This guide has been designed to help you understand the demands of the ever expanding digital print market. In this, and following articles, you will find an explanation of the technologies and applications and an overview of the products available.</i></p>
			<p>This article attempts to give the buyer of large format digital print an overview of the technologies involved and their suitability for different applications</p>

<p>History</p>

<p>Before the advent of large format digital printers exhibition graphics were produced using a combination of computer-cut vinyl lettering, traditional large-format photographic prints and  specialist &lsquo;Kentint&rsquo; photographic prints with or without overmounted photos. Large graphic panels which had multiple colours were difficult & costly to make.</p>

<p>Canon claimed to have produced the first inkjet printer in the 1980&#8217;s using the term &#8220;bubbleJet&#8221; to describe the way the ink was transferred to the substrate.</p>

<p>Digital colour production printing has advanced considerably since the appearance&rsquo; at IPEX in 1993, of the first Indigo and Xeikon digital presses.</p>

<p>Digital Printing in monochrome can be tracked back to a few years earlier when Xerox introduced their first Docutech.</p>

<p>Today digital printing is developing quickly with better speed at higher resolution. A study in the US by Tradewatch Research Consultancy predicts that in 5 years that the number of comercial printers with digital presses will increase by 234%</p>

<p>So What is Digital Printing?</p>

<p>The technical definition of digital printing simply refers to the transfer of electronic computer files directly to the paper (no need to create plates)</p>

<p>But digital print is not only based on its technology, digital is the result of a market need for data on-demand, fast turnarounds, variable data and short print runs which cannot be easily achieved using conventional offset printing or screen printing.</p>

<p>Digital Processes</p>

<p>There are several different types of digital print solutions and these will be explained in more detail in following articles, but all have some common traits.</p>

<p>The basic characteristic of digital printing is that is cuts out a number of steps involved in the non digital process. This gives the possibility of producing much smaller batches of printed matter quickly and cost efficiently.</p>

<p>How Does Inkjet Work?</p>

<p>Of the variety of inkjet technoloies developed, the one that has been most widely adopted is &#8216;drop on demand&#8217; or DOD. Minute drops of ink are forced through the equally minute holes in the printhead, as they are required, to form the image on the paper or substrate.</p>

<p>The way in which the tiny ink droplets are formed and delivered onto the substrate fall into 2 different categories; Aqueous/thermal and Piezo. If you are buying medias for use in the digital print process it is important to take into account the following 2 factors; print head type and ink type as different products are recommended for each. The two main ink types are Water-based inks and solvent-based inks and within the solvent groups there is a further distinction between mild solvents (also known as eco solvents) and full (or aggressive) solvents.</p>

<p>Part Two will delve more deeply into the different print head technologies</p>

<p>and their associated inks. Guide to Digital Printing for Exhibition Stands and Digital Displays pt1</p>

			<p><i>Matthew Theobald has been working in the exhibition and display industry for over 20 years. Having been involved in the design and build of exhibition stands throughout Europe and having specialised for a number of years in large-format digital print he has a wealth of experience in this arena.

			<title>How Failing To Leverage A Niche Can Stop Your Job Hunt Cold</title>

			<p><i>You already know that that job hunt is tough... but many professionals are still winning interviews and landing jobs, even without an intense Internet job search effort. How are they doing it? By discovering a niche and marketing themselves for it.</i></p>
			<p>You already know that that job hunt is tough&#8230; but many professionals are still winning interviews and landing jobs, even without an intense Internet job search effort. How are they doing it?</p>

<p>By discovering a niche and marketing themselves for it.</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s an example: Bob, an asset management executive with a long history in equipment leasing and capital financing, knew that he was facing an economy in which many companies have cut positions similar to his.</p>

<p>Knowing that saving money is of paramount importance to most firms intent on survival, he thought carefully about how to combine one of his passions with what he does best in his career.</p>

<p>He analyzed which industries might rely on keeping up appearances, and settled on an area of interest for him&#8212;golf. Then, he tapped into his network, and researched area employers to find golf operations corporations.</p>

<p>He tuned his cover letter to provide details on the cost savings he had achieved throughout his career, and mentioned that he believed the potential employer could benefit from continually obtaining new equipment, while still paying the same prices as before.</p>

<p>The result? He was able to secure interest from these firms, as well as job interviews, by contacting them to educate them on how his services could help them maintain their identical level of business revenue, plus SAVE money at the same time.</p>

<p>The lesson here is that it&#8217;s important to examine your existing skills to see how they might apply elsewhere.</p>

<p>In doing so, it&#8217;s important to focus on your competencies, rather than your job title (as other job hunters do), and to build new networks along the way.</p>

<p>Here are 3 key steps to making this leap for yourself:</p>

<p>1 - Take the time to investigate.</p>

<p>In the blog Tough Economy Jobs, writer Danny Iny refers to the book Long Tail by Chris Anderson, and explains this type of self-marketing as &#8220;finding a niche where your uniqueness is needed or appreciated.&#8221;</p>

<p>He goes on to note that, when you find out where you can add value, you become the only &#8220;appropriate candidate&#8221; for a job, and save yourself the time and stress of fighting to be heard above the crowd.</p>

<p>Like Bob, tapping into an area of leisure-time interest or a hobby can intrigue employers even more, since you&#8217;ll come armed with a wealth of knowledge on the subject&#8212;even if it&#8217;s unrelated to your traditional &#8220;job.&#8221;</p>

<p>2 - Decide where and how to market yourself.</p>

<p>As employers weed through candidates, your chances of finding a job in your newly discovered area of expertise are slim if you keep responding to Internet ads.</p>

<p>However, if you shift your thinking from mass job-search mode to filling that specific need you&#8217;ve identified, you&#8217;ll find that you have fewer employers to target&#8212;although with more research to complete first.</p>

<p>To find companies that fit the bill, turn to either corporate databases such as Hoover&#8217;s or Dun & Bradstreet first (some outplacement companies offer access to these services).</p>

<p>In addition, you can hit your local library to tap into references on industry segments and major employers.</p>

<p>Don&#8217;t forget that sites such as LinkedIn provide a wealth of information on employers, in addition to individuals. Familiarize yourself with Internet search techniques to find companies that fit your newly defined parameters and industry preferences.</p>

<p>3 - Tune your resume and cover letter accordingly.</p>

<p>While you may already have a resume that supplies information on your qualifications, it&#8217;s best to take this one step further and create a new version focused on your niche.</p>

<p>Busy hiring managers won&#8217;t make the connection between your skills and the fit for them unless you lay it out on paper.</p>

<p>Be sure to include keywords that reflect the industry you are pursuing, as well as a list of competencies that qualify you for the new role you seek.</p>

<p>In your cover letter, you can bring hiring managers up to speed on the value-add you bring to their business through this extensive pool of knowledge, and why you&#8217;ll be able to make both a short- and long-term difference to them.</p>

<p>Many employers have been forced to run leaner organizations in this economy. Don&#8217;t forget to delineate the ways in which you can add bottom-line results in the form of profit or cost savings! This will give you an added edge.</p>

<p>In summary, your job hunt will be that much more successful&#8212;and less of an effort&#8212;if you can not only  articulate the value that you bring to an employer but CONVEY this information to them in a way that compels them to call you.</p>

			<title>Secrets To Increasing Height With Facts About Height Supplements And Nutrition!</title>

			<description><![CDATA[
			<p>By Philip Sumpter</p>
			<p><i>Making yourself aware of natural height supplements and nutrition will enhance growing taller. Whether you are still in the growing stage or the growth plates completely stop, there are natural ways that can help increase height.</i></p>
			<p>What are you willing to do to obtain a desire height? Or better yet, I&#8217;ll ask a simpler question. Have you ever taken any supplements that never worked? If you have traveled down this road before, there are a few key factors you should know in order to gain height naturally</p>

<p>The two factors I&#8217;m speaking of are important if a person wants to gain height. Aside from exercises, it is very important to consider taking the right nutrition including the right supplements that fits your healthy lifestyle.</p>

<p>An extremely important nutrient critical to gain height is. You can consume a lot of protein from foods such as, cattle fish, poultry, meat, and eggs. In addition, adding dairy products to your diet enhances more of your body&#8217;s protein intake.</p>

<p>But the real question here is: What should you be avoiding? For one, consuming too much saturated fats are not needed by the body. With saturated fats (a.k.a. animal fats) you will prevent gaining height. Excessive intake of these types of foods actually lesson the chances to gain height, and, in turn will have an adverse affect which causes one to gain more weight instead.</p>

<p>Consequently, height supplements are very important to one&#8217;s daily intake and dieting to gain height. The primary focus should be the bones which requires enough calcium intake to help make them grow stronger and enhance more growth. A daily intake of calcium that comes from protein rich foods and dairy products are the best sources.</p>

<p>With that said, there should also be a daily intake of magnesium&#8212;meaning a daily intake of milk. Therefore, it is recommended that you consider drinking at least two glasses of milk prior to going to bed.</p>

<p>In order to gain more height, the best way is avoiding unhealthy habits and activities that can be detrimental to your health. Bad habits such as smoking, drinking alcohol, consuming foods that have too much carbohydrates and sugars, drinking carbonated sodas, including an intake of too much salty foods should all be avoided.</p>

<p>What is generally recommended: Eating healthy foods is always recommended and something you should do on a daily basis; drink plenty of water; get enough sleep. Drinking water allows the vitamins you take to absorb easily in the bloodstream. Then afterwards, the nutrients are transported to different parts of the body including bones and muscles. Therefore, not only would you be helping your bones and muscles to grow longer, they will also grow stronger and larger.</p>

<p>Changing old habits into new ones mean following a daily regimen of height supplements and exercising (among other things) to enhance gaining height. When having the discipline and persistence over a long term endeavor such as this, the payoff can be quite rewarding.</p>

<p>There are scientific facts as well as books that bring everything together when searching for a complete regimen to follow. On the other hand, there are many unproven products out there making false claims to gaining height. Taking the low cost approach and sticking with what really works come from taking natural height supplements and doing other things the natural way.</p>

			<p><i>Philip Sumpter has helped many people across the globe to resolve problems and issues after researching products that work. If you would like to increase your height naturally, there is a proven way to do it.

			<title>How To Start An Online Business On The Right Path</title>

			<description><![CDATA[
			<p>By Donna Ragland</p>
			<p><i>Preparation is a key element when starting an online business. Too often the idea of working from home presents a lackadaisical attitude and suggests less effort is needed for the business. This can be risky and may even send the business down the wrong path to success. Getting prepared doesn't require lots of time or money. Just take care of the five easy tips presented in this article and you'll be on your way quickly and easily.</i></p>
			<p>When starting an online business, it helps to do a little bit of preparation to lay a foundation for success. If you think about it, starting any project requires some thought process and planning to achieve the desired result. Preparation may include having the right tools, finding a location, and scheduling time to accomplish the work. Starting an online business is really no different and to achieve a successful result will take similar preparation.</p>

<p>Here are five easy tips to help prepare for starting an online business.</p>

<p>1. Set realistic expectations.</p>

<p>Realistic expectations of what you want to achieve is important to get your business moving in the right direction. Starting any business takes time and there will be a learning curve.&nbsp; There&#8217;s a lot of hype and talk about ways to quickly achieve success and make big money overnight. And while it may be possible to generate a large income quickly, it&#8217;s important to keep things in perspective. Setting a goal to make a million dollars in a week when you haven&#8217;t even started a business yet is not being realistic. Learning how to operate an online business requires specialized knowledge and it will take time to get started. Carefully consider your reasons for wanting a business and what you want to achieve. Then set your expectations accordingly and remember to keep it real.</p>

<p>2. Be prepared to invest money in startup costs.</p>

<p>Even though online business costs can be lower than more traditional businesses, there will still be some costs required. Initial costs may include the purchase of a computer, Internet connection fees, and a few office supplies. Education and training is also important when starting a business and there are many resources available for free.&nbsp; But after you have a basic foundation you&#8217;ll want to research and invest in fee-based training courses for more in-depth knowledge.&nbsp; As you continue to learn more and your business progresses other costs to keep in mind include domain names, web hosting, email autoresponder services, and marketing and advertising.</p>

<p>3. Schedule time for business activities.</p>

<p>Even if you only have a few hours each week, set specific days and hours you will make available for your business activities. This helps you to focus during that time period on business work only. It also establishes your business hours and lets others know you should not be disturbed or interrupted during that time. Think of it just like you were at the day job office where you have dedicated time to be at work.</p>

<p>4. Identify your office area.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s best to have a quiet area where you can conduct your business activities with little to no interruptions. Most online businesses require only a computer and Internet connection to get started. Also, a few basic office supplies, such as file folders and notepaper, may be helpful to organize information and keep records. Given these minimal requirements, a small space for your computer and work area should suffice. As your business grows it may be necessary for more work or storage space but when just getting started focus only on the immediate requirements.</p>

<p>5. Take your business seriously.</p>

<p>Sometimes there&#8217;s a misconception that working from home takes less effort to operate the business.&nbsp; After all, it is possible to sit in front of your computer in your pajamas and make a nice income. But getting caught up in that scenario can be a risky approach. If you don&#8217;t take your business seriously, it will be difficult for others to take you seriously. Additionally, if you&#8217;re not serious you&#8217;ll be less likely to commit your time to doing business activities. Even though operating an online business may be easier than a traditional business, certain actions must still be done if you are to make any income. Any successful business takes time and effort. Develop the right attitude to reflect your commitment to having a business and take your business seriously.</p>

<p>Getting prepared for your online business doesn&#8217;t require a huge monetary or time investment. Develop the right attitude and take your business seriously. Have realistic expectations and know it takes time and knowledge to start an online business. Decide where you will conduct your business activities and plan for the basic essentials. Remember to schedule your business time and set aside an initial budget for startup costs.</p>

<p>Just taking care of these few little things will get you on your way quickly and easily. You&#8217;ll be prepared to start your online business and make your journey to success a little easier.</p>

			<title>US Bank Accounts For Non-Residents:  A Buyers Guide</title>

			<p>By Martin Pavion</p>
			<p><i>If you have wasted your energy trying to open a US bank account from abroad then read this article for buyers advice about how to avoid the common problems you'll encounter. Despite what many people believe US bank accounts CAN be obtained legally by nearly everybody and there is no need to pay huge application fees or exploit dangerous gray areas which can put your money at risk.</i></p>
			<p>After spending much of June researching how to open a US bank account from outside of America I have created a guide of what you should look for to avoid frustrations, wasted time and to avoid putting your money at unnecessary risk.</p>

<p>If you see companies selling &#8220;US Bank Account Kits&#8221; online then realize that they are charging you money just to tell you of a bank account that accepts applicants.&nbsp; Their kits usually provides you with application forms and perhaps a quick guide as to what you should write in the application.&nbsp; There is nothing wrong with paying money as a kind of &#8220;finders fee&#8221; but understand that you will be able to get those application forms for free from the bank.&nbsp; I&#8217;ve provided a list of banks that do accept international applicants below and if you feel the need then you are welcome to contact them yourself.</p>

<p>Be careful about traders selling US Bank Account Packs on EBay.&nbsp; These people rarely have any experience opening these accounts themselves and they have no idea if their product actually works or not.&nbsp; Many of these people have bought the package from somebody else and they will just sell it online without even caring if you waste your money on it.&nbsp; A lot of loopholes have closed recently and often these packs are completely out of date and could get you into trouble.</p>

<p>There is a way to get a US Bank account through E*Trade which you&#8217;ll see promoted.&nbsp; You&#8217;ll be told that you can get a check book and, with a $1,000 deposit, you&#8217;ll be able to get an ATM card too.&nbsp; You won&#8217;t be told that this bank is E*Trade though but you&#8217;ll see reference to it because they will mention a $1,000 requirement to apply for the &#8220;Platinum Visa Card&#8221;.&nbsp; What these companies don&#8217;t warn you about is that you are obligated to open a brokerage account with E*Trade and if you don&#8217;t regularly trade in stocks then your account can be frozen. It can take MONTHS to get it unfrozen.&nbsp; Thee promoters also claim that you can pay checks into your account which is no longer true.</p>

<p>There are some companies advertising ATM cards that can be used with PayPal and E-Gold.&nbsp; Some of the merchants do not have strong links with any bank and there have been instances where suddenly the agent has been suspended and all his customers cards get stopped.&nbsp; These ATM cards operate as &#8220;direct deposit&#8221; accounts and although you&#8217;ll be issued with a card, you will not have your money in your own account.</p>

<p>Be careful about how frequently websites are updated.&nbsp; Check to see if the website updates its bank fees regularly or not.&nbsp; If they don&#8217;t then it is a sign that the website you are working with is out-of-date and the agent may not really understand the industry any more.&nbsp; Changes happen all the time with bank terms and conditions for international members so if you see fees that do not specify a date, check with the merchant to see if they are still current.</p>

<p>Don&#8217;t trust websites that are not affiliated with the bank or card provider.&nbsp; Internet fraud is common and it is very easy for a thief to set up a website to collect your details for identity theft.&nbsp; Look for a direct link to and from the banks website.&nbsp; Also make contact with the merchant before ordering to get an idea of their response time and commitment to customer service.</p>

<p>If you make an application using a web form check that the website address for the orders page is secure.&nbsp; A secure website will begin with https://  and (depending on your web browser) should show a closed padlock to show that the site is secure.</p>

<p>Don&#8217;t pay hundreds of dollars for administrative fees.&nbsp; I do believe that it might be necessary to pay extra to open business bank accounts but some companies charge over $500 just to process your application form.&nbsp; Often you&#8217;d be able to apply to these banks directly but the agents won&#8217;t tell you which bank they will submit your application to so that they can profit from you.</p>

<p>Often Bank accounts for international clients come with additional fees.&nbsp; Make sure you investigate these before registering for any account.</p>

<p>Don&#8217;t trust any company that doesn&#8217;t require you to provide them with at least 2 forms of ID.&nbsp; One must have proof of your address, the other must have a photo ID.&nbsp; If a merchant does not request this then they are in breach of US banking laws.</p>

<p>Any bank or service that offers a Visa Debit card will be charged an &#8220;international usage fee&#8221; by Visa International.&nbsp; The charge is applied if you use your card in a country other than where it was issued.&nbsp; Visa&#8217;s International Usage fee can be as crazy as 8% and because the fee is not charged directly by the bank many banks avoid mentioning this.&nbsp; Before you do anything you must ask whether you will be charged this fee or whether the bank will waive it.&nbsp; Nearly every bank will require that you pay this fee!</p>

<p>market research agency as a market research consultant I do, from time to time, attend local networking meetings with other owners of SMEs across a wide variety of sectors. As we introduce ourselves to each other I often, frustratingly, find myself explaining what market research is in basic terms rather than promoting my business. As an industry market research has historically been fairly poor at promoting itself to the wider business community. Although many large Market research companies have specialist market research departments they often struggle to get heard internally despite holding the key to a vast amount of information that should help shape all areas of the business. Amongst SMEs specialist market research knowledge is rare with even those heavily involved in sales and marketing typically only having a indistinguishable idea of how market research can be used to help them.</p>

<p>market research surveys - When companies look for ways to increase revenue, they have few options. They can attract more customers for their existing products, raise prices, or offer new products to the public. market research surveys - the problem is that the development costs of creating a new product are often significant. Investing limited resources in that development carries a certain level of risk. After all, if a new product fails to generate sales, the resources that were allocated to its development are wasted.</p>

<p>market research surveys  - the main reason to survey your market prior to developing a new product is to identify the likelihood of generating sales. This goes far beyond merely asking people if they would buy it. These surveys can help you determine if a need or desire for the product exists in the market. And if so, will people pay for it? A market research surveys should help you gauge whether those who show interest in your company&#8217;s new product have the necessary discretionary income and the willingness to spend it.</p>
