STOP WASTING TIME

Consider most important things you need to accomplish. These are high priorities. Then think about those things that seem to take up a lot of time and get you nowhere. Those are low priorities.

Understand what's important to achieve and do those things first. Let go of all busywork for paperwork that piles up. It's better for you to stack those low priorities somewhere else and finish important material than to spend time clearing your desk to get down to essential things.

You'll be noticed more quickly for big things you achieve than for keeping paper flowing. Don't let co-workers waste your time with chitchat if you've got things to accomplish. Save that for lunch hours or for after work social activities.

Handle paper once; decide action and finish with it. Keep interruptions to a minimum and delegate responsibilities. Although you'd like to believe you're indispensable to job and you are only one to take care of many things, you can teach someone else and move on to your own goal achievements.

DON'T PROCRASTINATE

What are you waiting for? Few opportunities are thrown at you; you have to create right positions and situations to move up. Make lists of things you want to accomplish and do them.

If you're busy in an office situation, make daily lists and reward yourself with praise upon completion. Catch yourself achieving.

Concentrate on what you're doing and do one thing at a time. But do it quickly and handle next thing. Be efficient in telephone calls, maybe taking them at appointed times or calling back at your convenience.

Don't generate copies or correspondence that make you look like you are doing things. Your superiors will know what you accomplish. Be busy doing important things rather than writing about what you've done.

And take time for physical exercise. It will energize you - not take away from your effectiveness. It relaxes your mind and stimulates your capacity to achieve.

As another nice touch they are also donating a percentage of profits to charity.

They seem to have made a fair attempt at trying to make some money from what could have otherwise been a family tragedy. Good luck to them I say!

Keep Your Eye's Open For Potential Money Spinners

This sort of opportunity is nearly always going to be a short-term money spinner. Obviously, most people are not going to stumble on a life saving kangaroo like this one.

However, as an entrepreneur it may pay you to keep your eye out for any unusual events, acts of bravery, etc. Basically anything that has potential for a lot of media interest.

Most people like Richard's family would never even consider building their own website after a situation like this. You can get a domain name and some hosting for about $20. If you know how to build a basic looking website, only additional cost will be your time.

As this story showed, having a website really helped to give this tale of bravery worldwide recognition. If you type 'lulu kangaroo' into a search engine you will find loads of news sites linking to Lulu's website. I very much doubt there would have been as much interest if news websites didn't have Lulu's website to refer and link to.

Joint Venture Possibilities

If you have your own niche product already, you could go looking for human interest stories that relate to your product. Alternatively you could team up with a joint venture partner that does have a related product.

Here's An Exaple...

Let's say that a story breaks in your area about a woman that has given birth to 7 children all at once. With IVF treatment this could happen. This sort of thing is usually very popular in media.

You could approach woman and offer to build a website for her. With all those children she is bound to get a lot of media coverage, and she might be interested in trying to make a bit of money from all media interest. At end of day, all those hungry mouths will need to be fed somehow.

You could propose a 50/50 split on any profits from displaying a few ads and links to baby related products on site.

Summary

This is not sort of thing that you would be able to give up your day job to pursue, but it could provide you with a nice little cash boost.
