Ten Healthy Habits to Improve Your Firm's Performance
As you launch into this new year, consider these resolutions.
Taking action on any of these could transform your enterprise
and your life.
** Resolve to get wired
Businesses of all shapes and sizes are flocking to the Internet,
the fastest-growing communications medium in history. Use of
the Internet and the World Wide Web can be a cost-effective addition
to your arsenal of competitive weapons. Don't wait. Resolve to get
your enterprise in some form of ecommerce this year. Companies
worldwide are finding out you can reduce marketing costs,
increase revenues and improve service using the Internet.
The world is moving fast. Plug into it today.
** Resolve to expand your comfort zone
Each of us has our own personal comfort zone. Some would call
it "a rut". Staying in your comfort zone can be very limiting. The
world passes us by as we stagnate. If we are not learning, trying
new things and growing, our jobs and businesses may be
deteriorating. Make a list of 50 things that, if you really were
successful in doing them, you would be a better person or a
better company. Things like give a speech (oh no!), write and
publish an article, start an exercise program, meditate daily,
teach a class, feed a homeless person, volunteer, climb a
mountain, learn to play a new musical instrument, sign up
for a dance class, try for that promotion, and so on.
Then, from your list, choose one or two that you are willing to do
within the next 90 days. Schedule those one or two new activities,
then go for it. Afterward, choose one or two more and do it again.
Make personal and professional growth a lifelong habit.
** Resolve to get better clients
Most businesses take on any client who steps up with the money.
Consider the cost to you for dealing with the people you serve.
Have you ever noticed that some people make you feel good just
to be around them? These are the people who give you energy
when they are near you. On the other hand, there are probably
others you can think of who drain all the life out of you. Which
clients would you rather have? You can surround yourself with
people who are pleasant, easy to deal with, interesting and, oh
yes, profitable. Get better clients. You deserve it.
** Resolve to get organized
Too much going on?.... Not enough time?.... Sound familiar?
How would you like to have more time for what YOU want to do?
Resolve this year to plan your days, reduce interruptions, clean
off your desk, say "No", make lists. The benefits of getting more
organized include being more effective at your work, having more
positive control of your workstyle, saving time and money, improving
your professional image with clients, bosses, etc. and controlling
the stress.
** Resolve to be a rainmaker
I've seen many people who sat around waiting for rain. They would
wait by the phone, hoping a prospective client would call or come
to the business. Others, including some of the most successful,
took positive action to "make it rain". These are the ones who made
calls, ran ads, got out of the office to make their own contacts.
Through their activity, these business professionals created oppor-
tunities for new business. More clients, more revenue, better client
relationships and happier employees are just a few of the advantages
you'll realize when you take business-building action for your
enterprise.
** Resolve to cleanup loose ends
We all have messes in our lives. Messes are incomplete tasks,
disorder, disarray, or conflicts that distract you and cause you to
lose energy, break your concentration and reduce self-esteem.
Messes can include cluttered desks, relationships gone awry,
physical well-being, finances, incomplete agreements and legal
issues. Every time you eliminate a loose end, you boost your
confidence, increase concentration, and feel a surge in energy.
For the coming year, target a mess a month.
** Resolve to focus on your strengths
Conventional wisdom says we should work on improving our
weaknesses. What a terrible waste of time, talent and opportunity!
Highly successful entrepreneurs, as well as top scientists, artists,
athletes and entertainers throughout history have achieved great-
ness by focusing on their areas of strength. Everybody has a natural
aptitude in some areas. No matter how hard you try, it is unlikely
you will ever be more than average in areas where you do not have
an aptitude.
Working on your weaknesses undermines your self-esteem since
you will focus mostly on your deficiencies. Developing your natural
talents is rewarding and motivating, allowing you to continually
realize higher and higher levels of ability, achievement and
success. This year, experience the immense satisfaction that
comes with being superb at something.
** Resolve to take more free time
Free time isn't a reward for working hard; it's necessary for optimum
performance and productivity. We need free time, away from the
business, to rejuvenate ourselves. When you are aggressive about
getting rest and relaxation, regularly and frequently, you'll see
increased creativity and productivity. The more free time you take,
the more creativity and productivity you will experience. To make
breakthroughs in income, productivity and creativity, significantly
increase the amount of free time away from your business.
** Resolve to develop stronger business relationships
Your economic future is dependent on other people's future. Your
success in your enterprise is based on the extent that you help
other people to succeed in their lives. Ask every person you
encounter what he or she wants to have accomplished three years
from now. Focus on finding ways to help others in achieving their
goals. By adding value to their preferred future, you not only deepen
your relationship; you also create huge opportunities for yourself.
** Resolve to get in better shape
Take a hike. Or a jog, swim, or bike ride. With few exceptions, those
who are consistently successful have lots of energy. They have the
stamina and the energy to be creative, to tirelessly serve their
clients,to put in the extra effort when necessary and to go the
extra mile for their employees. The bottom line is that regular,
strenuous exercise is good for business, because it's good for
you. You can increase your well-being, jump-start your days,
boost your confidence, turbo-charge your creativity, and knock
down stress by exercising consistently.
And that's not all. Think of exercise as your gift to yourself and to
your loved ones. A gift of longer life, more energy, happier
disposition, increased creativity and reduced pain. You can
increase your well-being, jump-start your days, boost your
confidence, turbocharge your creativity, and knock down stress
by exercising consistently.
Start by exercising your free will. Commit to any of these ten
Resolutions and make this a great year!

Everyone has his day and some days last longer than others.

Pigs treat us as equals.

THE FUNNIES
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Stop by our website every day to see the Business Cartoon
of the Day by Ted Goff. http://www.bizsuccess.com/cartoon.htm
------------
Meeting The Neighbors
----------------------
Over dinner, a woman said to her husband, "I met this horrible
and rude man downtown this morning, and right away I knew he
was a troublemaker. He started to insult me; he used really bad
language; he even threatened me!"
"How did you meet this fellow?" He asked, very concerned.
She said, "Well, we met by accident, I hit him with the car."
The Sales Pitch
---------------
Despite his best sales pitch, a life insurance salesman was unable to
get a couple to sign up for a policy. "I certainly don't want to
frighten you into a decision," he announced, standing up to leave.
"Please sleep on it tonight, and if you wake up in the morning, let
me know what you think."
Honeymoon Breakfast
-------------------
The first morning after the honeymoon, the husband got up early,
went down to the kitchen, and brought his wife her breakfast in
bed. Naturally, she was delighted. Then he spoke: "Have you noticed
just what I have done?"
"Of course, dear. Every single detail!"
"Good. That's how I want my breakfast served every morning."
