Did you just let out a groan at the sight of that word alone? We don’t blame you—a lot of people share that feeling about meetings. But, love ’em or hate ’em, they’re an unavoidable part of your professional life. Here’s the thing: They don’t need to be terrible. In fact, when they’re run effectively and efficiently, they can actually be—gasp!—helpful. Maybe you’re looking for ideas to be a better, more engaged attendee. Maybe you need some advice on how to make sure your own meetings aren’t totally eye-roll-worthy. Or, perhaps, you’re just trying to figure out if you’re justified in turning that conversation into an email. (Hey, no judgment here!) Here is an agenda template as suggested by Alyse Kalish that may help in your meeting world!

Turning Your Idea Into A Small-Business Opportunity!
I saw this article in the SMH a few years ago and thought it was interesting. It suggests seeking input/opinion from trusted family and friends before kicking off a business or practice. Then if that pans out OK then determine what financing is required. Look for available grants where they may be an option. Then take the idea to market and test it out. Then find a good coach and mentor to guide you through the business/practice maze. I think I would add that you need to have a written business plan with some reasonably conservative forecast assumptions to determine whether the idea will work financially. Perhaps the article will resonate with you.
