Happy New Years/ Now it’s time to start 2011 off with a profitable business bang!

Happy New Year Hampton Roads!

OK so Christmas is over (Happy Belated Birthday Jesus), but seriously Christmas is over and as we continue to live out our salvation we have to still provide for our families until His return. I hope you can agree with me when I say let’s make 2011 better than the last. How do we do that you ask? Well lets look at a few key factors as to what we do personally that can possible change.

1. Procrastination: To put off doing something, especially out of habitual carelessness or laziness.

• There are a million ways to lose a work day, but not even a single way to get one back.  ~Tom DeMarco and Timothy Lister
• You may delay, but time will not.  ~Benjamin Franklin
• Someday is not a day of the week.  ~Author Unknown

Simply put don’t procrastinate, this can be one of the leading causes as to why company A. never received your bid and how you lost that job. Procrastinating can push-off what can be done today to tomorrow and that only ruins tomorrow before it starts. So be sure to focus on what needs to be done today, don’t focus on where your going tonight or who your hanging out with instead focus on your project and finish it in a timely manner.

1. Time Management:  Time management refers to the development of processes and tools that increase efficiency and productivity.

• Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much can be done if we are always doing.
  Thomas Jefferson
• Never let yesterday use up today.
  Richard H. Nelson
• Time is really the only capital that any human being has, and the only thing he can’t afford to lose.
  Thomas Edison

Time management is very important in this new year! We have to set specific time aside every day for many different facets in our lives work and business. For example if we are stressing over our home life and haven’t given home proper time than how can we possible focus at work on what is at hand when we have that dripping faucet back at home on our mind. We can’t be at home watching a movie with the family or having dinner with that project we could have finished today still to be worked on tomorrow.

1. Set aside time for online networking pick a time, for me it’s 4-5pm of the day 1 hr a day 5 days a week! (That can be adjusted depending on clients.)
2. Set aside specific time to building business, getting out and introducing yourself to businesses and people.
3. Set aside time to make calls/call backs/ e-mails/ voice-mails. (Urgent matters take president’s) – Don’t get bogged down with replying to little things when the bigger picture is being neglected.

So in closing is this, don’t push-off today till tomorrow and allow today to be as profitable as it possible can. Go home knowing you did all you could and spend time with your family/social time. Go away from home knowing you did all you can and focus at work. You can make 2011 amazing but only you can make it, so get out and do it!
