Casual Articles - Are you a POLY or a MONO? Knowing Which Could Make you Rich
Do you want to succeed in developing and maintaining your needed strategic alliance, collaboration or partnering relationship? Then you must be ready to overcome the pitfalls and roadblocks before they arise--before they kill your alliance. Three of these such pitfalls are: Goals, Facts and Procedures Based.Goals Based PitfallsIn situations where a customer is the driving force behind a Partnering arrangement, you can be left holding the bag. Be sure to examine each Partnering proposal in the context of your company's overall business strategy. This challenge was recently apparent to IBM and it discontinued its alliance with Somerset PowerPC and Motorola, in producing m
For the MONOs:
It's harder for me to understand the way you think, but I've met enough of you to have some advice and observations.
- Step One:
You like just reading the words "step one" don't you?
Break your list of jobs down into smaller tasks and list them out.
For example, consider an idea you might have for an eBook about say, "how to quit smoking".
The "to do" item on your list should not say "write an eBook about how to quit smoking". Instead your "to do" list
Distribution packaging provides the first and most important line of defense against the hazards of the distribution environment. A well-designed distribution package can make an immediate and significant contribution to a company’s bottom line by reducing or eliminating product damage and decreasing transportation costs. A properly designed package will also enhance company image.The packaging design mission is to achieve optimum cost by balancing the sensitivity of the product with the protection provided by the packaging to match the hazards existing in the distribution environment.The science of distribution packaging is more sophisticated and complex than most people expe
Let's find out...
Does the thought of facing several tasks at once make you uneasy? You are likely monochronic. Do you systematically move from one completed task to another? ...monochronic
OR...
Are you capable of moving from one partially completed task to another easily? You are likely polychronic. Is your desk a maze of half completed projects? ...polychronic
Get the idea?
Do a google search on these terms for a more clinical study of what it means, but I have some specific advice for both personality types as it pertains to success with your online business.
It's important to understand the difference if you want to maximize your success in business offline or online!
NOTE: There has never been a definitive study conducted that shows that one work style is superior. It's just a matter of personality and cultural differences.
Here's my advice for both groups:
For the POLYs
Those of us who are clearly polychronic have a bit of an advantage online (in my opinion) in SOME areas. A teacher of mine once said that "a good computer program is never done". The same applies to a website or just about any online project. A good website is never truly finished. That doesn't bother us "polys". We are fine moving on and coming back later to add improvements. We are also likely to be perceived as (and usually are) master procrastinators. Don't let this bug you, just be aware that you are prone to taking on more than you can handle and it will drag down multiple projects when you do.
Setting up a thriving "multiple streams of income" business online requires you to be flexible with your business priorities as well as the ability to change tasks and direction quickly. These are our strengths as polys.
Our weakness? We are CONSTANTLY replacing the items on top of our priority list with NEW ideas and projects. This can lead to "failure to launch" anything.
TOP TIP: Guard the top priorities in your life and work. Don't let ANYTHING shake them. Tackle them FIRST everyday before a distraction can pull you away.
Keep a list of TOP PRIORITIES for the month posted where you can see it everyday.
Mark the "must do's" on your daily list and DO THEM FIRST.

Customer satisfaction and loyalty to a product is very important in any company, be it a company that is consumer oriented or a company that sells to other businesses, but is a customer satisfaction guarantee really realistic in business?What some companies do in order to attract the consumer’s loyalty is to attach a customer satisfaction guarantee behind any product they sell. What attracts consumers to these customer satisfaction guarantee offers is that they are straightforward, easy to understand and you know it to be true.However – sometimes the more often a company advertises the customer satisfaction guarantee, the more often consumers are turned off by the company.

Law enforcement is the branch of the government responsible for maintaining peace and order in society. Just like in any other profession, it is best for you to have basic knowledge of how things work before you can start serving and protecting the people. You need to refine the basic skills required to do a good job in this field. Remember that law enforcement has a lot of legalities involved in the operations, so it is best to familiarize yourself with these rules.First of all, law enforcement officials must be able to handle evidence. It is important to realize that tampered or corrupted evidence is useless in court.Second, law enforcement officials must be able to gather t

Ideas are the only assets which have no fixed values. It is equally well known that ideas are the beginning of all achievements. Ideas are the foundation of all fortunes, the starting point of all inventions.This is where it all begins. This stage, as the first, is the one on which the rest build. If you decide on the wrong idea now, then all time and money spent on the project will be a bad investment. You are destined to fail before you are far enough involved to realize it.Given its importance, it would be foolish to just take the first business idea that comes to you. There is no reason to rush unless you are sure that you are racing a competitor to market. Other

Xhanging a brand name requires a lot of energy. OpenBC, the networking company, has taken this mayor step to change their (brand) name. From now on, they are called XING.Improvement.The X as the first letter of the brand seems more than a reasonable choice. Networking is the exchanging element in productivity. There is no other letter that points that out. Exactly. It is a short and therefore easy name to remember. Long names require practice before you remember them, and there is no time to loose if you want to change your brand name. It sounds also strong. XING. Like a Chinese Giant cooperation. That is my first association with this name.Change.There is – as
For the MONOs:
It's harder for me to understand the way you think, but I've met enough of you to have some advice and observations.
- Step One:
You like just reading the words "step one" don't you?
Break your list of jobs down into smaller tasks and list them out.
For example, consider an idea you might have for an eBook about say, "how to quit smoking".
The "to do" item on your list should not say "write an eBook about how to quit smoking". Instead your "to do" list should consist of multiple smaller tasks like:
1. Go to library and scan through 2 popular books about quitting smoking for ideas
2. Do 20 minutes of Google research about "quitting smoking"
3. Make a simple 5 point outline of what my book will contain
4. Record myself talking about the 5 points revealing everything I've learned
5. Find an expert to interview who will agree to appear in my book
6. Set an appointment to interview my expert etc.
This could go on and on...it's actually quite painful for me to think that way, but for you it's a good thing!
The task of making a "to do" list is tedious, but necessary and powerful. You could probably sell your "to do" list as a great ebook when you are done!
As a POLY I would simply write "work on smoking ebook" on my "to do" list. You don't have that luxury as a MONO.
Since your personality type struggles to "move on" before a task is "done" you need to shorten your definition of a "task" to smaller, more easily completed tasks. This allows you to mentally consider the task complete and it frees you psychologically to take on other things. You can also add a number of tasks to your daily "to do" list and get them all done. This is quite rewarding for your personality type.
- Step Two:
Rewrite your master "to do" list frequently looking to eliminate "dead ideas" and "dead ends".
Be aware that you are much more likely to get married to one idea and "go down with the ship" if it doesn't work out.
Realize that you need to be constantly learning so rather than ignoring new opportunities that come along while you are "busy" make a file to hold them and reserve an hour per week to go through the "ideas" folder and consider adding a new idea to your priority list.
- Step Three:
Embrace failure as part of a good online education.
Failure is part of this business. Be willing to leave a project undone and just chalk it up to "a lesson learned" and move on. You actually can go back to it later if you'd like and rework it (just ask any POLY - we do it all the time).
- Step Four:
Redefine "completion".
In the Internet world the "perfectionists" finish last. Sad but true...
