Russia-U.S. relations: avoiding collision
from YouTube :: Videos by russiatoday September 26, 2008
Today we discuss what's happening in Russia-U.S. relations. After Georgias military provocation in South Ossetia relations between Moscow and Washington have deteriorated to such an extent, that the republican candidate for Vice-Presidency openly considered a possibility of going to war with Russia. Vladimir Putin says relations are so bad, that any change may only be for the better. Are there grounds for the Russian Prime Minister's "informed optimism"?

3 Strategies Small Businesses Can Use to Gain an Advantage in Bad Times
from Bigg Success July 24, 2008
A recent study by Intuit, the software giant behind QuickBooks, Quicken, and TurboTax, found that three-fourths of small business owners expect to grow this year, in spite of all the talk about a recession, corporate layoffs, and consumers cutting back. Now, it s probably safe to say that small business owners are a relatively optimistic group. Part of their optimism, though, comes from that fact that two-thirds of the people surveyed said they had survived a recession before. They ve done it by putting their customers first and focusing on their finances. . When I first started studying entrepreneurship, my perception was that large companies created the jobs. Our colleges train us to work in bigg business. It s true that large companies tend to hire a lot of people during boom times, as do small companies. But during tough economic times, large companies cut back. Interestingly, small companies tend to pretty much hold their own. . If you re keeping an eye on the news, you see that a lot of large companies are cutting marketing and even customer service. They re cutting jobs and even entire departments. They re streamlining. . As numerous studies have shown, the net effect of this is that, over the course of the business cycle, almost all new jobs come from small businesses. Opportunities created by large businesses for small businesses in bad times As large companies make cuts, astute small businesses can gain an advantage by using any or all of the following three strategies: #1 Turn bigg companies into your customers. They re reviewing their operations. If what they cut is what you do it s your service market to them! They may still need that service in some capacity take advantage of it! #2 Recruit their talent A lot of the people they re laying off are very talented. These are people that you may have never been able to get before. Recruit that talent. Provide them with a nice place to fall. They may look for something more stable or some place where they feel more of a sense of ownership. Your business could be the answer they re looking for! #3 Go after the large company s small customers. With the cuts they re making, they have few resources to take care of their customers. It s the old 80/20 rule they re likely to super-serve the 20% of their customers that constitute 80% of their sales. Then they may cut back on service for all the rest. Go after these customers that are facing reduced service. They may be a small account to a large company, but they may be one of your biggest customers! Subscribe to The Bigg Success Show in iTunes.

How to Get Noticed in Job Market 2.0
from Bigg Success July 07, 2008
Today on The Bigg Success Show, we welcomed Phil Rosenberg. Phil is the founder of reCareered, a career coaching service that helps job searchers get past the biggest challenge in today s competitive jobs market to get noticed. Phil, what does reCareered mean? It means someone who is seeking a job change, or trying to revitalize their career, or someone who is between jobs and wants help with how the job markets have changed in the last eight years or so. How has the job market changed? Eight years ago, the majority of resumes were delivered on paper. Around 2000, it changed to where most resumes were delivered digitally. And how does that change the resume itself? It changes it completely. The paper-based resume had to be static. The only way to customize it was by a cover letter. A digital resume can be searched. It also increased the number of resumes that went into most companies, by as many as ten-fold. We always hear about search engine optimization and how you want to rank at the tops of the pages for Google. But apparently you can do the same for your resume it can be optimized? You bet, and it s especially critical in today s world. Most major employers get thousands of resumes for each job, but they only staff to look at twenty to thirty. That s two to three percent. So your goal, in submitting your resume today, is getting to the top two or three percent. Through resume search optimization, you can manage that process rather than have it be random. My strategy with my clients is to make a resume a single-use document to have it infinitely customizable so that you re gaming the search engine and forcing it higher up the search page. How do we make a good impression right upfront? There s been research from the University of Toledo and Stanford University that states that interview decisions are made within the first two to thirty seconds. That blew me away. The rest of the interview is just somebody justifying their initial decision. So it s a gut feel decision that may occur even before you shake hands. It s all about preparation. Learn about your client how they communicate (verbally and non-verbally), how they dress, how they look. If you want a job, go to a place that s close to their office and sit there during lunch. Talk to people from that company who are getting lunch there. On a Friday night, go to Happy Hour at a bar close to their office and talk to people from that company. When you talk to them, watch their body movements. What s the tone they use? What s the speed they use to talk? You can also do that with their written communication their web site, annual reports, press releases. The key to all this is communicating to your audience that it seems like you already work there. It reminds me of the book, Guerilla Selling. It s all about learning about your customer, in that case, but in the case the employer you re going after getting as much information as you can, wherever you can. It s amazing how much information you can gather. Sure. That s also an effective way to use LinkedIn, Facebook or your own personal network. Chances are you have contacts within that company. A lot of people only use those contacts to see what jobs are available and to ask them to pass their resume along. They leave out some of the greatest uses of a network talking to people within an organization to find out what an organization is like and what the communication style is like. Listening for how they re answering questions rather than just what they re saying. This is fantastic advice because you do want to fit in. It s all about mimicking. When you re at an interview, should you sit up straight and lean forward or should you try to have your body language be similar to the body language of the interviewer? From what I ve read, you should try to mimic that person. That s exactly what you re doing it s called mirroring. You re trying to show that you fit in. You speak the same language. You re really trying to act like you already work at the company. It takes a ton of preparation. A lot of people aren t willing to put that preparation in, but the people who do get a huge, almost an unfair, advantage.

from YouTube :: Tag // snowboard July 01, 2008

Obama and Bittergate -- Bill Maher's Take on Who Is Bitter
from YouTube :: Tag // modest April 21, 2008
Bill Maher goes off on comments made about "bittergate" -- especially how Barack Obama's "bitter" comments are not nearly as "elitist" as John McCain and Hillary Clinton would like you to believe. Quoting Maher -- "Referring to voters who America has left behind economically as BITTER isn't an insult. In fact, it's a compliment, acknowledging that they're smart enough to understand what's happening to them. The HOPEFUL, now those are some idiots. So let's separate the bitter -- my people -- from the idiots. If you think the Democrats are going to take away your Bible, you're an idiot. If you think they're going to take away your gun, you're an armed idiot. And if you think they're going to take away your gun and give it to a Mexican to kill your God, you're Bill O'Reilly." Thank goodness for Bill Maher! He puts things in perspective and makes us laugh while doing it! And -- politically -- he isn't afraid to say "how stupid" those pundits are who want to make people's legitimate "bitterness" something other than what it is -- BITTERNESS at an unresponsive government that constantly rushes to help the rich while leaving those of middle, modest and low incomes far behind! The Bush / McBush advise to the poor -- "Let them eat cake!" Didn't leaders once lose their heads over such "elitism" somewhere back in history...... well -- in November -- no heads will roll -- but power in the White House will switch hands! A fitting and long overdue response from the American people!

OVERCOME BITTERNESS WITH OPTIMISM Words Of Obama In PA
from YouTube :: Tag // modest April 20, 2008
This video lets Senator Barack Obama speak for himself in a campaign address in PA in mid-April when he said "this campaign has to transcend pettiness and address the real issues that have caused people to become bitter and lose faith in their government." Obama's answer for the tens of thousands of middle, modest and low income workers who are suffering economically or have lost their jobs in PA and throughout much of America -- OVERCOME BITTERNESS BY SUPPORTING A MESSAGE OF OPTIMISM -- a message that proclaims that hard working Americans OF ALL INCOMES will be heard and assisted by government as only the rich and wealthy are heard and supported today by the Bush Administration. This is the major difference Senator Obama offers from Senator John McCain -- "an admission" that much of America is bitter over its economic treatment by the Bush Administration -- and the recognition of the desire of most of America for CHANGE from Bushonomics and policies of neglect of the needs and interests of ordinary Americans. OVERCOMING BITTERNESS WITH OPTIMISM -- that is what voters will support in the November election. That is why they will vote for Senator Barack Obama for President -- and reject McBush economics and policy in Iraq!

It's not officially spring yet. But it may feel like it to Mariner fans. The team has begun spring training play in Arizona. And the new manager for the Mariners has quite a sunny outlook for the team this year. Too sunny, in fact, for Seattle P-I sports columnist Art Thiel, who tells KPLU's Kirsten Kendrick there could be a few dark clouds on the horizon.
