Directives & Objectives for Success

Upon reading each item, go over it in your mind and conduct your own personal assessment of how strong or weak you are in that particular category.

Here they are….• Work smarter, not harder. It's not how much you do, but what you do and how well

you do it. There are better ways to run your business than by brute force. Create a work environment where people are recognized not only for their results, but also for their character and integrity.

• Strive for accuracy first, then build momentum. Since you do not have a second chance to make a good impression, it is important that you always do things right the first time. It is much better to introduce an excellent product a little later than planned than it is to impetuously release something that you know has problems. Your work is your signature, make sure it’s worth something very valuable!

• Find a niche. Some goals and objectives sound simple enough, but this one can be tough to achieve. Start by become an expert in your field. Stick to what you do best. It may not be necessary to invent something brand new yourself. Take something that is already in the marketplace and improve it enough so that you can call it your own. Provide the simple twist to the product that will outsell all others.

• Build your reputation on integrity, quality and value. Don't do anything that might compromise your integrity. Once your reputation is tarnished, it is difficult to redeem yourself in the eyes of your customers as well as your employees. Maintaining your good name must remain at the top of your goals and objectives.

• Always better your best. Constantly strive to improve your products and services. If you have a good idea, rest assured others will work to make a product that’s even better. In order to not be outdone by others, you must continue to seek to improve your own product or service.

• Be creative. Adapt and apply innovative techniques from outside your specific field. Step out of your comfort zone. Our goals and objectives for business should be no more intense that our goals and objectives for life. Continuous learning is key to our sense of self-fulfillment and personal growth.

• Listen and respond to your customer's needs. Success comes when you give your customers what they want. Visit your customers and ask them what you can do to improve your product or service. Users of your product know exactly what you need to do to make it even better. They’ve already wished it could do more. Ask them to tell you about their wish-list/upgrade ideas. Sell solutions, not products.

• Plan for Success. Know where you are going and how you are going to get there. Too many businesses exist day-to-day without any long-range plans, goals and objectives. Decide where you want your company to be in one, three and five years and draw up a specific plan of action to get you there.

• Take advantage of change. Changes in your market are inevitable -- use them to your advantage. Be a leader, not a follower. It is far better to error on the side of daring than to error on the side of inaction or complacency.

• Think before you act and spend time wisely. There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all. Don’t spend your time on small items that are time-suckers. Focus on the BIG issues and do them first.

• Always promise a lot . . . and then deliver even more. Provide your customers with more than they expect. Go the extra mile to give exceptional quality, exceptional service or exceptional value. Your customers will remember and reward you with their continued business.

UNDERSTANDING CREATIVITY• Recognize that everyone has the ability to be creative.• Change your current patterns of thinking.• Remember that change begins with questioning.• Understand how logical and creative thinking are integral to each other• Use your passed experiences to find solutions.• Think creatively to increase your opportunities.• Explore possible options before making decisions.• Think of possible solutions to a problem and then evaluate them using logical

thinking.• Use your imagination to find different solutions• Understand how conditioning forces you to think in a prescribed way and limits your

potential• Aim to look at information in more productive, insightful ways.• Recognize that creativity is driven by the desire to improve processes.• Bypass your assumptions and think creatively• Believe that you can think of solutions• Try not to be constraint by rules• Accept that problems are the food of creativity• Understand your thinking processes so that you are able to adopt them• Identify the side of the brain that you are naturally influenced by• Notice how you approach problems, and think about whether you are naturally

creative.

Win/Win or No Deal

We believe that economics does not necessarily have to be a zero-sum game; it can be a win-win proposition for everyone involved so long as they have the tools in which to succeed. - Ron Kind

Seek First to Understand,Then to be Understood

“I am personally convinced that one person can be a change catalyst, a "transformer" in any situation, any organization. Such an individual is yeast that can leaven an entire loaf. It requires vision, initiative, patience, respect, persistence, courage, and faith to be a transforming leader.”

Synergize

Synergize means, when two or more people work together and they succeed as one. Is to work together, to celebrate differences, also to find different ways to work with different people even if there different

Sharpen the Saw (Renew yourself)

We slog and plod. We live, breathe, work, sleep, eat and play. We live lives that are revolved around our routines.

We are creatures of habit. We live automatically. Are we growing, renewing being renewed?  

Sharpening the saw, renewal, self renewal, revival, restoration, revitalization.. name it what you will. There must be latency before growth, dullness

before vision, reaching within before reaching without.  It is the prerequisite to flashes of inspirations,

ideas and changes, motivation, persistence and ultimately reaching your dreams.

 "All human systems require continuous renewal. They rigidify the get stiff in the joints.

Physically, Mentally, Spiritually, Emotionally and Socially.
