Small Business Resources: 5 Valuable Tips
Please watch: “The no BS Entrepreneur Definition”

-~-~~-~~~-~~-~-

Brad Adams, founder of www.RenegadeEntrepreneurs.com reveals 5 small business resources that every entrepreneur, business owner or executive should be using.
These small business resources are tools which allow entrepreneurs or executives to get more stuff done and create more time in their day. And creating more time means having more freedom to do the things you like.
The first small business resource is an often-misunderstood service. While many think of it as “goofy”, it is actually a very valuable service that will do tasks for you…fast and inexpensively.
The second tool is used superficially by many. But most just scratch the surface of the powerful features and miss out on the power. This great business resource will greatly help you to retain information and find easily find it when needed.
The third small business resource revealed solves one of the great puzzles of all people who spend time online. It will help you to vastly improve your computer security while simplifying your life.
The fourth tool solves probably the single most vexing problem facing entrepreneurs and executives today…too many emails. We are all overloaded with emails and don’t have effective ways to filter and organize the mass of information that comes in to our inbox. This business resource simply and elegantly solves that problem. Here’s a hint: it helps you to regain your sanity.
In this video, Brad Adams emphasizes that there are many more than 5 tools, so the selection of just 5 was very difficult…and certainly not all encompassing.
After deliberation, the fifth and final small business resource recommended is a data storage solution. As with some others, it is commonly used. But few use it properly and get the full power from the tool.
This resource will help you to store your information so that you can access it from all your devices. And you won’t be trying to find a needle in a haystack when you go looking for something. Used correctly, this tool will allow you to easily find your files any time you want.
As technology changes all the time, viewers are urged to sign up at www.RenegadeEntrepreneurs.com to learn about more small business resources and keep on top of the latest developments.

10 Proven Negotiation Strategies and Tactics for Small Business
Visit the Small Business Resource Center at https://resources.crowdspring.com

Every small business and startup must negotiate with employees, vendors, customers, and others.
If negotiation sends chills down your spine or you want to become a better negotiator, this video is for you.

I’ve negotiated with thousands of people over the past few decades (for 13 years as an attorney and for the past ten as an entrepreneur and business owner). Here are my 10 proven tactics to help you negotiate better:

1. Know Your Objective. Know what you want BEFORE you negotiate.

2. Prepare. The more you know about the other side – the more options you’ll have during the negotiation.

3. Never Be Intimidated. If you allow yourself to be intimidated, you’ll have difficulty getting your needed concessions during the negotiation.

4. Pay Attention To Perception and Emotion. How the other side perceives your negotiating positions and tactics – and your emotional responses – will strongly influence their participation and responses during the negotiation.

Watch the video for more detail on these four tactics, plus six more.
