She Shoots, She Scores!

Dream with a Deadline....."a GOAL is an observable and measurable end result having one or more objectives to be achieved within a fixed time frame."

Brandi Chastain scored the game-winning goal against China in the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup final.

She reached her goal, have you?

If not, Try.....

BREAKING YOUR GOALS DOWN
• most goals are abandoned because they are too big and vague
• choose a concrete and measurable action

COMMITTING 15 MINUTES A DAY

• the greatest advances are the sum total of a series of small efforts

DEVELOPING A MANTRA
• remind yourself of your goals every day
• repeat regularly and it becomes your natural way of thinking

FINDING A BUDDY
• try to get friends to help out with your project
• you hold each other accountable to accomplishing your goals

LETTING PEOPLE KNOW YOUR PLANS

• they become interested in your progress and check in with you

PAINTING YOURSELF INTO A CORNER
• the worst deadline you can set for yourself is "this year"
• too vague, too broad, and too much room for slacking


PUTTING IT DOWN ON PAPER
• if you write a goal down, it is more likely to come to fruition
• putting goals on paper makes you more committed to the outcome

REVIEWING YOUR GOALS REGULARLY
• ask yourself some hard questions about each goal

REWARDING YOURSELF

“Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.”

New England and a sprawling Red Sox Nation finally exhaled. No more Curse of the Bambino. No more taunts of "1918." The suffering souls of Bill Buckner, Grady Little, and Johnny Pesky were released from Boston Baseball's Hall of Pain when The Red Sox became World Champs in 2004.

Whether in the workplace or on the baseball field, effective teamwork can produce incredible results. However, working successfully as a team is not as easy as it may seem. Effective teamwork certainly does not just happen automatically; it takes a great deal of hard work and compromise.

For the Boston Red Sox, their winning TEAM took 86 years to build!

Teamwork is a joint action by two or more people, in which each person contributes with different skills to the unity and efficiency of the group in order to achieve common goals.

Do you believe that a Supplier + Distributor + End User = Team ?

Teamwork takes....

COMMITMENT: Commitment to the purpose and values of the ASI Industry with a clear sense of direction. Team members must understand how their work fits into the End Users objectives and agree that their team's goals are achievable and aligned.

CONTRIBUTION: The power of an effective team is in direct correlation to the skill set each member possess and the initiative members expend. In business, companies need people who have strong technical and interpersonal skills and are willing to learn.

COMMUNICATION: For Suppliers & Distributors to reach their full potential, each person must be able to say what they think, ask for help, share new or unpopular ideas, and risk making mistakes. This can only happen in an atmosphere where team members show concern, trust one another, and focus on solutions, not problems.

COOPERATION: Most challenges in the workplace today require much more than good solo performance. In increasingly complex organizations, success depends upon the degree of interdependence recognized within the team.

* Follow-through
* Accuracy
* Creativity
* Timeliness.
* Spirit

CONFLICT MANAGEMENT: It is inevitable that teams of bright, diverse thinkers will experience conflict from time to time. The problem is not that differences exist, but in how they are managed.

CHANGE MANAGEMENT: To assist teams in the management of change, leaders should acknowledge any perceived danger in the change and then help teams to see any inherent opportunities. They can provide the security necessary for teams to take risks and the tools for them to innovate; they can also reduce resistance to change by providing vision and information, and by modeling a positive attitude themselves.

Manager of Time

"Time management refers to a range of skills, tools, and techniques used to manage time when accomplishing specific tasks, projects and goals. A time management system is a designed combination of processes, tools and techniques."

Do you ever find yourself....

• Procrastinating?
• Failing to delegate?
• With unclear objectives?
• Failing to set priorities?
• Failing to plan?
• Unable to schedule things in advance?
• With a lack of self-discipline?
• Attempting to do too much at once?

.....These are primary causes of poor time management.

How do you Change those Habits and Make Better Use of your Time?

• Set up a routine that contrasts with your old way of doing things.
• Do not allow an exception to occur until the new habit is firmly established.
• Take time to start changing old habits now-don't procrastinate!

80/20 Rule:

This rules states that 80 percent of all that happens at work is really the result of 20 percent effort. In business, "80% of sales come from 20% of clients." To be effective, you must concentrate on the most important items first. Therefore, proceed through the day from the most important to the least important items.


Make A To-Do List with the 80/20 Rule in Mind:

• Reserve a block of time that cannot be interrupted
• Force yourself to stay with an activity until it is completed.
• Identify and use your prime time of each day. i.e. Don't schedule heavy-thinking projects from 8 to 10 am, if you are an afternoon person.
• Do not schedule all of your time. This unscheduled time will help in case of emergencies.
• Break big projects into manageable bites.
• Include time for planning, preparation, thinking, socializing, recreation and travel.
• Include activities that relate to your long term goals.

Your ability to manage time effectively could separate you from unsuccessful business people.
