Success is the goal of all businessmen. And because of this, it always becomes the top priority in business. But success is intangible, and that it makes it so hard to achieve. So how could you possibly become successful?
The answer is to plan and organize the things within your company. Your door to success is choosing the right keys. Below are the ten keys to let success into your business:
Key #1: Be a serious dreamer.
Picture yourself in the next few years. Be a positive thinker. It may sound ridiculous but it will motivate you to become serious in anything you plan, especially when it comes to planning your success.
Key #2: Aim for your goal.
It’s time to set business goals in accordance to your interests and values. This will help you become more motivated in accomplishing your goals. In addition, you will save yourself a lot of frustration in the future if you follow what your heart desires.
Key #3: Aim high!
It is not bad if you aim for higher goals as long as it is achievable on time. Aiming for higher goals will not result in any resentment in the near future. It is better if you set higher goals and trim them down later on, than make a number of smaller goals that don’t lead to your primary goal of success.
Key #4: List all the possible changes you will have to make.
Think about the specific steps you have to undertake to change things around in your company. It is good to have a list of detailed steps, with deadlines for achieving them.
Key #5: Clarify all skills needed to achieve your set of goals.
You should also be able to think of the proper skills you could use in achieving your goals. You may cut your budget by maximizing the potential skills you could very well do on your won. To do this, here are some suggestions:
Clearly define a brand for your business, which you could use as a basis for all your moves.
Learn to master the art of writing to save money on all your promotions.
Spend some time learning how to directly market your company in order to reach a wider audience and achieve higher sales.
Learn to manage your company through your own capabilities in order to know fully the ins and outs of your business.
Key #6: Make your goals achievable.
Be realistic in setting up your goals. Consider some things first before you dive into the things you plan to achieve. Consider the time, money, and capabilities of your company before anything else.
Key #7: Make a 1-year plan.
After all things have been settled, you are now ready to plan your success. It is advisable to make long-term plans because this will enable you to see clearly the things you have achieved.
Key #8: Specify the moves you make to achieve your goals.
Specifying things will help you see more of what you plan to do. You have to make an outline of your goals, with the specific steps you plan to undertake. All of these should be included in your 1-year plan.
Key #9: Mark all the things you will do within a year on your calendar.
Speaking of an organized plan, you should be able to record all the things you plan to do on your calendar. This will highlight the things you already have achieved and the things you still have to do. It is very important to keep track of your plans.
Key #10: Always make assessments on your plan.
You should be able to follow up on your own plans. Changes are inevitable so do not be frustrated if you have to make some changes. What is important is that you are able to cope with the changes and can proceed to achieving your goals.
The Politics of the Third Gender: Gay People in the Workplace
I so believed that the top rated reality show, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy has put gay men into the “respect” zone when the show itself proved that there is nothing wrong with gay people and their sexual orientation. Well, for one, the show did prove something worthy aside that it is very interesting. However, amidst the fact that the famous Fab 5 conquered the hearts of straight men as well as of straight women (in another gay reality show, Queer Eye for the Straight Girl) on the airwaves, the show did not actually changed the state of most queer people around the globe.
Make Your “Tail” Long By Producing Contents With Value
It has been a long time since we talk about “content”. As on my previous discussions, I have emphasized often that content drives traffic to your site. Needless to say, we already knew about this. But what exactly are the ways that make content valuable?
Corporate Websites: Surely Not the Last People Standing on the Web
The Internet perhaps, serves to create and cater a form of pop culture rather than be considered effective medium for communication. Arguments on semantics through written texts and other forms of miscommunication proved this point. Yes, this kind of cases happen everyday on chat, forums, blog posts, etc. However, just like CE’s discussion about online communication, this fault should not be blamed on the medium itself but on the people who are getting the wrong notions about how the Internet can be both a powerful and effective tool for communication.
