Casual Articles - Managing YOUR Expectations
One of the keys to really successful people is they see “failure” as a learning experience. I have asked several wealthy and successful people what is key to their attitude and many respond, “Make more mistakes faster”. That is the quickest way to learn which way you need to go.I have experienced this sever

But there are times when I am not there to coach a client and it seems prudent to share information with you on how to manage your own set of expectations when it comes to improving your organizing or time management skills.
Foresee and side-step roadblocks
If you have tried to improve your skills in the past, but have not been successful over the short or long-term, step back and think about the types of roadblocks that interfered with your success. Was time committed to your calendar? Did you lack information? Did you lack of support? Wrong tools? Did you even have ownership of your goal? Or maybe it was perfectionism that got in the way. As I have said in the past and continue to say, the goal is to be successful…not perfect. Identifying past roadblocks will help you become more aware of them so that you may be better prepared to overcome them and reach your goal.

Any type of relationship can be fragile. Your new business can only succeed if those relationships are guarded, protected and nurtured. You do that by treating your clients as if they were cherished friends. When you call a friend you probably expect a call back within a reasonable time. Your client also expec

The regulatory bodies at both the state and federal level require much disclosure from Franchisors. So, much information in fact that it indeed puts them at a disadvantage to both their foreign and domestic competitors who may not be franchise companies and therefore do not require the same level of disclosures.

When the global market for organically produced food and drinks reached $23 billion in 2002, it was just one of the signs that people's interest in natural products has gone beyond a fad and become a way of life.

You've heard it all before when it comes to stats about customer retention. Acquiring a customer costs five to 10 times more than retaining one. Repeat customers spend, on average, 67 percent more. After 10 purchases a customer has referred as many as seven other people.So, if your focus is on acquiring new
Revise unrealistic timelines
Your organizing and time management challenges didn’t happen over night and they won’t be solved overnight. Give yourself some leeway.
Select some milestone dates, put them on you calendar and revise them only if absolutely necessary. For example, “Have an organized office by 12/31/05.” In between these milestones select smaller tasks that you will do to build to your milestone date. For example, “Organize the desktop” or “Organize a filing drawer”. Smaller activities routinely spaced apart help lead to your milestone date.
Debunk myths
Maybe there are some myths floating around in your mind. Things like, ‘touch a piece of paper only once’, ‘someone else can organize my workspace and it will work for me’, or my all time favorite…’I don’t have time to get organized’. These are old, ineffective recordings that are repeating in your head. Toss them aside and replace them with something that moves you forward. For example, ‘I can find paper, time and peace of mind if I begin NOW.’
Learn to manage your expectations and ultimate your success.
