Remember The Little Things In Life
| |
| Think about it. If your watch is slow by just four minutes, that's not much--unless you've been warned that if you're even one minute late ever again you will be fired. Then four minutes is a lot. |

Listening Pays !!!

Clearly, not enough time is spent asking questions and listening to customers - the only way salespeople can learn what it will take to quickly close the sale.

Lesson #4: Two Heads Are Better Than One
| |
| In seventh grade gym class, the two self-proclaimed “slowest and fattest kids in the class” found themselves trailing all of the other students on the track. “Coach was yelling at us, ‘Gentlemen, you have to run the mile in seven minutes or you will have to run it again,’” recalls Greenfield. “Ben then responded, ‘Coach, if I didn’t run it in seven minutes the first time, then I’m sure not going to run it in seven minutes the second time.’” |

If Time is the New Currency... is Technology Robbing Us Blind?
| |
| Time is money... the expression is as old as the day is long... and yet these days, "the day" is not nearly as long as we need it to be to get everything done that we want to do.
If that sentence made your head spin a little, chances are it's because, like most of us, you're caught up in the usual rush, rush, rush that has become your expected mode of operation. No matter where we turn, it seems like everyone has an amazing new product or tool that's designed to make life easier and save everyone a ton of time. And yet, our precious minutes just seem to slip away, despite our every effort to "own" our own time. |

The Gift of Time
| |
| Time is one of my favorite subjects. Time is actually the most precious resource we have. Everyone starts their week with the same amount of time. Time is not a discriminator nor does it have any favorites. Time is fair and always ready to serve anyone who understands it. How we use the time we are allotted each day will have a definite impact on our outcomes or results. We are stewards of how we invest our time each day. We must treat time as more precious than money. Being good stewards of time will unlock the key to success in our lives and businesses. |

Concentration Is The Cure For Tough Times…Part One
| |
| Every time you do not concentrate, you fall behind on what you planned to do and the result is, you lose a lot. That precious time is gone forever. Every day, you have 1,440 minutes at your disposal. That’s the same amount of time that successful people like, a Bill Gates or a Nelson Mandela, have every day. You may find reasons for not getting things done, but most excuses are poor substitutes for ACTION. Most things in life are possible. |

Why Are Meetings One Hour Long?
| |
| The vast majority of meetings in the business world are scheduled for one hour. I think this is a paradigm we should challenge for several reasons.
1. Like an old habit, we just fall into the pattern without even thinking about it.
2. We lose track of those extremely valuable minutes within the hour format. We can do better than that.
3. The meeting itself is often inefficient as there is time to schmooze for the first 20 minutes or so, and most of the decisions occur in the final 10 minutes of a meeting.
There are many techniques for squeezing more usable time from our daily schedule – and we really need them. Next time you schedule a meeting, try making it 50 minutes rather than an hour. It will emphasize the importance of the minutes and save time in the bargain.
