More and more we are hearing about socially responsible investing
and ecologically responsible investing and ecologically responsible
business. The wholistic approach to industry and commerce now puts
more than the customer or the stockholder first: happy employees
make happy customers and improves the bottom line. A new appreciation
for the impact a business has on the planet and all of nature is
combined with a team approach to improved relationships between
customer, employee, management and investor.

Sociocybernetics for Success, James Holmes, Ph.D. Norbert Weiner
derived the term "cybernetics" from a Greek word meaning "steersman,"
which was also the ancestor of the word "governor." His book Cybernetics
was published in 1948 and is considered to be the basis for the
relatively new science of control by communication. Control, as
used here, is about staying on course to accomplish goals. The above
topic is about establishing business goals and staying on course
to attain financial success. Jim has been a friend and member of
the Business Network for many years. He was formerly a financial
administrator for the Portland Public School System.

Selecting Your Business Partner by Jeff Carl (800-206-5836), author
of a new program to help you choose partners in your business and
personal relationships. Scientific tests show that the human mind
cannot make a decision without the support of subconscious emotions
which may have old programming. This conflict can cause stress,
fear, sickness, depression, mood swings, anxiety and even pain,
which can lead to dysfunctional behavior. Most people assume they
can think or talk their way to change. This is an ineffective process
since the subconscious mind works faster than the brain can think.
Come take Jeff's test and join the discussion.
