Hello. Gary Lockwood here again with more breakthrough ideas
and information on how to:
   Grow your business - Make more money - Have more fun.

Thank you again for referring this newsletter to your friends and
colleagues. I really appreciate you for helping to pass the word
about this newsletter.

Why is it that you often end your work day frustrated at the tasks
that didn't get done? Workplace studies have shown that the
typical executive is interrupted every 6-8 minutes throughout
the day. No wonder you can't concentrate on your top priorities!

Our guest author today, Carol Halsey, reminds us all how important
it is to have some quiet time during the day. Read more about Carol
at the end of her article.

My hope is that you use the ideas and information in these
BizSuccess Breakthroughs broadcasts to get the results you
really want.

If you want some help in putting them into practice, or if you
have questions, email or call me.

SUCCESS to You....
Gary Lockwood

P.S. Starting this month, I have openings for two new coaching
clients. A couple of projects are completed, and that makes
room for you. If you are ambitious, ready to tackle some big
achievements, and are willing to be accountable for the results
you produce, let's talk.

Coaching is not cheap, nor is it easy. If you are in charge of your
life, ready to move quickly, and can afford to invest in your future,
contact me at 909/984-3344 or at Gary@BizSuccess.com

    Quiet Time
    By  Carol Halsey

Not only is it possible, it's essential to succeed.

All during the 15 plus years that I worked as an executive assistant
to CEO's and Presidents of large corporations and small businesses,
I observed they all had several things in common.  One in particular
was, every day they would close their office door and instruct that
they not be disturbed - no visitors, no phone calls.  This period of
time would usually last for an hour, sometimes more, sometimes
less.  This was their quiet time.

If you are practicing this habit, you probably would say this is the
most productive time in your day.  If you do not take quiet time, you
are missing one of the greatest techniques of time management.

There are many ways to use quiet time -  working on a speech,
writing a report or an article, planning for future business,
identifying short and long term goals, designing a marketing
strategy, preparing an estimate or contract, or catching up on
paperwork.  It is a time to review your goals and lay out a plan
to accomplish them.

Quiet time is best utilized during your most productive time of the
day.  Schedule the time in your planner, at least one hour.  It is an
appointment you keep with yourself and are just as committed to
as an appointment with someone else.

Occasionally, circumstances or events will overrun your quiet time.
That's okay.  Try to plug that time into your schedule later in the
day. That's the beauty of allowing flex time in your daily schedule
(a subject for another article).

If you do not have an office door to close, quiet time is still
possible. Let phone calls go to voice mail or ask someone near
you to take your calls during that time.  Do them the same favor
during their quiet time.

When others approach you to talk or visit, politely explain that you
are concentrating on a very important project, and could you get
back to them later.  In most cases this works just fine.  After a
while, others will recognize when not to disturb you.  You can
also tack a Do Not Disturb sign on the entrance to your work area.

Quiet time is a very effective tool in your workbox.  By committing to
quiet time every day, you are being proactive, and taking control of
how to make the best use of your time, which is a part of being
organized.

      QUOTES To Get You Thinking
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


We would often be sorry if our wishes were gratified.
          Aesop

You can run with the big dogs or sit on the porch and bark.
          Wallace Arnold

The more I want to get something done, the less I call it work.
          Richard Bach:

I have learned to use the word "impossible" with the greatest caution.
          Werner von Braun

A new idea is delicate. It can be killed by a sneer or a yawn;
it can be stabbed to death by a joke or worried to death by a frown
on the right person's brow.
          Charles Brower

 Some Quotes
 -----------

 You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog
 will give you a look that says, "My God, you're right!
 I never would've thought of that!"
 -- Sean Connery --

 According to a new survey, women say they feel more
 comfortable undressing in front of men than they do
 undressing in front of other women. They say that
 women are too judgmental, where, of course, men are
 just grateful.
 -- Robert De Niro --

 We have women in the military, but they don't put us
 in the front lines. They don't know if we can fight or
 if we can kill. I think we can. All the general has
 to do is walk over to the women and say, "You see the
 enemy over there? They say you look fat in those
 uniforms."
 -- Elayne Boosler --

 There's a new medical crisis. Doctors are reporting
 that many men are having allergic reactions to latex
 condoms. They say they cause severe swelling.
 So what's the problem?
 -- Dustin Hoffman --

 If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten.
 -- George Clooney --

 The problem with the designated driver program is,
 it's not a desirable job. But if you ever get sucked
 into doing it, have fun with it. At the end of the
 night, drop them off at the wrong house.
 -- Jeff Bridges --
