How to Build and Implement Strategies to Achieve Personal and Professional Goals For Success
By: John Chilton
When someone tells you: “you need to set goals in your life” , you probably cringe and feel like it’s just a motivational phrase. However, the best way to achieve success in your life IS to set attainable goals for yourself. “I’m going to work out 4 times this week instead of 3….”, “I’ll put in a few more hours to get this project finished early….”, “I’ll pay a little extra each month and get it paid off faster…” are all small examples of how you set goals in your personal and professional lives and a lot of the time don’t really notice that you’re doing it.
Every goal needs a plan. Some goals will need less planning than others. You probably won’t need to create a complex strategy for working out one extra day a week, but it does require organizational planning. You’ll have to decide if you’ll go before or after work. Decide whether to shower there or shower after at home. You’ll need to figure out what equipment to bring each day. These are just a few requirements of achieving that particular goal. This is where organizational planning can be used to make the whole process of achieving each goal easier and more importantly more efficient. (more…)
Our new games teacher decided to find out which of us girls could jump the highest. She explained that we would jump over a mental bar that would be raised after each jump. As each girl failed to clear the bar she would be out of the competition. The last girl in the competition would be the winner.
Immediately two girls became upset and said that they “didn’t want to jump” because the metal bar might hurt their legs. They were excused and the rest of us began. I asked myself “how far am I likely to get in this competition”? I decided that I would probably stay in the competition until a little after the halfway point. There were as I remember about twenty-two of us. So as two people didn’t compete that meant there would be around eight left in the competition at the time that I dropped out. My prediction was amazingly accurate. (more…)
Even during a recession, business keeps getting done. The question really is whether or not you are going to shift your mindset to one who leverages opportunity instead of someone victimized by the winds of chance. If you’re like most people, you would rather shift than suffer.
Here are some tips on how you can identify great business opportunities and begin to apply them to your life so you can enjoy success because of, instead of in spite of, the economic challenges of the day.
• Look for industries that everyone needs regardless of their economic situation
By identifying industries that need help providing the day to day services that everyone needs – food, shelter, clothing, day to day amenities of sustenance, and health care – you will likely find ways to either find a job or identify a market you can serve with your talents.
• Find companies that offer products for managing tough economic times
Look for companies that supply temp workers, handle business liquidations, or provide comfort items such as counseling services. They are all going to need help for the extra business they are flooded with.
• Try brokering excess inventories through barter or trade (more…)

Dress for Success: 3 Proven Tips To Look Like A Winner
By: Michael Lee
It’s important for people to know how to dress for success. How you look has a lot to do with how other people perceive you, and how you perform at work. When you look like a million dollars, you’ll be more productive. People will generally be more receptive to you and your ideas as well.
If you want to learn some helpful dress for success tips, keep on reading!
Dress For Success Tip # 1: Neat and Crisp
Everything about you must be neat and crisp. From head to toe, people will be looking at you. The higher your rank, the more important it is to adhere to an appropriate dress code.
All shirts must be ironed. No wrinkles allowed. Avoid stains on them as well. That’s what napkins are for.
Keep your face clean. Guys, remove unruly facial hair. I know some people prefer to have a beard or moustache to look like a “real” man, and I understand that. However, make sure facial hair suits you first and keep it under control.
Dress For Success Tip # 2: All in the Details (more…)
Every year thousands of men and women across America sign on with direct selling firm-Tupperware, Amway, or a cosmetic company-hoping to make money enough for new draperies, a new davenport, or some new clothes. They sell a little merchandise to a few relatives and close friends. Then they are through. They quit before they give themselves a chance to learn the basics of success in sales. “I am simply not a born salesperson,” they often say.
No one is born a salesperson, any more than one is born a doctor or born a lawyer. Sales is a profession. To be successful in any profession one must learn not only the basic techniques, but also how to apply those techniques. Success in sales makes use of all the abilities one is born with, plus all those acquired through education and experience.
If you are looking for a career opportunity or “extra income” to help with the family budget, direct selling offers you dream-fulfilling possibilities. However, you must give yourself time to learn the techniques of sales. Ask yourself. “How long does a doctor to be study? A lawyer to be study?”
