Executive Suite: It's 2011
All right, fellow members of the Executive Suite, we are staring down the barrel at 2011 and you know you need a solid business plan.
No excuses now. Don't even start telling me your company is too small, too large, or too in-between to have a business plan. I don't even want to hear it. All you're telling me is that you don't have one and so you really don't know where you are going. I'll bet you have a navigator in your car as you cruise the metropolis. Well, it might be helpful to have a compass for the business as well, since it pays for that navigator.
High school, college, and pro football teams have game plans. Some of them spend as much as 20 hours a week assembling one for a single game. Surely you have 20 hours to set the direction for your company over the coming one to three years, and provide a structure within which all key decisions are made.
I have stated before that I believe the main reason so many companies lack a plan is not because their leadership does not realize its importance, but because many owner/managers do not know what a business plan really is, let alone be able to develop one. They are entrepreneurs not professors at the business college. As such, putting together some formal plan ranks right up there with cleaning out the garage.
Fret not. You don't have to go online and download some elaborate design so your plan looks like a government report. There is a cottage industry of hustlers out there who would love to sell you more than you need to set your direction.
Forget that. Below I am going to lay out the bones of business plan. Beware: you are not going to get a lot of French pastry here. We want a business plan that is simple and drives the business, not something that sits on the shelf until next December 31.
Get Them Together
Assemble your upper management team (whether that includes just your spouse, or twelve vice presidents, get them together and go to work). If you are really lean in management then include some of your key and trusted employees. You not only want a variety of input and insights, you want your key people to "buy in" to your finished plan, so it moves from paper to committed action.
Regardless of size, you can usually divide a company up into four sectors:
- CLIENT DEVELOPMENT, and
What we are going to is assess the current state of each of these and set goals for where we want to be in say, one year.
There's an old line among Las Vegas sports handicappers. The key to success is not how big your bankroll is; it is how you manage that cash as you place the wagers. Laying a thousand dollars on the Giants when you have only fifteen hundred in your pocket is a ticket out of town.
That applies to our industry in spades. We need to know where we are right now—cash register honest—in terms of financial stability, from cash flow, to receivables to debt. Finance is the brain and spinal cord of a business, and cash is the blood. We need a thorough financial "physical."
Once done, and regardless of financial status, we want to determine where reasonably do we want to be in a year. These goals may involve volume, profit, debt retirement or all three. Spell out your financial goals.
Administration is key because it is basic to how the company is governed and how it is managed financially. Is the company administratively understaffed? Too large? Too inefficient, efficient, well-designed, or poorly structured? Take a long, hard look using only one criterion: what is in the company's best interests. Don't let personalities or emotions get in the way here. Your banker doesn't.
Now you want to hear everyone out on this. Tell them to be candid but respectful—that their jobs are not on the line due to honesty. As the book of Proverbs says, you need many advisers. Well, you have them right there and they see what you don't see.
Although this sector necessarily overlaps with other three it requires special attention. Here we look at the quality and quantity of our people. Do we have too few or too many? Who are our best performers? Are our best players playing the right positions? Do we have team players playing the key positions? How good is morale? Are we developing our people, making them better? Do we evaluate them regularly and fairly? Do we have the right structure for our company?
This may seem like a lot of items to consider, but if you talk them through with your colleagues you will be surprised how much consensus there will likely be. From here we, again, we chart a direction, planning the implementation of changes in the personnel arena.
Client Development
Where are we in sales and customer service? What is our current client base, and how well are we serving them? Do we have a sufficiently tight grip on those clients or could they leave us quickly? What are our sales projections for the coming year? What should they be?
Basic to this process is a specific assessment of our current sales and customer service departments in size and effectiveness and action plans for making necessary improvements.
Technical Development
On the equipment front, we need to know what we have, what condition it is in, and what we need and can afford. Clearly, this sector must mesh with finance and sales because the three are interdependent.
You Make The Call
Once you have gone through these steps here is what you will get: Consensus on many items; some variation on others; and some without any thread of common agreement. What you will definitely get is some insights that you did not have when you started. You will hear some things—good or bad—that will be news to you and that you needed to hear.
In many instances the consensus will make decision-making easy. In other cases, crying for a determination you will have to put on the pants and make the call. Try to build support but let everyone know that there will be spots in which they will all have to back a decision only you can make.
Final Thoughts
Obviously, you can spread the workload and streamline the assessment process by having the various managers of the sectors prepare reports for presentation and discussion. Nonetheless, be sure all participants contribute to the review of each area. The aim is unity of purpose--one company business plan.
Once done, schedule monthly meetings with your team to assess progress. These "accountability" sessions both enable your people to stay focused and committed, as well as allow you to make necessary course corrections along the way. Be careful of the latter, however, because if you start fiddling with the plan too much it will disappear in substance and significance like that once large Thanksgiving turkey.
Finally, wherever possible, share the business game plan with the rest of the company. Remember, in many respects you are mainly the coaches, they are the players. They need to know the game plan. They are the ones who are going to win it for you.

How To Buy Saltwater Rods
Finding a rod to go saltwater fishing starts with three basic considerations: your experience, your preferred way of fishing and the type of fish you're after. You then have a choice of several styles of rods to get the job done.
How to buy saltwater rods
There are two main types of rods--baitcasting and spinning. The type of rod you buy depends as much on the reel you buy as the type of fishing that you plan to do.
Length & weight
Length and weight depend of the type of fish that you want to catch and your fishing style. Typically, the bigger the fish, the longer the cast so the longer the rod.
Lure/Line weight
Most rods today are made from either graphite or fiberglass, or a composition of these two materials.

"Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs."
Hmmm, didn't see a Step 12 thread here, so I figured I'd start one. Would love to hear everyone's input on this Step.
I also just had a specific thought....people refer to doing 12th Step work when they go on a call to help a drunk. Sure, that makes sense, as they tried to carry this message to alcoholics. But what about when one practices these principles in all their affairs?
It seems to me that there's a vast array of non-AA 12th Step work. If you help your sister out of a jam, even if she's been a royal pain in your butt for most of your life, isn't that doing 12th Step work as well? You've just practiced the principles in another affair, so why not?
Geez, now you all have a clue as to what swirls around in the vast wasteland of my head when I don't have enough work to do.

With the promise of production versions going on-sale next year, BMW's "i" sub-brand will unveil its third model, the i3 Coupe, in concept form later today during this year's Los Angeles auto show. Unlike the i3 four-door and i8 sports car concepts, the i3 Coupe looks more production-ready, with less glass and tamer bodywork. Like its four-door city car counterpart, the two-door i3 is powered by a 170 horsepower electric motor that's mounted in the rear. And as you may have guessed from the image above, yes, you will have to plug the BMW in. Expect more BMW "i" brand info from forthcoming LA show reports.

Sling TV is a new $20-per-month live TV package with 16 channels, including ESPN, AMC, TNT, CNN, History, HDTV and the Disney Channel. How does it work, how can you get it -- and will it let you quit cable?
TV makers Samsung, LG, Panasonic are among those partnering with video heavyweights like Netflix, Walt Disney Studios and Twentieth Century Fox to set standards for high-quality Ultra HD content.
Confide, a startup whose app sends messages that reveal a single word at a time and then destroys the entire conversation, announces the business version of its app through an ad aimed at Sony execs.
Using information from alleged documents leaked by the Sony hackers, Google said the Motion Picture Association of America and Mississippi's attorney general conspired to limit free speech on the Internet.
"If I owned a studio, I'd make movie theaters pay me," says Dana Brunetti, producer of "House of Cards" and "The Social Network."
The world's biggest subscription video service gets first crack at streaming the "Crouching Tiger" sequel -- simultaneously debuting in selected IMAX theaters on August 28, 2015.
CEO Masayoshi Son is reportedly in talks to acquire the studio behind animated films "Shrek" and "How to Train Your Dragon."
If you're between 13 and 18, you're apparently more enamored of Smosh than Jennifer Lawrence.
The app lets you search for old movie and TV locations to see what the streetscape looked like at the time of filming and what it looks like now.
Compilation shows the magic from every Academy Award for Best Visual Effects in film since 1977.

text: 01 Sep 2013 11:30 Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has launched a dedicated in-flight child care assistance program for families, led by the introduction of a new Flying Nanny on board long haul flights. Identified by bright orange aprons, each Flying Nanny aims to provide a 'helping hand' to families and unaccompanied minors. They will also introduce children to the exciting collectable Etihad characters – Zoe the bee, Jamool the camel, Kundai the lion, and Boo the panda – who accompany them on their trip.During the past two months 300 Etihad Airways cabin crew members have completed enhanced training for the role. A further 60 will be trained in September and 500 Flying Nannies will be working across Etihad Airways flights by the end of 2013.The course includes in-depth training, from the world renowned Norland College, concentrating on child psychology and sociology, enabling the Flying Nannies to identify different types of behaviour and developmental stages that children go through and how to appreciate the perspective and needs of travelling families.In addition the course also covers many different creative ways the Flying Nanny can entertain and engage with children during flights. Aubrey Tiedt, Etihad Airways' Vice President Guest Services, said: "Flying with a young family can be a daunting task, even for the most experienced travellers, and the Flying Nanny role demonstrates our understanding of our guests' needs and our commitment to making the journey as relaxing and comfortable as possible."During the flight the Flying Nanny will utilise her specialist training, supporting the needs of families and unaccompanied minors, as well as supporting other cabin crew members when they interact with families.Ms Tiedt added: "The Flying Nanny will liaise with parents and use their experience and knowledge to make the travel experience easier. This includes helping serve children's meals early in the flight and offering activities and challenges to help entertain and occupy younger guests."Claire Burgess, Early Years Consultant, Norland College, said: "Norland College is delighted to be a key partner in developing and delivering the Flying Nanny program with Etihad Airways as both organisations share a mutual respect for children and families."Many of these activities derive from a special kit which contains straws, stickers, cardboard and other items which the Flying Nanny uses to teach simple arts and crafts such as creating special greeting cards for friends and family.The Flying Nanny will also frequently use service items such as paper cups which can be made into hats and the Japanese art of origami to fold paper into sculptures. All activities are designed so the Flying Nanny can leave the children to produce and complete on their own.A key on-board highlight is set to be the creation of sock puppets which uses stickers from the Flying Nanny kit as eyes and the socks from the guest's travel pack.In addition to the arts and crafts, the Flying Nannies can also teach children simple magic tricks which helps retain their focus and interest while seated.For older children, the Flying Nanny is equipped with simple quizzes and challenges to keep them occupied as well as taking them on tours of the galley during quieter moments of the flight.Towards the end of the flight the Flying Nanny will help parents by replenishing milk bottles, and offering items such as water, fruit and other snacks especially if the family is transiting to another flight.The Flying Nanny will also advise families that are transiting at Abu Dhabi about the various baby changing and child facilities at the airport, as well as informing them that there is a children's play area at Gate 32 in Terminal 3, and in the premium lounges.

Hi everyone, I just registered on this site, I think its great. I really need some help as my life is such a mess. I first went to AA meetings 14 years ago and stayed sober for 18 months before getting angry about something at one of the meetings and deciding I could do it on my own. Of course, that didn't work.
Since then I've moved countries with my family and although there is a great AA network where I am living now, I just can't STAY sober. I have got to 2 years twice, but the last 4 years I just keep relapsing after a few months. I really want to go back to the meetings here, but I feel they are so sick of me coming in and out! I feel so ashamed and such a failure. I emailed my old sponsor but she just ignored me, so I feel awkward about going back, but my drinking now is so bad, if I don't I will die. Last night I drank 3 bottles of wine.
I have a higher power and I keep praying that he will keep me sober, but then I find some stupid excuse and pick up again. My mad head is taking me over and I'm really scared.
How can I get out of this hell and stay sober for good?

AC Power Adapter
This precision balance can be connected to a computer using the RS232 port and the included WinCT software. This software can be used with Windows based computers to transmit data to and from your GF-K precision balance.
This precision balance has a water resistant housing with an IP (Ingress Protection) rating of 65. This means the GF-10K is protected from dust and splashed water from all directions. So, ya won't have to worry about getting this A&D balance wet...just wipe it off when you're finished.
You can program this precision balance to automatically turn on when the AC is plugged in and to turn off after a few minutes of inactivity.
This durable precision balance has a really cool dynamic weighing feature that will let ya get accurate weights of unstable items, this is especially great for weighing animals!
To make sure ya get your weights just right, this high capacity precision balance has a checkweighing feature that will let ya set your target weight. Once your target weight is set, the GF-10K will let ya know when you're over, under or just right.
This cumulative weighing feature will let ya get the weights of separate items, then you can see the total weight of all the items you just weighed. This is gonna come in real handy for weighing separate items and total weights for packaging and processing.
This feature will let ya compare the weights of your samples against a predetermined reference weight. This can be helpful in weight checking, compounding, formulating and more.
You bet it does! All ya need to do is weigh a sample amount of pieces, so the GF10K can know how much each piece weighs, then start counting. You'll be finished in no time.
This function will improve the accuracy of the unit weight by re-calculating the unit weight with each additional amount of pieces ya put on the scale. This is gonna make counting your parts and pieces super accurate and super easy.
This digital scale has a fancy VFD display with bright blue digits so your weight readings will be nice and clear. Benefits of the VFD compared to LCD are a wider range of viewing angles, brighter digits, better contrast and easy viewing from greater distances.
The A&D GF10K has an RS232 port built right in. This is important if you're wanting to send your weight readings and other data to an external source like a computer or printer.
The GF 10K has a durable stainless steel weighing platform to make cleanup a breeze. Unlike gold or silver, stainless steel doesn't scratch easily and keeps its shine without rusting or tarnishing.
The GF-10K is factory calibrated and ready to use. This industrial scale will rarely need calibrating, but if ya use it ALL of the time, or ya want to be sure you're getting the most accurate weight readings, ya might want to calibrate it from time to time. You'll just need to pick up a 5 kilogram calibration weight, (not included) to get the job done.
The tare button on the front of this digital scale can be pressed to "zero out" the weight on the scale. You can then add more weight, and the display will only show the weight of the items you're adding. This sure is useful when ya want to use an expansion scoop to weigh your things, or if ya want to get separate weights of multiple items.
This very handy feature will help you quickly and easily get your scale nice and level. A level scale is important for getting the most accurate weight readings.
This precision balance is covered with a 5 year warranty from A&D Weighing against defects in material and workmanship.
