Casual Articles - Envisioneering
A couple of weeks ago I attended an event planners Christmas function. The turnout was decent, there was no shortage of skewered prawns or celebratory cocktails and a good amount of effort had gone into the costumes worn by circulating serving staff.A few minutes into it however, I noticed one lady propped on a bar stool, looking tired and unimpressed. An ex-planner, with a career lifetime in the i
Fair warning to you lingerie shop owners, don't even think about leasing a downtown Augusta Georgia location if the sign on the door says Prime Realty! I know, because I tried twice. We have owned our little lingerie shop for about a year now. We have been selling our goods at a local flea market. We are having some moderate success doing so. However, we knew if we wanted to grow, we needed a r
To be an envisioneer, you must: first have the courage to look into the future with the recognition that there is nothing there yet, except that which you imagine; and then, the force of will to imagine a personal ideal; and then, the impertinence to believe in that imagined ideal as being more real than all that has come before or exists in this present moment. In short, you must be an idealist.
Each of us is educated to be a realist, to deal with things as they are, to see the world as it is and to 'realistically' go about making our way within what already exists, to be a creature of event and circumstance. Those who decide to shape events and circumstances to match what they envision are the idealists. They end up as the move
I live in a very progressive part of the world where it isn't hard to find a job... if you have the qualifications. I've learned however that it takes more than a professional portfolio, dazzling references, and a shiny appearance to make the grade in the city... it takes a fortitude of character to know what will and will not work for you.Retail has for the most part been my forte.Food ser

When you first envisaged working for yourself, it's pretty unlikely (unless you're an accountant) that this vision included late nights compiling end of period financials. Or sitting hunched over a part-completed profit and loss statement with furrowed brows. There's no doubt accountancy, for most, is not the most glamorous part of the job. But it is essential to making well formed business

Wooing customers is a little bit like dating. No, you can't present the engagement ring on your first date! There's a two-way relationship that grows one step at a time before it leads to the church doors. You can't rush it... you can't skip it... if you're looking for the satisfaction of a life-long commitment.Getting to know your date, or getting to know your customer takes a little time and effo

This is the last in a series of articles devoted to communications in relation to Customer Service.If you are in a busy Customer Service environment (phones ringing, people asking questions and as usual, shorthanded) I am sure that a tool that is easy to use and implement would be helpful.I have been reading a lot about Behavioral or Personality Profiling and studying the different types.ing our way within what already exists, to be a creature of event and circumstance. Those who decide to shape events and circumstances to match what they envision are the idealists. They end up as the movers and shakers, the leaders, the ones who create innovation, the future and ultimately, history. The employee is a realist. The entrepreneur is an idealist.
We may aspire, in our hearts, to be prosperous, to be fulfilled, to live a life of purpose and passion. To exist, in our minds, as a realist makes it almost impossible to succeed in achieving these ideals. We must learn to become idealists, to practice the art of creative envisioneering, if we are to have any hope of making real our ideals.
The main contrast between the realist and the idealist is that the realist sees with his eyes open and the idealist sees with his eyes closed.
