Have you done your fine tuning?
The digital clock on the wall flashes red. You look up, and realise that it’s seven o’ clock and another hour has gone by. And you are still at the office! Was that you yesterday? And the day before? When was the last time you took a good long look at your work practices? Are you getting the work-life balance right? You may be trying to steer your team through the rough waters of change, but working excessive hours is not the solution.

Breaking the Rules
Rules are part of life, from an early age onwards our lives are shaped by rules at home, at nursery, at school and eventually at work. There are rules in our society, rules of the road, social etiquette and so on. Importantly there is also another kind of rule that effects our lives and these are the ones we create ourselves which can therefore be considered as self-imposed.

Enterprise Readiness Keeps Success within Your Sights
Whether you are starting a new technology company or launching a new product, you typically have less than two years before you have to be profitable. For most, that means they have to be able to sell their products to large enterprise customers. Once the clock is ticking, many crack under the pressure. But those who embrace enterprise readiness are beating the clock and their competition.
Are your Customers Crazy?
Do your sales people sit back at drink o’clock on a Friday afternoon and share war stories of prospects and customers doing strange and unpredictable things? Are your sales people, more times than your Sales Mangers cares to admit, left scratching their heads as prospects seemingly operate by their own sets of rules, making it up as they go, with a complete disregard for the sales person’s best interests and good intentions?

Underwater Mortgage Advice: The New Financial Rules of Home Ownership
When you're facing an underwater mortgage you're facing a situation where none of “the rules” matter that much anymore. What rules are we talking about?

Mobile Home Parks - How to Properly Enforce the Rules
Many mobile home park owners feel that it is their duty as the owner to rule with an iron hand. They think that they can cure all of the park's ills with rule after rule. At with many parks, the rules section is longer than the lease itself. But is the park any better off with "rules phobia"? I have tested operating parks with extreme rules enforcement, and also with virtually no rules enforcement at all. And I think I have found the solution to successful park rules.
How A 24 Hour Answering Service Can Assist Your Business
If you run a small business you may not be able to run your business and answer your phones around the clock. An answering service can assist your business by extending your office hours to 24 hours a day to provide around the clock customer service support to your client base.

Stop Enabling Problem Employees
Supervisors often lose control of the situation by trying to be understanding and kind about following the rules. They make small exceptions that end up becoming habits, and soon the rules are not enforced at all. It is important to be sensitive to emergency or exception situations, but it is equally important to enforce the rules with an even hand. It is an area where many supervisors struggle. This article suggests an antidote.

Positive Words Create Positive Actions
In our society today we tend to accentuate the negatives instead of the positives. One example is the “alarm clock” we use to wake ourselves up in the morning. Realistically, when we hear an alarm it generates fear or anxiety. When somebody robs a bank, an alarm is sounded; when there’s a fire, someone sounds an alarm. Perhaps waking up to an alarm helps explain the profusion of negative words we use. If you rethink the issue of your clock you will realize that it is really giving you an opportunity. When you hear it ring, you have the opportunity to get up and go. A whole day full of possibilities is available to you once you hear your “opportunity clock.” If you can’t hear it ring, that might mean you’ve gotten up and gone! That could be bad.
The Power of Practical Wisdom
To have practical wisdom means that you know when to innovate, when to bend the rules, when to be flexible, when to improvise a solution. No set of rules can give us what we want because they become inherently constrictive. And rules can often require the individual to sacrifice their own beliefs in order to adhere to the rule.
