1.) FEATURED ARTICLE
_______________
 
 
=====================================
What's the point?
By: David Batchelor
=====================================
 
 
Each day for five or six days a week you come to work. Perhaps
you come to work in your own business or maybe you are working
for someone else. Either way, you are investing a lot of time and
energy helping this business to succeed. Why should it?
 
I am really asking you if you know the purpose of your business:
it's reason for being? Do not confuse purpose with goals and
business strategy. A purpose is long-lasting  because it is never
fully attainable.
 
It is something you can work towards reaching and still not get
there. Knowing your purpose is not a frivolous issue because
research shows that those businesses which last such as 3M, Sony
and Hewlett-Packard each have a clearly define purpose that has
not changed since the company was founded.
 
What is more, these purposes have talked about some contribution
or value the business was going to provide to the people living
in it's community.
 
Sony, for example, has as its purpose to experience the joy of
advancing and applying technology for the benefit of the public.
 
Similarly, Hewlett-Packard set out to make technical
contributions for the advancement and welfare of the community
and 3M aims to solve unsolved problems innovatively.
 
Mary Kay Cosmetics set its sights on giving unlimited
opportunity to women and Henry Ford strove to democratize the
automobile. Sam Walton built Wal-Mart to give ordinary folk the
chance to buy the same things as rich people.
 
Walt Disney was driven to make people happy. My own company,
works to help people be, do and have all they were created to be,
do and have. And Merck, the drug company, aspires to preserve
and improve human life.
 
So what drives your company?
Why does your business exist?
 
If you do not already know your purpose, you must discover it. I
say discover because you do not create a purpose, it exists
within the company already.
One way of finding your business's reason for being is to employ
the quality tool of asking "why" five times. For example, a
camera company may say that its purpose is to build good cameras.
Why? So people can take good photos.
 
Why do people want good photos? So they can take pictures of
family, friends, places and events that happened in the past.
And, why would they want to do that? To remember.
 
So the purpose of the camera company might be to make it easy
for people to capture those special moments.
 
One advantage of knowing your purpose, or put another way, the
value that you create for your customers, is that it helps you to
see your business from your customer's point of view.
 
Another is that it may open up opportunities you might not have
Otherwise seen.
 
If the camera company had believed its purpose was to build
better still cameras it might have missed expanding into movies.
videos and photo CDs. Also, knowing the business's reason for
being gives staff a noble goal to work towards.
 
Discover the purpose of your business. If everyone in your
company knows the purpose, they will be more focused, more
motivated and more successful.
And so will you.

Here is some investment advice I received today: Never let it be
said that I keep investment advice to myself!
 
* If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago,
  it would now be worth $49.00.
 
* With Enron, you would have $16.50 of the original $1,000.00.
 
* With Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left.
 
* If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Pepsi (the soda, not the
  stock) one year ago, drank all the soda, then turned in the
  bottles for a 5 cent deposit, you would have $107.00.
 
Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink
Pepsi heavily and recycle."

6.) HOT BIZ TIP
__________
 
 
"Stop Searching Around Blindly"
=============================================
 
Instead of just surfing around blindly, how about an organized
search effort, such as that required for research?
Unfortunately, the web is filled with millions of pages, and
hundreds of search engines, so finding what you want is never
easy. But here are a few tips to ease the pain just a little.
 
Use Boolean searches on search engines that support them.
What is a Boolean search? It's a method used to separate
search terms with particular keywords. The Boolean keywords
are AND, OR, NOT, IF, THEN, and EXCEPT. For example,
sticking AND between the keywords "children" and "safety" will
give you results based on those two terms. Sites containing
both terms will be searched.
 
OR means you want to match sites that include only one of
the terms. NOT means match one term, but exclude another
term. For example, "computers NOT compaq" would yield pages
of sites free from Compaq computers.
 
Experiment with these search terms, and your results will be
more focused.
 
Here's a suggestion for improving your search results beyond
the Boolean expressions. You can use a search program known
as Copernic. It's available in free and paid for versions, with
various levels of functionality based on the version you opt
for. The program dramatically improves your results. Here's the
site description for you:
 
* Simultaneously consults the best search engines
* Brings back relevant results with summaries
* Removes duplicate information and dead links
* Easy to use award-winning search solution Over 6 million
users worldwide. <http://www.copernic.com>
