APPOINTMENTS – THE IMPORTANCE OF MAKING APPOINTMENTS FOR ENTREPRENEURS


Tags: Automotive, Improvement, Legal, News, Reviews, Sports

Our businesses also differ in terms of interface with clients. If you do
“business to business” transactions, the number of people you interact with on a
daily basis may differ from someone whose business relies on interacting with
consumers. Appointments may be more practical in some instances than others. You
have to tailor-make how you manage access to your particular situation if you
are to eliminate distractions. Having said that it is important to note that
some people do not mind spending the whole day at the office entertaining
friends, visitors, and casual acquaintances dropping into the office whenever
they feel like it. Do not be that kind of person. It sets the wrong kind of
example to junior staff and can harm one’s productivity because these people
take up time that you do not have and besides you want to cultivate a
professional environment.

The demands of the day are enough to fill the eight working hours available
unless if you tend to stay back and play catch up. How do you stay competitive
in the market if there is no separation between work and play? Anybody serious
about success and achieving effective results will put boundaries that are clear
so that there is no confusion. Entrepreneurs are more susceptible to this
especially when the workplace is easily accessible. The fact that you are your
own boss even puts more responsibility on you to maintain self-discipline and
self – management. I have written a whole book called, “Achieve More through
Self – Leadership. In it I walk you through the practicalities of how you can
get better results through managing self.

Appointments are an important way of not only managing time but managing life.
They help you become more structured and productive. Some people seem not to be
able to honour their appointments. I once attended a job interview that was
supposed to start at 10:30am. By 11:30am there had been no communication about
what was happening or when the supposed job interview was going to take place. I
decided at the point that this company was probably not good enough for me to
join because if you don’t respect people’s time you probably do not respect
them.

You may be saying appointments are just not for me yet you never rock up at the
doctor, dentist, lawyer or hairstylist without an appointment. Why is that the
case? Because you simply won’t see the dentist without an appointment. They have
given you conditions acceptable to them. We tell the world around us how to
treat us by what we allow.

Some people are always available when you want to see them. If you are always
free to see people at short notice, you are probably not that organized. The one
who owns a diary will manage the one who doesn’t own one. Why? Because the one
without the diary is always available, even though he is very likely to forget
important meetings, dates and engagements because of a lack of organization. I
used to have a boss who kept a diary and whatever you promised to do in the line
of work, he would write down, including the day and time you said he would have
it by. You would of-course forget because you didn’t record it like he did and
when the time to deliver comes, guess who would be found wanting. It was then
that I decided that I do not commit to an action that I am not willing to write
down because, what’s written gets done!

You may be saying, “what if my business feeds off the “walk-ins? The fact that
your business relies on walk – in customers should not be an excuse for
disorder. Sometimes those who drop in unannounced may indeed be potential
customers, suppliers, cold-calling salespeople, and even worthwhile business
contacts. There is nothing wrong if the call is beneficial to you and your
business but I believe there must be a structure and way of doing things that
follows certain pre-set principles. I remember seeing a poster in an office that
said “if you don’t have anything to do please don’t do it here”. It’s humorous
yes, but true. Appointments help to structure your day and helps you allocate
time to what’s important. This means you can focus on your most important asset:
the paying customer. There is nothing as bad as walking into a place wanting to
do business and staff are inattentive because there is just a demand on their
time. I am more understanding if the personnel are not busy entertaining social
visits at work.

In conclusion, you know your business situation better than any of us. All we
can do is make recommendations that will enable efficiency that leads to growth.
Some of you may actually need a personal assistant who will put order in your
office and focus on the things you are not willing to do that will enable to
focus on the highly value things you ought to do such as running a business.




FIND OUT HOW SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE THINK SO YOU MAY BE SUCCESSFUL TOO


Tags: News, Pets, Shopping, Society, Sports

Do you think successful people are just plain lucky?

Successful people did not become successful because they were lucky.

They did not achieve success by accident. Being at the right place at the right
time, meeting relevant people, reading the appropriate book, did not come about
accidentally or by luck.

Luck is brought about by Labour Under Correct Knowledge.

Successful people prepared themselves. Instead of giving up on anything they
started and wanted to achieve they got stronger by learning more.

Success is a methodical, orderly and deliberate process of deciding what you
want to do with your life, what are the steps that you need to undertake to get
you there, and lastly what you will do once you get there.

One of the most important aspects, if not the most important aspect to success,
is the ability to visualise your successful outcome and stay focused on it until
you achieve it.

“Imagination is more important than knowledge, knowledge is limited.” – Albert
Einstein

Successful people understood the potential power behind knowledge, yet they also
understood that, for them to close the gap between where they are and where they
wanted to be, they would have to piece together the enigma that is most often
referred to as “life”.

They had to build a picture, a vision, of success in their mind, and then go
about taking action on creating that envisioned life.

In much the same way, you have to be serious about your present and future, you
need to have the knowledge that is required so you, too, may close the gap: you
need to be and remain determined to devote yourself to taking massive action to
build your business of succeeding in life.

You, too, will need to see the end, your dream and destiny that you desire in
your mind’s eye. It is up to you to take the necessary and relevant action to
make it all happen. It’s just like going to the doctor with a particular health
problem.

The doctor may prescribe a medication for you to take four times a day, yet he
cannot be there with you to ensure that you are taking the medication.

It comes back to deciding to be responsible for your life.

Have you noticed how it all stems from that one attitude? Being responsible for
your own life.

Your success, your being responsible 100% for you to live your dream life starts
here.

When you accept 100% responsibility for yourself and your current life
situation, you will have the power to move towards those things you truly desire
in life: which is success in all areas of your life.

This life-changing article is about possibilities and opportunities, knowledge
and tools. It will help expose your unique course in life.

It will inspire, support and motivate you to excel, to do what successful people
do, to have all that successful people have, and to become a shining example of
a successful person.

Here, you’re not being told what you couldn’t do, instead you are being told to
shoot for the stars. And above all, you are being shown how to shoot for those
stars.

“A person is what he thinks about all day long.” – Emerson

Interesting thought, wouldn’t you think? So much so, it’s worth repeating: “A
person is what he thinks about all day long.”

Success and happiness cannot happen if you possess the same old thoughts and
beliefs.

If you do not change your mind, if you do not get rid of the unsupportive
thoughts and beliefs, you will inevitably remain stuck in your old ways. Not
much, if anything, will change.

Let’s give you a quick overview on how change comes about:

Your BEHAVIOUR, how you act (or perhaps do not act), controls your success or
failure. Your ability to attain high levels of success is dependent upon your
actions and behaviours. Your results are the outcome of your behaviour. Now
let’s consider where your behaviours come from and what controls them?

Your FEELINGS command your behaviour. Every action that you take is first
filtered through your feelings that reside in your subconscious mind. How you
feel about something determines what you do and how well you do it. So where do
your feelings come from?

Your ATTITUDES create and influence your feelings. Your attitude is your
perspective from which you view life. Whatever attitude you have about anything
will affect how you feel, which, in turn, affects how you act. Where do your
attitudes come from?

Your BELIEFS create, control and influence your attitudes. What you believe
about anything will determine your attitude about it, which will create your
feelings, and then which will direct your behaviour and action. Belief patterns
are so powerful that two people who are in the same situation could perceive
things completely differently. It only requires us to believe what we see and
how we see it. We all have thousands of beliefs – big and small. And where do
your beliefs come from?

Your THOUGHTS create, control and influence your beliefs. Your thoughts are real
and are immensely powerful. Everything you accept from the outside world and
everything you feed yourself from within is a product of your thoughts.
Everything starts as a thought.

So, it goes without saying you need to learn to control your thoughts. And when
you do, you will automatically control your beliefs, your attitudes, your
feelings and, consequently, your behaviour and actions.

The big secret to success:

Learn to control your thoughts and you will influence your behaviours and
actions. It’s all a mind-set. That’s what we’ve been saying all along.

Success is predictable and is not achieved by accident.

Have the mind-set of the successful people and you will achieve success. Believe
and it is yours!

“There is a great future in front of you, you can leave your past behind.” –
Joel Osteen

Science of success experts have concluded that the brain is a goal-setting
organism.

That is fantastic news for us: for whatever goal we give to our subconscious
mind, it will work for us day and night, 24/7, to achieve it for us; to make it
a reality.

The principal breakthrough that scientists made was that we do not need to waste
our precious time and effort trying to change old thoughts and behaviours: we
just simply create new ones.

And the other discovery they made was that we can continue to create new
thoughts, new memories, new behaviours, new skills, and learn new things for as
long as we are alive on this earth.

Now, with the new discoveries in recent years, it has been scientifically proven
that our capacity to achieve and succeed literally has no limits.

Our brain has the capacity to continually learn during our entire lifetime.

Our brain can form new thoughts, can have new memories, and can learn new things
by the millions, no matter what your age is. By the millions.

That’s how many new things we can learn, that’s how many new skills we can
learn, that’s how many new thoughts we can have, that’s how many new behaviours
we can adopt.

This is encouraging because there is no limit on your capacity to achieve new
things.

No limits whatsoever for the human brain to learn, memorise, develop, achieve
and perform at higher levels than ever imagined. It makes no difference what
your age is: you are capable of learning anything new that you want to learn.

That adds to what we spoke of earlier: no more excuses.

“The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.” – Malcolm X

Your brain has the capacity to achieve way beyond what was ever thought
possible. So now is the time to break out of your limited thinking and start
dreaming big and imagining unlimited possibilities.

Becoming successful is not impossible.

It is a choice you make through a decision. Every day, step-by-step, you may
climb the mountain of success if you’ve decided to do so, if you’re committed to
accomplish what the others think impossible.

Design your future now.

Prepare to receive what you desire.

Thanks to the phenomenal advances made in cognitive science and the development
of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), personal change, personal transformation,
has come a very long way.

In fact, personal growth is no longer a mystery.

NLP has brought to light that change, transformation and growth can be fast,
reliable, and even fun. It has shown us that we do not need to spend thousands
of hours slaving away to increase our creative-thinking abilities.

By practicing a few simple exercises and applications, you can start your
creative juices flowing, and you may even amaze yourself at the quality and
quantity of good ideas that you can come up with to expedite your success.

It can allow you to achieve something you seek within days and months as opposed
to years and decades. That’s the power of the progress science has made on how
the brain works, and also how you can have your mind to be your best ally in
achieving anything you want.

Learn to live as you like by no longer living as you dislike.

Are you ready to get on the road to success and fulfilment?

Bear in mind, much like everything else in life, success requires practice and
massive, consistent action.

“Success doesn’t mean the absence of failures; it means the attainment of
ultimate objectives. It means winning the war, not every battle.” – Edwin C
Bliss


TIME FOR A NEW TRIBE? WHEN TO LEAVE OUTDATED ALLIANCES FOR A TRULY SUPPORTIVE
COMMUNITY


Tags: Health, Improvement, Insurance, Internet, Legal

Do you feel as if you’ve outgrown your circle of friends? Perhaps you do not
feel safe or understood any longer. There may be fewer and fewer things you can
share with people in your habitual circle, and it leaves you feeling lonely or
isolated. If so, you are not alone. Welcome to one of the core dynamics of
continuous growth!

As we continue to evolve, many of us struggle with a sense of not quite fitting
in with our traditional community or tribe: we may have expanded or changed
beyond the borders of tribal norms, and no longer find the same sense of
belonging there. Other members may have tightened the tribal rules to foster a
sense of security. As a result, we may feel a sense of disconnection or
alienation.

In truth, each one of us belongs to many tribes simultaneously: there is your
original tribe – the family you were born into – and then there are all the
communities of choice you have joined: your work tribe, your social circles,
your faith-based community, your neighborhood, and more. These communities are
not static; they are in continuous flux because they consist of individuals who
are in continuous states of change. When there is a lot of change happening in
either the individual or the community, a sense of dissonance results.

How are we to deal with this? First, it is important to recognize that tribal
allegiances were historically forged for survival. They were adapted over the
course of centuries to ensure the safety and survival of the group. Survival
required that individuation be sacrificed for the trade-off of security.

In modern society, the tables are flipped. Whether we enjoy it or not, change is
essential for survival at every level of being. The pace of change is driven by
technological advances and happens with increasing rapidity: sociologists
estimate that more change has taken place in society over the course of the past
100 years, than in the totality of the previous 6,000 years. Individual
adaptation now is a requirement for survival, and the pace of individual change
does not always match the pace at which our various tribal communities evolve.
The resulting dissonance can cause intense friction and pain.

Dissonance also results from confusion between the concepts of ‘connection’ and
‘community.’ We tend to equate one with the other, when they really relate to
different qualities. Connection relates to connectivity: the objective physical
technology or media that enables us to build community, but which does not
represent the quality of that community. Connectivity simply offers the
opportunity to connect with others through internet, texting, phone calls, or
any other social networking options.

Community is the result of building relationship through meaningful interaction
over time. There is no shortcut; it is a process that develops when bonds of
trust and intimacy are nurtured and honored.

And here lies a caveat: When we confuse connectivity with community, we
depersonalize the sacred nature of true community and start relating to people
as objects. Instead of developing intimacy over time, we collect friends on
social network sites or try to buy people’s allegiance. Yet friending is simply
an act of connecting; it does not create intimacy.

In fact, social experiments indicate that technologically dominated connectivity
results in alienation and social collapse over time. In a groundbreaking social
experiment conducted by Josh Harris, one of the founders of social networking on
the internet, he found that the more people’s private lives were exposed by 24/7
technology, the more their sense of intimacy and relationship deteriorated until
the community collapsed in violence and self-destructive behavior.

It is time to revisit our concepts of community so we can create tribes that
offer a true sense of intimacy and belonging.

In his 1987 book, The Different Drum: Community Making and Peace, psychologist
M. Scott Peck described several core characteristics of true community. Beyond
the obvious components of inclusivity, commitment and participatory consensus,
Peck pointed out the quality of embracing diversity through realism. When each
member contributes their unique viewpoint from a place of humility and goodwill,
the community benefits from a broader perspective in which to better grasp the
full context of a situation. In other words, mutual tolerance helps members to
embrace one another’s different viewpoints as an integral part of the whole,
instead of imposing a forced compliance to groupthink or cohesion.

In an environment like this, members experience and express compassion and
respect for one another. They allow others to share their vulnerability, to
learn and grow, and to express who they truly are. When conflict arises, they
learn to resolve it with wisdom and grace. Members listen to and respect each
others’ gifts, accept each others’ limitations, celebrate their differences, and
commit to find solutions together rather than to fight against each other.
Indeed, the true spirit of community is the spirit of peace, love, wisdom and
power. The source of this spirit may be seen as an outgrowth of the collective
self or as the manifestation of a Higher Will.

Does this description of community sound spiritual to you? It is indeed, because
Spirit is the common denominator among all of us, regardless of how separate we
feel from others.

As human beings, we often experience a socio-economic sense of separation from
others because of different opinions, beliefs, expectations, language, culture,
or interests, since each one of us expresses these in a way uniquely different
from anyone else. And still, we continue to differentiate! In this ongoing
process, we continue to evolve or devolve in response to life. A community that
felt like a good fit last year may no longer work today; the places where we
felt embraced, now may suffocate us. Over the course of a lifetime, we can
expect to outgrow and change allegiances to many of the tribal communities we
once belonged to.

And yet, when we transcend the layers of physical appearance, mental beliefs and
socio-economic conditioning, we find in the presence of Spirit a common
denominator in everyone around us. Perhaps it is time to expand our tribal
definitions to embrace a spiritual community that includes all of mankind as
children of God.

Mother Teresa admonished her nuns to see Jesus in every leper they encountered,
to find His presence as they looked into the eyes of the homeless. When we can
look past the issues that divide us to find omnipresent Divinity in each other,
we will uncover the foundations of true community.

Spiritual community transcends all socio-economic borders, beliefs and
backgrounds. It is inclusive because it operates on voluntary
self-responsibility and mutual compassion, and its doors are open to everyone.

Building this type of community takes time: time to listen, to hear, to respond
and to participate. Take a few moments to read the description of spiritual
community again. Then, make time in your life to foster that type of connection
with people who matter to you. You are one of the architects of community in
your life, and you can participate in building a tribe where you belong.


APPOINTMENTS – MANAGE YOUR TIME BETTER AT HOME TO BE EFFECTIVE


Tags: Automotive, Business, Computers, Finance, Reviews, Technology

What would happen to you if your home life was more organized than it is right
now? Can work-life balance be achieved? What are the tools at our disposal?
Could scheduling appointments and keeping them at home help us save time and
prioritize?

What is the challenge we face? I sometimes find that time spent at home can be
the busiest time, especially in the times we live in. Imagine someone working
from home, home-schooling children, and sometimes even doing a side hustle.
Imagine also the full-time home-based entrepreneur. How do they manage to do all
they need to do in a day?. We are living in a time when many entrepreneurs and
even company employees have adopted work- at – home culture. This comes with its
challenges as the lines become blurred between home and work. These blurred
lines and constraints on the limited resource called time result in over-worked,
under-rested, burnt-out individuals. Whilst good time management has been
encouraged and indeed, embraced in the workplace, I believe more needs to be
done in changing the mindset for the elusive work-life balance to be achieved.

What are the tools at our disposal? To manage time effectively at home, there
are many interventions one can employ including setting goals for the day,
prioritizing wisely, setting a time limit for every task, organizing oneself,
and instituting the discipline of appointments. Yes, an appointment at home! We
can spend time pontificating on the pros and cons of each intervention, however,
I believe we need to focus on appointments and see how this can powerfully
change the course of one’s day regardless of whether it’s a workday or weekend.
Life is busy as it is without any intrusions. The question is how do you handle
the one who announces that they are at the gate. These can be friends,
neighbors, a salesman of some product you do not even need. I am not promoting
regimentation here but rather a culture of filling your day with what’s
important. Everything that we succeed at is because we carefully plan and
execute it. I am a firm believer that you cannot manage time if you do not
manage yourself thus I implore you to incorporate planning and appointments into
your repertoire. I am not talking about something I do not do. I have to achieve
many things in a day therefore I set appointments with my work, others, and
myself.

Could scheduling appointments and keeping them on the home front help us save
time and prioritize? Whereas we have established that it is a normal business
practice to set appointments and keep them, we need to abandon the liberal
open-door policy of allowing all and sundry to have access to us as and when
they please on the home front. Please understand where I am coming from. We each
have greatness within us but for us to achieve it we need to culture great
habits. Employing the use of appointments at home and seeing only those people
you had agreed to see removes non-essential encounters especially during the
most productive hours. I know this will vary with culture, geographical region,
or even level of affluence, whether you live in a low density or high-density
residential area, but doesn’t negate the need to be organized and effective.
Controlling access determines how organized you are and how well you will work
and rest when the time for scheduled rest comes.

What do we need to do differently? We need to be disciplined and diligent, learn
to say no, now is not a good time, let’s make an appointment for next week. What
are the benefits of this approach? You are not always fire-fighting to meet
deadlines, You are not always tired because you have not taken time out to rest.
You have set aside enough time to spend with your loved ones or a loved one. If
you are a busy person, I am sure you appreciate what I am saying. Whether it’s
time to work uninterrupted, family time, or “me-time”, it takes some kind of
order to enjoy it.

I am not saying that those that come unannounced are bad people. No, not at all,
they probably are people you enjoy spending time with. Nevertheless, there must
be prior communication so that you can attend to your visitor(s) when it is
convenient for both you and them. It can be quite disrupting and a whole day can
just pass by without achieving anything that you had planned to do.

As we grow older we begin to appreciate that rest and recovery need to be
scheduled. The fact that I am relaxing doesn’t mean that I don’t have anything
to do. One therefore cannot assume that just because you are at home you are
available. Maybe you have scheduled that time to rest. That is important. You
need to make an appointment with yourself, spouses need to also set aside time
for each other. Parents need to schedule a time to spend with their children.
When you have some sort of order in your life you determine who sees you and who
you see. It also means that your relationships will be healthy and that makes
you a happier person.

In conclusion, I believe that the work-life balance can be achieved. There are
many tools at our disposal just like it is in the workplace.I believe we could
do more and be happier if we are disciplined enough to make only the commitments
we can keep.I am certain that setting appointments and keeping them at home help
us save time and prioritize.
