Improve Productivity with Communication

Written By Paul J. Meyer. (Reprinted with permission) Business leaders often state that one of the greatest needs in the workplace is people who can communicate. Once goal setting and planning are accomplished, goals and plans must be communicated to others whose cooperation is needed. Effective communication unifies employees and their work to the overall purpose and direction of the organization. Through communication, you raise your organization’s levels of energy, enthusiasm, and productivity! Mastering the art of communication is a complex process demanding time and ongoing effort. But choosing to continually improve your communication skills increases your productivity dramatically and the productivity of those around you.

Business Motivation – May 29, 2009

All Great Achievements Take Time Every big accomplishment is a series of little accomplishments. To achieve maximum success you must accept that progress is made one step at a time. A building is built one brick at a time. Football games are won one play at a time. A business grows bigger one customer at a time. You walk over the highest mountain one step at a time. Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out. Nothing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or an apple miraculously appears. If you want to grow an apple, you must give it time. There must be time for it to blossom, bear fruit and then ripen. That which grows fast, withers as rapidly. That which grows slowly, endures. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

A Good System Shortens the Road to a Goal Your goals can only be reached through the vehicle of a plan. One in which you fervently believe, and upon which you will vigorously act. There is no other route to success. Having an intelligent plan is your first step to success. With a plan, you know where you’re going. You’ll know what progress you’re making. And you’ll have a pretty good idea of when you can expect to arrive. Meticulous planning will enable everything you do to appear spontaneous to other people. What do you want to achieve or avoid? The answers to these questions are your objectives. How do you go about achieving your desired results? The answer to this will be your strategy. A good plan permits you to frame your life so that at some time in the future fact and your dreams will meet. Success or failure is often determined on the drawing board. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

You Can Make Your Dreams a Reality You have the power and the opportunity to change your life. You can make anything you want of it. It’s not difficult, it just takes some effort. See things as you would have them be instead of as they are. Develop a personal plan that focuses on what you want, not on what you have. Your imagination will show you how to turn your possibilities into reality. Visualize your goals and your subconscious will begin to work toward making those mental pictures come true. If you picture yourself vividly as winning, that alone will contribute immeasurably to your success. Knowing your destination is the first step you need to get there. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

Successful People Make Decisions It’s your life. You decide what you’re going to do with it. If you don’t run your own life, someone else will. You’re in control of your life to the degree that you make decisions. To control the outcome of anything, you control the action at the point of decision making. If you let others make decisions for you, you give up control. When you control the decisions, you control the actions. Take charge of your life, so there is no longer a need to ask permission of others. When you ask permission, you’re giving someone “veto” power over your life. Only you are responsible for your life. Take control and start making those decisions. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

Small Business Motivation – May 12, 2009

You’re Always in Charge of You While your character is formed by circumstances, your own desires can do much to shape those circumstances. Thus, you have the power over the formation of your own character. You’re the master of your fate and the captain of your soul. Nature is always at work around you. Your character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives you love and hate, jealousy and reverence. You have the power to choose which impulse you will follow. You can at any time decide to alter the course of your life. No one can ever take that away from you. The greatest power you possess is the power to choose. You’re the master of your joys and your sorrows. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.

Small Business Motivation – May 8, 2009

Empower your small business in anyway you can with proven tools, perspectives, attitudes and actions that will give you an edge and the ability to take charge of the situation at hand. Belief Makes Everything Possible In order to succeed, you must first believe you can. The only thing that stands between you and what you want from life, is the will to try it and the faith to believe that it’s possible. The only true limit to your realization of tomorrow will be your doubts of today. The moment you carry the conviction of belief, in that moment your dream will become reality. There are no real barriers to your success. You must simply overcome any doubts you have about your ability. If you think you can, you can. === Reprinted with permission Sam Maitz Director of Marketing Technology Leadership Management® International, Inc.
