Controlling Chaos During Expansion
| |
| Chaos, confusion and catastrophe are what Michael Gerber of Entrepreneur Magazine calls “The Three C’s of Business Failure.” It is not uncommon for a small business to be plagued with chaos. The best advice is to take control before chaos becomes habit. “Most small businesses are a hopeless mess,” Gerber says. Disorganization and confusion are irritating, but worst of all, they cost your business money. Chaos eats away at productivity and, ultimately, profits. How can you steer your business clear of chaos? |

Tax Session
| |
| We are coming to the end of tax session here in Canada. It can be a stressful and anxious time, as people with ADHD usually don’t enjoy the tasks associated with taxes.

These tasks are often thought of as boring and mundane. Even if your intentions are really good, there never seems to be enough time to do them. |

8 Ways to Expanding your Coaching Business during a Recession
| |
| To help your Coaching Business survive this recession without lifelong consequences, you can only do this if you are willing to change and adapt. It's all about becoming more macro and reaching out to your clients that have previously been closed to you but which are now open due to you “thinking out of the box!” and offering the services they need. The work is still there, the clients are still there, the need is still there and probably greater than ever. The difference is, are you going to capitalise of this unique position?

Sales Management Training Tips: Sales Coaching vs. Admin?
| |
| After my last blog 5 Ways to Gauge Your Sales Managers’ Coaching, I heard from several clients. One VP of Sales loved the article and asked for copies for his Directors of Sales. Two heads of sales from different companies liked the post but did not want to send it out to their frontline sales managers because of my comment (see below) that coaching was more important than administration. Neither wants their sales managers to feel that it is OK to spend time in the field and avoid administration.

Customer Focus in Process Improvement
| |
| A process is a series of steps completed to achieve a particular result. It is hard to imagine a process improvement effort that doesn’t start with a focus on that result with a question like “What is the purpose of this process?” - whether the customer is actually engaged or not. Sometimes we have a strong sense that our product or service is good. Sometimes we choose to “get our own house in order” before we step outside the organization. Sometimes we base the result on a prescription provided by the customer. However, sometimes, our focus may be misdirected to how we do the work without considering why it is done in the first place...particularly where slick new technologies are involved. But, without actually engaging the customer, we can’t really know how well the process is working to provide the customer what they need or want. |

Why 75% of Women Struggle to Succeed in Business
| |
| When you look at the list of what women 'do' in their businesses it looks something like this..
1. General administration
2. Email
3. Website maintenance
4. Phone calls
5. Marketing
6. Social Networking
7. Client work
8. Bookkeeping
9. Running errands
plus much much more.
Of course this 'to do' list is similar to what men 'do' in business, however the woman in business is also responsible for the personal side of life. Having children and partners plus take care of the household can consume your day without even going anywhere near their business!
The biggest barrier to their success is they often try to 'do' everything themselves, which is impossible. While they are 'doing' the day-day basics, there's no time to work 'on' the business. There's no time to look after their no. 1 asset... themselves. |

What culture do you develop?
| |
| As a leader have you considered the culture you want in your organization? A culture of an organization is determined by the behaviors and perceptions of your people.
Consider, how your people treat your customers, how they treat each other, what their perception of your suppliers is, or more importantly, what do they think of the leaders and managers?
You have heard the phrase 'walk-the-talk', people are watching you and based on your behavior they develop perceptions and will act accordingly.
As an observer of an organization, it is very easy to identify the culture, one visit to a store, one interaction with the sales team, or customer service department will provide you with an indication of what is happening in that organization. |

5 Timestealers You Must Avoid

| Gary has a business, employing 7 staff. When he contacted me he was at a point where the stress from his business was so bad, that he would constantly wake up 3 or 4 times a night worried about everything ...his cash flow, staff, lack of clients and the affect all this was having on his personal well-being and family life.
He didn't use a diary, had no way of planning and kept everything 'in his head'.Often his staff were idle because he hadn't spent time training them. That ensured the work didn't get done therefore causing Gary to lose clients.

Self Assessment...Do You Really Need An Accountant To Deal With This??

| This article examines what benefits are gained by using a qualified professional to handle your tax affairs for you. Not using an accountant for your tax matters is akin to doing your own minor surgery on yourself to save the cost of a surgeon. I hope you would never dream of doing that - so why then would you risk getting into strife with the Tax Office just to save a few quid. Any accountant can more than justify his fee and can save you money on your tax bill that you will never have thought of. After all...if you were expert in tax you would be a tax consultant - not running the business that you are. |

Wholehearted performance checklist
| |
| "The antidote to exhaustion is not rest; the antidote to exhaustion is ...
... wholeheartedness"
- David Whyte
We perform at our finest when we are wholly engaged. Whether we are working or playing tennis, we achieve our best (with least effort) when we are fully focused on what we are doing, when we enjoy the task in hand without stress.
Yet this engagement can often be missing. For example, our tendency to constantly evaluate ourselves may get in the way. So does our fear of "getting it wrong". For many successful professionals, boredom can be a big distraction)

14 Characteristics of Top-Flight Salespeople

| The Difference between The Best And The Also-Rans…
As a consultant and trainer in sales and the sales process, I’m often asked the question, “What makes a top-performing salesperson?”
As with most things in life, the answer can be summarised in just two words, Attitude and Activity.
Attitude determines the difference between the best and the rest. The best don’t necessarily know more, they just do more and do it better and more frequently.
Activity is the manifestation of their desire to succeed.
Combined, they become Actitude - activity conducted with a positive attitude.
