The Holiday Season: Living With a Spirit of Gratitude

2011-01-14T09:30:00.000-08:00

Introduction
William Banks went to a black college. William's college had a rich tradition of graduating outstanding citizens. His professors were highly respected in their fields. He had a wonderful social life, surrounded by black college football, fraternity parties, and late night breakfast at Dennys with friends. After graduating from college, William got a great paying job with lots of responsibilities. However, William never gave anything back to his university. Why? He only thought about a) being cursed out by rude admission workers, b) the number of times the financial aid office lost his loan information, c) the numerous scandals by college administrators, and d) the hassle associated with trying to graduate on time. William never got over those negative college experiences. He never returned.

Sadly, our society has forgotten how to be appreciative. The holidays are no exception. Many people are too busy running the rat race to say, "Thank you." I remember sitting in a Sunday School class of young students during my college experience at Southern University. I remember one student saying how ungrateful he had been toward his parents. I also felt guilty. My parents bought me my first car while I was in high school; most students did not have cars. I had envisioned receiving a brand new car. Well, I didn't. I got an old 1973 Dodge Charger. I was disappointed. But, I fell in love with that old car which I later called "The New Wave Cruisemobile." My car was far more dependable than most automobiles. I remember never having said "thank you" for my car - I had also taken my parents for granted. Our society doesn't teach us that being appreciative is a virtue.

Gratitude
Developing a spirit of gratitude separates an individual from the rest of the pack. This attribute is all about character. Gratitude can be defined as the quality of being thankful; it is a readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. In the fast pace of industrial living, people aren't saying "thank you" to anyone. Most people feel they deserve any kind act done for them. In fact, a selfish society creates a generation of ungrateful children. Consequently, our children grow up with this huge expectation of social pampering. Why else would a) waiters expect tips without good service, b) students expect good grades without the effort, and c) couples want great relationships without any communication. All of these unrealistic expectations make "thank you" less important.

A New Attitude
It is easy to see how people such as recent college graduates, can be discouraged with the current economic recession. According to the U.S. Labor Department, only 47.6% of people aged 16 to 24 had jobs last August. In the current economic climate, individuals need a spirit of gratitude for a competitive advantage. Some young people may call this strategy too old-fashioned. Yet, fools shun wise counsel. In my book, Don't Be An Old Fool: Common Sense & Gratitude, I mock popular culture which provides solutions that don't make common sense. In my world, I define a fool as an individual who is unwilling to listen and heed wise advice. When you show someone some gratitude after they assist you, that individual will likely continue to help or do more for you. However, if you are ungrateful, many times people will not do any more for you. Here are some things you can do to help produce this act of kindness:

1) Count your blessings one by one. Give God thanks.
2) Tell your parents "thank you" for their support.
3) Give back financially to your university.
4) Visit past teachers who have contributed to your good character.
5) Support high school and college alumni organizations.
6) Send your church Sunday School teacher a greeting card.
7) Thank the person in your community who serves as your role model.
8) Thank the public servants in your area (such as garbage csollectors, police officers,
postal workers, fire fighters, etc.).
9) Recognize and praise past coaches who have helped you.
10) Say something positive to your minister who contributes to your spiritual growth.

Conclusion
As the economy continues to spiral downward, people are looking at various ways to differentiate themselves from the competition. The holiday season is the perfect time to add some gratitude into the character-building process. If a person is honest, he or she can probably think of at least one person who has helped him or her in some way. It's easy to get into a trap of only looking at the negative side of life. Can you afford to acknowledge these acts of kindness, no matter the size? Make your holidays the best ever! Spread your appreciation across your community. Showcasing a spirit of gratitude can be very rewarding and can transform an individual's situation.

Benefits of Integrated Biometric Time Attendance Software

2011-01-14T09:29:00.000-08:00

The vast majority of large and medium sized companies use time attendance software to manage their workforce effectively. Even smaller companies where it fits their needs employ time attendance software.

An effective time attendance software system has numerous benefits for a business and for larger businesses it is essential. They provide huge savings in man hours over older systems by minimising absenteeism. They also increase the efficiency of HR and accounts departments by providing centralised access to employee hours.

In companies that operate using flexi time or on shifts scheduling software is invaluable. Automated management of irregular hours saves on organisational efforts while preventing overlaps and gaps in shifts which drain resources.

High quality time attendance software will allow a company to forecast a schedule to see if any conflicts might arise. They may also run "what if" scenarios to see what the consequences of certain unusual situations might be, say for instance if a large number of employees became ill simultaneously.

Biometric integration with time attendance software

Optimal time attendance software should be fully integrated with biometric scanners. The addition of biometrics to a time and attendance system has many benefits.

Using biometrics to clock employees in means employees no longer have to clock in at a central area where time may be wasted queuing. They can sign in at their desks or at a localised sign in point. It also means there is no need to keep track of numerous punch cards or swipe keys that can be easily lost, using up the time of HR and IT that could be better spent elsewhere.

Scheduling software with integrated biometrics capabilities has the added benefit of removing the need for employees to remember passwords to access their work stations. The scanner can be set up to allow access to a terminal rather than inputting a password. Passwords are regularly forgotten and in a large company a lot of IT department time can be consumed by having to reset these passwords.

Security can also be improved with the addition of biometric scanners to time attendance software. The biometric scanners can easily be integrated into a company wide security system. Scanning units at a desktop computer or access terminal can be set up to prevent use by unauthorised personnel where sensitive data or programs may be present.

The biometrics can be used to control access to particular areas, only allowing employees with permission to enter. Certain units are designed to withstand outdoor weather conditions meaning they can be installed at the entrance to a building where staff arrive to prevent anyone who is not an employee from gaining entrance.

Buddy punching is where an employee signs in another employee who is absent, allowing them to be paid for time they have not worked. Time attendance software with integrated biometrics means buddy punching cannot occur. Since the employee needs to be physically present to sign in to work they cannot get paid for time they didn't work.

Biometrics can be used to verify that workers in remote offices or employees who are travelling are at their work station, allowing them to clock in remotely.

3 Tips To Help Business Owners Live Life and Have Fun

2011-01-14T09:20:00.000-08:00

I am sure you have heard these sayings many times...

"All work and no play."
"Work hard, play hard."

You know these sayings very well, and all of their different variations. Your parents, teachers and business mentors have said them to you multiple times, and you know why? They say them because they are true.

To put it plainly, business owners tend to be type A personalities and you'll often find them hard at work around the clock. Unfortunately, this all work and no play attitude can lead to a whole host of problems. We're talking about burnout, stress, fatigue, mental and physical health issues - not to mention boredom. This kind of work ethic can also end up killing a marriage, or at least create a rift between you and your spouse that will be hard to close.

It's time to add a little fun in your life. Here are three ways to add a little more fun into your life now, as opposed to waiting.

1) Plan Weekly Fun Time

Plan time for fun weekly. Not monthly, not annually - weekly. Do something you enjoy with the people you love once per week. And while you are at it, since you are so good at planning now, you might as well plan time for fun monthly, quarterly and annually. You're an entrepreneur so that you can have freedom and control over your schedule right? Would you choose to work 24/7? Of course not, so plan fun into your life just like you plan work.

2) Zen and the Art of Business

Live/work in the moment. This makes working hard and playing hard easier to do. When you're working, focus on work. Be there, in the moment without thinking about what you could or should be doing. You're doing it. Pay attention to that. When it's time to play, play. Don't think about work or what you could or should be doing. When you are playing, recognize that you are playing. Simple right? Well, it is not as easy as it sounds.

Living in the moment is something that takes practice; however, the rewards are well worth it. Your time will be much more rewarding, productive and enjoyable whether you're working or playing.

3) Reward Yourself When You Deserve It

Give yourself more than just a pat on the back for a job well done. Reward yourself. Do the things you enjoy doing. If you love dancing, go dancing. If you love hiking in the woods, go hiking in the woods. List the things you like/want to do that are fun, and do them. Just like you'd make a task list and check things off as you accomplish them for your business, make a list of the fun things you like and want to do and check them off as you do them. This embraces that type A personality you have and still lets you have fun.

Experts from around the world and the most successful people you've ever met do take time to have fun. Make a schedule for fun. Plan it into your day, your week, your month and your year. You're a business owner and that gives you the freedom to take vacations when you want to, to take a day off when you want to and to have a little bit of fun right smack dab in the middle of the day without risking your job or angering your boss. You work hard, right? Play hard too. Your family, friends and your sanity will thank you for it.

Guidelines On Negotiating When Confronted With An Ultimatum

2011-01-14T09:18:00.000-08:00

The "last word" is a well-loved technique used in business sales negotiations. Your negotiating partner presents you with an ultimatum and tells you what their final offer is and you can either take this or admit that the sales negotiations have failed. In this situation it is very important have the ability to distinguish between when the buyer is bluffing and when they're serious. If they are bluffing, you might be in a position to squeeze far more out of them. If they're not, it is, truly, your ultimate chance to achieve an agreement. Here are several sales training tips for hard situations like these:

How does the customer express themselves? Are they talking in phrases of absolute numbers (one thousand pounds and not a penny more!") or roughly ("I won't be able to give you more than 11 to 12,000")? Are they speaking in severe, uncompromising terms ("You will have to just accept that if we are to create any headway!").

Does their position set any conditions? The "ultimate word" is interpreted by the manner in which they express themselves (in vague/strict words).

Is the "ultimate word" in-keeping with the negotiating partner's last demands and/or deal, or is it far removed from these? If it is the latter, you still have a bit of negotiating leeway.

Have they supplied you an ultimatum after a very long period of negotiating or quite early on? An ultimatum presented somewhat early on is generally tactical in nature and hence accordingly flexible.

Does the negotiating partner sound credible or does their conduct seem contrived? Do they use fixed words like "in all seriousness" or "without wanting to exaggerate"?

Does their ultimate offer seem spontaneous in nature or planned? "Final words" that are especially precise and thorough imply that they're a tactical maneouvre!

Does the offer correspond to the negotiating partner's true interests? Can they definitely afford to allow the sales negotiations to fail?

Is the "last word" genuinely the only conceivable result for the negotiating partner or are there other suitable choices?

Do they actually have the standing or authority to break off sales negotiations without attaining a result?

Ultimatums initially bring negotiations to a dead end. The following sales training recommendations will allow you to break the impasse:

Take their "final word" as clear and unmistakable, but not as the end of the matter.

Supply your negotiating partner the chance to rethink their position and make a fresh suggestion.

Introduce new dimensions to the discussion (such as concessions in alternative places), which make it possible for your negotiating partner to withdraw their ultimatum with no losing face.

Make it possible for it to be thoroughly clear that it can only be useful for both sides to proceed with the negotiations.

Request your negotiating partner to at least listen to what you need to say.

Simply pass over the ultimatum whenever you sense it really is a bluff and change the subject.

Request some time to consider the ultimatum in order to refer back to your superiors.

If your positions on price tag are not very far apart, provide your negotiating partner the 50:50 solution: you split the difference and agree on a center figure.

Adjourn the negotiations in order that both sides will have an opportunity to consider details.

When confronted with an ultimatum never just give up. Stick to the techniques mentioned in this submission to help you and to explore further negotiation methods attend one of our sales training programmes.

Three Words That Will Change Your Business (And They Aren't "Increase Your Turnover")

2011-01-14T09:17:00.000-08:00

Imagine you are in the top 50 of your industry Australia wide out of a field of 1600, and you get introduced to the owner of the No 1 performing business in your industry. You arrange for private lunch, a chance to speak one on one with a keynote speaker at industry functions, someone that runs a team of 7 to your team of 1 (just you). He is the real big dog on the block. This is your chance to find out what they do that makes them No 1.

You're sitting at the table in anticipation, waiting for some pearls of wisdom to come forth to help you get bigger and better. And then he arrives. You ask and he talks.

After an hour you work out 2 critically important things. Firstly, he is on his way to a heart attack and an early grave by working ridiculous hours each week, and secondly (because you know the industries pricing structure) you know that...

... every month you are making 34% more Net Profit than him.

That's right 1 person outperforming 7, a difference of 938% profit per employee. A true story.

The 3 words that will change YOUR business... "Focus On Profit"

It's Whats Behind The Veil That Matters

It's easy to sit in awe of your competitors, and try to do the numbers of how much they are doing in sales. But big numbers are irrelevant. They are only part of the game and when you constantly focus on turnover you are leaving out the key parts of the equation. You can't survive or flourish unless your business is making a healthy profit.

Remember this one most important phrase:

"It's Not What You Make That Matters, It Is What You Keep".

What's You Can't See Can Hurt You (BIG TIME!)

The problem for most businesses is that they don't increase the visibility of profit in their business.

To have a proper profit focus in your business you should stop waiting till the end of the year to find out if you have made any money or not. You should be looking at your figures weekly or at most monthly. Get your bookkeeper or accountant to do this (if its too much trouble for them, get someone else)

If you are doing quotes, build your overheads into your quotations so you know on each quote how much money you are REALLY making.

Other Profit Focused Strategies

Measure your profitability per employee per month (as I did above). This gets you focused on getting the maximum bang for your buck out of your team.

Check your profitability per customer. It most probably wouldn't surprise you to know that those "problem" customers who expect the world and want to pay peanuts are costing you money. Focus on "A" grade customers.

Reward your salespeople based upon your most profitable lines not necessarily on highest sales figures.

And obviously keep a tight control on your expenses, don't spend on things that aren't going to make you a profit.

It may seem obvious, it may seem basic, but don't fall into the trap of NOT looking at the bottom line at least once a month.

Get Moving: Print your Profit and Loss report today and check it. Start asking questions (of your accountant, suppliers, team)...

Testing Time for the Home Electronics Beginner

2011-01-14T09:06:00.000-08:00

There are few hobbies that are rising in popularity as fast as home electronics. Every day more people decide that they want to learn about electronics, either to understand the technologies that they encounter every day, or to design their own cool gadgets at home. There are even trained engineers out there who work on prototypes of their own inventions at home with the aim of creating a new device that will one day make it to market.

There are many components that the beginner needs to understand in order to have a good working knowledge of electronics, and one of these is the oscilloscope - an electronic test instrument that allows you to view constantly varying signal voltages.

Oscilloscopes generally display data on voltages as a 2-dimensional graph, with a voltage on its vertical axis, and on the other axis any other parameter that can be converted into a voltage. They show the wave shape of an electrical signal and are vital to many devices in the medical, scientific, engineering and telecommunications industry.

Some of that may sound complex to anyone who does not have a solid grounding in electronics, but never fear, there are easy ways to learn what an oscilloscope does and how it functions.

One of the best ways to get to grips with this technology is to buy an oscilloscope kit so that you can learn about this useful tool from the inside out. You will get to see all the components as you assemble the kit, and find out how they act together to deliver the functionality that is important in so many devices, from the simple to the extremely high-tech.

A quick look at some of the online suppliers of electronic components that have opened up in the last few years to serve the needs of this fast growing market will yield some interesting oscilloscope kits to get you started. The digital oscilloscope DIY kit from Sparkfun, for instance, is a good entry level kit that will be fun to build and will let you in on valuable knowledge that will help develop your passion for electronics further.

When the device is up and running it will be able to provide 5m samples per second, 8-bit resolution and up to 50Vpp maximum input voltage. With a serial adapter, the data display can be transferred to a PC by screen capture as a bitmap file, so you can store the information for later use.

Assembly instructions with any good oscilloscope kit will be easy to follow, but if you have any problems or queries then the better online suppliers will be willing to give you advice on what products to buy and how to assemble them. Take advantage of their knowledge. Often the people selling the kits are both electronics enthusiasts and trained engineers, so they will be only too glad to support you as you learn.

The Easy Way to Open Source

2011-01-14T09:04:00.000-08:00

There has been a revolution in home electronics in recent years, not least because of the increasing sophistication of open source technology. Open source is a production and development environment that aims to give access to the technology underlying internet and electronic devices.

Along with the increasingly high quality of electronic components that are readily available on the open market, the open source development model has made it much easier for hobbyists and enthusiasts to develop their own software and hardware. The number of people developing their own devices at home is growing rapidly, whether they are keen amateurs wanting to learn more about electronics, or trained engineers working to develop their own prototypes for products that might one day have commercial applications.

For these enthusiasts, the availability of open source technology has been a huge catalyst to invention and creativity, and they have made the process of learning about or developing new equipment far easier.

A look at some of the electronics components available from the growing number of online suppliers quickly reveals the sophistication and simplicity of the boards that you can buy. Take, for example, the Fez Panda. Behind the cute name lies a.NET micro framework that allows users to program and debug using Microsoft's free Visual C# Express. It allows applications to be loaded via a USB cable with full featured debugging capabilities, such as stepping in code or inspecting variables.

For the experienced electronics enthusiast all of that terminology will make perfect sense, but for the beginner it may sound complex. Nevertheless, if you are just starting to learn about this kind of technology, then there is an easy way to build on your knowledge - a Fez Ultimate Kit - which is also a good way for the more knowledgeable enthusiast to build on the capability of this innovative board.

The Fez Panda, or equally the FEZ Domino, lies at the heart of this kit, which includes an infra-red receiver, an IRLED transmitter, a light sensor, a thermometer, a speaker, a variable resistor and much more. The kit is a perfect choice for anyone with no experience in hardware whatsoever, and provides internet connectivity to Fez Panda.

The kit consists of e-blocks that are easy to assemble for plug-and-play functionality, so you can get access to inputs and sensor data in a matter of minutes. Assemble the components and connect to an internet service to store and request data and this neat piece of kit opens up endless possibilities.

You could use it to automate your home as a controller for all the gadgets you have wired up or you could use it to allow your mobile phone to act as a remote control for your television. All of this and much more is easy to understand with the "Internet of Things" eBook, which comes with the kit. As well as giving you some cool applications for the technology, it will help you to learn a host of things about home electronics.

If the book is not enough, then you can always call on the expert knowledge of the online suppliers selling these kits. Often they are electronics enthusiasts, too, with a wealth of experience, and they will be happy to answer any queries you have, either about which products to buy or how to use them.

Proto-PIC is the best source for electronics enthusiasts who look out for UK electronic components like fez panda to showcase their creative talent.

Solar Cables

2011-01-14T09:03:00.001-08:00

The sun is a renewable source of energy that has become increasingly popular over the last 10 years. Photovoltaic systems are being installed all over the world and the components used to build them need to endure extreme temperature ranges and UV exposure. Photovoltaic systems are also growing in the UK, but there's confusion over which materials and solar cables to use, as some systems have been installed with unsuitable products, such as Rubber cables.

Rubber Solar cables will perform their functions, but after exposure to severe temperature variations they will eventually become brittle, in some cases leading to arcing which can generate temperatures in excess of 2,500 degrees C.

Solar cables need to be durable and resilient to withstand and survive in the harshest of conditions. The cables will need to be certified to national and international approvals by independent testing institutes, as well as being tested in their own laboratories. Quality solar cables have many benefits including UV resistant and the fact that they can withstand extreme temperature variations and weather.

Specific solar cables have an election beamed cross linked halogen free range of cables that offers weather, abrasion and UV resistant protection for permanent outdoor use. They are suited for the connection of the solar modules to the AC/DC inverter. Cores of fine wire strands of tinned copper, with electron beam cross linked copolymer insulation and coloured coded black, red or blue. The outer sheath consists of black electron beam cross-linked copolymer.

Other cables such as certain halogen free cables have smaller outer diameters for installations in confined spaces. These types of cables are weather, abrasion and UV resistant offering protection for permanent outdoor use. They are suitable for connecting the solar modules and as a connection to the AC/DC inverter.

Robust solar cables have a high grade steel wire braid to protect against mechanical damage and against rodents and termites.

NYY copper conductors and NAYY aluminum conductors are VDE approved, black PVC jacketed, power and control cables which are available in single or multi-core versions. These cables are specifically designed for energy supply in cable ducts, power stations, distribution boards, industrial applications and subscriber networks. The larger conductor cross sections are used to transmit high power loads between individual panels and connect to the DC/AC inverter of large photovoltaic plants. NYY and NAYY cables can be installed in open air, underground and in water.

Managing Digital Files With A Digital Asset Management System

2011-01-14T09:03:00.000-08:00

Digital Asset Management systems are the most effective way for companies to manage, distribute, and update all of their digital files and brand assets over the internet. Through such systems, not only images, but documents, videos, logos, and guidelines can be distributed, organized, and shared seamlessly. The process is dynamic and allows for companies and organizations to save both time and money through the increases in efficiency they can expect from such systems. This article will discuss the benefits and features of using a Digital Asset Management System to manage one's digital files.

Perhaps the most direct benefit of using such software is that it makes it far simpler to manage the consistency of one's brand. Through asset management systems, everyone can finally have the digital assets they are interested in having in formats that are correct and up to date. They will also receive the guidelines that are necessary for them to apply the digital assets correctly. This is a huge advantage for businesses and clients, as consistency and simplicity means less time has to be spent revising information and resending files, and more time can be spent generating profits, reaching out to clients, and conducting other vital processes of one's business.

Marketing time and resources are freed up dramatically when one switches toward using a Digital Asset Management system to manage their digital files. Productivity can then increase as a result. People such as customers and clients who are looking for brand assets that have been approved can then go straight to the hub to receive what they need, rather than repeatedly going to the head of the organization or to the design team. When such teams do not have to spend excess amounts of time fielding the same questions over where to find particular files and how to convert them into legible formats, they can spend more time doing what they do best, including designing additional assets and steering the company toward progress.

Brand asset management costs can easily drop in excess of 30% once one switches to a Digital Asset Management System for managing digital files. There will no longer be a need to manually send out brand elements or guidelines; that time can be devoted to more useful purposes. People who need such information are now empowered to find it on their own, which results in lower amounts of overhead and higher amounts of productivity.

When the process of making the most of one's brand becomes cost effective, fool proof, quick, and easy, it is hard to imagine a business becoming anything but better. When all of one's digital brand assets become available in a single place on the internet and when they become organised efficiently, only good things can happen for one's business efforts.

Of course, access to such information must be controlled, and this is why a high quality Digital Asset Management System will put the owner in control of what material is downloaded so sensitive artwork and documents remain confidential. The service is fully customizable and designed for practical businesses.

Critical Questions You Must Ask About Paper Shredding

2011-01-14T08:57:00.000-08:00

Ever heard of corporate intelligence, corporate security, and counterespionage? Well, there are people whose main business is to mind your business by scavenging through your garbage, undermining your privacy and stealing corporate information. Just when you think having your own paper shredder and performing in-house shredding is enough - think again. There are pitfalls to this practice, and you are as endangered as when you didn't have a shredder.

Who is doing the shredding?

Have you gone a comprehensive background check on the staff you've assigned to oversee in-house shredding? The job may be too basic but many of your organisation's secrets are right there in the hands of this person. Are your shredding personnel trustworthy and competent enough to perform reliable document destruction? Do they know the importance of their job? Is their work audited and documented, or at best certified?

How is the shredding done?

There's a reason why shredding services provider provide certificate and documentation every time they render shredding. It's important for the shredding of records to be witnessed, documented, and done professionally, with consideration for the protection of the environment. It's not enough to have those records cut into pieces. There should be a records management and destruction program designed to ensure utmost safety.

Where do the shredded materials go?

There is a proper and safe way to dispose of shredded paper. Shredding companies guarantee this by partnering with reliable paper mills, providing well-documented shredding services, even combining shredded materials from various clients. The shredded materials are then recycled to make eco-friendly paper products. How are those pieces disposed? If they end up in the standard dumpsters, they could fall into the hands of spies.

What happens when your shredder malfunctions?

Too many times, employees don't bother with a shredder that doesn't work nor has overflowing bin. Many forget security protocol, or aren't aware of one, and simply crumple paper and throw them in the garbage like an ordinary candy wrapper. This practice is not just environmentally unsound but it also puts the organisation in great danger. Documents which are supposedly shredded and disposed properly - where are they stored while the shredders are down?

What's your other option?

Your organisation will have many things to worry about, but some problems can be avoided. Designing and implementing a reliable records management and destruction program is a good preventive approach against counterespionage and information theft. It's good to have your own shredder and do in-house shredding. However, your methods may not offer the level of protection that you require. To ensure maximum security and safety, leave paper shredding to specialists.
