    James, thanks for asking. Long ago I found "The Race" in a used bookstore. Intriguing.

    Some time after that, I worked a few years in the computers at a major manufacturer. The department had to radically streamline operations and improve efficiencies. My manager brought in experts from MIT in Lean Manufacturing. I became fascinated by their application of Toyota, Deming, and 6 Sigma concepts.

    I continued studying these concepts on my own after leaving that company. I read much from Goldratt, Lang Dettmer, Boyd, and the TRIZ authors. Next to read: Ricketts' "Reaching the Goal."

    I'm now assembling a business plan to offer consulting to small to medium businesses. I figure that the combination of Jay Abraham/IM influenced marketing, with TOC based operations, should help many companies improve their success.

    And not just a conversation starter... I really do see a natural fit between TOC/Lean and the famous Kiwi attitude to innovation.

    Thanks for asking!

    Regards,
    Allen

Step One: Ask Google: Keywords based on primary benefit

Unless you already dominate a market, building a Campaign around your product name – or worse, brand name – is financial suicide.

For most businesses and most brands, the campaign should be benefit-based.

That’s not news – many marketers will tell you that’s always been the case. Unfortunately though, far too many of the Ads I see on Google are product or brand focused.

Now, I know what...

Last Thusrday I met a hard-working Auckland factory worker - who dreams of building a modest semi-passive income online... To offset the risk of being made redundant in these tough economic times.

Turns out he recently "invested" $4000 in an online retailing 'franchise' - allowing him to set up an online store, form relationships with drop-ship suppliers and start retailing products.

After many weeks and no sales (and, he suspects, no visitors), he contacted...

Tough times ahead... we’re heading into commercial equivalent of a global hurricane.
Jobs will be lost… businesses will fail… families will be torn apart… what can we do?
Well, life boats are more useful than pleasure yachts during a storm at sea, and similarly
as we the face a global recession, each of us must help others to reduce costs (safely),
preserve sales despite falling markets, guard our clients and associates from competitive
attacks, increase productivity,...
