I came across this on Pinterest entitled “50 Marketing Habits Every Business Should Have” and was shocked by the make work advice which would take so much time, effort, and money that it poses an insurmountable obstacle for any small business or human desiring to have a successful internet presence. Gone are the relatively simple days of have a great product or service, advertise, and make some money.
Here are the recommendations and the reality-
Write a blog and share helpful info weekly.
Write a guest blog.
The major reason blogs no longer work is that in writing on a weekly basis the average human runs out of helpful things to say and the blog stagnates or gets totally ignored.
Advertise on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, and Pinterest:
This in reality would cost a boatload of money since big money international and national companies and establishment media get priority placement on all four major social media websites and realistically small money operators are pushed down to a very low priority, effectively don’t exist, and is wasted advertising dollars.
Big business is already bombarding social media with almost daily e-mails and ads which are frankly annoying and a big pain in the butt. Do you want your small business to be as annoying as the big businesses who supposedly know what they are doing?
Use your social media to engage fans:
Send an e-mail newsletter:
Collect e-mail addresses:
Offer a discount or special offer:
Host a giveaway:
Ask customers for referrals:
Ask friends and family for referrals:
Ask customers for testimonials:
Offer a freebie to fans:
Thank your customers:
Ask customers for feedback:
Use videos to market your business:
Send personal cards to customers:
All of the above are huge time consumers unless you have a sophisticated software program which automatically performs these functions and such a program if it exists probably costs an arm and a leg. You can engage “fans” if you have a boatload of products and services to offer but if you are pushing a handful of items or deals then your customer base will get bored and annoyed at your constant emails and offers for the same stuff over and over again.
Create a referral network with other professionals.
Sponsor a cause or local event.
Get interviewed on a blog, magazine, or podcast.
Use SEO to drive traffic.
Network with other business owners.
Use Google adwords.
Network in Linkedin groups.
Host an online workshop, webinar, or training.
Submit articles to a large website.
Write a press release.
Network in Facebook groups.
Create your own Facebook group.
Create a Google + page.
Join Google+ communities to network.
Create an Instagram profile.
Offer an affiliate program.
Ask another business to promote your business.
Most importantly, every day: provide value.
The last hint basically says it all. Every day: provide value. Not only is this an impossible objective to meet but you will be howling in the internet wilderness with few customers paying attention to your inefficient attempts at communicating on a daily basis. If you do keep in touch with your customers on a daily basis then you will probably be more annoying than helpful with a boring repetitive mantra.
Not widely recognized is the problem that there are many fly by night businesses which open up on the internet and try to scam humans in some way. This is why established internet businesses, websites, and search engines are reluctant to promote you for fear that their customer base will complain. Search engine algorithms with a reputation to maintain will put you at a very low priority level unless you have been around for many years and have a wide internet presence.
The almost impossible task of developing a good reputation on the internet overnight is what will keep your startup business small and unknown for many years if not indefinitely. There is also the great probability that if your business idea, product, or service is very useful it will probably be stolen or copied and promoted by other websites, only better.
Conclusion:
Big money and sophisticated software algorithms with big data access and further refinements have an incredible advantage over a new money poor business startup and even big businesses don’t realize how offensive their deluge of emails and ads really are and make humans angry at their blatant aggressiveness.
Realistically can you really tell by the above advice how much time, effort, and money you will have to shell out to get each additional customer? What is the cost in time and money for getting one customer who may not even be a repeat customer? The answer is no one knows or can tell you with any degree of accuracy, especially for a new startup internet business.
In the traditional brick and mortar small business world it often takes a minimum of 5 years working at no profit at all for a business to survive in the long duration.
What are the financial specs on the internet? I don’t think anyone really knows and can give you any real dollar and time amounts. I Googled the question and no one has done any research to date which has been authoritatively published.
So you are out there on the internet all by yourself doing tens of things all in the hope of making a buck and not knowing how effective your efforts really are in the real internet world. It is a real crap shoot and the odds are overwhelmingly against you.
Is there such a thing as good and bad marketing habits on the internet? I doubt that anyone really knows for sure. If big business knows then I am sure that they are keeping it a big secret.

Dishonesty, untrustworthiness, and absence of respect are all problems arising out of an absence of integrity or the existence of immorality (lying, stealing, deception, and cheating) on the part of the leader or employee. If a human does not have integrity then you should minimize contact with them as much as possible. Trust or integrity is the bond which makes good relationships possible so if you don’t have the bond then the relationship if any will be dysfunctional.
Boredom and mediocrity often exist together and humans with either trait should be avoided as much as possible because they are stagnating and not making any progress towards selfimprovement and a better life.
Negative or pessimistic and toxic or severely flawed humans mean much trouble and they just create toxic environments to be living under so avoid them or get rid of them as much as possible.
Unhealthy food, drink, relationships, and habits should be excluded or avoided as much as possible, especially if you want improvement in yourself and others.
Undependable, incompetent, and unorganized humans should also be avoided or excluded as much as possible because they will introduce too much chaos in your life.
Angry humans and those filled with regrets should also be avoided or excluded as much as possible unless you want to live with confrontational aggressive drama humans and those who live too much in the past and don’t have useful plans for the future.
Remember that you can’t control humans who are out of control and there are many other things over which you have no control over. So learn to ignore, avoid, or exclude what you can’t control as much as possible.
Learn the basic fact that some humans and circumstances should simply not be tolerated and proceed courageously to avoid or exclude them from your business or life.

To be successful in business you basically need to be in almost total control of yourself and that means being emotionally intelligent or being in control of your emotions with an ability to communicate well with humans. Surrounding yourself with confident, competent, talented coworkers and workers and networking with successful humans is vital for business success in the long duration.
Not everyone in business wants to be a leader in management but if you want to manage then there are the important things which you must know about emotions, career, employees, coworkers, communications, and bosses. Geoffrey James gives a pretty comprehensive detailed list of what is important to know under the listed categories. Here is a link to his rather comprehensive article on the “secrets” to business success.

There are internal and external motivators. You are in charge of your internal motivations but it is also very important to have external human motivators who push you in the same basic direction that you want to go.
The best motivator is to surround yourself with competent talented humans who share in your vision of what your company should be. You can’t succeed alone no matter how confident you are or how much you believe in yourself so surrounding yourself with confident, competent, and talented humans is essential for long duration business success.
You must understand what your weaknesses and strengths are and hire personnel who complement your weaknesses and make for an overall strong company. The other approach is to minimize your weaknesses by personal effort but this is time consuming, there is no guarantee that you will succeed in strengthening your weaknesses, and in business time is of the essence so hiring someone with strength in your weak category is often the smartest quickest approach.
Perhaps the second most important motivator is an ability to remain optimistic through some failures which are inevitable in a growing business enterprise. Understanding that failure is an opportunity to learn what not to do is very important in any enterprise. If your vision is clear and functional then most failures will not put your company on the verge of bankruptcy.
Motivating yourself to overcome the fear of failure or pushing yourself into decisively acting in the face of some uncertainty is vital to business success. Remaining confident and decisive in the face of adversity and beyond is essential in any growing business. Believing in yourself and your vision is important to maintain, especially at times when it seems almost everything is conspiring against your success.
If you have emotional intelligence then that is very important but to stay motivated you need good role models to learn from. Read about successful entrepreneurs and imitate their good points and network with other successful entrepreneurs who can give you some important vital advice on what to do and who to further associate with. Business ultimately is a human enterprise and you need relevant input from other successful business humans.
Consuming healthy food and drink, getting enough exercise, and enough sleep is vital to staying in peak optimistic performance mode.
Geoffrey James gives an extensive list of how to stay motivated in a business in this link.

Hiding things from your employees leads to uncertainty or suspicion which is an erosion of trust and makes them less respectful. There may be a time to hide the fact that there will be massive staff reductions since revealing this too far ahead of time may lead to some very qualified workers leaving for a new job. Other than this very unusual situation it is never good to hide things from your employees.
Being empathetic is a major key of emotional intelligence. If you understand the emotional state of an employee and can address their problem appropriately they will respect you more even if you convey news to them which may not be that pleasant. If you show them that you heard them out and acted accordingly with proper empathy you will not break the bond of trust which should exist and there will be greater acceptance of a circumstance.
The new generation due to technology is rather poor in interpersonal social skills, have bad emotional intelligence, and have an inability to handle interpersonal challenges well. Get them to interact personally with peer groups or communities and network with humans in person as much as possible so that they benefit from older more socially experienced humans.
Face the truth no matter how uncomfortable it may seem to you. It can be the truth about yourself, your workers, your customers, or your product deficiencies. If your product is substandard and your workers are not performing well then try to address the problems and move forward courageously trying to fix things.
Know your own weaknesses and those of your workers. Find or hire workers who will strengthen your deficiencies and those of your workers so that the business moves forward with strengths in all the necessary areas of expertise.
Don’t be emotionally aloof and ignore your worker’s emotional needs. Emotionally intelligent leaders interact with their workers in an empathetic way and express an interest in their personal feelings and interests outside of work. The more that you know about your workers and the more they know about you the more they will admire and respect you and empathize back thus forming a more positive bond of trust with you. It will no longer be an “us” and “them” mentality which is not a cohesive psychological force in the workplace.
You are ultimately responsible for the quality of the work and the esprit de corps of your business. That means hiring competent workers, getting rid of disruptive or incompetent workers, and motivating workers to do their best on the job.
In today’s dynamic and uncertain business environment which is constantly changing the primary objectives or vision of the company should not get lost and should be repeated. Even though the personnel and structure may have to be altered or changed from time to time the primary focus or goals of the company should not change radically. If new software and new products results in customer dissatisfaction then the lines of communication should be open so that appropriate changes can be made in a timely fashion.
The most successful leaders are those who surround themselves with smarter workers than the leader himself. If innovation is a necessity then these smart humans can use their exceptional skills to try new approaches which will keep the company competitive and at the forefront of current practices. The insecure micromanager surrounds himself with workers just like him with limited skill sets which prevent them from contributing much to innovation.
Mentor potential new leaders during relatively long waiting durations for mundane tasks. Using your relatively long periods of inactive free time to mentor young workers is time well spent. Mentor your current workers with leadership potential and hire some workers who will become future leaders. Shaping and molding future company leaders is vital to the overall success of a company in the long duration.
Don’t dwell in the past telling new team workers how great your old team was. They will begin to wonder why you chose to leave if it was such a great experience. Motivate new team workers to work towards future goals without emphasizing your past successes too much.
Have a clear vision of the future, communicate it to your workers, and motivate them to work towards or achieve that vision with your guidance. Knowing WHAT workers are working for in unison is a great motivator.
Competent leaders with good character, emotional intelligence, and integrity are knowledgeable, trusted, admired, and respected and don’t have to force compliance to the rules with threats, intimidation, humiliation, and demands or don’t have to micromanage the workforce to get things done properly.
Confident leaders lead through values, vision, and vulnerability and arrogant leaders often lead with fear, threats, blame, and ego. Emotional intelligence evolves gradually with time based primarily on selfawareness and knowing whether you are motivating workers primarily with positive approaches or resorting to too many negative tyrannical or bossy techniques.
Look like a leader with businesslike sharp posture, clothing, and looks and not an overly casual or disheveled laid back posture and looks.
Practicing curiosity which is basically asking relevant questions and getting truthful answers stimulates learning, collaboration, and potential innovation which is becoming more vital in a rapidly changing business environment. Not being curious favors a judgmental, blaming, telling, and shaming approach to leadership which frustrates workers, creates conflict, and impedes collaboration, innovation, and understanding.

Unless you are a celebrity or the object of some human’s jealousy you will find that most humans don’t really care that much whether you got a new car or promotion. You really shouldn’t let other’s opinions of you guide your behavior, especially if they are lavishing attention on you hoping to get some benefit out of you. We all like to be praised by others but what is most important is how we feel about our situation in life personally and how competent we are in what we are doing.
Family, close friends, and humans in general who really care about you are far more interested in your personality and the quality of the human interaction rather than your accomplishments and possessions.
Arranging your life primarily in the pursuit of money will not make you happy in the long duration because how successfully you spend your time, energy, and money on other humans will really determine your state of happiness in the long duration. Paying attention to the quality of your life experiences and not just a quantity of money is the true source of happiness without any regrets in old age for being too myopically focused on wealth and not having lived a full balanced life.
Avoid debt as much as possible because debt incurred by profligate spending and investing in a job poor largely useless education in young adulthood will become a terrible financial burden for the rest of your adult life. Of course you can declare bankruptcy and live much of your life with a debit card existence.
Learn how to be more persuasive and learn how to acquire emotional intelligence which will be a great advantage when trying to influence other humans. You will learn how to communicate and change other human minds, instill confidence in others, and sooth their fears. This means being a powerful communicator and the potential to become a human leader in any profession if you also have a good memory for names.
Have integrity, be dependable and competent which means being moral and responsible for your own actions and consequences while treating others with as much respect as they deserve and helping those in need where appropriate. Guard your integrity jealously because trust and respect from others is impossible without it.
Prepare for the unexpected or have a plan B in mind if chaos breaks out. An emergency financial savings is the safety net when loss of a job, loss of spouse, or business failure surfaces to cause chaotic turmoil.
In business success means outperforming or being better than your competitors. If you are at the top then competing with yourself or becoming better at what you are doing is the key to remaining at the top.
Selfawareness or knowing yourself and realizing that others view you the same way is a big advantage when interacting and working with others.
Personal biases or personal opinions and beliefs affect the way that you view the world so it is important to understand that any decision which you make will be dependent on them to a large extent. When confronted with failure it is time to reflect and possibly modify or change those opinions and beliefs to ones that will mean success in future attempts at goal achievement.
Accept that the past can’t be changed. Live in the present courageously making plans for a better future yet to come.
Humans and ideas much different than your own are the source for creativity and possible enrichment of your life. You will learn more and potentially grow faster in your understanding of possibilities yet to be achieved.
Travel more or surf the internet visiting other places and cultures. New perspectives on business and life will refresh you and reveal new possibilities to take advantage of.
The truly successful have a passion for what they are doing and do it well so if you haven’t found anything to be passionate about then keep looking or take risks to find out what that might be.
An impulsive reaction influenced by anger or panic can ruin a lifetime of work in a relatively short duration so don’t let your emotions get the best of you when making important decisions.
Holding grudges consumes much time and energy holding on to hatred so try to forgive a stranger or family member if they have not been immoral.
Recognize that there is much that you don’t know. If you find someone more knowledgeable then try to delegate the relevant task. If you are confronted with a discussion where you lack sufficient knowledge then resist the urge to jump in and contribute and being foolish in the process.
If you are competent and believe in yourself the confidence will encourage others to believe what you say.
Everyone has a fear of failing but the successful ones overcome the fearful anxiety and move forward with action and don’t let fear restrain them that often.
It is good to have good role models or heroes whom you are trying to imitate or learn from. Not all the knowledge that you acquire will be useful in a rapidly changing technological era. Some new useful creativity will be your responsibility to discover and apply to new ever changing circumstances.
Avoiding crippling addictive bad habits like gambling, alcohol, drugs, promiscuity, pornography, and impulsive shopping will optimize your ability to function most effectively and efficiently at work and home.
Take care of your health by eating organic and getting enough exercise and sleep. Nothing will short circuit a successful career faster than failing health in your vital years.
Nothing is perfectly predictable and the good guys don’t always win in the real world. This sometimes means being content or grateful for what you have so far rather than what you hope to have which doesn’t seem to be materializing for you.
Your happy optimistic attitude starts out as a conscious desire which soon becomes a good habit or the happy optimistic attitude unrelentingly repeats itself in your life as you live it.
You need to be honest with yourself and know your weaknesses as well as your strengths. Knowing your weaknesses you can either try to strengthen them with new knowledge and skills or you can hire humans who are not weak in your area to work for you if it is a business.
An opportunity may arise suddenly and it may seem like unexpected luck. Talent, the right useful education, and hard work is essential which qualifies you for an opportunity when it comes along even though sometimes there may be a desire to give up prematurely because no breaks or good fortune seem to be coming your way.
When you become very successful try to give back by supporting truly worthwhile causes such as wilderness conservation and restoration, sustainable research, and basic medical and biological research. You will be promoting the possibility of a better life for future generations.

A deal is almost consummated and out of the blue the customer pretends to have cold feet, makes an unreasonable request, requests a last minute discount, and tries to delay finalization of the deal. These could be considered to be unfair tricks trying to squeeze out an even better deal at the last moment.
Some pretend that they are uncertain that it is still not the right time or right cost. This can be countered or reinforced with an argument that the return on investment or ROI makes timely cost effective sense to go ahead with the deal right away and at the estimated cost.
An unreasonable request should be answered with “That’s not going to happen.” followed up with the question “I guess you are not really interested in buying. Is that the case?”
Suggesting a last minute discount should be answered by stating that you don’t play games like your competitors do and your first offer is the best that can be expected.
Trying to delay a deal by a month or so can be combated by stating that the price will probably go up in a month’s time so it is advisable to act promptly.
***Last minute objections are basically countered with an honest statement that this is a business deal and not an auction with the deal going to the lowest bidder. We don’t play bidding games and try our best to give a customer the best deal for the money in a timely way and based on firm business principles considering a good return on investment or ROI.

The basic sources for unhappiness are a difficult job, bad management, bad coworkers, and bad personal work and coping skills. Here in more detail I outline things which can cause you to be unhappy.
Comparing yourself to others.
If you compare yourself to coworkers and find out that they are smarter than you, get more work done, have a better relationship with the boss, have a happier family life, do more exciting or interesting things away from work, have a new car or bigger house, and travel a lot then you might begin to feel inadequate and the comparison can begin to become a source of dissatisfaction and unhappiness for you.
If you try to imitate them then you may get into debt up to your neck and then you will really have a reason to be unhappy. Comparisons can be a source for happiness and pride in oneself if you are better than your coworkers but if not then comparisons are very frustrating and can cause much unhappiness.
Obsessing over things which you can’t control.
If you worry too much about a failing company because of outdated practices or bad management or worry too much about bad coworkers making your life miserable then you will be unhappy. You can’t control company policy nor bad workers so don’t obsess about it and make your life unhappy. Instead start preparing or looking for a better job elsewhere.
Overcommiting yourself or your team.
Making promises above and beyond the call of duty which you or your team can’t fulfill will often result in failure and disappointment which will definitely be a source of unhappiness.
Making excuses for mistakes and failure.
You may blame a mistake or failure on insufficient time, too hard a task, bad advice or interference from coworkers, and problems at home and not try to avoid making the mistake or failing again a second time. Trying to avoid responsibility for your own failed actions will be a source of ongoing unhappiness.
Hating others.
A boss or coworker may greatly offend you with insults, put downs, name calling, humiliation, and ridicule once in a while. If you can change this then take action and if not it is best to try and forgive and forget instead of wallowing in hatred wasting time, energy, and health while feeling unhappy.
Wallowing in past mistakes and wrongs.
Spending too much time thinking about past mistakes and wrongs inflicted on you will make you unhappy. Instead try to learn from your mistakes and wrongs inflicted on you and move forward with courageous optimism trying to avoid a repetition of a bad past.
Trying to “win” every argument.
Trying to win every argument is unrealistically trying to show that you are never wrong. It is best not to argue in the first place which is a primitive way of forcing your opinion on someone. Give in sometimes and concentrate on what is to be done next rather than doggedly standing your ground and both feeling unhappy about the circumstance.
Wasting precious time and energy on malice and gossip.
Sometimes unkind and untrue rumors are spread about a human. Ask yourself how you would feel if the same gossip was spread about you. More importantly find out if the doubtful rumor is true before you spread it further because your honest reputation will suffer and it will be a source of future unhappiness if it is not true.
Worrying what others think of you.
If you have integrity then there is no reason why you should worry if others think less of you and feel unhappy about it. You can’t change their thoughts and frankly it is not your business to read other human minds in the first place.
Blaming others or your job for your unhappiness.
If you feel you have a bad job and/or bad coworkers who are making you unhappy then make the best of it and start preparing for or looking for a better job. Ultimately you are making yourself unhappy because you should be in charge of your emotions. Dissatisfaction with a working environment need not make you unhappy if you don’t let it.
A messy work area.
A messy work area means less efficient work ability causing wasted time looking for misplaced paperwork and objects which can be a source for some unhappiness.
Not taking time to daydream, relax, exercise in place, snack, or meditate on the job.
Nothing is more stressful on the mind and body with possible premature burnout than working feverishly without taking any breaks. The bad emotional and physical effects of overworking can make you very unhappy.
Not getting enough revitalizing sleep.
If you don’t get enough sleep at night your tiredness will adversely affect your work performance the next day and can cause much unhappiness with more mistakes and failure than usual.
Procrastination or wasting time.
Procrastination may mean not meeting a deadline or making mistakes and failing trying to rush a task in the last few hours or minutes. Bad work results can mean much unhappiness and being labeled as being lazy.
Not setting priorities.
Some tasks are more important than others and should be done first. Not properly prioritizing tasks means less efficient working resulting in bad performance and much complaining from management which will make you unhappy.
Being rude, arrogant, mean, deceitful, and disrespectful.
These are just some of the many personality flaws which you may have which will destroy good relationships with coworkers and may eventually get you fired by management causing great unhappiness either way.

Love of a franchise idea is not enough.
You may love the idea of indoor potted plants but think of how many humans in your town would love the idea and be willing to pay much money to get some which need periodic responsible care with watering, fertilizing, and proper lighting to survive. Buy or start a franchise with a proven track record of success as a viable business.
Never settle for low profit margins.
Double digit profitability returns are desirable but don’t go to the other extreme and expect 30% or greater profit margins.
Try to appeal to the affluent middle class.
The relatively poor patronize severely discounted products and services and you don’t want a franchise sensitive to economic downturns. Don’t try to compete with Amazon, Walmart, or fast food franchises who have the advantage of buying wholesale.
Your franchise should have growth potential both internally and region wise.
Your franchise should have relevance to more than just your immediate territory and be able to expand nationally and even internationally and an ability to expand or grow internally with new periodic offerings.
Owning your own commercial property is ideal.
Leasing can become expensive if it is not a very small property and can severely affect your profitability. Own your own commercial property if possible but don’t lose sight of the importance of the location of it.
Provide a unique experience for your customers.
If the experience is not unique and memorable it is just a commodity which will not be greatly prized by your customers and you will have plenty of local competitors.
An effective internet presence is mandatory.
TV and mail advertisements for small businesses are a thing of the past and an effective internet presence is vital so you will have to find a knowledgeable software expert to set up your website so it can be easily found by your customers and potential customers.
Your franchise will be a small business so be aware of these 11 basic drawbacks which have to be overcome.

The essence of great leadership is an ability to set relevant goals, have excellent communication skills, and to be able to motivate or inspire workers to do their best with what they have. That being said here are 14 characteristics of a great leader:
They keep good communications going by encouraging workers to speak to them, asking questions, noting complaints, and creating a safe, secure, approachable atmosphere where workers are not afraid to speak up when they feel it is necessary.
They communicate expectations or set realistic challenges or goals for workers to follow and place the responsibility of performing the details on workers and make them accountable for their work.
They prioritize goals based on an estimate of their urgency, potential impact on profitability of the company if it is a business, and cost of personnel and resources needed to achieve the desired goals.
They estimate the approximate time it will take to achieve the goals and when members of the staff will start on them.
They have an ongoing thirst for new relevant knowledge, do research, ask relevant questions, and seek counsel from others as needed.
They know how to confidently make relatively quick impulsive decisions based on years of experience and are seldom confronted with lengthy periods of doubt and uncertainty.
They evaluate or assess worker performance and give appropriate privileges and rewards or give credit where credit is due.
They are trustworthy and provide accurate, continuous, motivating, and supportive feedback to workers as they perform their tasks but don’t micro manage them.
They are good at assigning appropriately talented individuals to relevant tasks or know which workers will do a better job at given tasks and allocate and deploy accordingly.
They don’t procrastinate and are good at analyzing problems and assigning appropriate resources and personnel to solve them.
They are competent, energetic, likable, respected, and strong willed with an ability to motivate and inspire workers despite some inevitable failures along the way.
They openly share their knowledge and teach appropriately even mentoring some with leadership potential.
They network with leaders in similar positions and try to form relationships with humans who may not only be able to help them but also help some of their workers in the present and future.
They know that the strategic business plan should always be a satisfied repeat customer which is the only ultimate strategic consideration. The means to that end is making the company more competitive with more and better information, goods, or services and a more efficient organizational structure.
They genuinely enjoy their leadership responsibilities and the work that that entails.

Some things are nonnegotiable:
First of all it is important to realize that some things are just not negotiable and if you must or want to impose your will then force or withdrawal of a privilege is the only possible solution although often a temporary one.
Try to compromise or negotiate with a terrorist or a religious fanatic who thinks your requests are those of the devil incarnate and you will fail miserably. Fanatical dogmatic beliefs are frankly nonnegotiable and you are delusional if you think that communication will lead to any changes in those beliefs unless you are in a superior military and monetary situation and can threaten or scare someone into submission with the fear of death or financial bankruptcy.
You rarely know ahead of time but sometimes there are nonnegotiable points or demands which the human will not change under any circumstances. You may prepare to give in to the nonnegotiable demand but get a concession in return or a promise to do something which you need or want and the human can provide you with. This too is a win win situation because you are still both getting something which you need or want.
I don’t intend to give pointers on international negotiations but the principles involved in individual negotiations or compromise also apply to some extent in international ones too.
Negotiations or compromises are statistical probabilities:
Another basic truth is that negotiations are a scientific statistical probability and not an absolute certainty. You can increase the probability of a successful negotiation but you can’t always guarantee it. You may use every trick, tip, or negotiation principle and still fail at reaching a compromise.
It greatly helps to have integrity, respect, and expertise:
One of the most important negotiation principles is being liked and/or respected by the humans with whom you are trying to negotiate. Military, economic, and moral strength are respected by national leaders but integrity and expertise are respected and sometimes even admired by common humans.
Integrity is something which should not be compromised and if you are asked to sacrifice your morality for some short duration goal then your reputation will be affected adversely. Lie, steal, commit adultery, or murder someone and you have lost your integrity as well as your good social reputation.
Exclude intense and not so intense emotions as much as possible:
Emotional outbursts or communicating with much emotion can doom a negotiation because any strong indication of anger or arrogance will cause impulsive defensive actions or basically saying no to everything. Stay as cool, calm, and collected as possible in total discussion mode. Also don’t come in with a strong emotional attitude of arrogance or superiority with cockiness, overconfidence, bluster, offensive personal attacks such as insults, put downs, name calling, humiliation, and ridicule. No deal will be the result.
Know your adversary as much as possible:
This means finding out all that you can about your adversary before the negotiation. What they believe, what they think, what they do and who their associates or friends are will give you an idea whether they are negotiating from weakness or from strength. If you don’t know all the vital details ahead of time then the negotiation itself is a time to ask smart questions which will reveal important beliefs, opinions, and relationships.
Use time to your advantage:
Sometimes you can yield to or refuse a demand for a day, week, month, or years after which you either agree to renegotiate or switch to getting your demand for another duration. Time has an interesting way of changing minds because sometimes during duration ongoing circumstances almost force one to compromise.
Decrease and/or increase the frequency and/or length of a behavior or activity:
Sometimes a family compromise is merely decreasing the frequency and/or length of a behavior or doing it less often and not so long. Both spouses may feel that one is spending too much time on a behavior or activity which is causing family problems or personal dissatisfaction. The compromise is to promise to exchange behavior reductions and to shop less or spend less time on sports.
Spending more time on a behavior or activity may also be a compromise. One spouse may promise to spend more time interacting with offspring and the other may promise to spend more time researching recipes for tasty new home meals.
The third form of compromise is one spouse promising to increase an activity or behavior and the other promising to decrease an activity or behavior.
Stop or promise to never do that behavior or activity again is another possibility in a compromise.
A good behavior or activity can be increased or decreased in frequency and duration during a compromise but a bad behavior or activity should only be decreased in frequency and duration in a compromise. Immoral behavior or activity should be stopped.
Using the herd instinct or desire to belong to a group:
Sometimes compromise is more successful if you can point to many humans who are doing what you need or want to be done by a human. Peer or group pressure is sometimes a disadvantage in parental negotiations but if peers or groups are doing something right or it is something that you approve of then you can try to use peer or group pressure in a negotiation.
Stay focused on your goal(s):
Some aggressive negotiators, especially high pressure saleshumans, will try to intimidate, ignore, or cleverly change the subject to get you to say yes so try not to lose your focus on the goal(s) which you actually need or want and not those which you don’t want or need.
During a negotiation I had to repeat myself four times or ask one car salesman what was my yearly interest on a car loan based on a $3000 down payment. He ignored me or changed the subject four times before he finally came up with a printout in writing.

Statistics is a statement about the possible correlation between two facts and not a statement of causation or that one fact absolutely causes another. The relationship between two facts may vary in degree based on changing circumstances and the correlation may also be a function of time so that one fact may only significantly affect another many years after its impact.
The correlation between debt and economic growth intuitively and statistically seems to be valid. The more a nation is burdened by debt the less real growth it is capable of.
However, there are many other variables which affect growth such as an increase in the efficiency of infrastructure which promotes growth in the long duration.
Investment in useful technological education skills can also promote eventual greater productivity and economic growth in the long duration.
Decrease in taxes frees up more money to be invested in the economy more efficiently in the long duration because automatic decreases can increase the national debt which does not stimulate growth.
Laws which handicap the growth of small businesses which increase the net income of workers and expand GDP reverse economic growth. These same laws which promote the growth of big business reduces employment of workers thus decreasing net income and resulting in a lower GDP.
A growth in the size of government also decreases a growth in the GDP because government workers are not as productive as private business workers and make the economic growth pie smaller since it is a parasite on the economy.
Business cycles also affect economic growth and during times of recession or depression growth is either slowed down considerably or stopped or it is even reversed in a depression.
An increase in the rate of natural resource usage also increases GDP growth since more goods are produced and sold.
Cheaper energy also stimulates economic growth because more goods are produced more cheaply increasing the net amount of goods in circulation.
Free trade can decrease economic growth because of worldwide competition which causes many workers to go on unemployment or welfare and add to the burden of national debt.
Summarizing the 10 most important intuitive causes of national economic growth they are- laws which promote small businesses, less debt, decrease in government size, decrease in taxes, increase in the use of natural resources, cheaper energy, more efficient infrastructure, more useful technological education, business cycle high, and Fed and bank money investment in the economy from a lending high in the business cycle which unfortunately mostly causes inflation if it is not an investment in small businesses.
No amount of statistical data will verify the correlation of all these 10 variables to economic growth because these variables change and depend on the given point in time that you are talking about which is impossible to correlate accurately or statistically. Statistics just give you rather vague ballpark approximations and they are just a little better than smart intuitive thinking in economics which is still largely intuitive art and not a science which it will never be because there are too many impacting variables.
***Realistically it is debatable whether economic growth is desirable in a finite planet with finite natural resources, especially wilderness, and an ever increasing human population which is threatening the very survival of this precious endangered planet. The real emphasis should be on no inflation very efficient sustainable living and not trying to crazily try and grow indefinitely.
The true goal of all nations should be to function more efficiently with more sustainable living, no inflation or a constant value in money, balancing the budget, and conserving and even expanding wilderness throughout the world.

Scourge: v. to cause great trouble and/or suffering
Scourgen: n. causing great trouble and/or suffering
Medieval plagues scourged cities and towns causing much trouble and suffering including death. Today fatal diseases causing massive death are fewer in number although perhaps cancer can be considered to still be a social scourgen.
Unemployment after a massive recession scourges many individuals and less noticeable are the many unjust laws which scourge small businesses in the United States and favor big business.
Lying can be considered to be a social scourgen because it breaks down trust between individuals, and between individuals and leaders, politicians, and deceptive businesses and causes much human trouble and suffering.

Essentially after a qualified and competent worker is hired a boss’ job is to motivate and support or help the worker to do the job well and with enthusiasm.
BOSSES MOTIVATE WITH THE FOLLOWING TECHNIQUES:
They encourage when reluctance or fear of not being able to do the task is felt,
they maintain an atmosphere of trust so that no worker is overly fearful or dissatisfied with the emotional working environment and feels free to communicate with the boss and say anything that they may feel is relevant,
they are decisive and confident thus giving the worker the courage to do even when the task seems hard and difficult,
they accept occasional worker failure, don’t lose their optimism, and don’t use insults, put downs, name calling, and ridicule to belittle the worker,
they clearly communicate the rules and goals of the company giving confidence, clear guidance and understanding, and a sense of purpose to the worker,
they contribute to the work at hand by participating and working along with the workers at least once in a while to maintain an esprit de corps and don’t just isolate themselves in the office all day,
they are effective listeners and make their workers feel important and respected when they communicate,
the best bosses also have a sense of humor and can tell entertaining stories to perk up workers,
they are thankful or show gratitude so that workers feel that their efforts are appreciated,
they are inspirational and optimistic and give earned praise appropriately thus inspiring workers,
they have an ability to energize their workers when the going gets tough or tedious.
they know how to discipline good workers who are starting to goof off or are no longer doing a good job. This can be done with a threatened firing or pointing out role model workers who are doing the job well or better and thus challenging the wayward worker to do better or get back in shape.
SUPPORT OR HELP IS GIVEN WITH THE FOLLOWING TECHNIQUES:
They acknowledge work well done or give credit where credit is due,
they empower or give the tools and direction necessary to do the job and are good coaches,
they are results oriented and are not out to win a popularity contest if it means a job not well done,
they strengthen the workforce by eliminating bad workers who destroy the incentive to do well and function at optimal efficiency.

Colleague: n. a human one works with who is usually of the same rank and especially in a profession and/or business
A fellow working lawyer, doctor, or educator can be considered to be a colleague because of the obvious similarity. In a business a cashier and a deli worker can also be considered colleagues because they basically have the same rank or status within the business organization and work towards a common goal of customer satisfaction and company profit.

Bankruptcy: n. a human and/or business which is unable to pay back existing debt in a timely way and being unable to get additional credit
Personal and small business bankruptcies are rather terminal and final but big business has bankruptcies which reorganize the business legally and some historical debt is forgiven so that the business can continue to function with a smaller size or footprint.
National bankruptcy is more serious and can result in worldwide depression if a major country suchas the US collapses financially and becomes insolvent.

Cheap: adj. a relatively small price for ingus under competitive market conditions
Ingus: n. information and/or goods and/or services
Cheap ingus is bought because the poor can’t afford much else. Cheap prices are very tempting even for the middle class but they are frequently disappointed because the food is not very tasty and not very healthy, the ingus is usually not durable, is not qualitative, and frequently brings disappointment in a relatively short duration.
Slightly more expensive organic food is the answer to cheapness and quality ingus at a reasonable cost determined by word of mouth advertising or determined by reputable independent laboratories or testing agencies is also the best answer to combat inferior cheap ingus.

Collection: n. gathering subsets and considering samer subsets a set
A collection can be random things or a potpourri of miscellaneous items but most collections are of a unique set such as stamps, coins, wine, beer, books, instruments, tools, cars, boats, etc.
Antique collectors specialize in outdated, obsolete, and relatively useless subsets and the only reason that they have value is due to their rarity. It is also a fact of life that the rarer and pricier the antique the greater is the incentive to counterfeit it and make a fraudulent profit by selling the fake.

Collusion: n. willfully stealing using a secret agreement between two or more humans
There can be collusion between two burglars who are partners in burglary but the most serious kind of collusion is between corporations and organized crime. Corporate collusion can result in fixed high market prices for information and/or goods and/or services or ingus and this form of crime called price fixing is something the powerless customer can do very little about, especially if it is a vital product needed for survival.
Big international banks can collude and set artificially high interest rates on financial loans and manipulate the stock market and other financial assets including commodities. Big money corrupts and there is great temptation to make big profits by monetary manipulations of financial products and services.
There is only one weapon to fight big money collusion and that is setting up an independent watchdog foundation which protects watchdogs financially who reveal corporate corruption so that they don’t live impoverished lives after revealing the corruption to the general public either independently or through the corporate controlled media.

Commingle: to mix the money of two or more independent financial units frequently illegally
