6 Keys to keep your business afloat Cash - have enough of this valuable commodity. Too little and you run into liquidity problems. Having too much could mean that your not managing your money correctly. Make it work for you and to your advantage! Performance - review your financial budget. Become familiar with your P and L. Some executives swear by knowing their 'bottom line' at the end of each business day. With whatever regularity you choose to do so, ensure that you monitor your results often. People - your business success hinges on people. Network effectively, manage and follow up prospects, and keep yourself and business relevant to others. Emply the correct staff. Ensure they have the same work ethic as you, having made sure to model your preferred style. Customer service - your customers should be kept happy. Guage their satisfaction not only by repeat sales but also ask them for testimonials and referrals. Persistence - be persistent with the people with who you have been in contact. Remember 'No' could also mean 'not at this time'. Don't take it personal but keep the channels of communication open. Competitors - Stay ahead of the game. Be aware of what your competitors offer and find ways to match if not exceed by providing a better product and service.

Success is a personal thing |

Why do some people achieve success and others don't? Why do some people have nicer homes, cars, are seen in the best places, eat in expensive restaurants and live the good life, while others seem destined to just about make ends meet. The measure of success is obviously an individual thing but there are four common threads that we all share. We measure success by: Our health When we are not healthy or have very little energy, we find it extremely hard if not downright impossible to achieve the results we want. There are lots of things we can do to improve our health and increase our energy levels. There is ample information and resources available to us, we just need to use them to improve our chance at leading a successful life. Our relationships No matter which way we look at it, having loving relationships are very important. Successful people are aware of this and plan their lives around their relationships, considering them central to their well being. Others who don't recognise the worth of their relationships can find themselves 'lonely at the top'. Our work We all share a need to have meaning and purpose in our work. We want to feel that we get up each morning to go to work or to our business and achieve something. It gives our life value when we feel we are making a contribution to society, to others and certainly ourselves. Our financial independence While 'how much is enough' is completely relative, we need to have enough money so that we dont continually worry about bills, homes, children and other responsibilities. Not having enough prevents us from living satisfactory and ultimately successful lives.

When you ask for the job, you want to be clear in your communication.
