What Is Law of Attraction and How to Use It in Your Life?
y Sakesare Khan | Submitted On June 03, 2012
The Law of Attraction is among the most ancient universal laws. It just means to depict that whatever circumstances we face in our life are the result of what we thought in our past. Thoughts dominate our mind, they have to manifest in our life. The circumstances we face, the people we meet, the relationships we make, the money we make, the house we live in; these all are the outcome of what we have been thinking with little bit more concentration or simply saying what we have been thinking the most. Have you ever observed when you get angry or frustrated in the morning, it often happens that your whole day sucks. The "whole day sucks" is a phenomena that is happening because we attracted it in the morning. What is Law of Attraction?
The law of attraction is a belief or theory, that "like attracts like," and that by focusing on positive or negative thoughts, one can bring about positive or negative results. Speaking shortly I will define the law of attraction in one line: "What we think, we manifest" It's simple. We attract in our daily life with our thoughts and feelings. For example, if we keep thinking that we have no money in our bank account, we will be attracting "no money" in our life. Similarly if we feel like depressed due to workload or other anxieties, we will be welcoming more "depression and anxieties". So we are using this universal law all the time whether we know it or not. Things happening in our daily life are due to this law of attraction. What Science says? Thomas Troward, who was among the big guns of the New Thought Movement, claimed that: "Thought precedes physical form and that "the action of Mind plants that nucleus which, if allowed to grow undisturbed, will eventually attract to itself all the conditions necessary for its manifestation in outward visible form." Later on metaphysicians also supported the existence of the law of attraction in our daily life. After that the arrival of the book "The Secret" brought up a great revolution in the societies and religious beliefs. So The Law of Attraction is much 3/15/2021 What Is Law of Attraction and How to Use It in Your Life? https://ezinearticles.com/?What-Is-Law-of-Attraction-and-How-to-Use-It-in-Your-Life?&id=7099350 2/3 more the game of your mind set. If you are sincerely able to abide by the principals of the law, you will discover that you can get anything in your life that you love to achieve. How to Use Law of Attraction: As I told you earlier that "What we think, we manifest".
What we are going to keep in our mind and concentrate on it, we are actually bringing it in the process of manifestation. Using law of attraction is very easy if you keep a firm belief on your thoughts and visualization. Here I will teach you how you can use the law of attraction in your life to get anything you desire to achieve. It consists of only three steps: 1. Ask 2. Feel 3. Give Ask: The first step is desire what you want in your life. Definitely you cannot get money if you have not planned to get it. Similarly you will not go for vacation in Spain until you have not planned it. So asking is the first step towards using law of attraction in your life. Sit down, take a pen and paper, relax and think what you desire in your life. Write down everything that comes into your mind whether it's lot of money, a good life partner or whatever... just note it on the paper. Once you have prepared the list of your dreams (wishes), proceed to the next step that is 'feel'. Feel: Once you have prepared a list of all of your desires, you have instructed your mind to get ready to achieve. Now start feeling like you have everything in your life that is on that piece of paper (your desires note) and already be grateful for it. If you wrote that you want a lot of money then from now onwards, start feeling like you have lot of money in your account. Bring up that joy in you when you have $100000 in your account. Feel like you have a perfect partner in your life and you are living a prosperous life. So start imagining that you have access of everything that you have written on that piece of paper and feel gratitude for this abundance.
What happens here that the universe begins to listen to your these consistent thoughts and the manifestation process comes into being. So the main theme of this step is: "What you want to achieve in your life, feel like you already have it" Give: The last step in the completion of the law of attraction is "to give". There is a principle in this whole process that states: "The more you give, the more you get back" So give from whatever you have in your life. If you can give happiness to someone, go ahead. If you have money, give it without worrying about the amount. Many people get stuck on this step and have some doubts in their minds and they are right at it. As a common person we think that dividing something reduces it. But it is opposite in the law of attraction. This law states that if you give something to someone, you shall get it back multiplied. The question is "How is it possible?" The answer is quite simple and logical.
During the give process, you think like you have a lot of something say its money, and you give some money to others. This feeling of abundance ignites the second process that is 'Feel'. So when giving, feel like you already have abundance of it and you shall have abundance of it. So 'give' process helps in firming your belief that you already have abundance of everything. This is so Easy!! This is what law of attraction states.. Ask, feel and give. So the crux of this law lies in your thoughts. Negative thoughts will bring up negative circumstances and vice versa. So start using the law of attraction in your life from now onwards. In the beginning it will take some time to control your thoughts and keep them positive but gradually you will start to have grip over your thoughts and things will start working as the law of attraction will come into action. Its you who can change your life right now and forever. So go ahead and take advantage of this law and be happy. Good luck. Using Law of Attraction within Hours.

5 Keys To A Successful Mindset In Business
By Jon Allo | Submitted On November 06, 2019
When it comes to having success in business, it might well be that your mindset has more to do with your success or failure than you realize. You also may have a negative mindset and not be aware of it. Here are some keys to achieving and keeping a successful business mindset.
1. Focus Focus is definitely a key to a successful mindset. Continually remind yourself of what your business is about, what its purpose is, and why you're doing it. Keep focusing on your goals by having them somewhere that you can see them.
2. Self-assessment To achieve a successful mindset, you need to ferret out that negative mindset you may not even know you have. Here are some things to watch out for that may indicate a negative mindset: Having excessive back-up plans and being over-cautious may mean you are doubtful about your success. Safety nets are understandable, but they can become a tempting escape when things are less than perfect. To be successful, you need to press through those imperfect times, not run from them. Believe you deserve it. You may think that you really don't deserve to succeed in business. You just aren't "that type." To be successful, though, you need to believe you are that type! Uncertainty can be a manifestation of a negative mindset - you are not sure of yourself. There are resources out there; you can learn what you need to succeed. You just have to go for it.
3. Think Like an Entrepreneur If you are starting your own business, it won't work to think like an employee. You need to think like your own boss! This means the freedom and responsibilities that come with being the head of a business.
4. Believe In Your Product or Service Whether you are selling something for a company or something of your own creation, you need to really love and believe in the product to succeed. If you are offering a service, you need to believe that you are offering something unique and excellent. Keep that mindset that says your product or service is absolutely worth it.
5. Not "I'll Try"... If someone asked you if you plan to succeed in business, would you say, "I'll try"? Then you have a negative mindset! You need to think more along the lines of "I will" or "I can." Thinking "I'll try" is a non-committal mindset that is not conducive to success. Being an entrepreneur can be overwhelming and exhausting. So how do some people seem to thrive and achieve their goals and dreams while others struggle? The answer is mindset.

Discipline For Development
By Oluwafemi Roya | Submitted On August 02, 2010
"Academic discipline is studying when you are supposed to study, even when you do not feel like to study" As a student you need academic success, you want un-stressful success, it is not a great task, it is very simple but tactical. -Things that serve as the prerequisite for success in academics 1. Discipline - Charity begins at home is one constant often said adage. The amount of discipline you imbibe into your being determines your achievement. Discipline is the act of changing bad characters in you and replacing them with good ones that will be of help to you. To be disciplined, you have to be able to forgo some things, you have to be able to endure and be able to manage efficiently. As a high school student you have a little money that you have planned to use to buy an iPod and a new workbook has just been brought to your class by your teacher. The discipline must be there that I need this book more than this iPod, then I should buy this one even without the knowledge of my parents. An undergraduate in which your parent affordable gave you N5000 to use for a month then, that discipline of wise spending should be there, I need to manage this money should constantly be in your mind.
Then you have installed discipline in the highest order to yourself. Discipline to be over-emphasized is in many phases, you can discipline any part of your body, and you can discipline your eyes to avoid lust-able things. You can discipline your mouth not to talk too much or not to say malicious thing/slander. You can discipline your hands to always profit you. Discipline your legs not to walk aimlessly, discipline your brain, to enhance your IQ. Discipline your stomach not to take much food. Discipline your heart to hear to hear profitable things. Discipline can be imbibed in many areas. -Discipline of ones eyes to avoid lust-able things Eyes can be used to see, it can see both far and near objects unless if otherwise. It can see human and many other things. With your eyes, you can read your book effectively. Taking disciplinary action on your eyes not to strenuously look at a female is not a big task, because it will go a long way to help you not to commit sin to your GOD and not to destroy your life at the early stage. -Discipline of one's mouth One can discipline his mouth to avoid the wrath of GOD, in what sense?
By talking sensibly and avoiding length words. In multitude of words a man sin, one can implicate him/herself by talking too much, you might not even know. Discipline of one's leg 3/8/2021 Discipline For Development https://ezinearticles.com/?Discipline-For-Development&id=4787191 2/2 I will discipline my leg not to walk to my enemy's house. In your hostel, as an undergraduate, you are not restricted from going out. Then you must discipline yourself not to over-use your freedom, stay indoor. Walking aimlessly can cause one to fall sick, since the leg is not a stick, it is better to discipline your leg. Try to work in "GODS geometry"-from class to library and to hostel. -Discipline your ears An ear listens and also hears, your ear can hear impromptu, but it is then, you listen patiently if it is important. Listening to worldly music cannot profit you, listening to corrupt languages from friends cannot profit you, listening to bad messages is unprofitable, it is then, you discipline your ears to hear good things and listen to them. -Discipline your stomach Stomach attracts food a lot, when you eat, eat and eat, you are not eating free of charge, then you are a glutton, a covetous fellow, a greedy man, you want to eat the whole of the world. You spend the whole of your allowances eating without saving on you, you are an empty balloon.
Discipline your stomach to eat little and nutritious food, do not live to eat but eat to live. -Discipline your brain Brain works hand in hand with your body system. When what is in your brain is nothing to write home about, you have low IQ. Then discipline sets in, you have the power to control your brain, do not let people deceive you. After GOD, you are in charge of your life. Do not let devil rule it for you. All I have been explaining so far do not count it trivial or being a child's play, discipline in it real sense is a very important asset to success, proper management of it can give you a chance of making ahead than your course mate or class mate. It takes discipline to run the race of life - word for food. Oluwafemi Roya phemlad4u@gmail.com Article Source:

Dreams Come True If You Let Them
By Daniel Kasztura | Submitted On June 19, 2013
Don't you ever hesitate to strongly believe that yes... dreams come true! You are able to make dreams come true but it can happen on one important condition. You must have faith. The faith that no matter what you can achieve everything you dream of. Is it simple to have this kind of faith in yourself? Well, it is not easy especially when things go wrong. You see, when everything is OK in your life or business, it is possible to keep the faith. It is possible then to believe in the ability of your dreams come true. But what if something goes in the bad direction in your life and you are suddenly becoming to turn down?
The power of your dreams. Now is the time to take advantage of the power of your big dreams. It is good to know that it is not enough to dream. It is not enough to have dreams. The thing is your dreams have to be big. Big enough to keep you in the state of believing. You should understand that if you want to achieve great success in life and business, if you would like your dreams come true, let them be big. I have found Kekich Credo #40. It has something to say about making your dreams big. "No dream is too big. It takes almost the same amount of time and energy to manage tiny projects or businesses as it does to manage massive ones... and the massive ones carry with them proportional rewards." When you go to bed in the evening, make sure you take a good sleep. In the morning, all you should do is to let your mind unfurl the overnight inspirations buried deep within your subconscious.
How to make your dreams come true? By dreaming big. The best idea is to do it gradually. What do I mean? Well, first come the obvious, small dreams. Then with your mind warmed-up from these gentle impressions it begins to expand and dream bigger. Finally, after a few minutes of growing intensity, you could develop your biggest dreams and ideas that are able to change your life when putting into practice. You don't even imagine how strategic thinking can bring a solution to a problem in your business. I have no doubt this vital ritual of dreaming big will pay off for you if you are willing to believe in the power of your dreams. Believe that your actions are going to make your dreams come true. Unfortunately, the world discourages big thinkers.
The truth is the mainstream media reports only on fear, loss, negativity and scarcity. But you cannot let yourself be influenced by these dream stealers. If you give up on your possibility to believe in your big success in life, you won't make your dreams come true at all. 2/28/2021 Dreams Come True If You Let Them https://ezinearticles.com/?Dreams-Come-True-If-You-Let-Them&id=7802837 2/2 If you want to achieve great things, you need to set big goals. I promise you will achieve your fastest results when you can set aside uninterrupted time for sustained concentration on the biggest obstacles in your business. This is the best way to make your big dreams come true.
My name is Daniel Kasztura. I live in Poland. I love being myself. I like the issue of personal development. I want to add value to you by writing about how to grow as a person. I am convinced that you can be a better person if you constantly learn how to develop your personal skills. I would be honored to know you took advantage of the helpful lessons presented here. Good luck :)

12 Things to Love About Courage
By Sandra Ford Walston | Submitted On May 13, 2010
"Courage can't see around corners, but goes around them anyway." ~Mignon McLaughlin, "The Neurotic's Notebook," 1960 Executive Summary: Everyone can learn to practice courage regardless of career or position. It does not matter if you are a sales associate, graphic designer, project manager, photographer, accountant, administrative assistant, CEO, entrepreneur, journalist, construction worker, electrician, mechanic or stockbroker, you can learn to manifest courage in your work. What would motivate you to explore where the components of this ancient virtue fit in your work life today? Review the list of "12 things to love about courage" and assess if you come from a reservoir of courage in your work and personal life.
1. I love that my courage allows me to spread my wings and be all I can be. I am driven by an internal courage-fueled energy field that magnifies my spirit's fulfillment. My courage is my antitoxin that I apply to setbacks, hurts or duties. How did I start this process? I gave myself permission to express my individuality! Did someone clip your wings?
2. I love that my courage supports me to exit bad situations quickly. Knowing my personal courage mindset allows me to embrace the courage opportunities I face on my journey. I am no stranger to my courage. I also know that I may feel unjustly punished when I stand in my courage, but courage provides the inner strength to rise above the "victim" mindset. Are you a stranger to your courage? My actions become consistently balanced with my courage consciousness. I love my courage!
3. I love that my courage sustains me to design a life diminished of regrets. My courage-centeredness defines my intentions. Each step (large or small) is an achievement. When my time comes to leave this life, I want to be able to say and feel in my heart, "I have no regrets. I did it my way." Do you remain deeply consistent with your intentions? If so, reach for the rainbow!
4. I love that my courage requires me to hold myself one hundred percent accountable for my life's experiences. I knowingly design those happenings each moment. Courage consciousness supports me as I strive to live in the vibration of my true Self. What life mosaic are you designing? With courage, humility and gratitude merge to dissipate all illusions of selfimportance.
5. I love that my courage competencies expand as I step up the ladder called life. Stepping up reinforces my reservoir of courage, which sustains me until I am ready to take the next exciting step. That next step may be asking for a tough project 2/28/2021 12 Things to Love About Courage https://ezinearticles.com/?12-Things-to-Love-About-Courage&id=4289516 2/2 or changing my hair color. Is your range of courage expanding? I focus on the ancient Chinese proverb: "He who hesitates before each step spends his life on one leg." Living in courage is economical-it cuts out a myriad of missteps.
6. I love that my courage self-differentiates me, defining my "brand value." The driver behind courage is the meaningfulness of my life. These qualities are portrayed through my convictions. My courage allows me to reflect. Choosing some form of reflection, I can learn to be more present to the truth of my personal branding distinction. What is your brand value? Herein lies the courage paradox: stay present, and you will do what is best for you!
7. I love that my courage guides me to focus on best results. Combining intention with action, courage arms me for success. The power of my spirit illuminates the steps that correlate my success quotient with my courage quotient. Are you willing to sacrifice the external world to find your internal world? It takes courage to design your personal blueprint.
8. I love that my courage is a friend during times of uncertainty or difficult transitions. There is no need for me to run from myself. My courage permits me to be innately motivated. In courage, my life expresses my heart's core, reflecting the root meaning of the word courage: "heart and spirit." Does your life express your heart, your core, your courage? With courage, you can say an absolute "yes" to whatever happens in your life.
9. I love that my courage develops my success. I develop my success by declaring my intent. My self-esteem supports me during demanding times. I know that hard decisions come alive in the questions, not the answers. Questions inspire actions. I see events as opportunities rather than sources of anxiety. Wisdom often dawns in the midst of pain, providing words of encouragement that should be shared with others. Success is not elusive, and courage is not a barrier to a happy life. Both are venues for your light to shine. What is your definition of success?
10. I love that my courage self-propels me. I am able to reinvent myself as often as needed. I know that conformity is a courage killer. I focus on my accomplishments and maintain a tough measure of accountability. Self-discipline thwarts any mediocrity that might keep me stuck or in anguish. Are you powerfully passionate about who you are? Nothing is more valuable than deepening your sense of who you are. Self-reflection is the key to self-fulfillment.
11. I love that my courage allows me to stand in my dignity. I do not need to manipulate situations. I know storms will enter my life. They offer opportunities for an honest assessment of my vulnerabilities. How frequently do you witness a mea culpa? Courage supports me to delve beyond my ego's old behavioral scripts to uncover emotional pain and rewrite those scripts. Only I can choose to stop my suffering created by my ego.
12. I love that my courage advances my voice. When I confront an uncomfortable truth, the essence of my authentic courage comes to light, and I claim this energy. In Latin, "virtue" means "energy." Is courage your unsung hero? Are you willing to fall in love with your courage? Courage is the gift that lifts your spirit.

7 Persuasion Tactics To Influence Anyone In The Most Effective Manner
By Michael Lee | Submitted On December 01, 2010
It's easy to influence anyone if you know the right persuasion tactics to use. Here's a list of 7 powerful techniques to get the most out of your persuasion efforts.
Persuasion Tactic # 1: Start your discussion on the right track. One of the biggest mistakes people make in persuasion is that they start talking about a topic or situation that the other person is not yet aware or familiar with. I have a friend who often dives into the middle of a story or subject, which leaves me (and I assume many other people) clueless on what he's talking about. It's important to start your discussion on a point that people can relate to, preferably from the very beginning, unless you're sure that they already know the foundation of the topic of discussion. Persuasion Tactic # 2: Be crystal clear in imparting your message. When you say, "He's mad" do you mean he's angry or do you mean he's crazy? Whenever you're going to say or write something that is vague or may lead to miscommunication, it's highly recommended that you change the words in a way that imparts a clear message.
Persuasion Tactic # 3: Give them a summary or an overall glimpse of the big picture. This is vital when talking about something that takes a little (or a lot more) time to comprehend. This way, they can better relate the discussion to the big picture and "absorb" what you're saying. Persuasion Tactic # 4: Stay humble. Never brag or be arrogant because it's a big turn-off. The other party may think (in his own mind) that he's better than you, and you'll just bruise his ego. You may even feign to not know things you may already be aware of, if it would give you an edge in persuading him. Give him the impression that you are an ally, and not in competition with him. 2/21/2021 7 Persuasion Tactics To Influence Anyone In The Most Effective Manner https://ezinearticles.com/?7-Persuasion-Tactics-To-Influence-Anyone-In-The-Most-Effective-Manner&id=5475456 2/2 Persuasion Tactic # 5: Pay attention to what is being said instead of thinking what you'll say next. This may be a little difficult for you to do initially. That's why it is critical to practice & enhance your persuasion skills until it becomes a part of you. When listening, don't interrupt while they're talking. Wait a second or two before you speak. Avoid changing subjects because this indicates your disinterest.
Persuasion Tactic # 6: Choose the right time. When they're not in the mood or when they're pressed with time, your persuasion efforts may just fall into deaf ears because they will not give you attention. Ask first if you can have a few minutes of their time. If they say it's not a good time, ask for a time that fits their schedule. Persuasion Tactic # 7: Never disrespect anyone. Watch out for the body signals that you are giving away.
You might be pouting your lips, breathing heavily, shaking your head, or rolling your eyes without you being aware that you're offending others. Watch your language too. If saying "Whatever," "Oh brother," or "Yeah right" is part of your lingo, practice taking them out of your vocabulary. Practice and apply these 7 persuasion tactics, and you'll be able to influence people faster than anyone else. Want to easily persuade anyone to do anything?

Creating Positive Habits and a More Positive You
By Gary Gzik | Submitted On June 10, 2010
You brush your teeth twice a day, go for a walk with the dog every night after dinner and clean the house every Saturday morning. But, at sometime in your life, these things were none existent and not in your normal routine - or should I say, they weren't a habit. Creating positive habits, like the ones mentioned above, doesn't have to be a chore. Every day you do things that are positive habits and you probably don't even know it. These habits, like washing your hands after attending the washroom, were easy to start because you used repetition. Most people can say they chew their food with their mouths closed; this is a positive habit that was formed when you were young. It took a while and a lot of drilling from your parents, but eventually, you have managed to recognize when you are chewing properly and when your food is on full display.
This positive habit was formed because you had the constant reminder to eat properly with your mouth closed. The formula isn't a secret, when you're creating positive habits you need repetition. Many studies have been done on creating positive habits, and the results have shown it takes as little as twenty-one days to conquer your wanted habits. Twenty-one days, seemingly long or short, is very important. During this time of creating a new positive habit, you are also eliminating negative ones. Just by taking the first step and thinking positively about the habit you would like to form, you are already breaking the pattern of thinking negatively and carrying on in your old ways. Creating positive habits is a repetitive process. Just as you were reminded to chew with your mouth closed, you need to constantly reinforce the idea of creating a new habit. You can easily start this process by writing down the positive things that you want to create in your life.
Maybe you want to exercise regularly, save more money, try a new meal once a week or incorporate more personal time into your schedule. Whatever it is, write it where you will see it daily. Once you have written down the main positive habits you would like to create, find smaller habits that you can start creating. For example, if you wrote down that you would like to eat healthier, under it you could begin a list of what foods you can change in your diet. Start with breakfast; list what you eat now and what you could replace it with. Maybe bacon and eggs can be changed to cereal and fruit. Every morning, when you peer into that fridge full of endless options, remind yourself that you are going to substitute your breakfast with something nutritious. When you find that breakfast has become a habit you no longer have to think about, move on to lunch and then dinner.
In no time, you will have completed your goal of creating positive habits for eating healthier because you broke it up into manageable habits that can be formed easier. When you are thinking about creating positive habits, remember that it's not impossible, get out the pen and paper and write down where you want to begin. And, rather than get frustrated with an overbearing list, make your habits manageable. If you spend too much time dwelling on the idea of making such a big change, it likely won't happen. Instead, go for your goal and realize that you can become a more positive you as you automatically accomplish more positive habits. 2/21/2021 Creating Positive Habits and a More Positive You https://ezinearticles.com/?Creating-Positive-Habits-and-a-More-Positive-You&id=4457033 2/2 Gary Gzik is a Corporate Trainer and CEO of the business consulting company BizXcel, Inc. which owns and operates Getting to Someday, a place where people go to achieve their goals and dreams.

Wake Up With Determination, Go To Bed With Satisfaction
By Rosemarie Sumalinog Gonzales | Submitted On January 07, 2021
Responsibility is the main component of making progress. In the event that you are sufficiently resolved, nobody can prevent you from accomplishing the objective of your craving. Thus, at whatever point you get up toward the beginning of the day, ensure that you are resolved about your objective. It will assist you with buckling down.

Also, it will furnish you with the ability to push ahead. Another advantage of assurance is that it will assist you with defeating disappointment, which is fundamental for our life. You need to comprehend that disappointment won't characterize your future. Your prosperity will characterize your future. Hence, stay decided as it will assist you to lay down with fulfillment.
The majority of us aren't yet certain what precisely that ideal life involves so leaving all that we have behind is somewhat senseless. Therefore, we are compelled to carry on with the day-to-day routines we are at present experiencing, keeping up the existence we've so far made for ourselves while at the same time making a more current, better future for ourselves. The way to completing the day solid is beginning it off on the correct note. Rather than hitting that nap button again and again, rather than covering your face under your covers, require one moment to simply relax. Pause for a minute to permit your psyche to clear, to take in the truth around you, and afterward center in around your objective. Permit yourself to imagine how you will feel once you achieve that objective and utilize that to fuel your day. On the off chance that you start your vacation day in some other design, at that point the daily routine you are presently experiencing will just drag you away from the everyday routine you wish to encounter.
You need to complete the things you realize you need to complete, or you won't have the option to clutch the correct reality. The explanation changing our lives is troublesome is that we are currently progressing our own real factors. 2/15/2021 Wake Up With Determination, Go To Bed With Satisfaction https://ezinearticles.com/?Wake-Up-With-Determination,-Go-To-Bed-With-Satisfaction&id=10400480 2/2 In the event that you're not hitting the sack fulfilled, at that point you clearly haven't figured out how to hold your world within proper limits. You permitted yourself to float once again into that previous lifestyle of yours that you're attempting so frantically to abandon. Which sucks on the grounds that one more day has passed by, and you've quite recently squandered it. In the event that you're not awakening sincerely and hitting the hay with fulfillment, you're passing up a superior, more charming reality. You need to awaken each day with force.
Without energy, you'll never accomplish your life objectives. A great many people think little of the significance of energy - without it, it's difficult to produce the essential power to get through whatever boundaries life and every one of those in it have put in your direction. To prevail throughout everyday life, you need to take each accomplishment en route regardless of how little and use it as your main impetus to fuel your energy to succeed, and utilize it to propel yourself forward with more power. Every failure is an opportunity to learn and an opportunity to get reacquainted with the amount you strive after the life you had always wanted. Truth be told, at times our greatest disappointments can give us more determination than our most noteworthy triumphs.

Business Strategy For Challenging Times
By Yahya S | Submitted On August 05, 2010
The importance of strategy to steer organizations during uncertain times in unchartered territories could not be overemphasized and the current crisis proves it. The role of business leaders is fundamental in strategy development and execution and key contributor to a successful strategy implementation. Whilst one of the main roles of business leaders is to set and communicate vision, mission and strategic objectives, many fail in the execution process as they get sucked into the details of day to day tactics. With the "big-picture" view, the leadership is able to view the ever changing environment and decide on how the organization needs to respond and to steer the organization towards the longer-term objectives. Whilst the strategic vision remains the same, the route to reach the destination might follow different tactics and game plans. The word strategy is attributed to the military as its origin was originally derived from the Greek word for "army". It describes a plan of action developed to realize a specific goal, bearing in mind the difference between strategy and tactics. Tactics is generally concerned with the manner an engagement is conducted, whilst strategy deals with how various engagements are interconnected. Strategy is all about clarity, and if the strategy is not simple, clear and well-understood, it will not be accomplished.
It represents the organization's main direction and prime focus and defines the way to get there. It can only be executed if everyone involved knows what is expected of them and their purpose is totally aligned with its direction. In business, the term strategy is frequently badly and inconsistently defined. Business people involved in formulating the strategy understand it well, whilst the majority others do not, particularly if they are not engaged in its development or strategy is not communicated down to them. Others mix strategy with vision and tactics. Strategy is a real differentiator, often seen as the secret for long-term success and one of the leadership characteristics. It unites the whole workforce, nurtures and develops opportunities and ensures endurance during crises or tough times. Although strategy represents a solid and firm direction, it should not be built into stone. Instead, it should be adaptable to reflect changes in the environment, whether it is politically, economically, socially, technologically or legally related. Business leaders must have clear business goals and be flexible and brave to continuously recalibrate their strategy. When times are tough and visibility is not so clear, leaders must have the buoyancy to be pragmatic and adaptable, as in the mist of chaos comes huge opportunities. Unsuccessful companies are those which do not embrace new ideas, broaden their thinking or are totally unaware of changes in their environment. Changing circumstances may necessitate a change in direction and stubbornness and fixed ideas can frequently be the enemy of business leaders. Business strategy is all about developing a viable plan for sustained business growth, possibly diversifying into new markets or cross selling to existing customers. Adequately qualified senior executives tend to have clear views of what their business strategy means. Good strategies are not glossy documents produced to be stacked on shelves to collect dust, but rather to be communicated, executed and monitored.
Leaders are expected to champion and drive the process of strategy execution by putting the strategy into action; after all the strategy does not mean anything unless it is fully communicated throughout the organization. The strategy can be viewed as the story of how a business plans to develop in the next few years; investments to make, markets to address, products to develop, territories to compete in, partnerships and alliances, etc. A good strategy is simple, 2/8/2021 Business Strategy For Challenging Times https://ezinearticles.com/?Business-Strategy-For-Challenging-Times&id=4807917 2/2 clear, credible, motivating and reflects the distinctive features of the business. Whilst strategies may end up looking the same, the brands and the culture of the organizations will be different. The real test to establish whether a strategy is good or not can be seen during difficult times e.g. the current global credit crunch, as business leaders are tempted under such conditions to lose their sense of direction and seek ways to cut costs and maintain margins. The leadership's thinking should be focused mainly on the strategy and nothing else. Companies are encouraged to continually health-check their strategy against various potential scenarios. During changes in the working environment or tough times, the leadership should review their business strategy to assess whether it is still prudent and acceptable to adopt a more flexible approach to the execution process, for example accelerate making an investment or divesting an existing business segment.
Business leaders should continuously be working on the company's strategy, since the business environment is changing all the time with lots of threats and lots of emerging opportunities. Therefore, business leaders need to be regularly monitoring their business environment and taking a view of where the market is headed and to conduct fitness-check of their strategy. Business strategies succeed only when they are well-developed and formulated, well communicated to the whole workforce, business functions are aligned to the corporate strategic objectives, incentives are aligned with individuals' performance, and most importantly when the leadership is involved in the strategy formulation and execution process.

Napoleon Hill wrote: "to become rich consist of doing." Thus, get the wisdom here and act on it. You will become rich. 1. Live below your means You have heard it. To improve your financial ability spend less than you earn. In other words - live below your means. Spend 70% of your earnings save or invest the balance. Baby - It's that simple! 2. Money is only a tool Money is no different from a car, spoon, or any other tool. We use tools to simplify and complete a certain task. Treat money as a tool and you will achieve a lot of successes with it. The money will do whatever you want it to do without complaining. Money is liquid and thus likes to move. It will take you anywhere and everywhere. You need to drive money and never allow money to drive you.

Stop buying stuff you don't need Know how to manage your money. Spend your money on value. Don't buy stuff for the seek of feeling good. Stuff you buy should improve your financial well-being in the long run. Invest in an asset and avoid liabilities. Long lasting items tend to have value due to their long-term usage capabilities. 5. Don't loan money to family and friends The best financial practices dictate that "never lend money to family or friends," because the cost of this action is very high. You lose both in the end. 6. Advice: Create and rely on more than one income source Build multiple income streams because it's a bad idea to rely on one source. You need to own things that bring money in but not taking your money away... 7 is the recommended number of income streams one must have ideally. 7. Create a budget To become rich you need to create a budget to help manage your money. A budget is a financial plan that enables you to control your money. Without a budget, your money will control you. 8. Avoid high-interest debt - bad debt Don't take bad loans.
Bad loans have high-interest rates. Instead of helping you grow financially, bad loans drug you down. Credit card debt is an example of a bad loan. Don't use bad debt. 9. Save regularly and compound your savings Save money regularly to help get rich. Building a financial empire begins at your money-saving prowess. Save and don't get your interest earnings out. Compounding your earned interest is the name of the money game. 10. Buy and keep it Buy valuable assets with an intention to keep for a long time (or many years.) Buy and hold is a good strategy. Things you can buy to hold for long include; • real estate • stocks 11. Learn how to raise money Learn how to raise money and people will come for help and advice. People need money for projects but they don't know how to raise project money. You can Charge consultation and finder fees. Ask to become part of the project. 12. Start a small business People who become billionaires start small time businesses. They grew their business to corporate giants over the years. You need to start your own business to become truly rich. 13. Discover hidden investors - undiscovered investors Come up with a great investment idea. You have no money to invest but your idea is solid, marketable and profitable. Make a list of people who have money. Talk to them and convince them to invest in your idea. People who become billionaires used other people's money to thrive. 14. Know yourself - self-awareness This means: • Knowing and respecting your strengths and weaknesses • Knowing your passions • Knowing your fears • Knowing your desires and dreams • Knowing your thoughts • Knowing your likes and dislikes • Knowing your tolerances • Knowing your limitations Use this knowledge to make money the easiest way you can design. 15. Give and share your money 2/8/2021 Money Advice: 20 Minutes Learning to Help Make You Rich https://ezinearticles.com/?Money-Advice:-20-Minutes-Learning-to-Help-Make-You-Rich&id=9810348 3/3 To find sweet fulfillment in life you need to show love to others.
The best way to achieve this goal is to give and share your money with others. Give and it shall be given back with interest. Share and you will receive blessings. 16. See yourself as a company You need to use your money prudently like a profit-making minded company. Treat yourself like a corporate entity that must report profits every year. You are the owner and managing director of this company. How much profit do you want to report at the end of the year? Only you can determine this. 17. Pursue value in everything you do Everything you do must be value-centered; • Thing value when you buy • Think value when you learn • Think value in your relationships • Think value when investing • Think value in your business dealings • What value are your customers receiving from your service? • Provide value to those around • Become valuable and irresistible Pursue value relentlessly and you shall become rich. People who become rich know the importance of value. People pay for value. 18. Change your mindset about money Money is good. It can earn you many very good things. Don't worry about money. Never say that you can't afford this or that. Your view about buying power should be, "how can I afford this," and never, I can't afford this.
You can afford anything in this life as long as you want it bad. 19. Value time over money Time is the most important item in your life. Without time you can't accomplish anything. Time utilized properly and productively will make more money than you can imagine. Money has no value if you have no time to use or make it work for you. I wish you luck in becoming and remaining rich. Steve Wanjie is a Nairobi based blogger, school manager, businessman, social worker and a freelancer.

Don't Let Fear Kill Your Dream!
By Tom Cannon | Submitted On February 25, 2009
"This is what the LORD says-he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers,they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior." Isaiah 43:1-3 (NIV) "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love." 1 John 4:18 (NKJV) Whether you live in Detroit, New York, or LA, you've probably felt the effects of the current economic crisis. As the crisis deepens, many people are being overwhelmed by fear: Fear of jobs lost, fear of economic ruination, and even fear over what tomorrow may hold. But never forget, fear is our worst enemy during this time of crisis. Franklin Roosevelt, once said, "We have nothing to fear, but fear itself." Even more importantly than what President Roosevelt said, was the time frame in which he said it.
When were those words spoken? They were proclaimed during FDR's first Inauguration Address, on March 4, 1933. What's so important about that date? And how is it linked to our current crisis? President Roosevelt proclaimed those words at the height of the Great Depression, when our nation was suffering the worst economic crisis in history. Looking back, we know that President Roosevelt understood what he was talking about, and knew how important it was for people to conquer America's greatest foe. In our world today, many people are trying to make a buck selling fear. Like who? Like most of the media outlets, newspapers and magazines on the planet. But they are doing the world a terrible disservice, and it must be stopped! Fearmongering is public enemy #1. When people give in to their fears, it causes them to stop spending and investing, and as a result, it drives the crisis even deeper. That is why fear must never be used as a marketing ploy, by the media, or anyone else. According to the media, the current economic situation in America is as bad, if not worse, than during the Great Depression. But nothing could be further from the truth. The problem is, they're using flawed statistical data to prove that more Americans are unemployed today than at any time in history, including the Great Depression. What the media outlets aren't telling you is this:
While more people are unemployed today, than at the height of the Great Depression (from a purely numerical standpoint), here's what they refuse to tell you: o The U.S. population, in 1933, was less than half the current U.S. population! 1/31/2021 Don't Let Fear Kill Your Dream! https://ezinearticles.com/?Dont-Let-Fear-Kill-Your-Dream!&id=2038998 2/5 o In 1933, the U.S. population was only 125,578,763. o Compare that to the current U.S. population of 299,398,484+ people. o The only reason media outlets can legally say more Americans are unemployed now, than during the height of the Great Depression, is because there's almost 175,000,000 more Americans today, than in 1933!!! o So you see, their use of statistics is entirely unfair - because America has more than twice the population it did 76 years ago. It should be a crime to misuse statistics the way journalists do today. By refusing to give us an "apples to apples" comparison of statistical data, they make people think the current economic situation is much worse than it really is. Here's the statistics the media should use, if they really wanted to give us a fair and unbiased comparison (current economic situation vs. the Great Depression): o In 1933, the U.S. unemployment rate was 25.2%. o Compare that to the current unemployment rate of 7.9%. (Dept. of Labor - Jan. 2009) Now tell me, does that sound like the Great Depression to you? Not on your life, it doesn't! What it does sound like to me; is that a lot of people in the media are mongering fear for profit. Now don't take me wrong: I'm not saying the economy isn't bad, but it is not as bad as it once was, or as bad as the media makes it sound!
How do we eliminate fear from our lives? Here's the problem: fear doesn't take logic into account. Though fear feels tangible, and your feelings make fear seem like its based on reality, fear is founded upon neither. Are you paralyzed with fear? Many Americans are. They're afraid of what the future holds for them and their family. And they're afraid the American dream, as we've known it, has ended. If that describes you or someone you love, then you definitely need to read what I am about to say. The greatest enemy we presently face - is fear itself. Fear is paralyzing America, and has caused people to crouch in the hovels of their afflicted minds, refusing to use their creativity to pursue their lofty American dreams. Fear resides in our psyche, as emotion, yet it can have a terrible, tangible impact upon those it dominates. Even when fear is not based on reality, the impact it has upon those it rules, as an unwanted and unwelcome tyrant, is very real. Fear is a tormenter, and will rob our bright and glorious tomorrows, if we allow it. Can the power of fear be broken, and peace be restored to your life? Indeed, victory over fear is very possible. But that's only half the story: for once fear's hold has been shattered off your life, peace will come. "Fear is torment." It tires you out worse than a hard day of physical labor, and will keep you awake at night like a strong opiate unleashed upon your system. The good news is, that the power of fear can be destroyed, if that is, you will commit to pursuing the pathway that leads to its obliteration. The secret to overcoming fear: You must learn to surrender your heart and your fears to God. If this crisis has proven one thing true, it's that we are powerless to overcome fear with our own efforts or abilities.
However, God pledged (in the Bible) to help us conquer our fears, through faith in Him. So write it down: no matter how fearful things are, you must ask God to rule over your fears, rather than allowing your fears to rule over you. During a time of crisis in his own life, King David of Israel penned the words of a psalm (song) that has brought great consolation to those who have walked in treacherous or fearful places. Learning David's secret is paramount to eradicating fear from your life, and shattering the stronghold it possesses over you. What is David's secret to triumphing over fear? It is found in Psalm 23:4-5; "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over." (NKJV) David walked through many dark and deadly valleys in his lifetime. King Saul, hunted him like an animal, and sought to destroy him on several occasions; he often faced overwhelming odds on the battlefield; and even his own son, Absalom, tried to kill him. But through it all, from boyhood to the throne, David refused to allow the fear to rule his heart or mind. 1/31/2021 Don't Let Fear Kill Your Dream! https://ezinearticles.com/?Dont-Let-Fear-Kill-Your-Dream!&id=2038998 3/5 Reflecting on the shadowy and deadly valleys David walked through, should give us great comfort, knowing that he shared moments of similarity with us. But how did this shepherd boy-turned-king conquer his fear? That's simple: he conquered fear through his childlike, but powerful faith and trust in God. The giants in your life may seem insurmountable, and your weapons may seem inadequate, but if you will put your faith in God, and trust Him like David did, your slingshot will be more than sufficient, when God is in it. If you will cast all your cares upon the Lord, refuse to lean on your own understanding, and trust Him at all times, you're on your way to winning the fear battle in your life. The solution for fear may sound trite, but it isn't. Trust me, I have put this truth to the test, and God's love has conquered my fears, on more occasions than I can recall. Like it was yesterday, I remember the fear that came into my heart when doctors gave us bad reports, or when the economy turned sour during past recessional times, and we felt the icy hand of recession threaten to rob us of everything we worked so hard to obtain. Through the lens of time, however, I can look back over those days and say that God was always with us; protecting, leading, and guiding our steps. Like many of you, I have been paralyzed by fear, kept awake at night by it, and endured it's ill effects for weeks and even months at a time. During those times, fear became a familiar foe, and I grew to know it well, and learned to despise it even more. After wasting many precious moments of my life on fear, I finally learned the secret to overcoming it. The valuable lessons I learned during the darkest hours of life, still sustain me. Lessons I learned in the war with fear include: o If you love God enough, you need not fear the unknown. God promised to be "with us always," shelter us from the storms, and shield our hearts from fear.
There's an old Christian saying that is worth reviving. "I may not know what my future holds, but I know who holds my future." o Discovering Jesus Christ in a personal, life-changing way, and learning to trust Him with your life, is the secret to overcoming fear. o One of the titles of the Lord is "The Prince of Peace." When you learn to plug into the fear-conquering power that resides within the bearer of that title, you will be amazed by how swiftly, and radically your fear-level will decline. o Learn to totally trust God's plan for your life. In Jeremiah, God declared this truth over His creation: "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV) o God's plans for you are good, not evil. His greatest desire is to bless those He created, and to make them a blessing to others. The biblical patriarch, Joseph, first learned to overcome fear, by trusting God in a dark and hopeless pit, where he had been abandoned by his brothers. His life-lesson intensified when he was falsely accused by Potiphar's wife; and was wrongfully imprisoned in a filthy Egyptian prison, where he languished, forgotten for years. But through every crisis, Joseph learned to trust the God who never failed him. So much so, that when it came time for his destiny to be fulfilled, he stood in the security of his faith, and saw the Lord, who never failed him in life's darkest moments, rescue Egypt and many nations of the earth, from famine, through him. Don't allow fear to rule over you. Though you may be facing fearful moments, write this down: you can conquer your giants, and defeat your foes by faith in God. How? Instead of concentrating on your circumstances, give your full and undivided attention to God, and simply believe that He is willing and able to do what He promised He will do for you. James 4:7 gives us excellent insights into overcoming fear. Fear is conquered by trusting God, and resisting the father of fear - the devil: "Therefore, submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will run away from you." (NIV) Never forget: the devil is a liar, and he rules people through fear. When the power of fear is broken off our lives, the enemy's reign is ended. It's time to dream again! Dream now or dream later? I believe the best time to dream is when you need miraculous answers or breakthroughs in your own life, or in your nation. We need people to begin dreaming now, when there is so much uncertainty, and trouble in our nation. In fact, I can't think of a better time for people to start dreaming of ways they can help overcome this crisis, and create brighter tomorrows, than right now.
We must not allow fear to rob us of our ability to dream. Daring to dream is what made America great - from the very start. No matter how severe our dilemmas have been, Americans have always maintained their ability to dream. Proverbs 29:18 (King James Version) states, "Where there is no vision, the people perish." Our ability to look by faith, beyond obstacles that historically were considered insurmountable, to see divine possibilities instead, has helped make our nation great. Our ability to dream big, during the toughest times, has enabled us to triumph over insurmountable odds, defeat 1/31/2021 Don't Let Fear Kill Your Dream! https://ezinearticles.com/?Dont-Let-Fear-Kill-Your-Dream!&id=2038998 4/5 insuperable foes, and find solutions to dilemmas that once were deemed unattainable. And that alone, I believe, is what has separated us from many other nations of the world. A Nation of Dreamers: While we don't have time to detail every American, who dared to pursue their dreams, and who gave us some of the most amazing discoveries, triumphs and accomplishments in history, I would like to remind you of three compatriots who dared to dream big, regardless of how impossible the circumstances or obstacles they faced at the time. 1. Orville and Wilbur Wright. The Wright Brothers will forever be remembered as the fathers of flight, because they dared dream that they could conquer gravity! Though no human had ever flown before, two visionary siblings believed that one day, humanity would no longer be earthbound, but would soar in the heavens like the eagles. Thanks to their ability to dream an impossible dream, and their willingness to take risks in the pursuit of their dreams, the Wright Brothers accomplished the impossible one December morning, in 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. How about you? Are you willing to risk it all, to reach new heights? 2. Thomas Alva Edison. He single-handedly lifted the world out of darkness, and brought us into the light. Imagine yourself living before the invention of the light bulb. What an oppressive, dark, and restrictive world it would have been. Everywhere you went, at night or in dark places, meant carrying candles, lamps, or torches. And to think, we sometimes get tired of packing our cell phones? How entirely impossible Edison's mission must have seemed to people in that day: to create a sustainable source of light within a glass bulb, and power that fragile orb by the pulsating currents of electricity.
Needless to say, few people gave Edison's dream any chance of reaching the light of day. Fortunately for us, Edison wasn't intimidated by public opinion, or the size of his dream. After hundreds of failed attempts, in 1879, Edison flipped the switch and the light stayed on. Are you willing to pursue your dreams all the way to success, like Edison, regardless of how many failures you may encounter along the way? The bottom line is this: you can either choose to live in the darkness, or you can keep dreaming until the light comes on! 3. Abraham Lincoln. Our beloved 16th President dared to dream of preserving an indivisible, hallowed Union, where all Americans would be considered equals. And what a lofty dream it was! How thankful our nation should be, that a poor, prairie farm boy would persevere against unbelievable obstacles, to become the president of the United States, lead America through the dark night of disunity, and help us emerge from the devastation of war, as "one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." Though President Lincoln is greatly loved and revered by Americans today, during the days of his presidency, he was intensely hated and ridiculed by many people on both sides of the battle line. Daily, he was castigated by journalists, ridiculed by southern sympathizers, and mocked by lawmakers for many of his executive decisions, and wartime decisions. As the war raged on, and casualties mounted, President Lincoln lived under the constant threat that America would be torn apart by the war. I cannot imagine how terrible the years of ceaseless conflict must have been for the kind-hearted and caring man who led our nation. As the Commander in Chief, what must it have been like to read the casualty lists following battles like Petersburg, Chickamauga, Chancellorsville, Antietam, or Gettysburg, in which tens of thousands of brave young men died? Indeed, sorrow and fear were President Lincoln's continual companions. In the end, his incredible perseverance was rewarded, when General Robert E. Lee surrendered his confederate army at Appomattox Courthouse, in Virginia, on April 9, 1865, and the states were reunited at long last. Sadly, Abraham Lincoln was not allowed to celebrate his greatest triumph for long. For on April 14, 1865, an assassin, named John Wilkes Booth, forever dimmed the eyes, but not the dream of the man who dared to believe in a lofty place, called the United States of America, where "all men are created equal." How far we have come as a nation. Having just elected the first black president in our nation's history, we owe a huge debt of gratitude to the great emancipator and his undying dream. In the light of this historic event, every American should reflect back upon the dreary days before the Lincoln presidency, when men and women were bought and sold like livestock, and express our thanks to God for giving us an incredibly visionary leader; who would dare to set the future course for our nation, where "one nation, under God, indivisible" would one day be able to fulfill his great dream. Final thought: It pays to trust the Lord. Now is not the time to live in the torment of fear, paralyzed by real and imagined foes, but rather, we must trust God with our collective and individual destinies, and ask Him to help us dream again. The only way we will 1/31/2021 Don't Let Fear Kill Your Dream! https://ezinearticles.com/?Dont-Let-Fear-Kill-Your-Dream!&id=2038998 5/5 overcome fear (and its torment), is to live by this truth: All it takes to overcome fear, is a genuine love for God, commitment to honor Him with our life, and trust His plan for your life. Are you up to the task? I hope so, because "peace that passes understanding" is only a simple, faith-filled prayer away. As you turn to Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, He will take away your fears, and restore your ability to dream again.
Why don't you talk to Jesus about your fear issue today, and let Him replace it with His gentle presence, and ever-abiding peace? Don't forget: "Perfect love casts out fear." He stands ready to perform this much-needed miracle in you, right now. All you need to do is ask.

5 Tips On How To Increase Productivity
By Lesley A Knowles | Submitted On October 10, 2012
Today, it seems that working hard is not enough to get what you want. In addition to hard work, you need to be smarter if you want to gain more favorable results. You need to be personally productive every minute of your life to actually achieve something significant. What does being productive means? Personal productivity is one's ability to carry out tasks on time with quality results. A person's productivity level may vary from different tasks. A high level of productivity can be attained not just through hard work but with planning and organization as well. A deficiency in any of these three elements is likely to result to a low personal productivity level. If you are in the work force, improving your productivity level can get you noticed by your boss.
If you are a student, it allows you to save your free time for more leisurely activities. Completing tasks on time also prevents you from feeling overly stressed out due to procrastination or putting off tasks as they come. Here are some tips on how to increase productivity. 1. Keep a daily notepad to record your ideas. Have you ever had a great idea that has been lost just because you have nothing to write them on? Today, most people use electronic devices such as cell phones and laptops to record their ideas. However, using pen and paper makes it easier to draw ideas than on the notepad applications of your electronic devices. Furthermore, you won't have to worry about your battery getting low or accidentally deleting your notes if you write them down on paper. Carrying a notepad is one thing and actually writing down something on that notepad is another. Every time you feel like making notes or when you think you have stumbled upon something important, make it a point to write it down on paper. 2. Create a list of tasks you need to accomplish each day. Don't try to do a lot of things that you can't handle in a day. What you should do is evenly divide your tasks with the amount of time that you have. Once you've finished with the tasks you've lined up for one day, you can start to relax. You can also work on another task if you've finished early. Just make sure that you're not stressing yourself on doing what is beyond necessary. Otherwise, you might not get quality results. Sure, quantity is great but work quality will always be more impressive 3. Have a Break. Taking short breaks as you work is an effective way of easing boredom and work distractions. Take at least a 5 minute rest for every 45-60 minutes of work. However, avoid doing things that are very much unrelated to your work. Activities like surfing the net or checking your email.are distracting and might cause you to take a break longer than five minutes. 4. Work on the difficult tasks first. In order to defeat procrastination, you need to learn how to deal with the most unpleasant tasks first instead of delaying it.
This will most likely start a very productive day. In addition, everyone has their peak time of productivity. Typically, people are most productive during the early parts of the day. So, you need to identify when you are most productive and do the more important tasks during those times. You can work on the easier tasks during your 'off-peak' hours. 5. Have a healthy lifestyle. Getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods and proper exercise provide all the nutrients you need to have a healthy mind and body. Having a healthy lifestyle will help you become a very productive individual. If you want to be successful in life you need to be more than just productive. You need to learn how to set goals and actually achieve them.

Small Business Growth - 7 Tips to Manage Your Growth Successfully
By Kris Bovay | Submitted On August 04, 2008
Fast growth can be seductive; but challenging to manage. All small business owners want growth; and fast growth sounds like it should be a good thing - something to strive for. However, it is important to control your small business growth or risk your business' future. One of the most exciting times for small business owners is when they see their sales grow; even more exciting when those sales grow quickly. Sales are often used as a measure of business success. In reality, all business owners should use profit as a key measure of the business' success because sales growth can require a high price. Rapid sales growth can be achieved either organically (that is, through activities internal to the business) or inorganically (that is, through activities external to the business).
Organic growth typically occurs through the launch of new products or services; by expanding the geographic market; and by starting up a new business - although growth in this case can start slow and then speed up. Inorganic growth typically occurs through mergers or acquisitions. While inorganic growth is often very fast growth - if you buy a company that's bigger than you, you've more than doubled your size - it is often expensive growth in terms of money, time and resources. Buying growth by buying a company means that you will often purchase the bad along with the good. For example, the bad can be the total cost of the acquisition; purchasing old equipment and/or inventory along with new; acquiring unhappy or high priced labor; a bad reputation; and more. The good can be acquiring the sales book, which is the company's list of customers; additional services; a larger territory; more staff, taking out a competitor; and more.
The additional considerations for buying or not to buying growth should be how challenging is it to merge the two companies and the two cultures; what synergies can be gained - if any; if the acquisition results in an over-staffing who will be laid off, how will the lay-offs be decided, who will do the lay-offs, what will be the outcome and the environment after lay-offs. Do you have enough in-house human resources support for this type of growth? If not, can you outsource to a competent individual or firm? The difference between acquiring a company and merging with another company is usually related to either a win-lose proposition (one company is the winner, the other the loser) or a win-win proposition (both companies are motivated to merge successfully for a number of business reasons). Mergers can consume a different resource focus: ensuring that both companies, their staff, their customers and all stakeholders feel that the end result was a win-win. 1/25/2021 Small Business Growth - 7 Tips to Manage Your Growth Successfully https://ezinearticles.com/?Small-Business-Growth---7-Tips-to-Manage-Your-Growth-Successfully&id=1382485 2/2 In either of these inorganic growth strategies, create a checklist approach to ensure that you carefully review all the pros and the cons and weigh the rationale carefully before you move forward on the merger or acquisition path.
Organic growth is typically a slower and more manageable type of growth. However, if your business is growing through a period of fast growth, you need to manage that growth before it overtakes you. 7 Tips for Managing your Growth: have a comprehensive human resources plan to handle fast growth and peaks and valleys in business activity; have job descriptions and a structure for your company; have developed standard operating procedures for your business; have a strong customer service program - so that customers are not negatively impacted by your fast growth; have a strong quality and continuous improvement program; ensure that you have the operating structure (whether that means increased inventories, longer hours of work - moving from a one shift operation to a two shift operation; adding more productive equipment); and have the cash flow to sustain growth (you will need to pay for more supplies and materials, for labor, for transportation, etc.) - unplanned and/or fast growth can have a big, negative impact on liquidity.
Whether you grow organically or inorganically, you need to plan for sustainable growth. Your plan needs to include how you will manage fast growth.
