How to Start and Prepare a Home Based Business
In recent times, the most effective and productive way to do work is at home. Constant noise, the phone rings and even colleagues from the office can be distracting and it disturbs a lot of people who are concentrating on their work. While your own home can be filled with distractions, you can always create a working space where you can be left alone.
Effective Workplace Communication
Communication is an extremely powerful tool for success which, when effectively engaged in, creates strong relationships, harmonious working conditions and allows us to share the best of ourselves with students and colleagues.
Time for Service Warriors
We live in a time of spirit larceny. Layoffs have robbed colleagues of colleagues, leaving those who remain feeling hollow. And, the hustle for razor thin margins has put short term profits at center stage and long term relationships in the cheap seats. As organizations are put in a profit-at-all-cost vise, what can be squeezed out is the positive spirit of service providers. It is a time for service warriors.
Meeting Etiquette . . .the Direct Correlation to Employee Performance
The lateness thing is not just an inconvenience or a sign of inefficiency. It has a direct correlation to employee performance. A recent poll of 360 workers, including senior management, conducted by Workplace Intelligence Unit, found that turning up late for meetings was considered by many workers the height of disrespect, with four out of ten feeling that colleagues who did so or canceled at the last minute were simply showing that they did not value their colleagues' time. People feel disrespected when they show up and others don't. The message received is that those who arrive late value their own time more than that of their staff and co-workers. The BlackBerry thing says "what's happening on my Blackberry is more important than the meeting agenda and attendees."

Being assertive is good for business
Not everyone knows how to be assertive, that is, being confident and firm without being aggressive. It is especially useful in the working environment, as greater assertiveness can help to get the best out of yourself and your people, yielding returns in all areas of your business. Assertiveness encourages those who are shy or less vocal to become more involved, and helps the more extrovert or volatile to fine tune their dealings with customers, suppliers and colleagues. An assertive person is a positive, resourceful presence in your business.

ENTERPRISE LEVEL PERFORMANCE: Creating a Self Management Culture
Want to get the job done? Give it to a self manager. The ROI of a Self Management is huge in both financial and human terms. The numbers are invariable double digits plus, however equally important is the value of working together with self motivated, committed colleagues who do what they say they'll do. Here's how to create an enterprise level Self Management Culture one step at a time by instilling core principles of Self Management as part of day-to-day practice.
Your Career, Your Responsibility - Individual Branding
Individual branding is critical if you want to progress your career - who’s in control of your reputation at work - you or your colleagues? If you don’t take a proactive approach to building your personal brand in the workplace, you’ll soon find that others do it for you. Whatever you want your reputation to be, you need to have a plan of action in place so that others perceive you in this way. If you sit back and do nothing your colleagues will either consciously or sub-consciously pigeon-hole you. And once you become known as a certain ‘type of person’ it’s difficult to change the way others think of you.
How to Differentiate Yourself and Stand Out in Your Market Place
If you work in a large organisation it can be hard to differentiate yourself from your colleagues in order to progress your career. How you handle your personal reputation will go a long way into shaping how you’re perceived by colleagues and management in your workplace. For many people a job is just a job. If you’re keen to get ahead and be noticed by the people who matter, you need to demonstrate that you have rare qualities.
How To Earn More Money To Retire Early
When you think of your retirement what do visualise? Travelling the world visiting exotic countries, spending time chilling out playing golf or merely having more quality time to spend with your family. Many of us dream of being able to do the things that we don’t have time to do when we are working but sadly the reality, for many, will be very different. The real prospects will be having to work longer (which will involve covering for less productive colleagues for even longer) and having less pension than would have originally been predicted.Is there a better alternative?
Collaborate - It's the Path to Success
You might not have noticed it, but collaboration is an important trend today - whether you're a one-person business working from a home office or a large multi-national corporation. You can collaborate with your colleagues (the most obvious choice), but also with clients, suppliers and even competitors. For example, if you and a competitor offer complementary, rather than competing, products and services to the same market, this is a perfect opportunity to join forces with them to present a better solution to your market
