Study each of the following rules for making time and try to implement them in your own life:

Learn to say "No.'' Keep away from commitments that force you to spend time on low priority items. Be prepared to say, "I can't do this now.''

Banish low priority items unless you have completed all higher priority items for the day. The definition of low priority items is "they can wait.''

Build time into your schedule for interruptions, unforeseen problems, unscheduled events, etc. You can avoid ru… Continue

One of the biggest problems with achieving our goals and dreams is other people. And us, listening to other people. Truth is, other people don’t understand our goals.

I just heard it again, "Why can't my boss be the kind of leader you just talked about?!" Many managers exempt themselves from leadership training opting to only send their employees. So here is what your employees want you to hear:

1. Personal Integrity. Managers think they're doing a special favor for an employee by deceiving or omitting influential data, and they may be, but they just showed that employee that they cannot be trusted. If they'll do that for you, you can bet they will do… Continue

A poll conducted by USA Today ranked the top 3 reasons people get fired. Fully 70% of all employees terminated were let go for 'failure to get along with other people'. This was followed by a lack of productivity/performance and policy violations. 3 ways to make sure you're not one of the 70% below...

What kind of attitude do you have? I don't mean just when you're on the job either. I've found that anyone can fake it on the job until something unexpected happens and then they "blow up." I witn… Continue

We complain about our weight. We complain about our health. We complain about our finances. We complain about our kids. We complain about our boss. We complain about a lot of things so I'm going to give you a quick test. Before you complain the next time, ask yourself this question. If you answer "yes," then you are not allowed to complain about it. Here's the question: Are you permitting it? Are you permitting the weight gain by not taking corrective action? Are you permitting the debt t… Continue
