Outsourcing- Key to Business Growth
There comes a point in the growth of our businesses where we realize we can’t do everything ourselves. We’re responsible for the entirety of our businesses, and both business and family obligations are important and take up valuable time during the day. Sometimes, we all reach that point where we are having to make critical choices between important tasks because we just don’t have enough time to get them all done.
So doesn’t outsourcing portions of our businesses to expert contractors make perfect sense?
Success Matra: I accept my quirks as part of my personality.
I am my main supporter and number one fan while still being modest. My mental dialogue is positive and encouraging because I accept myself as I am.
My personality is an expression of who I am as a person and a representation of my heritage; therefore, I embrace my quirks with affection. The peculiar things I say and do are what make me unique.
Like bold splashes of bright colors, my quirks add life to an otherwise plain picture. I have enough confidence to laugh at my own eccentricities.
My actions are genuine because I refuse to allow the negative opinions of others to shape my personality. I am who I am at all times; regardless of who is around. I enjoy the personality given to me.
I refrain from trying to hide or suppress aspects of my personality because there is nothing wrong with me the way I am. I have been perfectly created to have the sense of humor I have, the volume I use, and the mannerisms I display.
I avoid troubling myself with trying to make others like me because the way people see me is a product of the way they see themselves.
Today, I choose to embrace my personality, quirks and all. I free myself from the constricting effects of self-consciousness through self-acceptance. By loving myself I teach others to do the same.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. What do I love about my personality?
2. How can I counter the constricting effects of self-consciousness?
3. Why should I stop worrying about trying to make people accept me?
The Truth About Open Rates
How many of your subscribers open the emails you send?
Many coaches and service professionals new to email marketing get discouraged when they look at the measurement called “open rate.” Those who’ve been at it for a while do, too.
Why is only a third of my contact list opening my emails? There must be something wrong. Is it worth all this effort if only a few people are reading what I send?
Before you throw in the towel, I want to let you in on a secret that a lot of folks don’t know:
Your open rate isn’t really your open rate.
As a measurement, the open rate is highly unreliable, imprecise and inadequate. Read the rest of this entry »
