BusinessWISE

Current events in Afghanistan make this week’s episode very timely, but it is not just conflict in foreign countries that threaten your survival, expansion, and prosperity.  There are few groups that do not carry their share of conflict, and, allowed to fester and to continue unhandled, they spell death and destruction.   Take the time to listen to this one.  It’s a tough subject, but you will be...

Some groups have more life in them than others, don’t they?  You can “feel” it walking through the door.  How do you increase it?  And how important is it to do so? We released this episode well over a year ago and it was a big hit then, but we are bringing it back so that you are prepared for Episode 33, Vol 2, which we will be releasing in a couple of days.

The subject of justice is so crucial to any group that a lack of it or its misapplication (injustice) is a principal reason for group (and cultural) failure.   You can attend all the marketing and sales seminars you want, but if you skip this one you are not going to achieve success.  The more you expand, the more you need it, and if you are not crazy about getting knifed in the back, give this on...

What could you accomplish if you just had the right staff?   If you had great personnel?  When you think about it, there is really no limit.  If you can master the trick, or let’s call it the “secret”, of having great personnel, as long as there is demand for your product or service out there and you know your organizing board, you can continually expand into it.  The limiting factor is always hav...

Your biggest loss of income is the income you never made.  Listen to this bonus episode, brought back from the archives, to discover how you are leaking “energy” like a rusty bucket, and how to handle it.

Today’s BusinessWISE episode is a tribute to my great friend, Dr. Greg Winteregg, who passed away suddenly 12 days ago.   Greg’s life and work was an inspiration to thousands, may this episode be an inspiration to you.  For any who knew him and wish to make a gesture in his honor, or for any who would like to contribute to his legacy, charitable donations to the Hubbard College of Administration I...

One of the most admired and sought-after qualities in a person is CONFIDENCE.   We admire it tremendously when it is genuine and sincere.  People will pay a small fortune to acquire more of it.  It comes up when they talk to groups, or attempt a sale, or decide to lead, or talk to a person of the opposite sex.  It’s great when you have it, but can you set out to acquire it? Yes, if you understand...

There is a fundamental quality, an X factor, that any executive, entrepreneur, leader, etc. MUST have to get anything done. It is vital and indispensable, but fortunately it is also something anyone can learn and improve once they understand it and its component parts.  Make sure you listen carefully to this one!

If you have been following BusinessWISE, you should know by now that inflow follows outflow, and to master the former you only need master the latter.  But there is an aspect to outflow you are possibly not aware of and not using as you should.  An aspect so powerful we call it “the secret weapon”.  Learn about it in this week’s episode.

Sometimes we use a word every day, not realizing that it is actually a technical term with a very specific concept and application. This particular term we are covering today is one of those, and a lack of its full understanding can make your life miserable.   On the other hand, knowing it is the portal to your dreams.

The backbone of the Hubbard management system is the Organizing (Org) Board, and too many get stuck on it.  Without an org board, well, an entrepreneur is not going to get very far with the rest of this brilliant system.  Expansion is going to stall, and the guy or gal in charge is likely to be exhausted and not exactly “living the dream”.   So, let’s simplify this.

You just started a business, or maybe you have an idea for a business.  Or you just got a promotion or a new job, or you found a person you want to get to know better and possibly start a lasting relationship.  You exist, alright, to yourself, but how about to the rest of the world?  What is your first step on the long road to power, in any aspect of your life?   You’re going to do the four steps...

There is an error that is common to almost ANY organization and is so destructive that Mr. Hubbard describes it as the only TREMENDOUS error an organization makes!   You might want to know what that error is, no?  Listen to this week’s episode to find out, and how to deal with it.

How about getting six tips from Mr. Hubbard on how to handle yourself as a leader, a manager, or even as a person.  These are the six that he describes as what he would like to add to all the tremendous body of knowledge that he had already created on administration, six tips on how HE would go about things. 

There is an intangible asset that is vital do your business, and it is called GOODWILL.   It may be intangible, but it is so valuable you can actually put a price tag on it, and it is intimately connected with another “intangible”: LIFE! If you understand the relationship between these things, prosperity is assured, and if you don’t…well, just listen to this episode!

Archimedes said if he had a long enough lever, he could move the world.  Well, maybe you aren’t trying to move the world, maybe you are, but for sure there are a few mountains around you wouldn’t mind moving, right? Stop doing it the hard way! Learn to use the lever that can probably accomplish anything!!

What do you need to do to get real and consistent production out of your team?  That means ALL your team, not just the one or two angels you were sent from heaven.   Is there a secret?  Yes, there is.  There is a barrier to production which Mr. Hubbard discovered ranks senior to any other barrier.  It is the PRIMARY BARRIER TO PRODUCTION, and it’s time you learned what it is and what you can do ab...

The last four episodes have been a series discussing the subject of Public Relations, and in the last three we have been focusing on its “dark side”, Black Propaganda.  This is the last episode where we are going to talk about it, but you may want to listen to it a few times because this one is going to make your guts churn a bit, I promise.

Last episode we taught you what BLACK PROPAGANDA is. This week we teach you the first four steps and HOW TO HANDLE IT!! If you are doing anything worthwhile in this world, you need to know how to do this. Sooner or later, you are going to get attacked. You probably already have, whether you realize it or not.  We are not trying to make you fearful, but there is no sense in being silly.  The world...

Considering how important this subject is to your survival and the expansion of your enterprise, we have given little attention to PUBLIC RELATIONS.  If you never thought of it as important before, I guarantee you will after listening to a description of how a black version of this technology can be used to destroy you!

Enter the world of Public Relations.  Our next few episodes are going to bring about a new and better understanding of one of the most important tools in your arsenal as an administrator, but one of the least understood.   Let’s start by defining our terms.  This episode will set you up for a brand-new episode coming out later this week, so don’t skip it!!

Occasionally topics for episodes are suggested to me by a listener.  This week’s episode stems from a simple suggestion, but the more I looked at it, the more I realized its extreme importance.  This may be your most important episode to date, as it presents something you need in order to master everything else.  

We talk about “spiraling out of control”.   We all know what that feels like, and nobody likes it.  But how about “spiraling into control”?  Could that be a thing?   Actually, yes.  The route to success is a spiral just as surely as the route to failure.  Listen to this episode to make sure you are spiraling in the right direction!

We all have dreams, don’t we?   Please tell me you are a dreamer, because those of you that dream and work to make them real are building a better world.  But wouldn’t it be helpful if you knew exactly HOW to make dreams come true?  You are about to learn.

Last week we detailed the source of the problem in implementation.  This week’s episode is Part 2, and here is where we cover the SOLUTION.   It is encompassed in one word.   See if you can figure it out what that word is before we let you in on one of the best-kept “secrets” of the Hubbard management system.
