Planning, prepartation matter more now than ever
by Larry Mandelkberg
Sacramento Business Journal - March 12, 2010
' The Sacramento economy is no longer in reverse. It’s engaged and moving forward at an accelerating pace. Now is the time to escape the pull of a dysfunctional economy and catch the rising tide — an economy driven by cash, not credit; by need, not want; an environment of accountability, not blame.'
Recession has taken as toll on service

'Our world is filled with technology. From TiVo to talking cars, we are more connected technologically now than we ever have been. Working barefoot on the beach is no longer just something you see in an ad on television.'

'These past 14 months have been the most turbulent times any current business owner has ever had to navigate. Our world has changed, and if you haven’t made time to re-evaluate the environment in which your business is operating, you’ve left yourself exposed and vulnerable.'

by Larry Mandelkberg
Sacramento Business Journal - October 9, 2009
'Regardless of how you define success, there are many strategies that will help you achieve it. The most important question to answer is, why does one business thrive in a down economy while dozens of others struggle just to survive?'
Social media is here to stay; it's time to jump in
by Larry Mandelkberg
Sacramento Business Journal - September 11, 2009
'Social networking used to mean talking to your neighbors. Still does, but your neighbors aren’t next door anymore; they’re thousands of miles away in another country. Your only link ...'

Seek input to avoid bad decisions
by Larry Mandelkberg
Sacramento Business Journal - July 10, 2009
'Decisions are what drive an organization. They are the pedal to the metal, the fuel in the tank. The day begins with a decision about what to do, and ends with a decision about when to stop. Decisions are made...'

Talk on touchy topics can lead to office tension

Sacramento Business Journal - April 10, 2009
'Conflict in the office is not always about business. Any time you bring people together you have the potential for tension and dispute. Sometimes people simply react to other people.'
Build a bridge to span the economic pit
by Larry Mandelkberg
Sacramento Business Journal - March 13, 2009
'It’s impossible to ignore the economy these days. Discussion of growth and profits seem out of place when all we hear and read about is shrinkage and job loss. The economy is doing its best to push businesses off a cliff, and it is succeeding far too often.'
Experienced board gives you a leg up
by Larry Mandelkberg
Sacramento Business Journal - February 13, 2009
'Any competitor with the right motivation and funding can sell the same products and offer the same services as you. They can buy a building right next to yours. They can copy you in virtually every way except two: They cannot duplicate your staff, and they cannot duplicate the input you get from your advisers.'
Decisions based on emotion are bad for business
by Larry Mandelkberg
Sacramento Business Journal - January 9,2009
'The biggest mistakes made by business leaders are typically caused by decisions based on emotion. Emotions undermine clear thinking and cause people to do things they otherwise would never contemplate. And when family is involved, emotion is involved — it goes with the territory.'
