Big Rocks are Essential for Business
The best strategy for keeping focused and moving toward your goals is Big Rocks. These are the things that will really make you progress and move your business forward. Do you have Big Rocks? If not, you should. If you don’t attend to the big things first, you’ll never get them done.The Big Rocks need to be attended to immediately if you want to make true progress. Say ‘yes’ to the Big Rocks and ‘no’ to the smaller things if they’re getting in the way.
Reinforcing training: Getting Managers Involved
Just because a training session was completed doesn't mean that information and skills learned will "stick" with trainees. In order for that to happen, it's imperative that managers understand how to reinforce what was learned and how to use that learning to meet the goals of the company.

Getting Past the Executive Gatekeeper
Some sellers fail miserably when trying to gain access to a company executive. Unfortunately, rather than taking the time to develop a strategy, they smile and dial, hoping their canned pitch will be enough to get an appointment. This strategy doesn’t get many sellers past today’s sophisticated executive gatekeepers, and many aren’t willing to give a seller a second chance.

Basic Alignment Drives Sales Results
As important as product, technology, market message, and strategy all are, there is nothing more essential to the overall organization’s sales success than the internal alignment between the sales leadership team and the corporate strategy. The point transcends Sales and applies to every function within the firm, but SalesFulcrum's founder discusses it specifically to Sales.
Making Time for Me
Many people complain that they don’t have enough time to do all the things they say they want to do. There are always so many other priorities to consider and demands from others that get in the way. Then we spend our time exhausted and frustrated that we haven’t achieved what we want. Ultimately though we all have the same 24 hours each day and the real issue is how we manage ourselves to create the space we want for us. There is a whole industry built around time management, from the every day paper based diary to electronic organisers, training and workshops, sophisticated software solutions and even coaches that can help you “de-clutter”. There are however, four very straightforward ways to create all the time we need and keep it simple. Find out more in “Making Time for Me!”

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.
Your Life Purpose
Dear Jane, How can I figure out what my life purpose is? First of all, you may have more than one life purpose. What may feel important at one stage in life may get bumped down by another priority during a different stage of life. For instance, when you were in your teens, your education, which college you would go to, what you were going to be when you “grew up,” may have been your priorities. When you’re in your twenties and thirties, your focus may be on job advancement, achievement, status, marriage, and family. In your forties and fifties, it may change yet again to self-fulfillment and health. As your priorities change, so may your life purpose.
Manage Your Daily Traffic
Concentration of power is the ability to focus upon and accomplish the most vital priorities. A priority is an activity to which we assign value. Vital priorities are high payoff and crucial. In business, vital priorities are essential for the existence, continuation, and well-being of the organization. In our personal life they are the priorities that align with our innermost values. How do we manage our "daily traffic"?
The Power of Priorities
Leadership trainer and author, John Maxwell, says, “Thinking ahead and prioritizing responsibilities marks the major differences between a leader and a follower.” Therefore, when it comes to your priorities, 20% of your priorities will give you 80% of your production.
In Corporate Strategic Planning, Be Ready to Prioritize and Justify
So much has been written about the importance of setting priorities. Whether in time management or corporate strategic planning, the point remains: We must know our priorities and focus on the projects and opportunities that represent our highest priorities. The saying, “Do your best and forget the rest” is applicable in more than one way. Focus your resources and energy on your best opportunities and set the others aside. The question is: How do you determine your priorities? And in the face of competing corporate agendas, how do you justify your choices? Both prioritization and justification are important steps in an effective corporate planning process.
How To Focus On Your ‘Right’ Priorities
The word ‘right’ for me means right-brain, which translates to intuitively honoring the optimal choice or investment of time and energy. The right priorities are not always the obvious priorities.

Get Your Priorities Straight!
Lately, I have been amazed at the answers I get when I query executives about their priorities. Many utter a reference to "objectives" that sounds good, but soon they discover that their answers do not clarify what their priorities are that day. They often are not clear on what actions they need to focus on today that will lead to success tomorrow.

When Cathy was 38 years old, he was diagnosed with colon polyps. He thought his life as he knew it was over. It was not, but the experience did force Cathy to reexamine his principles. “I think I’d like to be remembered as one who kept my priorities in the right order,” says Cathy. “We live in a changing world, but we need to be reminded that the important things will not change if we keep our priorities in proper order.” What were the important things that led to his success?
Are You Drunk with Possibilities?
Every company I have worked with has developed their own methods for determining priorities. The problem is that most are not disciplined enough to limit their number of priorities. "Too many" generally equals "not accomplished."
