CRM Success by the Numbers - Part 3: Proxies for Progress

There are also some good numbers that can be used as proxies for CRM success and progress, especially during the initial stages of a rollout. This is a time when it can be a bit premature to try to count actual Clients or dollars in the door. But, at the same time, we may also have to deal with the reality that sometimes the people who just wrote that big check for the system may have slightly less-than-reasonable expectations – like thinking that once the system has been installed, money should start falling from the sky.

To reassure any of your key constituencies during the CRM rollout phases, you can consider metrics such as:

• Numbers of attorney contacts and records cleaned to prepare for system installation
• Participation levels of key groups including partners, other attorneys, secretaries  and/or other key staff members
• Numbers of assistants or attorney or attorneys trained on the benefits
• Numbers of missing required data elements added and…
• Numbers of prizes awarded to assistants or attorneys for achieving goals or progress

Once the rollout progresses and you realize that there is light at the end of the tunnel (and it isn't a train) there are even more numbers you can use…

5 Reasons Why People Have a Fear of Success

Come On...The Fear of Success?

…how can anyone fear success?

I mean, everyone can understand a fear of failure, after all, no one wants to be a loser...

But fear of success?!

How is it possible?

I want you to do a little time-line test with me right now.

Stand in front of a mirror, look yourself in the eye and tell yourself that you truly want to achieve the goals you've set for yourself.

Got it? Now, go back and sit down....Imagine you have achieved everything you've planned.

You are at the top.

How does it feel?

If you will give me a bland answer like "It feels good," I swear no Coffee with Kevin Hogan next week!

Think about it. Are you really happy?

Is your life truly complete?

Are you lost and worried that there is nothing left to do, nowhere to climb?

Are you lonely?

Is this what you truly wanted?

Or do you feel like you made a mistake in your life?

A lot of times we are too stubborn to admit that we are afraid of success or of what it will bring us. So we lie to ourselves, thinking that our happiness is up there on the top of the hill, but what if it's not?

So, what are the five biggest reasons people fear success?

Page 2

5 Reasons Why People Have A Fear Of Success

Read the list. Look deep down inside yourself and analyze if any of them sound true to you. Pay special attention to the reasons you deny especially hard! Are you trying to prove anything to yourself or me?

Remember I don't know what's going on in your mind, you only think I do!!

Sometimes things aren't what they appear to be.

Reason #1:

"If I will achieve that goal I won't be who I am, I'll change somehow...I will lose my personality."

Very often people are afraid that if they will reach their goal they will have to stop being who they are and start playing someone else's role.

Underline that. Remember it. Read it again.

It's big.

You must realize that you will have to change. But it doesn't mean that it will be some freaky change. Life is a constant motion, a constant change. It throws down a challenge "Change or get left behind."

That's what keeps us growing, moving forward, getting rid of the obstacles that slow us down.

Is someone asking you to turn into an evil, bloodthirsty monster?

You can be a wonderful person, both spiritually and materially wealthy and still be tolerated by the majority of the people out there.

:-)

Success is often tied to all kinds of weird beliefs that have been squished into our minds. But the fact is, that achievement is something that is very good indeed and in all candor....do you want your kids to be successes....or failures?

Then why not yourself?

Reason #2:

"I'm not worth it. I don't deserve to be successful."

This problem is the biggie.

First of all you have to be honest enough with yourself to admit that you do have a challenge with your self-worth, yes?

... and can you admit that you think you don't deserve to be successful. Most of the time, people aren't that honest with themselves. Self-deception is the easiest form of deception there is!

People hide the true reason behind many little, unimportant reasons, and the feeling that "I am not worthy!" is hiding behind closed doors.

You can't treat the cause if you can't find it. But I want you to realize that being straight with yourself is one of the most important factors of achieving anything important in life.

There are many other reasons for fear of success caused by a crummy self-image.

One of them is a lack of belief in your own ability to sustain progress, and maintain the accomplishments you have achieved in your life.

Sometimes you think, "dang, I think I just got totally lucky...."

Another: The belief that there are others out there who are better and smarter than you, who will replace or displace you (and let me tell you that you are RIGHT! There ARE people better and smarter than you and there always will be, but there are also millions of people who don't hold a candle to you!)

What's the third reason?

Page 3

Reason #3:

"It is impossible!"

What can you do if you don't believe it is possible? Use the Palladium Rule: (Platinum and Gold are already taken...)

Palladium Rule: "If someone else has done it, so can I!"

Almost everything on this planet has been done by someone else already at one time or another. I'm sure there is a case similar to yours.

Usually achievement isn't rocket science.

Analyze what you have to do to achieve your goal. What do you have in common with the person who has already achieved a goal similar to yours? What else do you need to have or need to change about yourself? What obstacles are in your way and how can you overcome them? Once you do all that, consider 80% of your job to be done.

The key to your success is following someone else's example while making your contribution unique.

People use the same Interstate Highways every day to get to different places in the same town....

You just have to free that great thinker, great winner, great fighter.

I want you to realize that it is not a question of the actual possibility or impossibility of your goal. It is your personal belief. There are people (myself, for example :) who will beg to differ with you.

And that is just fine and dandy!

Reason #4:

"I can't do it!"

Remember when you were little, you used that excuse a lot.

Every time the task didn't really sound appealing to you (like your math homework or cooking making your own breakfast), you pulled out that "I can't do it" excuse.

It literally means, "I don't know how to do it"....sometimes, "It requires too much practice to get good at 'it' so I can't do it"...

And most of the time it worked!

Someone would help you solve a math problem or would cook your breakfast for you. Today? ....still using the same excuse, hoping that some other person will do all the hard work for you?

Ouch...

"I can't do it!" results from a lack of knowledge or efficiency. That problem is easily fixed. You can gain the knowledge and teach yourself how do "it."

It is quite simple. Unfortunately most of people don't look at it that way. They see their inabilities as a sign from above: "If I can't do it, it is meant to be this way".

Curious...

What would happen... if, for a day, you believed that you CAN do it as strongly as you believed you can't?

Now that's an interesting thought....problem is, in that day you'd probably get over the hump and do it...

And Reason #5?

Page 4

Reason #5:

"The goal is not worth my effort."

Bear with me for a moment....

What if the goal does not sound exciting to you?

For example, you know enough about computers to find a good job. You can learn more in this area and even expect to get a raise and a better position.

It will take about three years of your life, but you know you can get there. You know you will be making about $120,000+ a year; you will have a nice car and a nice house.

The problem is that you hate the idea of spending most of your day in the stuffy office, sitting in front of the computer screen.

You hate the idea of not being able to spend any time with your family, but for their sake you are ready to do it.

Answer?

Back to the drawing board to find another goal that is both worth your effort and will make you happy.

It's simple, why waste years of your life doing something you don't like, when you could be doing something that you enjoy or you find rewarding or heaven forbid, both?!

There is a quick way to check if you really want THAT kind of success.

Time for pause...

Sit or lie down comfortably. Close your eyes and imagine that you achieved everything you planned on. If your goal was to make $50.000 a month, picture the house you will be able to afford making that money, picture the car you will be driving, picture the faces of your friends, the surprise or proud look on your parents' faces. How do you feel? Are you truly happy? If not, maybe you shouldn't be wasting your time on something society wants you to have and concentrate on the things that make YOU happy.

Here's a reality check:

EVERYONE has a fear of something in life. I'm not big on terrorists.

But there's no reason to fear the good stuff....

How to Compare Equipment Leasing Companies

Covering the start-up costs required to launch a business can be an overwhelming challenge in today’s economy. One major purchase in particular is office equipment, and it can become quite costly depending on the type of business you are starting.

Leasing office equipment is a great alternative to purchasing because it offers many advantages, such as no down payment, no collateral and possible tax deductions.

An equipment lease is basically a rental agreement where a leasing company (the lessor) maintains ownership of the equipment and the business (the lessee) uses it in its business operation.

Did you know just about any type of equipment can be leased with 100% financing?

Whether you need office work stations, computers, hardware, printers, IT equipment, or copiers, leasing office equipment is as easy as filling out an application.

When it comes to choosing an equipment leasing company that’s best for you, depends on several factors including, company size, location, and what type of equipment you need.

Here is a list of questions to ask a potential leasing company.

What type of products can I lease?

The greater the selections of products that a leasing company allows the more choices you have for your company. It is also more beneficial to you when a leasing company specializes in a piece of equipment that you are looking to lease. Their expertise can help you select the best product based on use and potential upgrades. In addition, repairs and upgrades will be much easier for you to handle.

What kind of leasing programs or payment options are available?

When it comes to financing you should look for a leasing company that can cater to your company’s specific financial situation. For example, if you run a seasonal business then you may need a more flexible lease payment plan. Consider choosing a leasing company that offers customized programs to fit your needs.

*Tip - Estimate your monthly payment by using a business lease calculator.

What kind of support does your leasing company provide?

This is an extremely important topic and you want to work with a company that has support and resources readily available. Check to see what options they give for you to contact the company such as phone, fax, email, instant online chat, etc. What type of resources do they make available for you online? If the company web site offers articles, videos, FAQ section, and a blog about leasing consider it a major plus.

You should plan to compare at least three potential leasing companies and ask other business contacts who they recommend. Do your due diligence and ask the right questions so you can rest assure that you will be making the right choice.

Do not make the mistake of submitting multiple lease applications because you will hurt your credit scores from all the excessive inquiries.

On a final note, qualifying for an equipment lease is not as easy as it once was. With a tightened credit market, underwriters have tightened up their credit standards and rely more upon credit scores as part of the underwriting process. While the equipment itself serves as collateral, the credit standing of the business owner is simply part of the approval process.

If you have credit scores in the mid 600s then you should be fine but if you have low scores then repair your credit as soon as possible.

Leasing has become a popular option for businesses in today’s economy. In fact, according to the Equipment Leasing Association, eight out of ten businesses in the United States decide to lease some of their business equipment.

What has been your experience with leasing business equipment?

Plan To Fail: Successful Business Planning Starts with Failure

Welcome to the dark side of business planning. It’s not a pleasant topic, but the dark, dangerous discussion of failure is an important part of any plan.

Whether you are a startup or an established business there are a thousand ways to fail. It may be uncomfortable, but thinking about failure is as important to your business planning as marketing and budgeting.

In fact, if you are going to share your plans with investors, it is the single most important topic they will want to see.

How to Plan for Failure
Start by covering the “big 6 business risks”: Product or Technology; Market Acceptance; Key Employees; Competition; and Financing. These risks are important enough to each have their own section of your business plan. And there are plenty of other articles about these typical business risks, so let’s go beyond the basics.

Take your strategy to the next level by writing a new section of your business plan simply called “Risks”. Don’t hold back. This is one place in your plan that you can let your imagination go wild. So put on some gloomy music (Amy Winehouse? Pink Floyd?) and imagine all the ways that your business could come crashing down:

• Government Regulation? Yes! Just look at Amazon’s battle with sales tax. What could Congress do to your company?
• Supplier Dependence? Sure. If making and delivering your product or service relies on a single key vendor, describe how you will find alternatives. 
• Natural Disaster? Absolutely. If your business would be mortally wounded by an earthquake, hurricane, tsunami or tornado, write it down.
• Technology Changes? Oooh boy. Now you’re talking. What if Microsoft launches a new version of Windows? What if people switch from PC’s to Tablets? Imagine how streaming is killing DVDs. You get the idea.

There is always a long list of risks – things that could go wrong. Brainstorm as many as you can, then include your top 5 or 10 in the business plan document.

Dodge the Bullets
The point is not simply to list these threats, but to understand how you can (a) avoid them; or (b) adapt to and overcome them.

If an earthquake would disrupt your internet-based servers… you better look at hosting in multiple cities sooner rather than later. If you are sourcing key parts from just one supplier, describe where you will find a secondary source if the first one fails to deliver. Every plan A needs a plan B… and maybe a C, D and E too.

The more important a piece of your business plan is, the more you should reinforce it with contingency plans. Presenting Failure to Investors Identifying failure points in your business plan is one way that you are reducing risks for your investors. 

Of course, this process can backfire if your contingency plans are too different from your original concept – no investor wants to hear that Plan A is selling organic vegetables, but Plan B is to host websites. A great Plan B leverages everything you know and have already accomplished.

Remember, Plan B should be a "business pivot", not a retreat.

New businesses are inherently risky. No entrepreneur or investor believes they are not. But there’s a difference between starting a risky business and starting a business after you’ve identified and planned for the risks. So give your business the fighting chance it deserves.

Consider your risks, your risk avoidance strategies, and how you will adapt in the worst-case scenarios. Your investors will thank you, and your business will be stronger for it.

What You Need to Know About Incorporating in 2012

We’ve rolled into 2012 and for entrepreneurs, the new year offers a great opportunity to start a new venture and turn your vision into reality.  

If 2012 will be the year you begin your business, there are a few things you've got to keep in mind in order to make your business official. And the sooner you address the legal matters, the better. 

To help you sort through the legal ins and outs of starting a business, here are some of the top questions new entrepreneurs ask:

Do I need to incorporate my business? 

Many small businesses consider themselves too small to worry about incorporation.  However, whether you're a self-employed PR consultant or wedding planner, incorporating or forming an LLC (Limited Liability Company) can be a smart idea. Here's why:

• Liability protection: The LLC and the Corporation (C Corporation or S Corporation) protect the owner’s personal assets from any liability of the company. This means that if your business is sued or can’t pay its debts, your personal assets are shielded from any judgment. Of course, lawsuits are worst-case scenarios and you most likely won’t run into any trouble. However, if you’re sued as a sole proprietor, you’re sued personally, putting everything from your retirement savings to children’s college fund at risk. And did you know that creditor judgments can last up to 22 years? You need to think about protecting the assets you’ll have down the road as well. 
• Taxes: Federal income tax rates can be lower for corporations than for individuals. And as a corporation, you may be entitled to additional deductions.
• Credibility: Adding "LLC" or "Inc." after your company name boosts your credibility in the eyes of some customers and partners.
• Business credit/capital: As a corporation or LLC, it can be easier for you to access a line of business credit. And forming a C Corporation will be essential if you plan to seek Venture Capital funding. 

Where should I incorporate?

Delaware and Nevada are both popular states for incorporation. Delaware offers some of the most flexible, pro-business statutes in the country, and Nevada offers low filing fees, as well as the lack of state corporate income, franchise, and personal income taxes. However, as a general rule of thumb, if your business will have fewer than five shareholders, it’s best to just incorporate in the state where you actually live or have a physical presence. Otherwise, any benefits of Delaware and Nevada will be erased by all added the fees and paperwork created by operating out of state.

How do I incorporate or form an LLC?

In most cases, you set up an LLC or Corporation with the secretary of state’s office for whichever state you choose as your ‘state of incorporation.’ Here’s a quick overview of the process for both the LLC and Corporation:

Forming an LLC

For an LLC, you’ll need to file Articles of Organization or Certificate of Organization with your state’s secretary of state. While the LLC is less formal, these documents must contain at least the minimum requirements as described by state law before they can be successfully filed (and your LLC processed). 

Forming a Corporation

To form a corporation, you’ll need to take the following steps: 

• Draft “Articles of Incorporation” or “Certificate of Incorporation” 
• The Articles of Incorporation must be executed by a person designated as “incorporator.” The incorporator must be an adult and doesn’t need to be affiliated with the corporation in any way other than merely filing the document. Later, this person will pass a resolution assigning all rights and duties to the board of directors.
• Submit your Articles of Incorporation. In most states, the agency responsible for corporate filings is the Secretary of State (usually the Corporations Division). 
• Once the state office has processed your documents, they will return the certified documents to the address provided.
• Elect a board of directors: The Incorporator executes a corporate resolution electing a board of directors assigning all rights and duties to the board.
• Issue shares: The Board of Directors issues shares to designated shareholders.
• S-Corp: If you want the pass-through tax treatment of an S-Corp, you’ll need to file IRS Form 2553 with the IRS within 75 days of the start date of your corporation. 

When should I incorporate?

Since the main benefit of incorporation is liability protection, the sooner you incorporate or form an LLC, the better. There's simply no reason to wait and potentially expose yourself to any more liability than you need to. With the new calendar year, it's a great time to get your legal structure squared away and your business will be set for years to come. 

Most importantly, the act of incorporation or LLC formation won’t break the bank, particularly if you use an online legal filing service or file the forms yourself. Whatever method you choose, make sure to pat yourself on the back for taking this important step for your business and your finances. Here's to a prosperous and happy 2011!

Managing Organizational Conflict

Despite the size of an organization, product or service offered, or whether the organization is a non-profit or for-profit business, there are an array of challenges that can (and likely, will) affect every organization at some point. Organizational conflict is inevitable, but conflict can potentially add value to the organization and its members by testing and refining ideas. The key is to be prepared for these challenges and have a plan of action in place to handle them if and when they do occur. Potential organizational challenges include conflict that arises between co-workers, employees and managers, as well as employees and the organization as a whole (disagreement with organizational values and/or structure). The most effective way to handle organizational conflict is to have a dispute resolution system in place prior to the occurrence of any conflict. Everyone in the organization should be made aware of the dispute resolution system and how it works.

Dispute Resolution System

One of the most important aspects of an effective dispute resolution system is inclusiveness. A dispute resolution system should include all members of the organization—from the CEO to administrative assistants to the sanitation staff. Organization members should also be reminded that no one is exempt from dispute resolution so everyone feels as though they can solve disputes with employees at every level within the organization. Most dispute resolution systems involve some sort of mediation.

Before conflicts are brought to the attention of management, self-mediation between conflicting parties should be strongly recommended. Employees can often resolve conflicts themselves when discussed on a formal platform. If self-mediation does not resolve the conflict, upper management should begin the dispute resolution process. Regardless of the intricate details involved in an organization’s dispute resolution system, the first step to resolving conflict is identifying the cause of the dispute. Instead of focusing on smaller issues, those in charge of the mediation process should attempt to uncover any deep, underlying issues that may be at the core of the conflict, such as varying communication styles, jealousy, prejudices, etc. If the conflict can be resolved by referencing the company policy, conflicting parties should be notified of the company policy, and be formally reminded of the policy and how it relates to the conflict at hand. Otherwise, an uninvolved third party should act as a mediator for the conflicting parties. The mediator should remain neutral at all times, and simply facilitate the discussion between the conflicting parties, ensuring that each party is given an opportunity to voice their opinions about the matter at hand. A record of all mediation sessions should be kept. Upper management should also be kept abreast of the resolution status.

Avoiding Conflict

Many challenges that organizations experience are due to the organization’s lack of valuing its own diversity. Whether that diversity is present through different cultures, sexes, or generations, organizations must learn to value the unique perspectives and contributions of all of its members. All too often organizations continue to approach situations in one particular way, because that is the way that it has worked in the past or the way it has always been done. Valuing employee input can help strengthen organizations—management just has to be open. Creating an environment where employees feel like they have a voice and a real purpose within the organization can help avoid conflict and result in a thriving organization.
