Just because you can measure everything doesn’t mean that you should.

“Just because you  can  measure everything doesn’t mean that you  should .” – W. Edward Deming Sometimes we like to measure things to know much control we have over the situation and this driven mostly by worry. Having facts once in a while is not wrong but if a person keeps on trying to have control over everything that is where many people go wrong. We must accept we can’t have control over everything that is why we have different departments. If you always want to be victorious get the facts once in a while to know where you stand and what is needed to be done so as to improve the work or situation. Therefore don’t always live in fear of the unknown because it can hold you back from what you want to achieve. Worrying diminishes your faith and you have to stand firm on what you built by faith since worrying is like carrying an umbrella everywhere expecting it to rain. You can have control over the situation by picturing what you want and where you are going and just because

What is your message?

Image
“I am all for conversations, but you need to have a message .” – Renee Blodgett What is the objective of your conversation since having conversations is supported in communication. To have meaningful conversations you have to have a message since it will be the guiding light in the conversation. Sometimes people can converse and after the conversation is over they cannot remember what they were speaking about mostly since there was no purpose to their conversation. Therefore you need a message so as to execute what you want to achieve in any conversation.

Take two ideas and put them together to make one new idea.

“Take two ideas and put them together to make one new idea. After all, what is a Snuggie but a mutation of a blanket and a robe?” – Jim Kukral One idea is okay for you so as to make you prosperous if only you focus on that one plan and try to do whatever it takes to make it come to pass since many people get new ideas every day and what distinguishes the successful and the loser is the ability to act quickly on an idea. One idea can change your life, therefore, one idea can elevate you to become a person of substance. Ideas come to people who try to fill a need thus ideas try to solve problems that people want to be corrected. Taking two ideas and put them together to make one new idea in order to fill a need is a good way to start working.

Social media allows big companies to act small again.

“Social media allows big companies to act small again.” – Jay Baer Doing business without social media marketing is like trying to sell something in the dark without letting others know about it. You can earn attention by creating something interesting and valuable and then publishing it online for free. You must be engaging in social media and don't focus on the number of subscribers you have just focus on creating good content that will be thought-provoking and engaging. Since social media will help you earn credits from your current customers and furthermore if they are pleased with your service they will tell others about you.

The best way to engage honestly with the marketplace.

Image
“The best way to engage honestly with the marketplace via Twitter is to never use the words ‘engage,’ ‘honestly’ or ‘marketplace.’” – Jeffrey Zeldman The best way to engage honestly with the marketplace is to seek improvement in communication toward your audience and use engaging post. When a two-way open and honest communication is put in place it can do wonders since people would like to voice their opinions freely and feel comfortable. And consider appreciating them for expressing their opinion and even awarding them for contributing to your business. Since business is a two-way interaction between the owner and customer and the customer needs to feel appreciated and comfortable so as to encourage them to interact with the business and even come to do business with you again.

Put your energy into making things that are likeable.

“Put your energy into making things that are likeable, not some douchey social media strategy.” – Matthew Inman Put your energy to producing things that will be liked, not some hateful social media strategy. Since people respond to good vibes and good vibes are vibrations that are at the same frequency as the respondent. Bad vibes are mostly avoided and mostly ignored since they do not resonate with the respondent. Therefore even if you have a powerful social media strategy and people hate it, it will probably not succeed. Thus you have put your energy in likable things.

Clients don’t care about the labor pains.

“Clients don’t care about the labor pains; they want to see the baby.” – Tim Williams Clients don't care about the hard time you pass by in producing results. The only care about seeing the results, therefore, you will have to work extra hard to produce great results. Results are the only thing that makes a business matter and if you fail to produce results you will be out of business. Thus the purpose of a business is to meet the client's needs and "how do you meet the client's needs?' you meet the client's needs by producing results.

Dedicate your life to something.

Image
“Martin Luther King did not say ‘I have a mission statement.’” – Simon Sinek Martin Luther King had a dream and he stood up for that dream, he did not sit back and watch the dream but he got up and worked on the dream. So he did not have a mission statement but had a mission and did whatever it took to make it happen. For us to win we have to dedicate our lives to something.

It’s not what you look at that matters.

Image
It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see. – Henry David Thoreau Do some of us have eyes but do not see? Yes, there are many who have eyes to see but do not perceive any. Spectators are there name they see what is needed to be done but are too lazy to do anything about and they are comfortable pass by the motions of life. Was your perception altered when you were young and have a negative mentally as life goes on. Since nothing is good or bad thinking makes it so. This means the life we are currently living is first thought through the conscious mind and then deposited to the subconscious mind. Thus we should be careful about what we ponder upon since it affects our lives drastically. We have to start envisioning the life we want to live since what we believe is true must manifest in our lives.

Do Not Preserve A Broken Business Model.

Holding back technology to preserve broken business models is like allowing blacksmiths to veto the internal combustion engine in order to protect their horseshoes.” – Don Tapscott and Anthony D. Williams We have to move forward with the truth because we cannot afford to ship out broken products that we can’t even recommend to our families. We have to let go of those things that are in the past and keep on moving forward even if it calls for having to make great a loss in the business but some of us would want the old to keep going on like the post office business and later on it was overtaken by the email. Do not hold anything back and just move forward.

You Can’t Expect To Just Write And Have Visitors Come To You.

Image
“You can’t expect to just write and have visitors come to you – that’s too passive.” – Anita Campbell You have to go the extra mile and be persistent trying always to be ahead of the game because it is the bottom that is overcrowded and you can’t just write and expect visitors to come to you. Use persuasion as a way to be more intriguing since if you don’t believe in your work and what you are doing who else will be able to believe in you. Believe is the key to persuasion and you have also to be persistent in what you do so as to achieve any goal.
