    Ego Stroking To Influence Others To Get More Of What You Want
    I have TWO critically significant questions for you! The same TWO questions that were asked of Six Thousand, Six Hundred people (6,600).1. "Do you receive as much praise, approval, and appreciation on your job as you feel you deserve?"2. "Would you likely perform your job better if you received more praise, approval and appreciation?"The answers may amaze you as much as they hav

    Are Your Meetings Smart?
    Soon after I finished a brief seminar on how to accomplish more in less time every day, Roger shook my hand and said, “I can use what you said. But there is one thing you didn’t talk about. It is something that drives me crazy. I can’t get anything done because I’m in meetings all day long. We have gone overboard on meetings. We discuss practically everything as a team before making decisions.” I a
    Just like there are reverse dictionaries, there is a reason to create a count down calendar. A count down calendar starts with Franklin Covey’s philosophy, "start with the end in mind."

    The biggest advantage to a countdown calendar is that it makes you think and focus harder as well as makes the planning easier.

    First, you write down the exact results you want or expect. Let’s say you have a teleclass, seminar, speaking engagement you are delivering on X date. This becomes your D-day -- sort of speaking. It may be end of the event planning, however, it can also be the beginning of your follow-up plan. For simplicity sake, let us stop at the D-day point.

    Now you can prepare a count down calendar in several ways. One way would be to use a calendar with the days of the month filled in. You mark down the D-day and then you back track from there to today.

    Count down the days until __________. Number of marketing days to go until __________.

    Example: Count down days until seminar. 20 marketing days to go until seminar.

    An Overview of Online Training Technologies
    With only twenty four hours in the day, it is almost impossible to get everything done. We have all been in a situation – whether it is in school or a work environment, when we pray for even just an extra minute of time. After all, with such demanding schedules, even a few more seconds would allow us to actually have a life after work. Luckily, since the internet boom, there have been many alternati

    How to Tell if Your Organisation is Ripe for Change
    The only organisation that is not ripe for change is one that has absolutely no constraints to its performance. Such an organisatio would be delivering an infinite amount of its goods or services to the market and earning an unlimited amount of money in return. Even if such an organisation exists on this planet, I can bet my last dollar that it's not yours. That means I can tell almost without looki

    The Use of Goals - Friend or Foe?
    As a society we are achievement driven, recognized for our tangible contributions to the world. The examples of this are everywhere: At school we are praised for doing well at tests and reading to certain levels. At work we are rewarded for achieving specific objectives. On the sporting field our athletes are heralded for their victories. Public organisations are required to share their goals with

    How To Start A Profitable Craft Business
    A good way to cash in on your artistic and creative skills can be to establish a craft business. It may be that you had never ever thought about commencing with creating innovative and attractive crafts for earning profits secured by their sale. The thought might also be coming to your mind at this point of time about whether at all such craft business plan can be executable in a gainful manner by y
    method you use, you will need to write down your measurements or your mini-results that will deliver the end results you want. I use the pivoting question, "What is it going to take to..." to get my thinking moving in the right direction. I like to think through and write these on the back of my calendars. This gives me a bird’s eye view for that particular commitment that my software does not provide.

    Another way would be to use a blank form like this with the appropriate number of days in between. Then cross out the days that you will do any marketing -- say Sundays or days filled with other requirements. For my teleclass programs, my D-day back to Day 1 is always 3 weeks, so I have created a regular calendar for these. In fact, I use green color paper to print out the calendar.

    If you don't want to create your own, visit your local office supply store, they have countdown calendars available for purchase (blank planning books).

    A third way to complete a countdown calendar would be to complete it in a linear form.

    Day 21: Speaking event results I desire -- describe those results.

    Day 20: Get handouts printed at Kinko’s.

    Day 19: Write and send out reminder e-mail to organizer.

    To Day 1: Today.

    Again, if you have a reoccurring countdown, like teleclasses, you can create a linear countdown calendar like t
