Fighting Time!
| |
| Do you feel you’re in a constant battle with time? Does time seem to be winning, no matter which technology, process, and system one uses? While the amount of time in a day, week and year remains the same, people are attempting to fit more commitments into the same finite time spans. After many years of observing and working with senior management, I have found a fundamental flaw in how they approach time. This flaw causes significant bottlenecks in their companies. Worse, their poor leadership regarding time strategies causes others to have problems with time. |

The Gift of Time
| |
| Time is one of my favorite subjects. Time is actually the most precious resource we have. Everyone starts their week with the same amount of time. Time is not a discriminator nor does it have any favorites. Time is fair and always ready to serve anyone who understands it. How we use the time we are allotted each day will have a definite impact on our outcomes or results. We are stewards of how we invest our time each day. We must treat time as more precious than money. Being good stewards of time will unlock the key to success in our lives and businesses. |

The Dough Starts Flying: Domino’s Takes Off
| |
| “We had no idea what we were doing” recalls Monaghan of his and his brother’s first venture into the pizza business. “We opened up without an attorney.

However, when Monaghan’s brother refused to give up his job as a full-time mailman, Monaghan traded his Volkswagen for his brother’s half of the business. |

Lesson #5: Success Comes Hand in Hand with Sacrifice
| |
| Many entrepreneurs are wooed into owning their own business and working for themselves because of the flexibility and freedom they anticipate going along with that. But, being an entrepreneur does not always mean being able to set your own hours, or being able to be home when you want to, or taking vacations at a moment’s notice. As Ray has come to learn, being an entrepreneur can still mean long hours at the hands of others. But for her, it is work well worth it. |

Lesson #4: “There are no shortcuts”
| |
| “Occasionally great wealth is created in a short amount of time, but it’s through a lot of luck in those situations,” says Hastings. “You just have to think of building an organization as a lot of work. It may or may not turn into great wealth.” |

Making the Time
| |
|
One time we were keeping Timmy, a young cat with a long, fluffy tail for our granddaughter, Sunshine. Somehow he went missing and we spent a considerable amount of time and energy looking for that cat before he was found. That’s typical. Most people pull out all stops to recover a pet or a treasured relationship. We would “do anything” to change some things or to have them back. |

How Would You Rate Your B-B-A Ability?
| |
| B-B-A is an acronym for bounce back ability. Your bounce back ability is the amount of time it takes you to move through, recover from, or let go of the negativity attached to any given circumstance or situation.
Things that stand in our way of our B-B-A are things like resentment, guilt, shame, unforgiveness, etc. The quicker we can move through our negative emotions, the faster our B-B-A is. Check out the B-B-A Scale in the following article to determine where you are at and where you can go from here. |

Are Your Expectations Known to You?
| |
| We enter the world with high expectations. Somehow we know our parents will feed us, and look after us until we are able to look after ourselves. We attend educational institutions and know that the teachers are paid to teach us. We then enter the world of career choices, we find the perfect job for us and then, well it all falls apart. |

Let Time Bear Dividends for You
| |
| I have heard so often from people that “I don’t have time” or “There is so much to do, I just can’t catch up.” The truth is that we all have the same amount of time: 24 hours x 7 days. This is the only resource that we are given equally. The only difference is where and how we spend it. In my opinion, where and how we spend our time has the greatest effect on the results in our life.

Finding Work-Life Balance in the New Year

Getting Things Done –Work/Life Balance in your Own Enterprise
| |
| You really cannot manage time, but you can manage how you use that time. Everyone gets the same amount of time in each day!. You don’t have 30 hours today just because you feel really busy!. If your goal is strictly to get more things done, why not review this thinking to not just getting things done but getting the right (appropriate for you) things completed or review how you manage the focus of how you use your time. Prioritise your tasks in order of importance/urgency.
Far too many of us seem to go through life just “going through the motions”. We have developed our daily habits over time, and our habits have become our life. We may have never actually taken the time to think about what we want and why we want it. How about you? |

MOST OF US REMAIN STRANGERS

| “If you were put on trial as an expert, would there be any evidence to convict you?
The fourth characteristic of high performing salespeople is expertise. Expertise is the element of the law of authority. The law of authority says, “if you are perceived as an authority or expert, trust is enhanced.” We trust experts. We trust experts who testify in court. We trust doctors who have been trained well and are experienced in their field. How would you feel if, while seeing a doctor, who said to you, “You need an operation, I’ve never done this one before, but I think I can do it?”

Beware of the Numbers Game
| |
| A lot of times with referrals we think that if we have this base of clients and they can refer us, then we will have more clients who will refer us and so on and so on too. But you know this isn't what really happens in your business, does it? If you think about where your referrals have really come from, no doubt a handful of people come to mind (if you are lucky)! So why is it that some people refer us and some people don't? There are many factors that come into play that make someone a good referral source. |

Markus Frind and Plenty of Fish - A Case Study in Effective Sales and Marketing Strategy
| |
| A couple weeks ago, I read one of the most compelling articles on a growing business that I have read in years. In his article entitled, "And the Money Comes Rolling In", Inc. Magazine writer Max Chafkin talks about Markus Frind's strategies for growing his personal dating website, Plenty Of Fish. Frind's idea was to build a basic user-content-driven website and pay for it with ads. He started from scratch and built out a minimalist site by anyone's standards (look at it now and there still isn't anything too impressive - distorted personal pictures and a heart favicon). But the idea resonated with thousands of people who were paying for a dating service and looking for a free alternative. He is now clearing $5 million a year after taxes. He has a handful of staff members and a nice, but mostly unfurnished, office in Vancouver. |

How Middle Managers are Key to Company Success
| |
| In hierarchal organizations, strategic intent flows from the top, while tactical implementation is carried out at the bottom. In the middle of the flow are middle managers: first- second- and third tier supervisors, managers and senior managers who are mandated to proactively deliver the planned strategy's goals.
The challenge is that the bulk of their energy is spent tactically (and often) reactively responding to pressures from customers, subordinates, peers and their boss.
In fact, how the middle manager responds on a moment-by-moment basis is more impactful to a strategy's success (and an organization's cohesion) than the communication of the plan in the first place. |

The Power Of Free Sample Marketing For A Digital World
| |
| Digital media is something that has really changed the way that the world works. It has created a large shift in the way that information is passed along and in the way that entertainment is found and purchased. Computers allow music to be shared in mere moments. They allow whole books to be transferred from a seller to a buyer without any physical transaction taking place; these books can then be read on the screen. There is this whole culture of instantaneous transfer of goods. It has progressed to the point where people do not even like to wait for any amount of time. They do not want to make a purchase in a store because that would mean leaving the house, driving to the store, and waiting in the check-out line. You can make use of this culture with your free sample marketing.

Whatever your worry category, the solution is the same. We need to understand our worry and identify what we can control and what we can’t. |

| I’ve had to change web hosting companies on more than one occasion simply due to the fact that I wasn’t getting the kind of web hosting support that I needed. Once, I had a simple technical problem that needed little more than a yes or a no answer from the customer service representatives, but my attempts to even reach the company went in vain. First, I called, but the 1-800 number I was given – the one that was supposed to be 24/7 support – did not work. Then, I emailed, but those too were fruitless. In the end, switching companies cost me more than it should have. This article is to help you avoid going down the same path I did. |

Here are five key ways to get past your resistance and get “it” done, whatever the “it” is: |

Coach Pete's Tip: Manage Priorites Not Time
| |
| The secret is in managing your priorities not time. We make time for important things in our lives. When a crisis or important task is suddenly forced on us it some how it gets done. What we are doing is really managing priorities not time. We can not manage time, we can not stop it or hit the pause button. We can not rewind and replay the last hour. |

Prove that what you have is sellable and ask for the right amount of money
| |

It can take years to build a broad product and then more time to sell it. If you are looking to raise capital, that is a hard pitch to sell investors on. Find a product that you can bring to market quickly and start earning revenues with to prove yourself. Do not get distracted by your vision. |

TIME TO INCREASE SALES by Mike Le Put
| |
| Everyone gets the same amount of time. High achievers, low achievers all get 24 hours in a day. Great sales people, under-achieving sales people, great Sales Managers and under-achieving Sales Managers all get the same amount of time. The question is not ‘Do you have the time?’ but ‘What are you doing with the time?’, ‘How do you spend it?’ and ‘What return do you get on your investment of time?’ |

Lesson #3: Dedicate Yourself And Follow Through
| |
| “I made a resolve then that I was going to amount to something if I could,” Sanders once said. “And no hours, nor amount of labour, nor amount of money would deter me from giving the best that there was in me. And I have done that ever since, and I win by it. I know.” |

The Gift of Time
| |
| Time is one of my favorite subjects. Time is actually the most precious resource we have. Everyone starts their week with the same amount of time. Time is not a discriminator nor does it have any favorites. Time is fair and always ready to serve anyone who understands it. How we use the time we are allotted each day will have a definite impact on our outcomes or results. We are stewards of how we invest our time each day. We must treat time as more precious than money. Being good stewards of time will unlock the key to success in our lives and businesses. |
