Suggest You - Skip the Resolutions!
Are you ready to start your residential cleaning service? Once you've purchased the supplies and equipment, obtained the necessary insurance, and hired your crew you will be looking for clients. Your cleaning customers will have questions for you - everything from the training you give your employees to your rates to what they should do with their pets when you come to clean. Following are questions you should be prepared to answer:1) Can I trust your company? Ar

There are entertainment industry jobs available for just about anyone who wants to be an extra in a movie. Extras are always needed for every kind of films, and a specific look is not always required. Producers will be interested in all types of people, and though most of these entertainment industry jobs do not have speaking parts, they do give people without necessarily any type of acting ability a chance to participate.When we’re young an
To be honest, I'm not exactly a fan of resolutions - really, what's so different about December 31 than January 1 that's going to make a dramatic difference in whether or not you keep your resolutions? If you just have a list of things you'd like to accomplish, well, the answer is 'not much'. But if you have a PLAN to go along with your list, well, that can make ALL the difference.
What I've done for the past several years, as part of a much larger strategic planning process, is create what I call My Simple Business Plan. It includes just 4 goals that I want to achieve in my business within the next year. I review the previous year's goals before setting down the next set for the upcoming year, and what I've found from doing this process over and over is this: I've reached AT LEAST those 4 goals within the year (and usually qutie a few more). How? Because those were the ones I created a plan around to achieve.
So even though 4 goals may not seem like a lot, if it's 4 more than you usually reach, wouldn't that feel great? :)

Yes this is an article on selling not about buying a large rural property. I'm referring rather to the nature of salespeople, the hunter nature of the majority and farmer nature of the rest. Everyone who sells feels most comfortable in one camp or the other. A small percentage of salespeople excel in both. These are the true masters.Having been a salesperson, as well as a sales manager and trainer for over 35 years, there is no doubt in my mind that the majority of s

Shredders are available for rent. Many companies have the need of huge industrial shredders that shred 20,000 pounds of paper or more in an hour. Shredders of that size are too big to fit into an average office. In such circumstances, renting a shedder is a way out.Shredder rentals usually provide locked bins at your premises. You fill up the bins with everything that is to be shredded. When the bins are full, the workers of the rental company arrive with a truck mou

“Never underestimate your competition.” Today, that old business adage holds more meaning than ever, but many companies do not take time to objectively assess their company or products and compare them to their adversaries in the marketplace. Worse yet, some companies even feel that their products have no competition. Though it can be daunting to look at the realities of your market, understanding your competitive business environment is critical when planning for your co

As a natural part of my empowerment consulting practice, I often find myself in discussions with my clients about their jobs and careers. Sometimes we talk about new jobs or job opportunities; sometimes we talk about promotions; sometimes we talk about careers over the long-term.These are all very different types of conversations. Most of my clients who are in corporations are mid-level to senior-level managers, who are competent and have already proven their value
This year, instead of creating resolutions for your business, try the following steps to create your own Simple Business Plan:
1. Create your 1 year vision
One of my favorite exercises is creating a vivid vision of what I want my life to look like over the next year. I include anything and everything I can think of, letting my imagination run wild while my fingers try to keep up with my mind.
If you've done this or a similar exercise before, review what you've written previously. Acknowledge the progress you've made, but don't get stuck on the goals you didn't reach either. Move forward with your new or revised goals for the future.
2. Choose a theme
Usually from the 1-year vision exercise, a theme will immerge about what seems most right to focus on over the next year. It may be finances, relationship-building, or a specific piece of my marketing efforts that I want to implement or increase.
3. Choose 4 goals to focus on within that theme
Choose one goal that follows the overarching theme of your year to work on each quarter. For example, if your theme is 'increase market reach', your first quarter goal may be to get exposure in a media outlet you haven't tapped yet. Your second quarter goal may be to develop 3 new strategic alliances.
4. Break down each Quarterly Goal into monthly, weekly and daily tasks
Now that you know what you want to focus on each quarter, figure
