Maximize Your Time in 2014

Time is a precious commodity. As the New Year begins, reevaluate your schedule to employ strategies that can make a huge difference in your time management and efficiency. Here are some tips:

  • Set shorter goals.

This will help you focus and get to the finish line a lot quicker than putting all your concentration into long-term goals. It also gives you incentive to keep pushing!

  • Make a commitment.

Make a commitment to get things done and stick to it. Hold yourself accountable, with consequences if you don’t complete your tasks.

  • Create small blocks of time to get a lot done.

Give yourself 15 to 30 minute increments to get tasks done. Use a time schedule to increase your productivity.

  • Use less time for meetings.

Cut the humdrum, get to the point and end your meetings.

  • Create repetitive, daily tasks.

Get these done quickly and you’ll have more time to do the things that are more important.

These will help you get the most out of your time. For more information on time management, check out Mike Stromsoe’s Unstoppable Profit Producer Program.

Promote Your 2014 Referral Program With These Marketing Tips

Referral programs are great ways to get additional business from a purchaser who enjoys your products. They will be eager to get their friends and family to join in and try the product for themselves as the customer hunts down the leads for you. Get the most exposure with your referral program by following these simple marketing tips.

1: Reach The Largest Audience With Social Media Marketing

Everybody has some type of account on a social media platform. Target the most popular places such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram to spread the message about your referral program. You should already have a large following as you place on the social media page your message, the reason why they should jump on this great opportunity, and a call-to-action for them to find out more information. Include links to your homepage and a confirmation page to help with promotion.

2: Market It Directly On Your home Page

The reason why some referral programs fail is because people can’t find the information readily. It is hidden amongst your web pages or placed as an afterthought on a contact page. You need the referral program to be instantly seen and understood. Place the message directly on the homepage and within the line of eyesight for visitors so they understand what is in it for them if they participate.

3: Confirmation Pages Provide Valuable Follow-up Marketing

The person loves your products and has spent a great deal of money buying them. You’ve already captured their attention, so drive home the point of your referral program within the purchase confirmation page so the customer believes they are getting a even better deal from an awesome company.

AMF: Always Moving Forward

Fear of not obtaining perfection can hold people and companies back. But the perfect outcome is protean and pliant. Action is the thing that energizes and engages. Once a product or plan is actualized and is gaining momentum, then it can be changed and modified. The good can be made better, but if you are holding back until the ideal is real, then you may very well miss something that is perfect — opportunity. This philosophy is what drives the Mike Stromsoe’s Unstoppable Profit Producer Program.

Failure is only failure if you walk away from the experience without learning or changing from the outcome. Some of the biggest failures, from the advent of penicillin to the discovery of champagne came about because their inventors set out for one goal, then when they saw what they had, they drew upon that success. Then there are things that came from a specific plan, from computers to cars, and are continuously improved upon; what was good was made great. Start where you are. Be fearless; failing is one of the paths to getting to where you need to be.

Start with drive, discipline and motivation. Do the work. Listen to feedback. Learn from your results. Fine tune. Discover what works and build on it; even if that means failing in the original attempt. Encourage yourself and the people on your team fail forward, to keep moving forward, and to grow towards success.

The Psychology of Accountability

The psychology behind accountability partners is three-fold: Physical, mental and motivational.

Business owners start by identifying their strengths and weaknesses. Areas where things often fall between the cracks need to be addressed and accountability partners are chosen based on skills or experience in the weak area.

Physical

To physically discuss the plans with someone else takes the problem out of one’s head, where it can then be examined by someone with a fresh set of eyes and confronted synergistically.

Mental

Once out in the open, business owners have someone else holding them accountable for the plan of attack. Mentally, just knowing that someone else is tracking the progress will cause one to pay more attention to the weak area and identify further areas for improvement.

Motivationally

Accountability partners can serve as cheerleaders, having part-ownership in the plan of attack and vested in its success.

What Motivates You? Understanding the Main Theories Behind Human Behavior

Understanding why humans behave the way they do has been a mystery for psychologists for generations. Over the years different theories have developed in attempt to understand behavior. These are known as the theories of motivation.

Instinct theory

This theory presents the possibility that humans are programmed for certain types of behavior, such as attachment or love. This theory does not really answer much, though, it largely just describes behaviors.

Motivation theory

This theory states that people do certain things to receive external rewards.

Drive theory

According to this idea, humans seek to balance out their internal tension, such as relieving the tension of thirst by having a drink.

Arousal theory

People do certain actions to maintain a certain level of arousal, such as reading a book when they get too excited, or exercising when arousal levels get too low.

Humanistic theory

People have cognitive reasons for their actions, such as working towards self-actualization in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.

Increase Worker Morale And Teamworking Skills With Team Building Activities

After the fourth project meeting with little success, a time comes when you have to decide if your workers can actually come together with the answers and creativity to complete the project. Many managers simply throw the workers together to see what stews from the process. Yet there are other ways to get the team working together productively: introducing team building skills.

Team building skills are designed to allow employees to form stronger relationships and skills needed to work together. These planned activities strive to get employees thinking on the same page of completing the task in the best manner possible, while still allowing them to use their individual creativity and problem-solving to help address problems.

Benefits of creating team building activities:

  • Builds confidence and motivation
  • Increases interpersonal skills and cooperation
  • Hones problem-solving skills in a team environment
  • Increases the employee’s creativity
  • Promotes productivity

Managers can benefit from team building activities because they can also address problems between individual employees, as they smooth out possible relationship issues until everyone can come to a positive agreement. While it might take time from other projects, the long-term benefits will help the overall work each employee does for the company.

Goal Setting: Developing a Vision and Succeeding

Successful people set high, but attainable goals. The key to setting an attainable goal largely has to do with specifying precisely what it is that you plan to accomplish. Setting a high goal will force you to align your corporate vision with the barely-possible and make it a reality.

A goal of “I’m going to exercise more” is too vague—easy to fail, yet ominous and intimidating at the same time. Instead, “I’m going to exercise 20 minutes a day, even if it’s walking” is a realistic and doable task. This principle applies to goal setting practices for your business as well.

Theodore Roosevelt once said, “Believe you can and you’re halfway there.”

By setting goals that you have to work to reach for, you push yourself to new heights. By setting goals that are well-defined, you are easily able to measure your success or failure in your attempts to complete these goals.

Mike Stromsoe’s Unstoppable Profit Producer Program is designed to help you create and set goals for your business. Use a trusted business coach to help you achieve solid success, empowering motivation and measurable growth! Contact Mike today to learn more about what he can do for you!

  • Take breaks – Productive people take breaks to keep their thoughts fresh and increase concentration.

  • Put a system in place – Know what you need to do and how much time it will take to do it.
  • Use e-mail wisely – Be courteous and use it for maximum productivity.
  • Use the mornings to get things done – Getting most of your most challenging items done before lunch gives you a clear head for the afternoon.
  • Use 80/20 – Prioritize your tasks so that you get 80% productivity in 20% of the time.
