Read MoreCareful… you may have missed your checkpoint!
One of the most common factors keeping people from really succeeding in business is setting UNmanageable goals.

If the “smart” formula never quite produces the results you want…

Read MoreNeed a quick work-life balance fix?
It’s hard to achieve work-life balance when your business requires you to do more, faster and with less help… Yet, if you want to be truly productive and effective in your business, you need to recharge your batteries and restore balance in your life. Here are some practical ideas:
- Always transition to a nonworking mindset. It’s important that you mentally “close the business door” at the end of the day. Don’t take your work home and don’t share your personal issues with clients.
- Go for a run… or simply take a walk. Taking a walk after work will help you to reset your mind and get ready to spend time with your family.
- Change your clothes. When you are with your family you need to stop thinking like a business owner and start thinking like a mum, dad or a partner. Changing your clothes can be an easy way of making the transition.
- Keep ‘work-talk’ short. Spend a few minutes of “how was your day” sharing with your spouse and kids, but don’t over do it. One way of having a successful business is to maintain a balanced life. Your work is important and so is your life.
- Use voicemail. When it’s ‘family time’ or ‘me time’ don’t answer the phone. Turn your voicemail on, and let it take your calls. For this to work you need to have a professionally recorded message. And, don’t forget to return customer calls promptly.
As Lao Tzu once said: “In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don’t try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present.”

Read MoreNew Year’s resolution to improve your results in 2010…
A New Year is the best time for breaking old habits and making a fresh start. Albert Einstein said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. So, if you were not happy with some of the results you produced in 2009 then it makes sense to change your approach for next year.
Peak performance experts agree that the way you move and use your body affects how you feel. And, as you know, your thoughts and feelings ultimately shape your actions/behaviour. Part of your New Year’s resolution could be for you to work on improving your PHYSIOLOGY in 2010. That’s especially important if you do a lot of sitting down at your desk or computer as maintaining a proper posture is critical to improving your productivity and results.
Setting income goals for a new year is obviously important but so are goals to improve your health/general well being. That’s why you need to maintain optimal physiology, since bad physiology will affect your performance and results in 2010.
Recently, I came across Cornell University Ergonomics Web website that deals with an interesting subject they call ‘ergotecture’ – it’s what you do to improve your productivity, comfort and health when sitting down…
5 distinctions to put fast cash into your pocket!
Distinctions or ideas can literally turn your business around (many times even…) overnight. People go on a diet to look good, and I think you need to feed your mind with powerful distinctions on a regular basis if you want your bottom-line to be healthy. I was looking through one of my distinctions books and found 5 awesome ones that could improve the results in your business THIS WEEK. I also want to share something with you at the end of this post…
Here are the 5 distinctions – how many can you apply to YOUR business TODAY?
Use accolades to get MORE business.
Winning an award can be a fantastic opportunity for you to enhance your credibility, build pre-eminence, and attract new business.
Perhaps you have won an award or two in the past for brilliant marketing, outstanding business excellence, or for a witty advertising campaign. Here are some ideas to help you make your award go an extra mile or two for you…
- Write a press release about the award and send it to www.myprgenie.com; www.prweb.com; or, www.prleap.com (the biggest benefit to you is EXTRA exposure and an increase in traffic to your website). This is a great idea provided you’ve won it recently.
- Create an article that looks like a newspaper article on you winning the award, and post/email the article to clients and prospects.
- The next time you are at the airport waiting for your flight, buy 20 postcards and post them to customers and prospects WITH the article or the PR.
- Use the ‘award-winning-story’ as a credibility-building para in your ads, emails, and sales letters.
- Tell people about the award on your website – particularly the ‘About Us’ page.
- Share the news on your blog.
- Also, don’t forget to frame it and hang in your office.
Your prospects and clients probably don’t care about you winning the award, but they WANT to know what you do behind the scenes to make sure you deliver greater service and value to them. You will probably be more effective if you tell your story using that angle. Then KEEP telling the story over and over. Sounds easy.
Hope this post will help you turn your award into a marketing piece that delivers real impact and boosts your sales.
Someone once said: “Although an amateur will be satisfied with an award, a pro will milk it for all its worth.” Food for thought…
