Lesson #1: Be Ruthless
“We have no intention of failing,” says Murdoch. “The only question is how great a success we’ll have.”

The Real Reason You Dwell on Your What-Ifs
When you are thinking of taking a step out into your next career move, or leaving a current relationship situation for one that is more right, you may dwell on “but what if ” “What ifs” keep you held back in your comfort zone. You probably experience this as feeling fear, but I think what stops you is not so much fear per se, but what is ‘underneath’ the fear.
Leadership for Growth
How many companies are letting their business stagnate through a proliferation of poor management practices and a lack of effective leadership at multiple levels? Possibly a sensitive and controversial question, however one that may still warrant some answers.

Service and Wellbeing
When time is tight and energy levels are low, it is hard to think of the needs of others. When frustrations are high and worry is constant, it feels like we are the ones who need support and help. But we find some magic in the universe when we help others. It is a profound step to reclaiming deliberate control over one's life.
How to Shape Up the Inventory when you have 5000+ SKU’s
The goal: NO EXCESS INVENTORY These days, independent retailers cannot afford one piece of excess inventory. Storage costs, insurance, pilferage, damage, depreciation, taxes and interest on loans add up to 30 percent annually to the cost of the goods you carry. Because those costs continue to rise, tight inventory control is still one of the best investments you can make - especially during the buying season.

Without warning, Michigan families when involved in an auto accident find themselves on a tight budget are faced with almost overwhelming questions, such as: who will pay for my medical bills, now and in the future? Who will pay for my car that’s damaged or totaled? How can I keep food on the table and the roof over the head of my family when all these sudden major costs have to be met? Entrepreneurs, although likely not on a tight budget, face some of the same issues the next day after a car accident.
Just Because You Are Impatient Does NOT Mean I Have To Move Any Faster
Have we evolved into beings that have become so selfish and self absorbed that we have forgotten about our own self control? The ability to keep your mental, emotional and physical being, in check, requires self-control. The inability to do so is a sign that you are "out of control." When you easily lose your self control, you will most certainly fire off outbursts of anger, temper and blame on others.
What You Control
You may not be able to control if your job gets cut, but you can control whether you're a high performer who your boss is fighting to keep. You may not be able to control how quickly you get another job, but you can control the number of daily contacts you make in your search and how you "show up," future-focused, at the interview. You may not be able to control the amount of work you get, but you do control whether you're responding as a victim or taking action toward developing your skills and contacts for a new future.

Are you following a Sales Process?
If not, you are not only wasting your time, but you are also losing sales because of it. You think you are in control but in reality you are out of control. Have you ever been rejected? If your answer is yes, you have just proven that you are not in control of the sales process; however, the buyer is in control. Isn’t it your job and responsibility as a sales professional to qualify the prospects and to reject them if they are not qualified? Who is really qualifying? Who is really in control?
Don’t Do This as a Sales Manager
When you are setting goals, there are a lot of factors to keep in mind that are danger spots and pitfalls of goal setting. As part of the "don't do this as a sales manager" this is one of the important parts to helping you and your sales people set goals, and to make sure that you keep a very tight leash on those goals. Have control over those goals, and oversee the actions that are being taken to achieve those goals is very important.
The Secret to Feeling in Control During Times of Change
For most of us, the thought of having control over life inconveniences seems like a great idea; wouldn’t it be great to control traffic, the weather, our family or neighbors? However, rather than actual control over our environment, what we really want is simply a sense of control, to feel like we’re on top of things. This can be achieved by choosing to accept challenges for what they are, setting a clear intention of what we need to do and finding the balance between our level of ability and the challenge presented. By learning to consciously reframe even the most chaotic situation, you’ll find that feeling “in control” is less about making life go according to plan, and more about your ability to focus on what you can control.
HOW TO STAY COOL AND IN CONTROL WHEN DEALING WITH INTERRUPTIONS
"The effectiveness of work increases according to geometric progression if there are no interruptions."André Maurois, 19th century author Gee, thanks for the tip, André . Under benign circumstances, interruptions are, at best, annoying. When you're under the gun with a tight deadline, verging on panic, they can push you over the edge in a gritted-teeth-bulging-neck-vein "LEAVE. ME. ALONE." kind of way. Because they're unpredictable, interruptions exacerbate our feeling of not being in control. Think about it: a phone call is less disruptive - even if it's unscheduled and breaks the continuity of what you're doing - if it's expected. So, since enraged and reactive is probably not where you wanna be, let's talk about a few things you can do to regain and maintain a sense of control: 1. LIMIT POTENTIAL INPUTS.
Assessing Our Ability to Influence Others
In our personal and leadership development workshops we often conduct a 'degrees of control' exercise. We ask participants to come up with examples in the following areas: 1. Direct Control; 2. Influence; and 3. No Control. While there's often lots of debate and not always full agreement, examples under No Control generally include things like the weather, the economy, natural disasters, freak accidents, and the like. Discussions about my degree of Direct Control usually boil down to just one thing - me. However, some autocratic people fool themselves into thinking they have direct control over their teams, kids, or people reporting to them. Many other people are quick to surrender to the Victimitis Virus and declare they have no control or even influence over the behavior of anyone else.
