Whether that's true or not, doesn't matter because that's perception I got about company.

What Image Do You and Your People Portray?

Image is very important. We judge people on way they look and behave. Do you dress appropriately for your role? Do your people?

Is image you portray professional? Does it instill confidence, trust, reliability?

Image is not just about physical aspect of a person. The environment you work and live in also says a lot about you. So does vehicle you drive.

For instance a cluttered environment gives impression of chaos, disorganisation and sloppiness. Whereby a clean and tidy area portrays harmony and control. Terrific Timesaving Products Have you visited our online product catalogue? CLICK HERE

Your signage. Sandwich boards, banners, car and shop signs are part of your image.

Your car - is it clean on outside and inside?

Your home - is it clean and tidy on inside and outside?

Your Financial Future - Whose Responsibility?

Unfortunately you cannot leave your financial well-being in hands of anyone else except yourself.

Of course, you can seek advice from professionals in that field like accountants and financial planners; however, it really is up to you to lead way …to be proactive!

Having attended many seminars, spoken to wealthy people and to financial professionals (many of whom aren't independently wealthy themselves), and read many books on topic of wealth creation, I have found you cannot rely on any one person to delegate your financial affairs to. You need to be proactive and take control of your own life.

How to Take Control of Your Financial Future

Get your finances in order first: You need to know what you spend, what you earn, how much you owe and how much you own…Not in your head but in writing. What you think your situation is and what is reality, will more than likely be two totally different scenarios.

If you know where you are right now you can then seek out appropriate solutions to your specific financial needs.

How to Get Started

Speak with your accountant on best way to set up your recording system. Ask them how you can increase your wealth. Ask your accountant and/or your financial advisor how they have created their wealth. What do they invest in? Talk to people who are wealthy. Ask them how they accumulated their wealth. Question everything. Read books and attend seminars on wealth creation…the more informed you are easier it is to make sound decisions. We regularly advertise these types of events in our Event Update: http://www.office-organiser.com.au/weeklyupdate.html Don't believe everything you hear, see and read, particularly if person advising you reaps financial benefit from you accepting their advice. Only listen to people who "have rungs on ladder". Once you've have done some research (and this can happen in a matter of days or weeks, depending on your efforts) then: Take action Sure you'll make mistakes along way, however that's only way you can progress. Learn from them and move on.

The Final Word Looking after your financial well-being should be high on your priorities. It's about having choices in your life. Do you really want to work from dawn to dusk to support lifestyle you and your family have become accustomed to? Perhaps you don't get to enjoy lifestyle because you're too busy busting your guts at work.

Imagine what it would be like to work because you want to, not because you have to?

If financial freedom is something you desire in not too distant future (and it doesn't happen overnight), you have to take action sometime... like right now!
