Are you able to say "no" when it's important to your own success? Say, you have your hour, your day, your week or whatever time planned out. You are on a quest to accomplish more and manage your time better than ever before. You have even... Business James Brausch Tue, 14 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=101042&ca=Business I believe that working on sound business fundamentals will always out produce the latest online fad. Fundamentals of business are timeless. They have worked in the past, they work today and will work into the future. So what do I mean by business fundamentals? In the online context I mean looking to... Business Management James Brausch Mon, 13 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=100735&ca=Business+Management No this is not your vocabulary lesson for the day! I realize, and am a firm believer, that it takes all kinds of people to make the world go around. Today, I want to talk about three types of people in the world. That is not to say that there is no in between. I am also not trying to say that a pers... Leadership James Brausch Sun, 12 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=100693&ca=Leadership I am often asked if I engage in the practice of goal setting. I usually answer that I don’t. I have tried that in the past and it didn’t work for me. It recently became clear to me that I do set goals, but there is a difference between what most who teach “goal setting” tell you to do and what I hav... Marketing James Brausch Thu, 09 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=99699&ca=Marketing When I started online, I was a very avid tester of everything... including what I now consider goofy things. Because of that, I know all kinds of goofy things… and a few useful things. I happen to know that a link that says “Don’t Click” will get more clicks than a link that says “Click Here”. That... Leadership James Brausch Thu, 09 Nov 2006 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=99713&ca=Leadership Just how can we “jump” our brains into gear to start thinking when we really need to? The entire concept is frustrating to many. We’re all familiar with words like “writer’s cramp” and “brain lock” when your brain won’t do what you want it to do. How do we get past those times when we need the creat... Marketing James Brausch Tue, 10 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=91480&ca=Marketing I never gather requirements for a new product, but I always gather requirements by asking for feedback for an existing product that I am about to update. I create new products without requirements as a baseline. Why? Because giving requirements is free. The scope simply increases exponentially with... Marketing James Brausch Tue, 10 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=91484&ca=Marketing I’m a big proponent of statistical analysis. You also know that I believe in “taking action”. The combination of taking action and using good data to guide decisions are the two most important keys to success… in anything you do in life. It's that simple. Do you employ those keys to success? My obse... Self Help James Brausch Sun, 08 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=91004&ca=Self+Help Since the beginning of my blog, I have tried to let my readers into my private life a little at a time, without giving too much away (I really don’t want psychos showing up at my door). For instance, through the blog, you have learned, among other things, that I am a recovering drug addict, that I w... Marketing James Brausch Mon, 25 Sep 2006 00:00:00 -0700 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=87441&ca=Marketing If you want to get results, you need to take action... calculated, measured, studied steps towards your goal of freedom. Small steps that will or will not get you the desired results. Yes, I did say, will or will NOT get you the desired results. Some action will not lead in the direction of your goa...
