The Impostor Syndrome

Any time you are in a position of teaching, giving advice, or offering a service that is supposed to increase someone else's business there can be the fear. The fear that you are unqualified to tell this guy what he should be doing. That you really don't know as much as you should, and that this guy is going to see right through you as an impostor. This is The Impostor Syndrome.

This is a very common fear among us that have been advice givers. No need to carry around wrinkle cream as this happens to everyone. I have definitely felt it before when I worked with much older clients that have been around for a while. Hearing "fake it til you make it" from other co-workers constantly as the theme of the day. Like they look at my youth and think to themselves that this guy has no idea what he is talking about. Actually, sometimes I didn't know as much as I thought, but I knew more than he did, and I knew how to find the info I needed anyways. Here's some advice.

4 Day Work Weeks?

When I used to work in manufacturing the greatest way to work was the 4 day work week. 4 shifts of 10 hours and then a 3 day weekend was the best. It felt like a much shorter week, and it felt like a much more open weekend where I had more opportunity to go somewhere without the stress, or the need for hair loss prevention.

Are there real benefits as an employer for the 4 day work week? Employees love it of course, but what are the drawback, and how do you avoid them? It will take a lot of thinking on the subject that's for sure, but have you ever considered it? Take a look at how to implement a 4 day work week.

The Evolution of Green in Business

"Green" business has been around for about 40 years officially. Right now it has become not just a niche, but a huge marketing need, and even a necessity to keep up with competitors.

The evolution of green into business has come a long ways. Back before 1970, factories actually dumped their waste legally into the water, and pumped toxic fumes into the air with no thought about it. Probably even got a bonus for doing it, or a some nice coach gifts for the skipper. April 22, 1970, when Senator Gaylord Nelson put out a call to Americans to start a grass-roots effort to protest the pollution generated by industry. That first Earth Day, some 20,000 people demonstrated in cities across the country. Six months later, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was founded to regulate business practices that harmed the environment.

While many regulations over the years have focused on pollution on a mass scale from factories, we have moved on to a bit of a different style of green. Conservation has become the new theme for most, while still being environmentally safe. This is good for consumers as well since we are more likely to want sustainability from our products. They last longer, and use less energy, which saves us more money.

So...take a look at how to get yourself on the right track by reading about how the green evolution ahs become standard business practice.
