Food for Thought

There are fewer than 100 work days remaining in the year. How will you spend those final days of the year? Will it be pondering and regretting what you have failed to accomplish; working to complete your year at breakneck speed; or, working to complete your year and looking forward to 2019? Regardless of your choice, facts are simple: YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE THAT CHOICE!

A clear vision with a precise mission statement complimented by prominent objectives, understandable strategies and workable action plans should enable you to reach the goals you have set. The challenge most often arising and facing business owners at this time during the year is simply the reality that time is running out. It is also the time of the year that critical errors are made. Too many react to their current situation versus respond. Reaction muddies the mind while an effective response will open up the thought passageways and lead to greater success.

As you ponder your situation, respond don’t react. Think through what can be done even if it will demand some extra “elbow grease” to reach the plateau. Involve your team and or others close to you who have an interest regarding your success. You just may discover a new pathway to your goals. In the words of the old philosopher and baseball great Yogi Berra of the New York Yankees, “It ain’t over ’til its over!”

Business Tips and Insights: “The 4 Corners of an Impactful Business”

Impactful is defined as “… having a powerful effect or making a strong impression.”  Virtually every business owner or leader strives to insure their individual enterprise reflects this definition in the marketplace. When this status is achieved, chances are very high that success will soon follow.

1. Communication is so vital in building an indestructible enterprise. When information is conveyed so that every impacted party is aware of what is occurring, the reason for the particular action and the ultimate goal, it builds an appreciation and an alliance for the organization. Regardless of agreement over the action, the simple fact that time and care was given to convey the information in a straightforward manner will be appreciated. This also holds true for interaction with clients. The impactful business is one that keeps clients informed and also tells them simply what they need to hear, not necessarily what they want to hear. Knowledge is a great power tool when it is utilized. Convey that knowledge through your communication efforts with those who need to understand. As business great Max De Pree once pointed out, “There may be no single thing more important in our efforts to achieve meaningful work and fulfilling relationships than to learn to practice the art of communication.”
