Agitators In The Office
Rob hangs around when others are talking, always lingers a little after meetings, and just starts talking when people are working. His game is to get people talking whether they want to talk or not.Once people are talking, he jumps in or says something like, 'I could not help hearing what you were talking about.' Of course, he could help it. He made a point to hear. Nonetheless, he now expresses his opinion. Whatever the topic, he has an opinion.<

How Non-Quality Data Can Cost Money
IntroductionWhen viewed from a high level, the cost of poor quality data can affect a company’s bottom-line in two ways. First, there’s the cost of scrap and rework, and second, missed opportunities.An example of scrap and rework costs might be when an agent errs in recording a customer’s address details, and consequently a marketing premium is sent to the wrong address. Later, the customer calls to complain.The

One of the strategies I teach to PULL your business forward, almost effortlessly, is to create a powerful vision for your business. My private clients have found this exercise to be both motivating and inspiring, and I'm certain you will too.

Once a year, I take a short retreat to work on revising my vision for my business (and my life). This is an annual break I take away from my business (but with my family, although some of my clients prefer to go it alone, which is perfectly fine) to really think about and decide what I want the next 1 to 3 years to look like. I write my vision and I create a whole bunch of goals for my business. I also use this time to talk with my husband about my vision and goals. He is a great sounding board for all the ideas I come up with... and we usually have this conversation while hanging out on the beach... :)

Being near the water definitely has some powerfully positive effects on my brain, and I always come away from this retreat with a renewed sense of energy and passion for my work. (This was my view at this year's retreat in Aruba - breathtaking, isn't it?)

Creating a powerful vision is your first step on your path to imagineering your own success. Knowing where you are going will make the journey that much easier and faster, as well as simply more enjoyable.

Here are two steps to get you started...

Step 1: Book your retreat Book a 2-3 day retreat so that you can work intensively on your detailed 1 to 3 year vision. Get a very clear picture of where you intend to be 3 years from now. Book the time to do this. Make the commitment now.

I have booked the following dates for my vision retreat:________________.

Step 2: While on your retreat, answer the following questions: What do you want your life to look like in 1 year? In 3 years? What is your inspiring and compelling vision for the future? For your business? For your personal life?

The truth is that you can design the perfect life and you can design the perfect business. How does it sound to you to be earning 6-figures a year, working less than part-time? It doesn't have to be just a dream - it is most definitely achievable. It won't happen overnight, but - with some planning and hard work - it can be a reality sooner than you think.

A few notes for your vision retreat:

You don't have to go (far) away to go on your retreat. Go wherever you feel most creative and inspired, and where you are least likely to be interrupted.

Some people think and write better in silence, while others think and write better when there is a lot going on around them. Choose whatever works for you.

Over Regulation in the US is Hurting American Business and Consumers
Many folks believe that all business people and CEOs are greedy Machiavellian types and should be arrested. It is amazing how few people take everything for granted without realizing that it was the businesses and entrepreneurs who have brought in everything you see, everywhere you go. It is Over Regulation in the US that is truly hurting consumers.What is interesting is that with over lawyering and over regulation we are defeating ourselves. The Rule

The Time Dimension - Presented Versus 1991 Zip Codes
An important object to keep in mind about ZIP code finder is that they change over time. In some cases these change can be quite amazing, but more frequently they are small and subtle. When a ZIP code changes its definition it does not change its name like a census zone. The ZIP code that was called '63301' in St. Charles County, Mo in 1985 has since been broken into first two and now three ZIP codes. These new codes were not called 63301.01, 63301.02 and 63

Before you begin to write, close your eyes and really see in your mind's eye how you want your entire life to be. For example, see your dream home. Is it a large home or something more cozy? Do you live on the ocean or near the mountains? Or are you in a fantastic apartment in the middle of NYC? Write about it in detail - and don't hold back! Do the same for your business: Do you want a waiting list of clients? Or do you want to stop working one-on-one and move to working with groups only? Do you want to implement at least three new streams of income? Do you want to write your first print book? Do this for all the other parts of your life as well - for the tangible things (like your home, your car, your vacations, etc.) to the intangible (like who you want in your life, how you will give back, etc.).

Get the picture? Once you have written your vision, I promise you'll be really excited and motivated towards making that vision your reality!
