how to Pro/Con

Making desisions  can be tricky. One way to help you make decisions is a T chart to weigh the pro’s and con’s. Pro’s are advantages of a situation and con’s are the disadvantages of a given situation. For example – say you were looking at a certain way of advertising your new business in the newspaper, you could use the T chart method to help you list the positives and the negatives of this method of advertising. The ultimate goal is having in black and white all of the positives and negatives in a situation. If the pro’s outnumber the cons it could be a good descision. If the con’s outweight the pro’s it could blow up in your face

A pro is something that will benefit you, anything positive that is associated with a decision or a choice. A con is the opposite, the negatives, draw backs.

Divide a paper in half, on one half list all of the positives ex.

 lots of people see it

 make your business look more legitimate

 reach a new clients

 On the other half of the paper, list all of the negatives ex.

 lots of useless phone calls associated with your ad

costs money gives competitors an idea of where you stand

 You continue listing all of your ideas on the subject, you could even ask trusted people their opinion and list that too.

Be careful – because you could have one extremely good pro that will outweigh a few little cons. Somethings are just worth a risk.

What is fair ?

The term “thats not fair” is thrown around alot these days, and the only thing more annoying then someone yelling ”thats not fair” are the stupid things people say after it.

  But do we really know what it means?  Basically,  thats not fair  is saying  that is more to your advantage then mine or we don’t approve. This is kind of random but, do you think that if the situation was turned around and you had the advantage , would still say thats not fair.

 I think that you should make a list of everything that is not fair and every time you do something on the list then you say ” I guess I’m not fair”. Who is the Judge to to determine what is fair and what is not fair.  Who said life isn’t fair, well… who said it wasn’t?

God in the Business World

A lot of people follow Christ and a lot of people have businesses, but unfortunately, many people separate work from faith. They pray and follow the rules but they don’t take the advice the bible gives them about business. Yeah,  the bible has financial advice!  Over 250 verses of the bible  talk about money and over half of Jesus’s  parables talk about money. If God the all knowing wrote us advice,  shouldn’t we take it? 

 Look at Chick-Fil-a, their entire business plan is based around the biblical teaching. Thats why they are never open on Sundays. Look at how popular they are,  all because they followed the bible business advise. Want more? Look at Hobby-Lobby. You can not say they aren’t successful.

If you find any more business ran by Christian advice please tell me.

What is leadership?

Leadership is a skill that is desired by many.A lot of people have different ideas about leadership. If you ask 10 people to define leadership, you will get 10 different definitions. How would you define leadership? Would you include certain morals? The way I would personally define it is “The ability to get someone to follow you when their not required.” Do you agree?

prioritizing

Prioritizing is something that separates the people who thrive and the people who survive.

The definition of the word prioritize is determining the relative importance of items or tasks.

So in other words ordering the tasks from most important to least important. You should do this in the beginning of each month or week. This allows you to see which task you should put the most time in.

First make a list of all of your tasks. Then separate them into four groups: High importance High urgency, High importance low urgency, Low importance High urgency, or low importance low urgency.

High importance High urgency:is something that is something that could hurt your business if you don’t do it and needs to be done soon. Like . . . 

Stopping anything that can give the immediate impression to somebody that your business is bad

Going to an appointment

Rescheduling with a customer

Stopping anything that customers don’t like.

High importance low urgency:is something that can hurt you business if not done but, doesn’t need to be done right now. Like ….

Paying expenses. (As long as there not due in at least a week)

Making sure customers like your service.

High urgency low importance:is something that doesn’t NEED to be done but if your going to do it it needs to be done soon. Like…

Signing up for an event that happens soon that may improve the awareness of your business.

Stocking supplies based on a sale.

Low importance low urgency:is something that doesn’t need to be done and doesn’t need to be done. You could question of doing this and decide not to do it. If you want to do this but don’t have time then you could assign it to somebody else.

success

Success is something that we all want Males have a hunter mentality so when we finish something we are like, Yes! This is why we want to succeed. I think that to obtain success, we first have to define it. A definition I like is achieving a predetermined goal. So before you can know weather of not your succeeding you have to set goals.
