Who knows how this little hooligan would answer that question . . . but what about you? What are your hopes and dreams for your business? Do you have a bucket list for its future – things you want to accomplish, people you’d like to meet, places you’d like to go? Let’s consider what you might put in that bucket and see how you would answer the question, “What’s next?”
Perhaps mountains are your thing, and you’re an expert at climbing them. You might scale a cliff every weekend as your sport. Most people, though, would probably never even think of spelunking, worried about a slip and a fall. Ever wonder what successful people write on their list of things they won’t do? Clinical psychologist and author, Dr. Henry Cloud, researched this very topic and discovered what successful people steer clear of. Let’s take a look at some of these and compare notes.
Hanging your piggy bank outside your business won’t help you at all. Too often the focus for a business is making money, but that’s not where it should stop. Saving money is actually a way to make more of it.
Will your customers come back? Customers will come back, but here’s one of the main reasons why. Research shows that beyond product loyalty or even the purchase price, they often return because of customer service.
What are the chances of seeing a hummingbird on a limb like this? Multiply that by considering how often you’d have a camera in position to take a spot-on photograph. Roger Burkhard did. This is his photograph – and he is giving it away for free. For free? Yes – professional photographers provide their favorite…
We’re not all big risk-takers, but perhaps we’d like to be. Taking risks is a two-sided coin – you’ll either be successful or you won’t. If those are the odds, why would anyone take a risk then? When it comes to your business, though, you might be more successful if you DO take risks. Let’s find out why.
Goals keep you focused, and step by step, you aim toward success. So if that’s the case, what steps must be taken in order to get where you want to be and do what you want to do? Let’s take a look.
Time stops for nobody, so It’s up to you to maintain your schedule, making the most of your days. Some days seem to go by quickly – Saturday and Sunday, in particular – and we all tend to scramble to get caught up when we’re back to work on Monday. How can we manage our time better, so that can get everything done?
Oops. That sure didn’t work. Back to the drawing board to figure out another way to add an enhanced brick design to this wall. Just look at this mess! Sometimes a solid attempt turns into a solid failure. Something goes wrong. One crucial part of the process was forgotten. Maybe a piece breaks along the way. When the whole wall crumbles like this, it’s hard to feel like trying all over again. Instead, people are often immersed in feelings of self-doubt, frustration, and regret. What do we need to turn all of this around and M-O-V-E forward?
Many swear by multitasking. While doing one thing, a person can save time by doing several other things simultaneously. Some researchers claim that our brains really cannot multitask and that by juggling several things, we’re not doing any one thing very well. What a shame when we can get much more done in every minute of our day when we can do more with each minute. So let’s find out what prominent neuroscientists say.
