Add You - Taking Stock: Time to Re-examine your Goals
As a seeker of solitude in my busy entrepreneurial workday, I use yoga, Pilates, a good old-fashioned run in the park, and anything else I can think of to calm my nerves and keep my head clear and focused. I have worked hard to keep my body fit and my business running smoothly. I have also found that the same principles used in the meditation practiced during yoga can be used to strengthen my business.While meditating during a yoga class several years ago, the instructo

When you decide if your employer is a good fit, you may want to look deeper than the company name, you may want to "investigate the boss!"The importance of a good fit in your career is an understatement. As you put your career in the hands of your employer, you must know what you are stepping into before you begin. In this series of articles we will explore some of these issues:1. Should you put your career in anyone's hands but your own? 2. Is it better to
I’ve noticed a trend when it comes to goal setting. This is what it looks like:
*
Beginning of the year starts out strong. Goals are set and pacts are made to reach those goals.
*
Over the course of the next month or two the business shifts focus and you are off and running in a completely different direction.
*
A few more months go by and you settle into the same routine you’ve been in for the past few years.
*
Two more months go by so fast you don’t even notice they’ve past.
*
The end of the year rolls around and you realize you are in the same spot you were this time last year, but…
...this year is going to be different. You know why? You’re starting to read this article. If you continue reading you’re guaranteed to grow your awareness of how important it is to review your goals and objectives on a regular basis.

Ok, Here's the question. Is being self-employed all that it's cracked up to be? Ask anyone what they think about people who are self employed and I will guarantee you that the first response will be that they are all "rich". Yup, it's true, every self employed person is rich or suppose to be, baloney! Now, ask that same question of a dozen self-employed entrepreneurs and I bet you that you will hear twelve different responses.Before working for the "man", I was self-em

The business people in smart clothing sit around a small table and sip their coffee chatting about everything from the latest mergers to their son’s little league game. Even though these people are enjoying themselves, they aren’t here to waste away their time in idle chat. Like true entrepreneurs they are here to further their businesses agendas. With each sip of coffee they get to know each other better and are able to make those special connections that result in either a sal

A combination of those results can also be a 2,000 percent solution.When first creating a 2,000 percent s

Make-You-Happy Action Teams (MAT) plays a critical role in managing employee retention. This is Z-Theory management. To briefly sate, Z-Theory management means everyone that is effected by a decision for the company gets a “say” or a “vote” in the decision (tons more on Z-Theory Management in another article).This means employees are directly involved in decision making that affects them. When they make decisions that directly affect them, they stay around longer! Pretty
There’s a Harvard study that brings the point home:
Harvard did a study of their own graduates’ goal setting. Over a period of thirty years they found that only three percent (3%) of the population surveyed actually wrote down their goals. Those who had set goals and had written the goals down made 2-3 times more money than those without goals. Those who took it one step further and carried their goals with them at all times made 10 times more money than everyone else.
Imagine the success you can have if you write down your goals and focus on them regularly! Powerful!
From personal experience I can attest to the power of writing and reviewing goals. I have accomplished every career goal I’ve set out to achieve, some sooner than I thought possible. The goals are written down and reviewed regularly. All of my business goals are written down. They are reviewed regularly, not just by me, but with an advisory board as well. Huge!
Take stock. Examine and Re-examine. On-going awareness gives you a greater chance of reaching the goals than if you articulate them once and never come back to th
