Added for You - Building A Practice On Purpose Series Part #6 - Forge A Practice On Purpose Operating System
Moving into an office is a big step when you run a small business or start-up, and finding the right premises in the right location and at the right price is a daunting task. Get it right, and your office premises will help you improve productivity, attract and retain good employees and give a positive impression to your customers. But get it wrong, and you could be left tied into a costly lease with premises that might not suit your needs in the future. Philip Dodson, of Office Planet explains what businesses need to do to find the right office space to meet their requirements.<
SUPPORT STRUCTURES
These are the physical structures that you may need to maintain your principles, practices and projects and could include:
* Weekly team meetings
* Displays of your principles and practices
* Notebook where you keep your list of Purpose Projects, etc.
Building such an operating system in your business and in your personal life takes time, which is why it's important to carve out 'working-on-your-business (and on your life)' time for such activities. In the process of forging such a system you are bringing a level of integrity to your business and life that will serve you well in the long run.

Every successful individual accomplishes his goals with the support and guidance of his coach or mentor. The coaches’ ability to motivate, communicate and establish a relationship with the students is a remarkable trait that brings out the individuals’ core values. Business coaching is a new phenomenon that has developed into a movement in the corporate world, which facilitates behavioral and psychological changes in the executives to better their managerial styles. The basic aim of business coaching is to make corporate personnel aware of their impact on others, learn how to motiva
Here's a skeletal framework that can be used for building a dependable operating system that will help assure your practice stays on purpose.
PURPOSE PRINCIPLES
Purpose principles are standards or guidelines you intend to adhere to that will maintain the practice staying true to its vision and your personal life purpose. For example, one of Life On Purpose Institute, Inc.'s (LOPI) Purpose Principles is: We add value to people's lives for the pure joy of it. For me this practice is consistent with our vision of a World On Purpose as well as an expression of a "life of mindful abundance balanced with simplicity" portion of my life purpose statement. Here are a couple more:
* The people who work and play at Life On Purpose Institute are crystal clear that their involvement is a full expression of their own life purpose and that as the vision of LOPI is realized, their life purpose is also being realized.
* At LOPI, people not only work in their jobs and their accountabilities, they also work on them, continuing to improve, innovate and implement.
* At LOPI we realize that anything and everything can be resolved through communication and we'd rather err on the side of over-communicating than under-communicating.
PURPOSE PRACTICES
Purpose Practices are ways of implementing and operating consistently with the Purpose Principles. Here are a few examples:
* We've started providing each fr.ee teleclass a complete set of notes and with a follow up 'purposeful present' for those who attend. These practices are consistent with adding value to people's lives for the pure joy of it.
* Everyone who joins the Life On Purpose Team goes through the Life On Purpose Process to clarify their true life purpose and learn the tools for living true to it. This practice is consistent with the principle that all people at our enterprise be crystal clear about our life purpose.
* And consistent with our commitment to both work in our business and on our business, I've set aside two half days to work on the business which includes a weekly Team-LOPI phone meeting for that purpose.
PURPOSE PROJECTS
In one sense a business is what I refer to as a "Meta" Purpose Project in that it is usually an amalgam of several smaller Purpose Projects. The key point to remember is that for a project to be a Purpose Project it needs to be consistent with and an expression of the vision of the business (which, since the vision arises from the owner's life purpose, the projects of the business will be consistent with that as well.) Again, as an example, Life On Purpose Institute, Inc. is a Meta Purpose Project of my life purpose, and the business is made up of several other Purpose Projects such as:
* Speaking On Purpose Project - This includes our fr.ee teleclasses, live presentations, and soon will include offering our services to radio talk shows, and also developing speaking opportunities to the Spanish speaking world.
* Practice On Purpose - our subsidiary is its own Purpose Project and personal coaching practice where I work with burned out boomer professional and business owners.
* Visionary Writers On Purpose Team - Our growing team of writers committed that the Power of Words can shape our world and create a World On Purpose. The list goes on and on, but I won't. I think you get the point.

Drawing people into a specific booth is often the main focus at any exhibition. This can be more easily achieved if you choose a theme for your exhibition table. You don’t have to go over-the-top, but themes allow people to equate your business with certain characteristics and help you embed your company name in their memory. You can use your Exhibition gifts to emulate a theme. Here are just a few great ideas for the next time you need a booth theme and gift ideas for an exhibition.

When faced with the challenge of trying to find out information on companies, industries and sectors with no starting point (and often through stealth), there can be a tendency to believe that this ‘new’ knowledge does not come free. Yes, sometimes the answer is to buy a pre-written report, or pay to subscribe to certain data sources; however, these rarely give you the full picture and can you justify spending what can be big money on a report that you can’t ‘try before you buy’? I find it satisfying to get this information free and often employ some of the methods outlined below, w
