Casual Articles - Traits Successful People Possess: The CEO's Path to Excellence
The absolute foundation of your small business is your image. The way potential clients and/or customers perceive your business sets the stage for the way your product or service is recognized and ultimately judged. Image is everything and it will affect your business either positively or negatively.What do you want people to think about when they see your image? When they see your logo, business card, brochure or website, what will they think? Cheap? Expensive? Professional? Successful? Expert? Amateur? Failure?It doesn't matter if you have been in business six years or six days, the failure to recognize just how important your image is and just how much people will judge you based on that image, is a huge mistake. It is a mistake that will have a lasting impact on the long-term success of your small business.People's perception tends to become their reality. How much do you charge? Is your product or servi
• Avoid comparison to others.
When we compare ourselves to others we set ourselves up for disappointment. Someone always has better experience or is a more polished speaker. The only relevant measure of personal improvement is to compare our capabilities from yesterday to our capabilities today
• Resist putting yourself down.

• Improve a discipline in some part of your life.

• Celebrate small victories.
Recognize that each step you complete towards your goals is a positive accomplishment that takes you closer to your final objective. You raise your effectiveness every day.

What exactly is an international business opportunity? Definitions vary among different scholars, but boiled down to the bare essentials, a business opportunity exists when: 1) the buyer purchases goods or services that enable him or her to begin a business, 2) the purchase price is more than a certain amount, usually $500, and 3) the seller makes one of several defined representations about the opportunity, such as guaranteeing the program will be profitable; offering to provide assistance in locating accounts, vending machines or other display devices; promising to buy back products that have been assembled or produced by the buyer; or providing a sales program or marketing plan.No matter the type, size, or location, franchises are one of the very popular international business opportunities. But figuring out which ones are hot and which ones are not can be a challenge. The major benefit of starting a franchised busines
Three characteristics of successful people are:
• Goal direction
They know where they stand, where they want to go and have a plan to get there.
• Self motivation
As self starters, they wind their own clock.
• Positive mental attitude
Successful people look for ways to complete tasks. They focus on strengths and break self-imposed limitations created by low self esteem.
These traits are interrelated. Strengthen one and you strengthen them all. Success breeds more success through increasing momentum.
Goal Direction:
A much quoted study found that the three percent of the population who created a specific written plan became not only financially independent but out produced those with only general goals by 10 to 100 times.
Goal directed action leads to success, which arrives when you make that first step towards a goal, not when you reach your goal. Every action step you take towards your goal is a success that brings you closer to the end result you want.
You can learn the skill of goal direction. Effective CEOs provide goal training and instill goal direction through the planning process. They ensure expected results when they hold themselves and their organization accountable.
When employees meet their personal goals while helping the company meet its goals, they make great achievements possible. Effective CEOs build an environment where personal and organizational goals complement each other.
Self-Motivation
Motivation, the sum of two words, motive and action, is the reason a person takes an action. Motivation, movement towards a goal, is goal directed action.
In the business world, motivation often arises from fear or incentives, both of which are generated by another person and temporary in nature.
For instance, an employee might be scared by the threat of losing a bonus. Over time people build immunity to fear in that they work just hard enough to get the job done then stop taking action. They don’t grow and develop to their full potential.
Incentives are often part of an employee’s compensation plan. For example, a sales incentive plan can effectively increase sales in the short run. However, today’s incentive plan often becomes tomorrow’s expectation. As the reward becomes expected, the incentive must increase.
Self motivation, however, is internal, permanent and unique to each individual. We motivate ourselves. When we work and live through self-motivation, we take more control over our lives than we could ever imagine having, much like a thoroughbred horse that runs for the thrill of running. The joy and excitement of doing something we love brings great achievement and meaning to our lives.
Positive Mental Attitude
Which would you rather have as an employee or co-worker, a person with a positive attitude and average skills or a person with high skills and a negative attitude?
Effective leaders understand that attitude is everything. We heighten success when we look for ways to accomplish our goals rather than make excuses.
Winners and losers dress alike, eat in the same restaurants, shop in the same stores and work in the same offices. Attitude, behavior and the results they achieve make the difference.
Winners confidently expect that they can turn any situation to positive advantage. Using positive behaviors; they listen and learn. Their attitude and behavior lead to peak performance.
The difference between the average and very successful person is quite small. Successful people don’t work three times as hard. Effective CEOs know how to develop the slight edge in people that creates a major increase in performance. They instill an attitude of abundance and positive expectance in their people.
How to Build Success Traits
Effective CEOs use these four action steps to build success traits in their management team:
• Create a positive work environment.
People respond to their environment. Build an environment where people want to be and want to do their best.
• Encourage people to stretch for professional development.
Most people want to progress and grow. Effective leaders make a point of learning what motivates their employees and then give personal and organizational encouragement.
• Strive for excellence.
Help people hold themselves accountable for their personal goals. Hold them accountable for organizational goals.
• Share power to create personal commitment to key initiatives.
An effective leader understands that sharing power is the most effective way to build personal motivation. When participants take intellectual and emotional ownership of the initiative, they become part of the solution and develop personal commitment to the outcome.
How to Build Self Esteem
Effective leaders understand that attitude is crucial and that self esteem, the sum of our conditioning from an early age, affects it in many ways. Leaders raise the self esteem of their employees by helping them:
• Avoid comparison to others.
When we compare ourselves to others we set ourselves up for disappointment. Someone always has better experience or is a more polished speaker. The only relevant measure of personal improvement is to compare our capabilities from yesterday to our capabilities today

Are your fundraising letters impersonal by mistake? That depends on how you date them. Some dates are more personal than others. Here’s what I mean.06/09/2006 If you want your direct mail appeal letter to look like it was generated by a machine, use this date format. This one is especially problematic if you are in Canada with donors the United States, or vice versa. Readers who look over your letter years from now won’t be sure if your date means the 6th of September or the 9th of June.September 2006 If you want your donation request letter to look impersonal, use this date format. It’s the format used by monthly newsletter publishers, and so it makes your letter appear mass-produced.6 September, 2006 This is better.

They’re young, audacious, hip, and nimble. They may show up to work late – or not all. They don’t respect authority simply because a boss has “paid her dues” or has a fancy title.

A previous client told me that clarity is power. This statement has continued to have on impact on how I do business.I remember getting 8 clients over a period of 2 weeks when I was first starting out.

Thank goodness my planning skills have improved since then!It is just as important for your clients to have procedures set up to handle the situations for their business. This ensures consistency and quality of service. Documenting these for clients also provides a tool to use for vacation coverage or training.When we are not sure about what or how we are going to do something our insecurities and lack of confidence show up in subtle ways.
