Oprah Winfrey's Compassionate Message of Empowerment Translates to Big Bucks!
Oprah Winfrey, has to be one of the most admired Black
entrepreneurs of all time (she is at least in my book). From
humble beginnings she has grown to become the second Black woman
to obtain billionaire status (The first being Sheila Crump

1-2-3 Success! Three Steps to Building Your Brand and Expanding Your
Career Success
Gone are the days where your value as an employee or vendor was
linked to your loyalty and seniority. Today, companies are in a
constant state of reorganization in response to the rapidly changing
demands of the market. This modifies the way you behave as employees
or vendors. On a constant basis, you are working with different
project teams, managers, and employees. In a sense, you are
functioning like your own personal corporation. And that means that
you have the same need to differentiate yourself and build demand
for your services among your target markets.
How Consistent is Your Brand?

depth into why it is critical to successful branding.
Small Business Branding
Business is becoming more and more competitive. Small Business is
the fastest growing segment of business in most parts of the world.
And thanks to the internet, your competitors are no longer just the
businesses down the street. They are the businesses in the next
town, the next country and even on the next continent. So, as the
leader of a small business, how do you succeed in a dynamic world of
increasing complexity with a much larger set of competitors? The
answer seems too easy to be true:
Stand Out from the Crowd and Increase Sales
Since there are over 16.6 million Internet Business Sites in
cyberspace how do you stand out from the crowd? One way is to
establish an USP. What is an USP you ask? USP stands for unique
selling proposition or unique selling point. The reason you need
an USP is to establish your business brand and identity so,
people remember your web site and want to do business with you.
By establishing a USP you can communicate why people should do
business with your company, instead of other sites, or your
competition on the web.
Restoring The Personal Touch
There are now 126 Billion websites where you can buy anything
from disposable diapers to nuclear weapons. More business is done
on the Internet in one month than France has done in the last 10
years. You can email any human being on Planet Earth in less than
15 seconds.
