#193: The most useful lesson they won't teach in business school
Jim was recently asked to record a training session on the topic of the power of building relationships for business success. In this training he shares the timeless truths that have served the most successful leaders and business builders of all time. Don't make the mistake of thinking "building relationships" is simply a matter of being kind to strangers and making a few friends along the way (those are good things of course, but there's far more to be learned!) Being intentional, proactive and creative in your relational efforts is vital and your business will flourish if you do it right. This training session gives specifics and plenty of examples.

#185: Start RIGHT NOW. Stop studying about business and grow one!
One of the flaws inherent in getting a business education is that we tend to think that the "education" part comes first and then (and only then) are we ready to "launch". That's just not how the world works any longer. Victory goes to those who do it afraid. The winners are those who jump in and learn as they go! Business is about relationships and service - start doing both right now TODAY!
