3. You spend time telling people exactly what to do and how. Ask yourself: Is this kind of instruction really necessary? Is there a way to give less instruction and allow employees to find solutions to issues themselves?

HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED WHEN BUSINESS IS SLOW

Written by Vicente Alfonso

Continued from page 1
DREAM-BUILDING and VISUALIZATION..... My sponsor is a wise man. This is part of why we are still friends today, even though our business relationship is over. He taught me that in order to really stay focused , we sometime have to find something that we want and "hold out repparttar

carrot in front of us". For me, that carrot was car. Mercedes 500 S-CLASS. What he had me do was use my mind and visualize repparttar 105485

car I wanted, repparttar 105486

exact color, repparttar 105487

model,

interior,

stereo system, everything. He would then take me to repparttar 105490

car dealer and show me exactly what I had visualized."Sit in it," he would say. While I sat in this car and drooled all over myself, he went and talked to repparttar 105491

dealer.He came back and with a straight face, handed me repparttar 105492

keys and told me not to drive so fast.I almost had a heart attack. I mean I was 20 years old behind repparttar 105493

wheel of a $100,000 car, I almost fainted. We drove it on repparttar 105494

highway for about an hour.I got it up to 90MPH. Then he said "Time to go back". Dream-build, It's a really great motivator. GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT...... Without a doubt, patience is on of repparttar 105495

most difficult things for any Entrepreneur to learn. We want it when we want it, and that's it. Even though we have heard that most businesses take five to six years to turn a profit,we think that shouldn't apply to us. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is your business. Be patient. Let your eyes be equal to your stomach.I find that repparttar 105496

older I get, repparttar 105497

easier it is to be patient. Take George Clooney. George Clooney was on well over twelve T.V. shows before he got E.R. Whoever said that patience is a virtue was right.
