Make a Good Decision

You can put your career into an upward route by making the decision, today, to become one of the best managers in your field.

Here are collection of some good ideas to put into action

1. Slect one part of the task and do it immediately

2. Select one big important task and lay it out in front of you.

3. Develop a study plan today to learn from the experts in your field. This can save you years of hard work.
4. Decide what is the most important thing to do, and then decide how to do it.

5. See yourself as a professional problem-solver and look upon every difficulty or challenge as an opportunity to develop your creative powers.
6. Look for problems you can solve and obstacles you can overcome. The more you seek for answers and ideas, the smarter and more creative you become.

7. Keep the conversation focused on solutions, on what can be done in the future. The more you think and talk about solutions, the more positive and creative everyone will be and the better ideas you will come up with.

8. Take some time to be absolutely clear about the problem that is under discussion. Give some thought to what an ideal decision or solution would accomplish. Instead of focusing on the situation as it is, talk about the situation as you would like it to be.

9. Sow down when you first meet a person in a business or sales situation. Take some time to build a relationship with him or her before you proceed to business matters.

10. Appeal to the friendship factor that underlies all good business and personal relationships. Ask questions about the person and his or her life and concerns. Listen attentively to the answers. Focus on the relationship first.


11. Make a list of ten goals that you would like to achieve in the coming year. Write them down in the present tense, as though a year has passed and you have already accomplished them

12. From your list of ten goals, ask yourself, "What one goal, if I were to accomplish it, would have the greatest positive impact on my life?" Whatever it is, put a circle around this goal and move it to a separate sheet of paper

13. Practice the seven-step method described above on this goal. Set a deadline, make a plan, and put it into action and work on it every day. Make this goal your major definite purpose for the weeks and months ahead

14. Resolve to become an expert at time management. Work on becoming more efficient every day

15. Ask "Why am I on the payroll?" Whatever your answer to this question, work on it all day long.

16. Plan your weeks in advance and build in at least one day when you will relax from work completely. Discipline yourself to keep this date.

17. Reserve, book and pay for your three day vacations several months in advance. Once you've paid the money, you are much more likely to go rather than put it off.

18. Decide that you will not work at all during your vacations. When you work, work. And when you rest, rest 100% of the time. This is very important.

19. Remind yourself continually that setbacks are only temporary, they will soon be past and nothing is as serious as you think it is.


20. Remind yourself continually that setbacks are only temporary, they will soon be past and nothing is as serious as you think it is.

21. Look upon each problem as a specific event, not connected to other events and not indicative of a pattern of any kind. Deal with it and get on with your life.


22. Recognize that when things go wrong, they are usually caused by a variety of external events. Say to yourself, "What can't be cured must be endured," and then get back to thinking about your goals.
23. Realize and accept that you can do anything you put your mind to. Repeat the words, "I can do it! I can do it!" whenever you feel afraid for any reason.

24. Continually think of yourself as a valuable and important person and remember that temporary failure is the way you learn how to succeed.
Continually encourage and praise the people who work for you. The better you make people feel about themselves and their work, the more empowered they will feel and the more committed they will be to your company.
