10 Habits of Highly Successful People
By Lorraine Pirihi
Highly successful people clean out the clutter regularly
Highly successful people use a diary and write a “list of things to do” each day.
Highly successful people are great delegators
Highly successful people know how and when to say “NO”
Highly successful people have a balanced life
Highly successful people spend time “working on the business” as well as “working in the business”
Highly successful people know their team is their most important asset
Highly successful people exercise regularly and eat healthily (most of the time)
Highly successful people are happy to share their knowledge
Highly successful people ‘just do it!”.
Organised Planning:
Think & Grow Rich – Excerpts from Napoleon Hill
First: Ally yourself with a group of as many people as you may need for the creation and carrying out your plan or plans for the accumulation of money – making use of the “Master Mind” principle. (Compliance with this instruction is absolutely essential. Do not neglect it.)
Second: Before forming your “Master Mind” alliance, decide what advantages and benefits you may offer the individual members of your group, in return for their cooperation. No one will work indefinitely without some form of compensation. No intelligent person will either request or expect another to work without adequate compensation, although this may not always be in the form of money.
Third: Arrange to meet with the members of your “Master Mind” group at least twice a week, and more often if possible, until you have jointly perfected the necessary plan or plans for the accumulations of money.
Fourth: maintain perfect harmony between yourself and every other member of your “Master Mind” group. If you fail to carry out this instruction to the letter, you may expect to meet with failure. The “Master Mind” principle cannot obtain where perfect harmony does not prevail.
Keep in mind:
First: You are engaged in an undertaking of major importance to you. To be sure of success, you must have plans which are faultless.
Second: You must have the advantage of the experience, education, native ability and imagination of other minds. This is in harmony with the methods followed by every person who has accumulated a great fortune.
15 Rules For Finishing Off The Day – Jim Prigg
1. Clear, clean-up and tidy your desk – by clearing your workspace you will enable you to start the new day with a clean slate in all respects.
2. Try to have only one working or project on your desk at any one time, ensuring you to focus your attention on that one activity.
3. Throw unnecessary paper in the bin – get in the habit of removing rubbish and unwanted paper from your desk each day. This will also assist your ‘clear desk policy’ if that works for you.
4. Put files away each day – keep files off your desk unless you are working on them. It is not good for office security to have valuable company information available to anyone who might wander past your desk. Place them in locked cabinets or drawers.
5. Adjust your priority on tasks for the next day. What may have been B minus today can become A double plus tomorrow
6. Check the time of your first appointment the next day – if you know what your first commitment for the day will be, you can plan the rest of the day around it. It also allows you to book travel time to that appointment and any preparation you may need to do beforehand.
7. Start your “to do” list for the next day – carry over important tasks form your current day’s list, add new tasks for the following day and your planning will save you a few minutes the next morning.
8. Put your reading file in your briefcase – start a reading file and carry it with you to read on your way home on public transport or while you are in a queue – you can get through your reading easily if you carry it with you and make the most of each opportunity,
9. Wash your coffee cup or empty your water bottle – start each day afresh by cleaning up the night before.
10. Switch your phone on voicemail if appropriate – if you are not going to be in the office until later the next morning, this will allow any early morning callers to leave you a message.
11. You may like to change your voicemail message if you are not going to be in the office the next day to advise callers where they could reach you or an alternative number.
12. Get those final email messages and memos out tonight, not tomorrow. Rule number one of business momentum is to have other people busy for you, not the other way around
13. Switch off your computer, screen and printer – be environmentally friendly and save power and money where you can.
14. Remind yourself of your achievements of the day – take a minute to remind yourself of what you achieved in your day. You may like to record it in a journal or diary. Celebrate your success
15. When you switch off, switch off! Let go and go home
Planningwerx4U has some business planning CDs on sale for $50 this month, will be $359. If you are interested in purchasing a CD or know some one who might be contact Tarnia on admin@planningwerx4u.com.au
