If you're in a corporation trying to catch the next trend, then see what you think of this approach.  Instill corporate entrepreneurship by:

1.    Find Your Entrepreneurial Spirit

Answer the following questions: 

Have you created anything new, improved a service or process to get work and get it done better?  Are your employees excited like kids or dragging in with a bewildered look?  Are you proactive in your industry or reactive?  Do your employees even know what to do with an idea and how it flows through your organization?  Are you finding the right partnerships to serve the marketplace in a unique and better way?  Are you creating new relationships and do you really understand how to grow an idea and what it takes to germinate?   

2.    Maintain a Winning Mental Mindset

Employees need to know and believe what they are doing really makes a positive difference.  They are more interested in having serious fun at work hundreds of days a year versus the weeks of vacation they receive.  Work on instilling the mental motivation skills so your employees can be proud of the work they do to compete in a capitalistic marketplace.  Put winning back into the workplace culture.  More successes increases confidence and builds a foundation for mental motivation skills through confidence and acts as a resource to grab from to create more successes.  Increasing your employees' mental motivation skills to learn at another new best level is the fastest way for performance improvement to grow, profit, and evolve.

3.    Use Leadership Teamwork

The top down structure of leadership has been diminishing more and more and this will continue because of the will of the people and technology.  Sure, for every decision there is a decision maker or group of decision makers.  As a decision maker or non-decision maker are you involved in facilitated sessions or retreats to help decipher what your team really wants, prioritize, and produce goals and metrics?  My research indicates that the majority of employees want to be on a team.  However, the dynamics of a team are missing because they are not empowered to input for various reasons.  Therefore, they feel isolated and this disrupts their mindset by putting their thinking in a rut.  Sure, they can be fired but isn't the purpose of a corporation to develop and grow each employee as an individual with unique talents and skills as well as a teammate.  You'll be surprised that instead of handling moral and attitude issues they will be forcing you to look at ways for you as a leader to grow, distribute, and incentize them to make your job easier and corporation more productive and profitable.  Empowerment is not a buzzword.  It is real and if you are willing to garner its creative force it will create the excitement you are looking for as a leader, boss, and employee. 

Your clients will see the difference in your work and offerings.  Spruce up your entrepreneurial spirit, winning mental mindset, and leadership teamwork on a regular basis.  It's not a one shot deal.  You'll have more serious fun.  It just takes investment of work, time, and money.  That's real good because you receive a return on investment.  It will make the hundreds of days at work just as exciting as those vacation days unless, of course, you're going on an all expenses paid trip to Hawaii.

Preventing Identity Theft

Identity theft is perhaps the most serious among the several crimes that occur in the US. Identity theft is simply an unscrupulous activity in which a thief uses another person's valid information such as social security card details, driver's license information, and credit card details in order to use it for his personal gain, however piling up entire credit in the real owners' name. From draining your bank account and losing your job to utilizing your health card benefits, the after affects of identity theft are quite distressing and in fact, may create serious havocs in your life, which in turn may take several years to recoup from its consequences. Discussed further in this article are some important tips to prevent identity theft as well as its after affects.
Tear or use a shredder to destroy your private statements as well as records that contain in it confidential information. Likewise, ensure that your mail box is safe. If you think that your existing mail box is not secure, then apply for a P O Box in order to minimize the risk of criminals snatching your important information. Equally important is to empty your mail box daily, since crooks may adopt several ways to tap important documents from your mail box.

Never answer any call that comes out of the blue asking for your credit card information. A genuine company would never make a sudden call to ask for your valid information. In addition, be careful when you deal with your credit cards, since criminals may use a special kind of device in order to clone your important information. It is also important to check your credit card information in regular intervals. This in turn would help you to easily trace out suspicious transactions, if any.

Another important thing that you can do in order to safeguard yourselves from identity theft is to slim down your wallet when you go outside. In other words, carry only necessary items in your wallet. For instance, it is advisable to carry not more than one or two credit cards or debit cards in your wallet. Similarly, if not necessary, avoid carrying items such as social security card in your wallet. Further, don't overload your wallet with unwanted bills, receipts, and cards, as a bulky wallet could easily draw the attention of a thief.
One of the best ways to overcome wallet theft is the usage of iWallet - a high tech cash and credit card wallet that is developed by engineers that work in projects with NASA. Its specialty, among many others, is that it could be opened or accessed only if it recognizes your finger print. This is due to its incorporated biometric reader.
