Think Outside the Window

Why not? We are always encouraged to think outside the box, but who says there isn't a window you've been looking through for some time and wish you were outside? In that area where the grass is always greener. Where if you had just _____, and you can fill in the blank here, your business, your staff, your association, your Board, your family, etc. would truly be better, happier, wealthier, more in tune, in touch, productive, happy, all of that. This is it! Open the window. The box you are in has a window! Who knew? All this time you really thought you couldn't get out without a great deal of thinking. You have a free ticket. This is the point in time you make the decision to change it all up. To be in the moment, be creative, look for alternative ways, set your staff free to think with you, brainstorm with your partner, talk with your family, and meet with a focus group of your association to really make a difference. Today is so much further removed from 6 months ago, and, definitely, a year ago, you don't have the luxury of not making the change, opening the window and taking your business, your life, your challenges and setting the plan in motion. What does it really take? There is profit by process. Next time, more.

Customer Service

Fortunately or unfortunately I needed customer service this week for my Web site and design needs. Let me say, I was amazed. GoDaddy has great service, over the top, couldn't help enough, looked for more ways to save money and ensure I was getting all I needed. Someone use them as a model!!! If more companies realized your marketing starts internally before it really can be the best externally, profitability would prevail. I'll be back GoDaddy. I'll spread the word, I'll talk about the lady that was incredibly helpful, and further, I will provide free marketing for you as I talk about your services to my friends. Everyone, look at your companies. Starts with staff, training, leadership, accountability, bringing your whole self to work.

Why Not You?

If you could make a difference, would you? If you could change your life so much that you also positive affected other people's lives, would you? Have you lost the energy to keep yourself motivated to be the best you can be? If all that is true, what are your excuses? The businesses that will make it through this economy are the ones that are infused with the energy of the owner, the entreprenuer, the small business that is a part of the fabric of this nation. It starts with each of us caring enough about ourselves to stay on track and be the best we can be. Then share that. It is never too late. Find a business or personal coach to help you get on track whether it is me or someone else. Do it! Be the energy, you CAN make life successful. Email me. let's get going on the economic stimulus for all of us.

Leadership - there is an I in the word

Remarkable or not, as I meet with people in my business, the first and foremost need time after time is to get them on, or back on, the leadership track. If everyone believes and acts as if they really are leaders, productivity, human kindness, teams and companies certainly benefit, but it seems to be an elusive goal. Sad but true, most people do not look at themselves as leaders; moreover, they don't even think it is achieveable. Leadership is for....leaders. You know. Those people out there somewhere that are.....leaders. Although many people can easily identify that our "leaders" in public offices are not really leaders, we each forget to realize we can really be the leaders that are needed. It just means taking the challenge and running with it. It is very doable. It is so doable we MUST take on the role because our businesses and our futures depend on it. There are so few leaders that really are leading because they are not recognized as leaders, or do not ...
