Lesson #3: Take Care Of Your Customers And They Will Take Care Of You
More than anything else, the Four Seasons chain of luxury hotels is known for exactly that – luxury. But, it isn’t luxury in the normal sense. “Our competitors interpreted luxury chiefly as dazzling architecture and décor, but how important is that to our customers?” Sharp asks. “They are mostly executives, often under pressure, fighting jet lag, stress and the clock. We decided to redefine luxury as service.”

The Importance Of Time Management When Running A Home Business
Running a home business is not an easy task because it involves simultaneous time management on professional as well as personal fronts. Also, home business owners cannot afford to waste time like salaried employees sometimes do. This is because home business owners are fully aware of the fact that if they do not manage their time properly, they will not be able to earn enough money. In simple words, home business time management is vital because the time you spend on your business is usually directly linked with the amount of money you will make.

Why You Need a Success Mindset
You hear it all the time: Success is a state of mind. Some would argue that success is a natural result of proper planning, preparation and focused action – and that viewpoint certainly holds a grain of truth. But there are also many exceptions to disprove that "rule." Have you ever wondered how two people can attempt the same objective in the same way and only one of them succeed? Is it sheer luck? Timing? Tenacity? More often than not, it's a person's mindset that determines whether they fail or succeed.

Your Limitations - Are they a Black Swan?
umor me for a moment today. Please close your eyes and envision a swan. Now, take a few moments and describe that swan. What words did you use? White, graceful, bird, clean, dirty, ugly duckling, etc. Long ago, in Europe, everyone believed that all swans were white. Why was that? Well, it was because all anyone had ever seen were swans that were white. Everyone thought that until in 1967. That was when Australia was found as well as the black swan. So what does this have to do with organizing or productivity? Keep reading to find out! Don't limit yourself!

Company Culture the Personality of Your Business and Brand
Is your company culture fear-based, trust-based, or strengths-based? Take a few moments to think about it. How would you know the difference? It’s vital information that reflects the personality of both your business and brand. In a fear-based culture the traditional hierarchy dominates. Managers tell uninspired employees what to do and how to do it based on the assumption that the company is a machine that needs willing servants to function properly. Does this sound overly simplified? In reality, the fear factor might express itself with more subtlety but it always comes down to a one-way communication channel. It is no surprise that creativity and innovation suffer while productivity slows down when fear is the motivator.

"The universe holds its breath as we choose, instant by instant, which pathway to follow; for the universe, the very essence of life itself, is highly conscious. Every act, thought, and choice adds to a permanent mosaic; our decisions ripple through the universe of consciousness to affect the lives of all. Lest this idea be considered either merely mystical or fanciful, let's remember that fundamental tenet of the new theoretical physics: Everything in the universe is connected to everything else." David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D.

Why Saying Well Done Works
We all like to be acknowledged, but for thousands, even millions of employees, such recognision never happens.

Using Streaming Video As Web Content
Webmasters no longer need to rely on textual content, or even static graphic content for websites.

However, thanks to the increasingly short attention span of surfers, a new technology has emerged as offering a superb alternative – streaming video content.

Moments: The secret of life.(The Origin)
Last fall two unrelated media events sparked the creation of Time Control’s Moments tool. The first was an interview with Dallas Cowboys' football star Deion Sanders. Having made a career of highlight reel interceptions and punt and kickoff returns for touchdowns, Deion reflected that he defined the success of his career by individual moments on the field. With all of the years of preparation for the NFL, with all of the countless hours of physical. and mental conditioning, with all of the practices, with all of the hours of actual game time throughout his career, it was the individual big plays that defined Deion Sanders. Moments tool is about how we measure our success and joy through time.

Moments: The Secret of Life (Your Inventory)
So let’s put Moments to work for you! The Moments tool helps build your time through a continuous two-part process. The first part is taking an inventory of defining significant and simple moments for your past and present. The second is consciously trying to invest into your collection of moments every day. Let’s start with your inventory.

Your Moments Bank Account
As I already told you, the Moments tool helps builds your time through a continuous two-part process.

The Art of Success Journaling: Wealth Creation From Your Words
How can you use a diary or journal to unlock your authentic self and your dreams? How do you unleash your spirit so you can jump out of bed and joyfully experience life every single day? Maybe you remember moments where you felt truly inspired or divinely fulfilled in every way. If you can capture those moments, they become tools to help you understand your dreams and desires. In this way, your journal can be the magic wand that removes all limits and unlocks your heart.
Write Your Own Story
I’ve spoken and written about leaving a legacy; what we as individuals do for the betterment of more than simply ourselves. However, what we all must realize is that a legacy is built everyday. It is built in the choices and moments that seem to have no consequence, the moments that are filled with tedious details, questioning and bouts with the reins of persistence as we do all we can to stay on track. A legacy is more than a trust fund or a inheritance, a summer house, or even a college endowment. Your legacy is the story of your everyday. What you do with the hours, minutes and seconds that you own, because they are your own.

FATHERS & SONS (How the Years Go By)
Many of you have children who have just graduated from university or college and/or who are about to graduate from high school this month. Congratulations for all of your perseverance and hard work in getting your kids there! They would not have been able to do it without your support and guidance. This months article is to draw your attention too and remind particularly all of the dads around this; “Fathers Day,” that these are “the moments of our lives.” These are the moments that should be reflective of what we value and cherish most.
Proceed and Succeed
We all face disappointments and setbacks. Everyone has times in their life where they ask themselves such questions as “is it all worthwhile,” “am I really on the right path” and “if so, why is it so hard?” These are not ordinary moments … these are your destiny-defining moments.
Customer Service is NOT a Department
The average attendee in my seminars states that they have had mostly "average" customer service experiences, a few "horrible" experiences and just one "fantastic" experience in the past month. Tony Alessandra calls these Moments of Mediocrity, Moments of Misery, and Moments of Magic. It has been my contention that every company has the ability to stand out by simply striving for the WOW experience that Alessandra calls a Moment of Magic. While I agree that the customer service professionals on your team do absolutely drive the customer experience, I would like to challenge those of us in the sales side of the business to take a closer look at our role in this process. Let’s break down that MAGIC into an easy-to-digest (and apply) acronym: Managing Expectations, Assessing Needs, Growth vs. Maintenance, Interest and Communication.
