I Challenge Me
The Forth of July is one of my top three holidays of the year. Reason being
is that it represents how our country gained its freedom & independence. So,
each year at this time I recommit myself to gaining my freedom & independence.
We all dream about having financial & time freedom but how many actual work
at achieving it? Not that many because they believe that they do not have a chance
at it. No matter how old you are or what stage of your life you are at now, it can
happen for you.
As for the title of this post it is what I am doing this month. Taking on a few
challenges that will help me achieve my dreams. I have tried to do these things
but on & off and that just doesn't work. You have to be consistent in your efforts
no matter what you are trying to improve in your life.
For instance this blog has not been posted to on a regular basis in the last few
months & that does not help me in achieving my dreams. So, I have signed
up for the Ultimate Blog Challenge, where we are to post to our blog for 31
days straight. I am all ready behind but will catch up & follow through on this.
This is something I will use to build my network so it is important to keep it up
and maintain it.
Then there is this 31 day email challenge that I stepped up for. It is a know fact that
the money is in the list so, why have I not build my like I should? Why have you not
built yours yet? Well that is changing this month as I am going to be in list building
mode from here on out. Again this is a skill that I have to learn and apply in order to
get what I want.
This is just a couple of the things that I am willing to change so that my life will move
to the next level. There are other challenges I am taking on also for the simply reason is
that I want to experience more out of life and I am the only one who is going to make
that happen. Also want to find or inspire others to do the same for themselves so, they
can get what they want.
Dreams do still come true and yours can also. Lets make it happen.

How Badly Do You Want Freedom
With the 4th of July holiday approaching us in the U.S.A., I felt this is the
ideal time to get this message out to you. I do not know about you but for
me the 4th is one of the top holidays for me during the year. It just seems
to be a reminder of how this country was formed and that we have the
chance to obtain our personal freedom if we are willing to do what it takes
for it.
Now is a good time for everyone to consider their situation and decide what
they are going to do about it. Read that statement again because it is the
only way things are going to change for you. You have to decide it and then
make it happen.
There are three kinds of people in the world – those who make things happen,
those who watch things happen and those who wonder what the heck has just
happened!
Most of the time, people who want to achieve freedom badly enough will fall into
the first category of ‘happening’ people.
Freedom can come in many forms – time freedom, financial freedom or the
freedom to spend time with your friends, relatives, church members and other
community services. There is also health freedom that many are in search of.
But there is one very important thing about freedom…
Freedom isn't free! You have to fight for it. The American colonists fought for
their independence in a bloody war just because they wanted to be free. But in
network marketing, we are fighting a very different kind of war… it is a war of freedom.
The American economy hasn't been stable as of late. If you do not fight hard for
your cash, you will wind up being swept away by the tide. After all, getting more
money isn't an easy affair anymore. Investors are starting to save money. Customers
are no longer willing to spend. Banks are tightening their credit and rising oil prices
are making lives harder and harder for people.
When you consider time freedom, you must also remember that this is the 21st century.
We have microwaves, cable ‘on-demand’ TV, faster downloads, more convenient
transport and instant email. However, our lives are not getting easier. People are
expecting more and more. Working hours are no longer 9-5 as employees work late into
the night for the same pay. For the first time since the history of the industrial revolution,
people are actually working more and more for the same or less pay.
Lastly, when you consider the stress of the world and the strain it takes on relationships,
you must fight for your loved ones more and more! Being buried in the office isn’t a
productive way to live your life. After all, no one lies on their deathbed wondering if they
should have spent more time in the office.
When you consider all the facts above, one striking fact remains… Are you working hard
enough in your network marketing business? Are you giving your very best for your
downlines? Are you working hard to be a good ambassador of your great business
opportunity? At the end of the day, are you working hard enough to attain your freedom?
Only you can answer this question – how badly do you want your freedom?
This article is geared towards those in network marketing but the major idea can be applied
even if you are not. There are some others ways to fight for your freedom such as
learning how to better your money and investing in yourself.
So, if you are ready to fight for your freedom once and for all, join me as I begin
my journey. Contact me so that we can go over the plan I will be using and see
if it is something that will work for you.

Sorry, There Will Not Be A Replay
Real quick! I just got news from Ferny, Ray and Tim that tonight's
'Instant Results Formula' training webinar will NOT be recorded!
They are looking for serious folks who are committed to using their
system for quick results and are basically assuming that whoever is
on tonight's webinar is committed!
Over 1300 people are registered for this webinar, which only holds
1000. However, if you arrive at least 30 - 40 minutes early, you will
likely be able to grab a spot.
They will also be launching No Excuses Summit 5 tickets, in case
you want them to personally walk you step-by-step through the
'Instant Results Formula' they will be revealing tonight.
You Don’t Have To Start Over.
Have you ever had this happen to you…
You start building a mailing list. Using highly effective techniques, you begin collecting subscribers.
Your list grows and grows… and reasonably, you’d expect your profits to increase as well, right?
Bet you were surprised when your revenue stayed stagnant. Yeah, I was too.
Click here to find out how to breathe life into a dying mailing list (without starting over!) http://bit.ly/1kHbdRY
My good friend, Dr. Ben Adkins, is exposing how a promising mailing list can turn sour. And he’s bringing it to you live on Friday, February 14th at 10am EST on the “FUMP Launch Party.”
That means you can get direct access, and ask him any questions you may have!
Honestly, I never thought it was possible to revive a dead list…
But by using a carefully crafted set of emails, Dr. Ben’s revealing his step-by-step method for transforming a cold list into a steady profit stream.

Talk to you soon,
Lorenzo
P.S. The doors are only open on this offer for a limited time. So if your list is on it’s way to the grave (or you just want to put some ‘oomph’ in your profits), the only way to secure your spot is by clicking the link above now.
Secrets to Masterful Manifestation
How would you like to become more skilled at turning your dreams into
reality with greater ease?
I know I’m sure in for that! And if becoming more masterful at
manifestation is something that appeals to you too, I’ve got great news.
On Saturday, February 8th at 10:00 am Pacific time, 1:00 pm Eastern time,
The Shift Network is hosting Marcia Wieder, the founder of Dream University
and personal coach to thought leaders like Jack Canfield, on a FREE
call titled: From Magical Thinking to Masterful Manifestation:
How to Create Real Results.
Register here for FREE: http://bit.ly/1dwz2Dm
What I love most about Marcia is she’s known as the “practical
visionary’s” teacher. Her approach to manifestation doesn't promise
to make it effortless or instant (which are more magical fantasies),
but rather how to make it more joyful, exciting, and effective, as well
as aligned with your heart and soul.
Marcia knows, perhaps better than anyone I’ve ever come in contact
with, how to help you tap into your natural enthusiasm and use your
passion as your fuel to take your vision and boldly turn them into
concrete, successful results. She's deeply spiritual and no-nonsense
practical at the same time.

Basic Taxes for Home Based Business Owners
Taxes are the one expense that universally every business has
to worry about. Many business owners don't pay enough attention
to taxes. Your taxes can amount to as much as a third of all your
income. It makes sense to learn as much as you can about how
to mitigate and reduce your taxes.
Here are some of the most important things you need to know
about how to lower your tax bill, while still keeping on Uncle Sam's
good side.
==> Document, Document, Document
The secret to success with taxes is to document everything.
Document where all your income came from. Document all your
expenses. Document who you ate dinner with and what you talked
about.
Receipts can be stored physically or digitally. There are a lot of
different scanning and record keeping services online today that
make it easy to keep accurate records.
==> Cash Method versus Accrued Method
Decide whether to use the cash method or the accrued method
for tracking your expenses. Talk to your accountant to see which
makes the most sense for your company.
With the cash method, you count your profits and losses the
moment cash is made or lost. With accrued, you count it when
the cashflow is added to the books, rather than when the cash hits
the bank. So if you make a sale today but don't get paid for 60 days,
that money is still accrued today.
This has a huge impact on your taxes. For example, with the cash
method, if you had a big profit this year you could pay up front for all
your advertising for the next six months and actually "lose money"
for the year even though you were profitable.
==> You Get about $5,000 Free Each Year
Know that every year you get about $5,000 of tax free income.
The exact number changes from year to year.
==> Deducting Your Home Office
If you have a home office, that office can be deducted. In order for
this to count, you must have an area of your home that's used
exclusively for business.
Figure out what percentage of your home's square footage is taken
up by your home office. You can deduct that percentage of your rent
as a business expense.
==> Depreciation
Depreciation is a tax credit for "things breaking down" or getting less
valuable over time. All office equipment, including computers and
printers and chairs, has depreciation deductions.
If you own your home, you can even get a depreciation deduction
for your home office space.
==> Turbo Tax versus Accountants
Should you file your own taxes or should you hire an accountant?
If your taxes are relatively simple and you've filed your taxes with an
accountant for the last few years, using TurboTax is perfectly okay.
On the other hand, if it's your first time filing taxes as a home based
business, going with a real accountant can help make the process a
lot smoother. They'll be able to answer any questions you have and
help you identify ways to save money.
Taxes are a complex thing. Fortunately, you really only need to figure
it out once. Once you know how it works, you'll be able to track all your
expenses and deductions in a fairly intuitive manner.

Top Questions to Ask before Launching Your Own Business
If you have decided to launch a business, you have made a very courageous choice.
There are many things you need to know before launching a new business. There is
inventory to take into consideration, initial start-up cost and upkeep, hiring employees,
sales, marketing...and the list goes on extensively.
Here are some top questions you need to ask yourself before launching your own business.
Are you launching this business for the right reasons? Sometimes an individual or a
group of individuals will launch a business because they think it is expected of them or
because it is a family tradition to do so. Other reasons are simply for the monetary benefits.
With high hopes of making tons of money, sometimes a new entrepreneur may lose sight
of his or her customer.
Once you examine your motives behind starting up a new business, go on to the next
important question. Once you know what type of business you want to begin, ask yourself
who your target audience is. Knowing that you want to create a business and knowing what
that business is will simply not be enough. You need to know who your target audience is
and who your ideal customer is.
Honing in on a target audience is something that you can delve into even deeper by creating
a specific niche and then going on to create a sub-niche. In this manner, you will be certain
that you have focused on a specific need for an even more specific customer.
Have you thoroughly researched your action plan? Setting goals and measuring them is
essential when launching a new business. Put a plan into motion, but allow yourself flexibility
to expand on that original plan. Ask yourself if your business plan is too narrow minded or if
it will achieve the desired outcome you seek and go beyond even that.
Make sure you research if there is enough demand for the product or service you are offering
or if you will be just another company offering the same old thing. Ask yourself if you can put a
new innovative twist onto something tried and true.
Ask yourself how much time you are willing to dedicate to this business. What if this business
is something that you will find success with right away? Are you willing and able to put the time
and trouble in if it does become successful right away?
Also, think about whether or not this is a part-time business or a full-time endeavor. Do you have
enough funds to last for six months to a year until your business becomes steady enough to stand
on its own two feet?
Once you are able to answer these important questions, you can be well on your way to having
a successful business endeavor.

Are You Done Yet?
A few years back there was a movie called "Are We There Yet"
that featured Ice Cube and Nia Long as the leading actor & actress.
It was based on them taking a trip along with Nia's two kids and
the things they went thru on the trip.
Children being impatience as they can be where asking are we
there yet to know if they had reached their destination. Doing also
to be annoying to the grown ups.
That gave me the idea for the title of this post as to what I wanted
to write about.
You see I have seen a trend during the summer & winter around
the holidays that we have a number of deaths in the community.
Now I know that people die all the time but when it is close to
home or within your own family it should make you take notice.
Take notice of it how you may ask. To that I say that should
show you that life is short even if you live to be 100 years old.
Another way to say it is that you do not have a lot time to get
things done. So, if you want to see them actually accomplished
then you better get busy.Time does not stand still or wait on
anyone.
If you do not make the most of it while you can it will be lost
never to get it back. You can leverage it by getting others to
do some of the things you do now. Or eliminate the ones that
are not moving you forward in life.
It is one of my resolutions to better manage my time so that
I can get more done & have the time to spend with my family
& friends. Plus do other things that I think are important &
to have some fun.
To be more successful this you do the things you need to do
to get you where you want to go. Or want to accomplish so,
when it is time to crossover there will not be any regrets.

New Year and New Beginnings
Well I want to take this time to welcome you all to your chance at
new beginnings. Since it is the start of a new year it is also your
opportunity start a new project that will help you get what you want.
I say a new beginning because most people have not moved forward
on any or the majority of their goals from last year which they could
build on. People are good at talking about what they are going to
do but never get started. If they do start they seem to never finish
it like they are suppose to.
That is why they never have the success which they are looking
for. Isn't it time to stop that vicious cycle and to start taking
action to complete what it is you are after?
For me it is one of the biggest problems I have and the one that I
shall be working on overcoming the hardest this year. If you would
just put down on paper what you want, develop a plan to get it and
then work that plan until it is accomplished how great it would be.
If you are ready to finally get something done then be on the lookout
as I will be posting more tips and suggestions to help you.
Looking forward to all of your success this year as it is your turn
to make it happen. It all depends on you taking action.

Staying Motivated - How to Help Yourself
In the beginning you were likely gung-ho about starting your
own business. Maybe some of that fire is starting to flicker out.
So, how can you stay motivated?
It is the hardest thing next to getting into business in the first place.
When times get tough you may decide that you want to throw in the
towel. Before you make that decision, however, consider a few ways
that you can help yourself to regain your zest for running the business.
First, ask yourself a few questions:
* Why did you start the business in the first place? Don’t underestimate
the power of your memory. Were you working for someone else but
wanting to be your own boss? If you don’t want to return to that way of life,
then don’t give up when the chips are down.
* How are things looking for your competition? It could be that everyone is
having a slow season. Evaluate your growth compared to others in your
niche. There are two things that can motivate you to keep going here.
One - your competition is doing better than you are. A little friendly rivalry is
healthy. You can opt to step up your game and learn from whatever others
in your niche are doing to make financial gains where you are not.
Two - if your competition is in the same boat, you can rise above the
mediocrity to make your business a household name. Remember what you
started the business for. If you are going to make a living and reach your
goals, keep the big picture in mind.
* What are your goals? Each business has to remain focused in order to
move forward. Your goals set the path along which you will travel. But, if your
goals are non-existent or they aren't strong enough to support your business,
then it is time to re-evaluate and change them to become the appropriate
platform to help you gain success.
Now that you have asked yourself some questions, here are a few suggestions
to help you continue to push forward.
Get sage advice – Consult a trusted advisor or business coach. They can help
you to regain your focus and also set a new course for your business should you
need that. Choose someone who has found success in your niche as well as
experience in the areas of business you need help with.
Gain camaraderie on forums – Visit and become a participating part of niche
business forums. You can find out tips to help you move forward in your business.
Don’t neglect local business associations and their ability to help you.
Above all, cut yourself some slack. As long as you are committed to your business,
give yourself the space to grow.

What is Self Esteem
What is self esteem? It is merely an opinion of how you see yourself.
There are two types namely high self esteem and low self esteem and
between the two, it is better to have the first. This is because high
self-esteem enables you to love yourself for who you are while low self
esteem doesn’t make you grow as a person and make you successful.
But where do you get self-esteem? Well as a child, you get it from your
parents. If they raised you right and praised you for your achievements,
chances are you will have a positive outlook of yourself and life. If
you happen to be raised by parents who are not very caring, well you won’t
see the positive qualities you have and will have an angry outlook at the world.
You can also get this from your friends and your peers because sometimes,
how we feel about ourselves is based on the perception of others. If you are
able to ignore the negative sentiment, you are fine because you don’t let
such words affect you.
In the end though, your self esteem comes from inside you. To figure that out,
you can ask yourself some simple questions. Do you like who you are? Are you
happy? Do you think you are a good person? Most of the time, the answer is yes
even if sometimes you have doubts about yourself.
To get rid of those doubts, well you should first accept your faults and
realize that you are not the only one that has this problem. Everyone has a
few flaws that they want to get rid of so you must have the willingness to
change in order to improve yourself.
Another thing you should accept is that you are different from the rest.
This is not only in terms of your physical attributes but also who you are
personally just like each person has their own set of fingerprints that can
never be duplicated by anyone else.
For those that need help, well they can get counseling to improve their
self-esteem or listen to self-help tapes that are designed to do the same
thing as well.
Another technique which won’t cost you a thing will be to write down on a
piece of paper 50 things you like about yourself and then cherishing it. Since
we all grow and change every single day, try to write down one good thing you
did about yourself daily so you can look up and realize that you are not a bad
person.
When you have high self esteem, you are less likely to do anything destructive to
yourself or to others. This is because you have a positive outlook about life and
are always optimistic about the future. With that, you can probably say you can
get anything you want out of life when you have this quality but remember not to
confuse it with being too overconfident because there are two different things.
Another benefit of high self esteem is being able to have an easier time handling
problems and resisting negative pressures. But we should not forget that is
something that we inherit and not something we are born with. This can change in
the years to come only if we allow it and if this happens, hopefully we can be
better than who we were before rather than going the opposite direction.

So let's cut to the chase here...
You have 2 choices. You can either keep avoiding the #1 closing tool in existence and stay broke like 99% of the rest of our industry...
Or you can learn to pick up the phone, and start closing new reps faster and easier than you likely ever thought possible!!
It's time to stop avoiding the phone, period!!...
You've gotten the wrong idea. You've heard that the internet lets you avoid having to use the phone all together, and so you jumped on that falsehood... And you've probably been suffering financially because of it...
Actually what the internet does is let you suck in the leads like crazy, so that you actually have people to call, talk too (gasp!!) and bring into your business...
TONIGHT at 9PM Eastern...the master of the phone, Bill Pescosolido is going to show you exactly how he's able to pull in 10 to 15 reps every month like clockwork, simply by having short conversations with his leads on the phone.
You won't believe how brain-dead simple Bill makes it until you HEAR it from him...
==> http://lorenzorothery.mlsp.com/
If you're pulling in leads, but you're still not generating the kind of revenue that you want...the phone is likely the missing piece of the puzzle!!...
Even if you're brand new, and scared to death to talk to your leads about your business...after what Bill reveals TONIGHT on the MLSP Weekly Webinar at 9PM Eastern...you'll be able to zoom past your competition simply by dialing up the phone and chatting with people that are EXCITED to hear from YOU...
This isn't rocket science...
For anyone to join your business...you've got to show them that they can trust you...
The fastest way to do that is to show them that you're a real human who actually cares enough about them to pick up the phone and call. Then they start to like you...then they join your business!!...
It's a lost art, but Bill has it mastered, and he's going to show you how to do exactly the same on tonight's Webinar at 9PM Eastern!!...
==> http://lorenzorothery.mlsp.com/
Here's what Bill's going to pull back the curtain on TONIGHT at 9PM Eastern...
- How to immediately establish rapport and gain trust with your prospects in 5 minutes or less (this little secret is how this dude sponsors 10-15 leaders PER MONTH!)
- How to command YOUR authoritative voice and provide value to your prospects even if you're day 1 online (WARNING: WITHOUT THIS IN PLACE NOBODY will ever BUY FROM YOU or JOIN YOUR BUSINESS, period)
- In 10 minutes we're going to smash your phone fears in the face so that you can set yourself FREE and prove how easy it is to get on the phone, communicate, and refer and recruit prospects into your business EVERY day!
- AND SO MUCH MORE!

[URGENT] I had to share this now
I don't know about you but it is time for me to start
making things happen instead of waiting for them to
happen. You know why, because it never happens.
We are only here on planet earth for a short while
so, we need to make the most of it while we are here.
When you show up for work tomorrow, the 4th quarter
will be in play.
That's right, three quarters down, and one to go...
are you going to use it to finish the year strong?
Think about it...the year is now 75% complete.
And, if you had ambitions of making $200,000 this
year, you should NOW have $150,000 in the bag.
If you set a goal of paying down $20,000 in debt,
you should be $15,000 lighter by today.
If you started the year overweight and determined
to lose 30 pounds, then you should have dropped 23
pounds and be wearing baggy pants right about now.
Are you on track with any of your goals?
Have you surpassed your expectations?
Are you even close?
YOU cannot possibly believe that if you keep on
doing things just as you've been all year that
your results will somehow turnaround and improve.
TODAY IS REDEMPTION DAY
If you're ready to make a change, to redeem
yourself and finish the year strong then you must
step up your game and RISE TO THE CHALLENGE.
And the best program in the world for achieving
all of those objectives is the 100 Day FINISH
STRONG Challenge.
http://bit.ly/ziqOMP
Do not hesitate to act as enrollment closes in
just a few hours, and this day of redemption will
come to be know as a day of regret.
Live without regrets, take control of your future,
and use the extreme performance acceleration to
finish the year with a BANG.

you're going to be very happy
that you took action!

Change Your Life in 100 Days
This is important so, read it right away.
Consider the implication of this idea...
What if I were to follow you with a camera crew 24
hours a day, 7 days a week for the next 100 days
while you went for your goals?
I bet 3 things would happen...
1. You would START doing the things you say you
need to do.
2. You would STOP doing the things you know you
shouldn't be doing.
3. You would MAKE monumental performance gains and
change your life.
This is ALL possible through the discipline of
accountability.
Accountability serves and protects your character,
credibility and commitments. It ensures that what
you want to accomplish gets accomplished.
Throughout every area of your life it's important
to understand that ALL unfinished goals, projects
and relationships are the result of broken promises,
unfulfilled commitments, and lack of accountability.
With that reality in mind, I wanted to share with
you an exciting opportunity to achieve every goal
you set, to enforce ultimate accountability into
your life, and show you how you can make
monumental performance gains.
I have found a program that I believe to be the most
comprehensive approach to goal setting and
performance enhancement.
It's called the 100 Day Challenge and it's all about
using the last 100 days of the year to FINISH STRONG.
I've seen it, and it's an amazing piece of work.
But you don't have to take my word for it, check
it out for yourself:
http://bit.ly/ziqOMP
Listen. I'm so impressed with this 100 Day
Challenge, that I'll be participating in the program
myself and using it to finish the year strong.
Join me over the next 100 Days, or, at the very
minimum, take a serious look at this as it could
change your life--QUICKLY.

The Importance of September 23rd
September 23rd may very well prove to be the most
important day of your life.
Why?
#1 It marks the final 100 days of the year.
#2 It provides you with an opportunity to redeem
yourself by finishing the year strong.
#3 It represents the turning point in your life
and will come to symbolize, the day you took full
control of your destiny.
Since you've read this far, consider a few
questions:
How many of your goals have you accomplished so
far this year?
Have your current strategies made you healthier,
wealthier and happier?
If you continue doing what you've done these past
265 days where will you be, and what will you be
doing on Jan 1, 2014?
Will you be struggling, spinning your wheels in
the same place you are now?
Why would you want that?
Especially when you could be...
Confidently executing the plan that launches your
new online business...Or, completing the manuscript
that makes you a best selling author...OR
finishing the year strong and exceeding your
annual sales quota.
I'd like to show you how, and here's a great video
series and special report for you to check out:

weight in gold as it shows you how to create huge

How to Make Customers Love Your Small Business
Customers are the heart and soul of your business. Without them there just isn’t a business.
And when you have loyal and devoted customers it just makes being a business owner the
best thing in the world. There’s nothing like building a community of like-minded individuals.
So what can you do to build and grow the love? Here are a few ideas to make your customers
love your small business.
Freebies
Everyone enjoys a good freebie. When you provide your customers with regular value that
costs them nothing, not even their email address, they really start to feel appreciated. They
also start to truly appreciate you too. Freebies can come in the form of promotional offers
like a BOGO (buy one get one).
You can also share free downloads and information. It’s more than offering free content.
Offer free downloads too. Think about reports, videos, checklists, comparison charts,
workbooks, and lists. Help your customer by providing extra value for free.
Superior Customer Service
Over deliver when it comes to customer service. Provide them with an exceptional customer
service experience and make sure the experience is consistent. Each time you interact with
a customer - whether it is on a social networking site, via telephone or email or face to
face - make sure they know how much you appreciate them.
How? Create systems that support a great experience. Autoresponders can ensure each
customer email is acknowledged in a timely manner. Apparent policies and procedures and
a FAQ page can help ensure customers can easily find answers to their questions. And a
friendly, polite, and welcoming communication can reinforce your customer service vision.
Quality!
Make sure everything you do is done to the best of your ability. Always put forth quality
information, products and services. Quality matters. It not only helps you earn customer love;
it also helps build credibility and authority in your industry. People will share the good news
about you and your business. You’ll receive referrals and recommendations. It’s one of the
best ways to build a business.
Create high expectations for yourself and your business. Then rise up to the challenge to
meet them. Provide an exceptional customer service experience. Give your customers a
steady supply of no cost value, and take steps to ensure each and every product or service
you deliver or represent is top notch.
Treat your customers like you want to be treated and you’ll be well on your way to building a
loyal and loving customer list. They’ll buy from you more often. They’ll refer you to others and
they’re the best people to work with. Loving customers make being a business owner worthwhile.

How to Streamline Your Business Processes
If you own and operate your own online business then chances
are you have a multitude of processes. Each process contributes
to your bottom line. And each process consumes time. Your time
is money as they say. If you take the time to streamline your
processes you can make more money in less time. Here are
four steps to streamline your business processes.
are you have a multitude of processes. Each process contributes
to your bottom line. And each process consumes time. Your time
is money as they say. If you take the time to streamline your
processes you can make more money in less time. Here are
four steps to streamline your business processes.
Step #1 Test and Time
Do you know how long it takes you to accomplish each core task
associated with your business? For example, do you know how
long it takes you to pay your bills each month? Bill paying is a task
that doesn't generate any income. Therefore it makes sense to
reduce the time spent and streamline the process as much as possible.
The first step to streamlining your processes is to gather the data. Time
yourself with each of your core processes. For example, when you sit
down to pay your bills this month, write the time that you start. When
you’re finished, take note of how long it took you to complete the task.
Repeat this process with each of your business tasks.
Step #2 Know The Value Of Your Time
Do you know your hourly value? This is essentially your annual income
divided by the number of hours you work each year. It’s often easier to
determine if you break it down by month. So how much did you work last
month and how many hours did you work? For example, if you worked
20 hours a week last month and you earned $3600 then your hourly
value is 3600/80 (assuming there were four weeks in the month) or $45/hour.
The value of your time is important. It serves as a motivator to spend more
time on profit generating tasks and less time on administrative or management
tasks. Additionally, it’ll help you make budgetary decisions when deciding how
to streamline processes.
For example, if you are trying to streamline your bill paying processes and you
determine that it’ll cost you $35/hour to outsource the task to a bookkeeper then
you know that it is a financially wise decision. You’ll save $10/hour. Of course this
is assuming you replace that hour you would have spent paying bills with a profit
generating task.
Step #3 Look for Ways to Save Time
In step #2 outsourcing was mentioned. There are essentially three main ways to
streamline a process. You can:
Outsource or delegate
Use templates or blueprints
Automate processes
As you’re working through each task, always look for opportunities to save time.
Embrace the tools that make sense for your business.
Once you've added technology or outsourced some or all of the task, consider timing
the task again. Just as you did in step #1, assess how long it takes you to complete
each task. Also occasionally evaluate your hourly value. Ultimately, the goal is to make
more and do less.
The Most Effective Sources To Improve Your Personality
It's been said that if you want to earn more then you have to become or
grow more. What it means is that you have do personal development to
become a more effective person when dealing with others.
You must have asked yourself this question often, “How do I improve
my personality and become a more effective person?” People
throughout the ages have realized that personality is a very important
contributor to success. Indeed, you cannot succeed without having a
great personality. When you are inspiring, confident, charming, optimistic,
etc. you are improving your personality. The sheer magnetic effect that it
adds to your charisma is what brings you to success.
But, where do you go to improve your personality? There are actually
various places where you can learn.
The most effective school for building a personality is life itself. Learn
from the people that you meet everyday. Just think about the people who
inspire you the most. What do they have that you don’t? What is it that
makes you and other people drawn to them? Surely it is not just about
physical looks. When we are talking about success in business, a person’s
physicality does not really matter. So, there’s something else. Maybe:-
(i) These people are more self-confident than you are,
(ii) These people are able to do things by themselves in a much
better way than you can,
(iii) These people are able to speak and communicate in a better way,
(iv) These people have a better sense of humor,
(v) These people are friendlier
…and so on. These are the things that really build their personality. Analyze
which of these traits they have and try to emulate them in your own personality.
Even if you take one positive trait from the influential people that you meet and
work them in your own personality, you can see how your life will be improved.
The second source – and a very considerable source too – to hone your
personality is through books. Some of the best sellers of the world have been
personality development books. Some names that come to mind without any
effort are:-
(i) How to win Friends and influence People
(ii) Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
(iii) The Secret
(iv) Who moved my Cheese?
(v) Rich Dad, Poor Dad
(vi) The entire Chicken Soup series of books
These are just a few examples. Go to the nearest bookstore and you will find
so many titles. Even if currently you think that books cannot teach you anything,
you must make an attempt at least. Read any one of these titles and you will
see how they can influence your way of thinking. You won’t have to do anything
special, but these books will add to the richness of your life.
Improving personality is not something that you can start and then stop; it has
to be an ongoing process. Start learning from these sources and you will see
that you reach where you want to.
