Turning up the Heat: Rachael Ray Is On Fire
The executives at Cowan and Lobel were not sure if hiring Ray to be the chef at their store was such a good idea in the end. Her prepared dishes were, after all, even outpacing the store’s grocery sales. But Ray had an idea to solve the problem.

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 #3: Know the Difference between Working Hard and Working Smart
“I had a real problem with people overworking actually,” says Orfalea. “They’d work sixty to seventy hours a week in the stores, and they were busy, busy, busy, but the store was dirty and they didn’t see it. I’d say, ‘Why don’t you get the windows cleaned,’ and they would say, ‘I’m too busy.’”

5 Simple Ways To Improve Your Marketing And Boost Your Business Profits
Marketing is the cornerstone of successful business. Without marketing there are no customers, and therefore, no business. In my work I come across many small businesses. Usually, when the owners are asked about their own marketing efforts, the simple reply is they are too busy to devote time to it and anyway, as they are so busy, they do not need to do any marketing anyway! This attitude highlights the one simple truth that stifles any possible growth in a small business, the owner of the business IS the business. What I mean by this is that if the proprietor is on holiday, off sick or even dies, the business immediately stops. No one else is around to pick up the threads and carry on.

The Urgency of Importance
Every one of us probably knows someone who’s permanently in crisis mode, constantly putting out fires, busy, busy, busy.

They are “busy” going nowhere.

Personal Goals and Priorities Pathways and Pitfalls (Part One)
What are you so busy doing? Are you working on high leverage activities that will catapult you, your team, and your organization toward your vision? Or are you just busy? In First Things First, Stephen Covey, Roger Merrill, and Rebecca Merrill write, "People expect us to be busy, overworked. It's become a status symbol in our society - if we're busy, we're important; if we're not busy, we're almost embarrassed to admit it. Busyness is where we get our security. It's validating, popular, and pleasing. It's also a good excuse for not dealing with the first things in our lives."
