Casual Articles - Riding the Waves to Success
We all have been involved in changes. A simple move from one house to a new one count as a real experience. What did you most (dis)like about the move; the radical change on the day that you delivered the key and entered the new place, or the long gradual adaptation period afterwards?Each change comprises a time frame, which depends on the scope of the change. The larger the scope of the change, the more difficult to manage the change in a gradual way.The first situation, that of a gradual change focuses on the process. You can manage this change as part of operational business. This is possible when there are central dire

In response to my questions and requests for help, my Director/Inner CEO asked to me make a shift in the way I was looking at my business affairs (although as you'll see, the advice I got applies to personal life too). He suggested that I start looking at the ebb and flow of opportunities in my businesses like it was surfing. He then gave me a really great metaphor and some powerful insights I'd like to share with you now.
What do you do when you surf? First, you've got to have the primary tool for surfing - a surfboard. Next, you've got to master the core surfing skills or you won't have any fun and you may get hurt.
Then what do you do? You wait for a day when the surf is up and the waves will be great for riding. When that day comes, you go to the beach, get in the water, swim out, watch and wait for great waves. When you see what looks like a great wave coming, you start paddling at just the right time to catch the wave perfectly. Then, one of the four things happens:
You catch the wave
You miss the wave
The wave does something unexpected (or you do) and you "wipe out" during your ride back to shore
You ride the wave all the way back into shore and have a great experience and adrenalin rush (which is the whole point of surfing in the first place) Continuing with the surfing metaphor, "catching the wave" means taking advantage of the opportunities that come your way, "missing the wave" means letting opportunities fall through your grasp, "wiping out" means you don't get the reward
People we know have heard some absolutely monstrous things from recruiters and employers during their job hunts. When you hear one of these outrageous/insulting/mind-blowing remarks, you want to reach through the phone and strangle someone. But since that isn’t possible, here’s what to say, instead:HE: I’m sorry, we liked your qualifications but we offered the position to a person who comes from the exact same kind of background.YOU: Of course, that’s excellent, and I can certainly understand your desire to minimize new thinking. Best of luck to you.SHE: Your resume shows six of the protocols we’re looking for, but

Networking opportunities are everywhere. Don't let them pass you by. 1. Recognize that there is more to networking than greeting people. Develop a step-by-step plan for how you'll build relationships and how you can effectively tell your story. Don't forget your 30 second commercial to tell your story. 2. Zero in on specific groups of people. Who are the ideal prospects for your business? Do they live nearby? What activities do they participate in? Try networking groups meetings. For those of us in lease purchasing we network with real estate agents, accountants, financial planners, and a multitude of others. 3.

You may be feeling dubious about whether or not to go ahead and buy a carpet cleaning franchise. Concerns about profit margins and covering equipment costs could be holding you back. Bobby Walker has a proven strategy he is prepared to share with a limited number of applicants that will guarantee you to take advantage of today’s market opportunities.All over America every day thousands of people are having their carpets cleaned. The reason so many carpet cleaning franchises don’t make it big is because they lack well thought out targeted advertising. Just having the biggest spot in the local telephone directory isn’t enough

What is Messaging On Hold? Message On Hold is a customized recording that callers will hear when they are placed on hold. Now one might think that that is just another fancy way to keep your callers entertained. But truth is, Messaging On Hold is far more than just helping callers kill time while they are on hold. Messaging On Hold is actually a highly effective marketing tool. It is basically an infomercial about your business. Yes, it will keep your callers entertained avoiding that they hang up. But most importantly, it will help to sell the products and/or services that your business has to offer. Studies conducted by major telecomm
It's interesting to note that there are three keys to successful surfing:
Being prepared -- having the tools and skills Waiting for great surf days and waves; and Taking action only under the right conditions and at the right times My Director/Inner CEO said the same is true for business and life. My Director/Inner CEO also said this to me:
"With your business affairs, you're prepared. You have the tools. You have the core skills and ability to ride waves all the way to shore, so to speak, no matter how big or powerful they may be. Sometimes, however, you're so anxious to go surfing that you try to force it - you go out on days when the surf isn't really up, or you start paddling when there isn't really a great wave coming, or you start paddling too soon or too late, and then you get frustrated or confused when you don't have the ride you want." He went on to explain that even the best surfers in the world have all four of the experiences listed above - they catch waves, they miss waves, they wipe out, and they have great rides all the way into shore. He explained that it's the same thing for me no matter how successful I've been or how skilled I may be at certain things.
