Businesses are taking advantage of images to extremely quickly tell a story and how their product(s) will enhance the life of the users. Brands are sharing well thought images to provoke and promote their audiences’ engagement as well as attract new customers or clients.
Would your Audience Listen to You and Take Action?
Speaking is a very serious business, and you should never underestimate the need to practice. My father gave thousands of sermons in his life. Even at his level of knowledge and experience he never skipped spending hours in preparing and rehearsing his weekly message. Practice will enable to deliver your comments the exact way you have planned and to deliver your story and the call to action with grace and inspiration.
How to Achieve a Viable Outcome?
Time and Size are of equal importance. Set the most reasonable time to achieve the result. Do not rush; do not procrastinate. Remember to set “Achievable Time Frames” and benchmarks. The result should be big enough to have value but also custom-sized to your abilities. Both time and size should be set in advance.
A Great Article on Aligning Your Time with Your Goals
The question should always be this: Do you spend enough quality time to move your core goals forward each day? How would you succeed in not only scheduling, but actually spending the needed time to accomplish the items that are most important (and usually not urgent), especially when these are the items that will move you by leaps and bounds into a bright future?
The Importance of Time Management in Achieving a Work-Life Balance
Discipline is the key to success; “excuse” is the enemy. Do you want to always live under pressure and jeopardize your success, happiness and most importantly your health? Record the activities (beginners do this daily-if seasoned, you can plan weekly or even monthly) in writing and let your accountability partner know.
It Is Time to Quit!
Quit blaming Time for your lack of Productivity. Everyone is given the same number of hours every day. The poor do not get fewer hours; the rich are not blessed with extra. Einstein did not invent more time for himself, and no one can save time for another day. And don’t beat yourself up, we all have committed the crime of wasting time.
The TOP 3 Tips for Time Management. #1, The Daily Night Cap.
Before I pack up for the day and close shop, I take a few minutes and jot down the Top 3 Items that I need to accomplish in order to really move my business forward. These items are not visions or ideas, but short-term, achievable, actionable steps that will move my goals to the next plateau. I might repeat an item multiple days sometimes, but I’m clear on what part should be completed each day. It is important to schedule time to complete these Top 3 items – hopefully in about 4 hours time.
Is Your Body Language Significant to your Employees’ Interaction?
Use Eye Contact to convey confidence, attention, and interest. What do the employees see? To begin with, your clothing must represent your position. I always preached a firm and yet friendly handshake (see previous blog); your grip must be firm but not tight; two shakes with a sincere smile while maintaining eye contact. Be aware of your posture; it should air of confidence and interest-involvement in the conversation.
An Accountability Partner: Try it on for size.
By the very definition of insanity (doing the same thing over and over again and expect different results), we should all stop repeating the same old patterns and start following through. Well, How? The best way, I found, is Accountability. Find yourself an Accountability Partner.
Do you have Mission Statement?
An important aspect of the Mission Statement for you to consider is whether to emphasize your long-term goals, what you expect for the future, or short- term goals, meaning where your company is now heading. A long-term statement should be a broader view, which will outlast immediate changes. For the short-term you should expect to revise your statement periodically as your company grows and evolves. An outdated Mission Statement can have a negative impact on your business.
