Business Motivation – April 19, 2012
You Always Have A Chance You know what you are today but not what you may be tomorrow. Use your imagination and look at things as they can be. You can do anything you wish to do, have anything you wish to have, and be anything you wish to be. You don't know what you can really do until you try. All you have to do is to act on your dreams. You have the power within you to do things you never dreamed possible. You would amaze yourself if you did all the things you're capable of doing. This power becomes available to you as soon as you change some of your beliefs. Success begins in your mind.

There Is No Such Thing As No Chance Don’t think about the things you can’t do. Think about the things you can do. No matter what the level of your ability is, you have more potential than you can ever develop in a lifetime. You have powers you never dreamed of. You can do things you never thought you could do. There are no limitations to what you can do except the limitations of your own mind. Your range of available choices right now is limitless. Look at things as they can be. Never say never.

You Are Bigger Than Your Problems Your obstacles will always look large or small to you according to whether you are large or small. Understanding this will give you the courage necessary to overcome them. Courage gives you the capacity to confront what can be imagined. It gives you the ability to rise above reality. Face your difficulties directly and you’ll always win. You are more important than any of your problems.

Goal Setting: Find the ROI – Measure Your Goals
By Valerie G. Cardenas “You can’t manage it if you can’t measure it.” – Paul J. Meyer Have you heard this business quotation before? It’s one of my favorites because it’s absolutely true. Unless you have a strategy for measuring your goals, you have no way of keeping your business on track and no way of knowing when you’ve achieved success. Good management of goals begins with setting measurable goals. (You may recall my reference to SMART goals in previous blogs – Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Tangible goals.) If you’ve set measurable goals, then you’ve asked some basic questions, such as: How much? How many? By when? Now you’re ready to measure. Choose Measurements that Can be Managed for ROI Every business is different, so measurement strategies and types vary. But here are a few standards to get you thinking about measuring your business goals and determining your Return on Investment (ROI): General Business Measurements Dollars per contracts signed Number of call-backs per 100 jobs Increased your profit by [insert your goal percentage here] Sales Measurements New accounts as a percentage of total accounts Number of new accounts per day Percentage of referral business to your total business Ask yourself: How can you track your success? Or, what does success look like to you? Remember the quote we started with: You can’t manage it if you can’t measure it. Set up Dynamic, Motivational Measurements of Achievement Once you establish measurements, then share them and your checkpoints reached – even if the sharing is just with yourself. We humans need to celebrate our achievements! Create the visual that works for you. It might be a chart that shows your upward progress, a graph that compares, counts, or illustrates checkpoints reached. It might be pins on a map, numbers on a spreadsheet,…

Business Motivation – October 7, 2009
Riches Lie Within You, Not In Your Material Possessions Wealth without enjoyment is little consolation. Your real riches in life are riches of the head and Heart. Satisfaction comes when you appreciate what you have. While success is getting what you want, true happiness is wanting what you get. It’s not how much you have, but how much you enjoy that truly matters. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz, Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.
