The Time In Between

I spend a good deal of each day working with developing leadership processes or talking with people about leadership and realizing with each person and day just how many people are only vaguely familiar with what being a leader actually means. Admittedly, I am a geek for reading, writing, learning, practicing, working the plan, etc. about leadership. Truly, though, getting your game on about leadership and working it from processes to communication will truly make a difference in your success - personnally and professionally. It is the new thing. The latest fad. The way many describe themselves because it is what you need to be, or so all the business books say. But really, in between all that, if we can all just take a few minutes to really look at what it means to be a leader, really do the things leaders do, really take time to think about and live leadership, we would all be far more successful. Time for congress to do that. Time for government to do this. Time to take the few moments in between the sound bites, the press releases, the memos and the tweets to really examine who we all really are. Be a leader. Really.

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.

No Time Outs

Its usable in sports, acceptable as one of the rules, and also in tag when you were a kid. Time out. Don't you wish you could get some time out to think, be creative, chill for awhile, have everything in the world stop and give you some moments to gather your thoughts and energy? Really? Why wouldn't we? In the middle of thinking through a huge decision that means using your resources to market, to spend time on Social Media, to use a chunk of change to upgrade the technology for your company ~ you name it ~ wouldn't you really like a time out? Not today. Not tomorrow. Decisions at the speed of sight. Snooze you lose. All those euphemisms. My advice? Stay on it. Use your time wisely. Work smarter, not harder. Work to keep marketing and part of all that you do, but also teach everyone in your company they are part of the sales staff, the marketing department and the customer service. Today you are being branded every nano second by your customers and your st...
