Small Real Estate Business Owners
Are there disadvantages or advantages to being a sole proprietorship real estate sales agent in New York? It is believed that most business owners prefer remaining small but for a real estate agent, those sentiments may only hold true if they are registered under a business structure that protects them from debt and other related business liabilities. The most effective way to manage your business is to first start with a great business plan and if you are already in business, revisiting your business plan every 3 - 5 years. This will help you track and monitor your business performance, update its progress and maintain a top level of technology, knowledge, and experience in your industry.

Marketing is a priority in creating how the market differentiates your property from all the others.
Renovations and restorations are more difficult than new builds but with hardvwork comes much succes. There are currently several large renovation projects taking place in the city. https://www.barrons.com/articles/the-allure-of-buying-in-a-new-york-city-icon-like-the-waldorf-astoria-01583764468 . There may be a growing demand for renewed and refurbished office spaces in large and medium metropolitan locations across the country but the data may also show an over capacity in some of those areas.

New York Armory Show Did Mimimalism and Tachisme Steal The Show?

Looking back and given the degree of cancellations of some of the biggest art shows, I feel fortunate to have attended one of the first significant art shows on the 2020 calendar. This year's New York Armory Show was one of the last events to highlight the gallery art scene before the devastating onset of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) effects on the status of health and global economic stability. The 2021 Armory Show is scheduled will be relocated to New York City's newly renovated 1,800,000 sg. ft. Jacob Javitz Center. This turns a new page to a whole new era for art exhibiting in New York and around the workd. Since 1913 the Armory Show has inspired both collectors, gallerists and artists with the opportunity to showcase new and established art collections to collectors. The 2020 exhibition was reminiscent of its origin, showcasing several nudes and film, but it also may be ushered in a socio-economic perspective and I suspect the 2021 event will grow into something far more interesting.
The Coronavirus (COVID 19) has forced the cancellation of exhibits, conferences as well as museum closures. Like much of the art that would have made its way to the next public sale, there may be some exceptional works missed. I will mention some of those pieces here for your consideration.
Artist Pierre Soulages, whose work was represented by Archeus Gallery, located in Kensington, London, set the tone for original and formidable bodies of work. Soulages career spans from the period of post-war art, his first works on view in the Kootz Gallery, 1954. His theme is "black" yet he sees the presence of light as it is reflected from the darkness. Born in 1919, his work displayed in 2020 helps define the relevance of other artists recognized for work from that era.
Pierre Soulages work will be included in the forthcoming Volume V of Soulages L'Oevre Complet

Tanya Bonakdar Gallery - Representing more than 30 artists, the Bonakdar Gallery highlighted the work of Thomas Scheibitz of Germany, lives and works in Berlin. His work is also on display in MOMA. His career spans from 2013 to present and his works include painting as well a sculpture art. A well-established artist, his work may have influences from Picasso.
Tracking artists and their work, you begin to acquire your own taste for what you like personally that may differ from what is considered "good art" or that of value. There are so many artists in the world and, so much art available but not all art is accessible. What is considered good art can rely heavily on how it is presented.

I Matter
A flashback to "Les Miserable" and the story of the downtrodden, refugee children were given an introduction to visiting ticket holders who could view the "I Matter" exhibit before entry to the show. The NY Armory show ran simultaneously with the ongoing conflict at the borders in Europe and other parts of the world, but just as there has been a lackluster in the amount of money drawn for blockbuster contemporary works, the same holds true for an empathetic response to the desperate situations facing refugees as seen on your nightly news broadcasts or live streams on youtube. The "I Matter " exhibit displayed images of the refugees' faces with an attempt to also expose their personal story.

Empathy In The Workplace
Ways to Improve Credibility in Interpersonal Communications
Credibility is defined as the quality of being trusted and believed.
Credible leadership in today's business world has taken a unique turn in management towards a more humane and fair-style of encouraging employees and rewarding them for their efforts.
Despite the existence of eroding trust in society, workers tend to trust their top managers. The most important skills in effective team management are having honest and caring interpersonal communication skills.

Despite the existence of eroding trust in society, workers tend to trust their top managers. The most important skills in effective team management are having honest and caring interpersonal communication skills.
Edelman Trust Barometer, global measurement of trust, recently found that the most important trust factors pertained to being paid a fair wage, receiving a quality education, being embraced as a stakeholder and partnered across all institutions.
Retaining Talent with Active Listening:
Learner mindset vs. Judgement mindset
Are you eager to hear the opinion of others and to learn more about your team members? Today's business owners use terms like "lean" and "agile" to describe the necessity of having a learner mindset for a business to grow successfully. The most compelling argument for maintaining an open mind in business is the onset of data analytics and a team's ability to respond to data intelligence.
Will 2020 be the year of more trust?

| Matthew Harrington, Edelman Global President, and COO |
I recently attended a one day conference on trust and storytelling.
Matthew Harrington, Global President ,and COO of Edelman was a guest speaker. He shared the results from this year's Edelman Trust Barometer, a yearly audit of global opinions that began almost 20 years ago (in 1999) as a response to the " Battle For Seattle" World Trade Organization protests. In 2020, the theme is the Year of Trust: Competence and Ethics.
Here are some of the highlights:
Income inequality affects trust more than economic growth or the lack thereof. In other words, the more prosperous society, the greater the distrust. To put it more simply, there is a growing distrust in democracies more so than in centralized governments.
Most people surveyed have a general sense of fear in being left behind, especially in the modern age of advanced automation and technology. They actually fear their own governments don't know enough or don't understand the implications of advancing technologies. There is a recognizable shift from trusting technology the most to trusting technology the least alongside the financial services, energy, fashion, entertainment, and the automotive industries. Most trusted companies are those in the retail industry, education, and training. Scientists overall, are the most trusted by those surveyed.
Trust is localized and at the"grassroots". Of those surveyed, people trust their Congressman or woman but not Congress as an institution, and they don't trust "the media" as a whole either. Instead, they trust a select group of media sources as well as those considered "traditional media" that includes search engines and "owned media".
Going back to Seattle
The Edelman Trust Barometer focused heavily on NGOs and their significance in establishing trust between the mass public, business, and government. The distinction between the informed public and the mass public is also relevant to their study.
The survey encompassed responses from people living in 28 countries around the world including India, France, Russia, Australia, Canada, Singapore.. 34,000 participants felt that the most important trust factors pertained to being paid a fair wage, receiving a quality education, being embraced as a stakeholder and partnered across all institutions.

Business 2020 : Modern Business in A Global World of Technology
Traditionally, to operate a successful business, that satisfies the needs and wants of society, requires a sufficient amount of business resources that include material, information, financial and human capital. A business in today's service and technology-based economy requires less and less combined material and human capital. Instead, relatively more financial and informational capital is needed for a business to remain competitive.
Technology companies that have more financial capital than their competitors tend to dominate the global technology services economy. Data management software, as opposed to physical manufactured goods, are distributed and sold in the marketplace. The data is compiled in digital format, often in computer code and encrypted. Their factors of production are in the form of intellectual property rights that enhance the information resources most companies need to earn a profit.
The technology sector includes various well-known rivalries such as Apple, Inc, and Microsoft Systems or Salesforce and Netsuite CRM. Some tech companies such as Google are considered to hold a monopoly in the technology sector but on the other hand, segments of the Internet-related sector are considered a perfect competition environment for businesses. As a single product, the Internet, there are no restrictions on firms entering the market, all products offer essentially the same accessibility and overall prices in the Internet-related market are not disproportionally affected by any one buyer or seller. Due to the loss of net neutrality ( the principle that internet service providers must treat all internet communications equally), this freedom of accessibility to the Internet may soon change.
In a mixed economy, both capitalism and socialism can affect the types of competition in the marketplace as well as how, what, where, and for whom products are produced and sold. Government regulations can either improve or hinder competition on the internet, Internet providers can differentiate accessibility to their technology.
Another example of product differentiation on the internet is Facebook, an online social media platform. It differentiates itself from other social media sites using customized web applications and provides services,, tools and products to third-party developers allowing them to create their own applications using Facebook data.
