Atricle Dump - The ACCOUNTABILITY Challenge for Today's Business Management
I have to admit it. I had almost no knowledge of the country of Romania just five short years ago, when I came here for the first time. What came to my mind were images of Dracula, Frankenstein, and under-cared for orphaned children, the kind that were featured in fund-raising specials that appeared on television when I was a kid. At least I can say that I knew for sure that it existed, and so did it's province of Transylvania. That's partially contrary to what I was taught in elementary school, by the way, when our teacher assured us that Transylvania was only a storybook land and therefore we need not be frigh

Everyone likes to bowl and yet no one will come unless they are in a league or they are invited. Sometimes these customers need a little edge to get in the door you see? How can you get clients and bowlers into your bowling alley establishment and get them hooked on such a wonderful sport?Well, perhaps a robust yet inexpensive marketing and advertising program might do the trick. Let me explain; you see, direct-mail and direct-mail marketing coupon packages work very well for bowling alleys. One of the best ways a bowling alley can attract new business is by sending out; two for one discounts.It i
Action – What action or actions did you take or not take and why? Since many individuals have been conditioned not to take action or are stuck in “analysis/paralysis,” accountability suffers because no specific action has been taken.
Commitment – Are you truly committed to doing what it takes? As a good friend and mentor once shared that the U.S. has a multi-billion dollar diet food industry. However, he continued “If individuals would engage in walking 30 more minutes each day, drink 8 glasses of water, reduce their daily food intake and avoid known fatty foods, would they or would they not lose weight? The answer is yes there would be weight lost. So, why is there a multi-billion dollar diet industry? The answer for most simply lies within the level of commitment of those individuals.

Mistake #1: Not thinking widely enough to explore all feasible options.First, a note about benefits - if you can provide a solution that provides more benefits than the current process, then not only do you benefit (hopefully in practical and emotional ways) but also the company profits, so do the shareholders and so does the economy. If more of these positive benefit decisions were being made daily by more and more people then we would all be better off!It is human nature to want to think about the problem quickly, get to an answer (instead of a list of good answers) as soon as possible and move o

It was once, many moons ago, back in the 90s, that the web was a place of simple content. Filled with stale information like directories and dictionaries, the world wide web was largely a home of facts and content. Over the last dozen or so years, the Web 2.0 Generation has changed all of that, bringing the Internet to be truly inter-operable and inter-active and certainly a lot more inter-esting. MySpace and YouTube gave new meaning to individuality, blogging gave everyone the ability to be their own author and publisher, and Google of course has allowed us to cruise through the Internet as if the whole web w

The final part of pretty much every strategic planning process is to identify and prioritize a set of goals that will move the organization forward in a specific timeframe to a desired future.

Recently, I monitored an interesting discussion in one of the forums about the length of headline on sales pages. Some of the posters were in favor of longer headlines because they communicated more information and had a better chance of catching the interest of the prospect. Other posters claimed that some headlines were so long that they were confusing. Some even claimed that they would take away your breath if you attempted to read them aloud. One poster thought that very long headlines often appeared to be a run-on sentence... even if it technically wasn't.I decided it was time to do a study. I w
Choices – Are you making good choices such as prospecting, networking or professional development ? Growing your business is directly dependent upon the choices that you make. Are your choices growing your business or limiting your business?
Opportunities – Are you creating new possibilities for success? With so many ways to build your business, what opportunities will generate for you greater success? Look at each networking event as an opportunity to enhance your business. Set goals for meeting new people. Analyze the outcomes from those events. Consider forming strategic alliances with others to improve your business results.
Understanding – Do you understand yourself? Are you aware of your own strengths and feelings? Do you know how to leverage those strengths? How do you deal with your feelings? By better understanding what you what, what behaviors will help you achieve your goals, how you feel and what values are necessary to maintain your credibility, will bring additional benefits to your business as well as to yourself.
