Rules
for Achieving Online Success By Nowshade Kabir Editor's Note: Although the title of this article refers to Online Success, this article addresses universal success principles. |
The
Internet brought a great deal of benefit to our life. Access to a lot
of free and useful information is probably, one of the most important
of them. However, this wealth of free information has also become a
problem to some extent. According to Brian Tracey, a renowned self-help guru, Principle of Control is one of the most important factors of life. This principle ascertains that you feel positive about yourself to the degree to which you feel you are in control of your life. The same way, you feel negative about yourself to the degree to which you feel that you are controlled by external forces. The thing is if you don’t feel positive about yourself, it would be impossible for you to achieve success. This means to become happy and successful you need to regain control of your life. The following suggestions will help you achieve this: Set Goals Goals are like road maps. If you are planning to visit a new place and don’t take a road map of the place with you, most certainly, you will have difficulties in finding your way around. A written goal will give you a clear idea of what exactly you would like to achieve. Goals also give you a sense of control over your direction. Goals should be specific: I would like to become a better online businessman is not a goal. It’s a mere statement! Goals should have clear, substantiated and detailed targets! Goals should be measurable: I would like to get 100 thousand new visitors to my site within six months is a specific and measurable goal. Goals should be realistic: I want my site to become like Yahoo!® within one year is probably an unrealistic and impossible goal. If your goal is too easy to achieve or an impossible one to reach, you will soon lose interest in it. Make sure that your goal is high but attainable. Set a deadline: Each of your goals should have specific deadlines for their achievement. Create a detailed plan of action: List every action you have to take in order to achieve a certain goal. List obstacles: Write down all the obstacles that you might encounter on your way to reaching this goal. Each time you overcome an obstacle from your list, you will feel good about yourself. This will work as motivation for you to continue. Make Lists While developing your plan of actions for your goals, make two basic lists, a comprehensive master list and a more specific daily to do list. The master list is a single ongoing list of all things that you plan to do in order to achieve your goals. It does not matter whether it is a major goal achieving work with a year long continuation or a small urgent task you need to finish today. Whenever you have come up with a task that you have to do, you add it to your master list. Each evening create a specific daily to do list for the next work day. Make sure that this list is not too long; and all tasks of this list can be finished within the next working day. If some of the tasks, however, remain untouched at the end of the day, just roll them over to the next day’s list. To use this list effectively you have to distribute your tasks according to their priorities.
Remember
Priorities To develop a priority-based to do list, write all the tasks you are planning to carry out the next day. Go through the list carefully and mark each of them according to their priority: A to be the most important and D to be the least important task of the list. Reconstruct the list according to the assigned priorities. Start working from task number one on your list and go down accordingly. This priority-based to do list will be able to guarantee the following: You will know which tasks should be carried out first. You will always have a comprehensive to do list, allowing you to focus on the things that you need to. However, make sure that you don’t have more than three tasks with highest priority. Too many high priority tasks will keep you under stress and will constantly distract you from the job at hand. Focus on One Thing To be successful in any field you need to have many qualities. The ability to focus on the tasks of highest priority and continue working on them until you bring them to their logical end is one of the vital skills of success. Many people of mediocre abilities achieved great success thanks to just this one single quality. Once you have made your to do list and prioritized it, concentrate on one task at a time. No matter what we do, our mind can concentrate on one thing at a time only. If you try to do several things simultaneously, this will only distract you and slow your pace in accomplishing the task with highest priority. These simple and well-known rules can really do miracles to your life! Try them, you won’t be disappointed!

Keys to Running a Successful Business |
Although dentistry may appear to be different than other types of businesses, in reality it is a business and though this article is written from a dentist’s perspective on developing a successful practice, the principles can be used in virtually any business. I have been in the dental industry for over 20 years and can proudly say I do have a highly successful business, also known as a practice. Over the years, I have learned many things that work in running a business and even more that do not. It is with this in mind that I share the following 7 keys to running a successful business. Regardless of your industry they can apply.
1. Have a
vision By answering these and many other similar types of questions, you will gain insight into the direction you can, and should, take your business.
2.
Develop a plan that ties into the vision
3. Know
your market The clearer you are on who you are targeting the easier it will be to focus your efforts on reaching those individuals and/or companies.
4. Gain
visibility within your market
5. Get
your team on board It will be very difficult to achieve your long-term goals if your team members either don’t understand your vision or haven’t bought into it. When you hire people, make sure they understand what you are trying to achieve. Whether you are dealing with new members of the team or seasoned folks, everyone must be willing to be a part of the plan. When they are, you will have a much greater chance for success.
6. Be
consistent
7.
Realize – you change lives With most people, regardless of the industry you are in, in some way you do change lives. If you know that, your job is very rewarding. Think about the end user of your product or service. What is it about what you provide that makes a difference for them? If you don’t know, ask your customers. You may be pleasantly surprised. It is in the answers you can become clearer and clearer as to your vision and the benefits you bring to others through the services you provide. Dr. Scott Kiser has been practicing general dentistry in Salt Lake City, Utah for over 20 years. Dr. Kiser has used only mercury-free substances in his treatments since the mid 90’s and concentrates his practice in the areas of sedation dentistry and complete smile makeovers.
