Ingredients for success…
by Dale Carnegie
Passion for life, our business and to succeed, are all essential skills for any business owner. Though some are more demonstrative than others; as long as you have that enthusiasm for your craft, service, product, etc; that is half the battle. Additionally, some common sense and dedication is critical to your success. This quote has been re-phrased many times over; yet the bottom-line is still the same; in order to achieve success in life, one must have the desire, knowledge, dedication and positive outlook.
Achieving Balance…
How many people on their deathbed wish they’d spent more time at the office?
by Steven Covey
What a question; and so true. How do we avoid being in this position? One great way is to achieve a personal and work life balance. Today we can become overburdened with technology that gives us the ability to work 24/7/365. You may feel you’ve gained more time; however, all of this connectivity is truly taking away the balance we need in our lives. A recent article in Forbes Small Business Magazine highlighted a business owner who had enough. He hired a virtual assistant to answer his calls and respond to his email and gained 8 to 10 hours per week. This gentleman only responded to essential emails throughout the week and calls at specific times during the day; although then only after they were screened. The time he saved was used pursue and become proficient in three sports.
The next time you consider responding to that voicemail or email message received via your PDA during your personal time; ask yourself, is it really that critical or can somebody else handle it?

6 June 08 Jeff Paro of Sticky Marketing Systems
Join us this week to learn successful marketing tips from serial entrepreneur, Jeff Paro.
During his career, he has worked in every aspect of a company: Business Development and Strategy, Mergers and Acquisitions, Finance, Accounting, Sales and Marketing, both domestic and internationally. I have also successfully run and sold two businesses.
Like many business owners he came to a point in life where he asked, “is this all there is? Why am doing all this work? What do I really want out of life? What is really important to me?” and my focus shifting from just making money to making money in a purposeful way and creating magic moments along the way.
With a desire to impart what he had learned both in the University setting and the “real world”, he went on to become a speaker, trainer, and Peak Performance Strategist for the world renowned success coach Anthony Robbins. He currently uses many of the techniques Tony taught with his own clients to strengthen their mindset and to leverage business strategies.
His experience with the Anthony Robbins companies has afforded him the opportunity to learn from and work with some of the best in the world - people like Chet Holmes, Niurka, Dan Lier, Dan Kennedy, Jay Abraham, Roberto Monaco, John Sigman and many more.
Today he leads personalized and group marketing and sales coaching for small business owners who want to grow revenue to the next level and live a more meaningful personal life. Contact Jeff at http://stickymarketingsystems.com.
