Added for You - Growing Though Emotions
We usually think of promotional items as something that businesses give away to promote their company and products, but promotional polo shirts can be used in another way to help give your company an unmistakable identity. Promotional polo shirts can identify your staff at events, give them a uniform, neat appearance in your store, restaurant or pub, and identify them if they do home visits or work outside the office.Use Promotional Polo Shirts Instead of UniformsWhen you dress your staff in polo shirts in the company colors with the company logo, you present a neat, casual and unified front to your customers. Polo shirts are available in a wide variety of styles and colors, so it’s easy to choose a color combination and style that best suits your company’s image and color scheme. The logo can be embroidered or screen printed, and placed on the breast pocket, chest or sleeve. With all the different variable that you can choose, it’s easy to create a distinctive look for your staff.
They start self-sabotaging their success.
Can you relate to that?
Let me give you some examples…
Instead of going out and selling – you may look for paperwork to do.
Instead of training your staff – you keep yourself busy elsewhere.
Instead of doing your financials – you work extra on ‘little’ things that keep you away from doing your financials.
You may tend to create all different types of diversions…
Do you think now that pet owners would be prepared to pay more for pet foods made only with North American ingredients? Or under strict government control? Read that question one more time if you have pets. This is the question on the mind of every pet owner and those who retail pet foods these last few days. We have an epidemic of companies who had their pet food made by one firm. However in the time it took me to start writing this column -- only up to this point -- the situation has changed again. As of two minutes ago, Purina has recalled Alpo. The recall affects all sizes and varieties of Alpo Prime Cuts in Gravy wet dog food with specific date codes, but not food made in Canada.U.S.-based Purina said that wheat gluten containing melamine, a chemical used in fertilizers in Asia and to make plastics and laminates, was provided for the manufacturing of the dog food by the same company that also supplied Menu Foods.The contamination occurred in a limited production quantity at only one of Purina's 17 pet food
Emotions
Yes emotions.
It sounds funny to some people… until they are in the situation to experience them.
In Fact, many business owners say to me… ‘Gee if I could grow my business to make a million a year – I’d do it’.
It sounds easy to do.
The reality for most people is - it isn’t.
For some reason when you are faced with achieving great success, emotions can come up and disrupt/delay or eliminate your opportunities.
You can have emotions that make you scared of failure.
You can have emotions that make you scared of success.
You can even have emotions that make you both scared of failure and success at the same time.
Let me give you an example of how emotions can disrupt your business growth.
I have worked with many business owners that want to grow their business… yet their excuse is ‘they’re too busy, and that they ‘don’t have the time’.
They often say to me…
Case ‘I’d love to grow my business but I’m just too busy. If I had more time, I’d easily grow the business’.
So they start working with me.
We put into place certain things that free up their time – so that they can then grow their business.
You know what happens… Well, all of a sudden, they can’t use the ‘I don’t have the time’ excuse anymore.
And for many business owners – it’s terrifying.
All of a sudden they have the time, and they know what they HAVE to do to grow their business, but for various reasons they can’t bring themselves to do the things they know will grow their business.
So they start creating situations in their business, that will draw them back into the ‘day to day’ activities of the business and away from ‘growing’ their business.
They start self-sabotaging their success.
Can you relate to that?

<1) They don’t fully understand it.Perception: Marketing is advertising. Reality: Marketing may not even include advertising. Perception: Marketing is an expense. Reality: Marketing is an investment. _______________________________________________________________________ 2) They rely almost exclusively on Word-of-Mouth.Word-of-mouth is the best way to get business and savvy marketing helps create it. So, you can’t sit back and hope for customers. You must be proactive._______________________________________________________________________ 3) They think they can’t afford it.This ties in with the perception/reality issue…when marketing is primarily limited to traditional advertising that’s usually expensive and often less than effective. Good marketing involves a smorgasbord of cost-effective, creative options and executions._______________________________________________________________________ality for most people is - it isn’t.

Procurement can be defined as the purchase of merchandise or services at the optimum possible total cost in the correct amount and quality. These good and services are also purchased at the correct time and location for the express gain or use of government, company, business, or individuals by signing a contract.The process of acquisition of goods or services required as raw material (direct procurement) or for operational purposes (indirect procurement) for a company or a person can be called procurement. The procurement process not only involves the purchasing of commodities but also quality and quantity checks. Usually, suppliers are listed and pre-determined by the procuring company. This makes the process smoother, promoting a good business relationship between the buyer and the supplier.The synonyms for procurement, which are gain, purchase, buy, and acquire, can throw light on the meaning of procurement. The process of procurement may differ from company to company, and a government institution may have a

Two products that some may say independently epitomise America and Britain are chewing gum and tea. These two items have played a role in dramatically changing our lives.Not because the Americans are known for chewing gum and the Britain's are known for drinking tea, but those two products have represented their countries in being the very first to wear a barcode.When Andrew Melrose chose to sell tea for a living, did he know what landmarks he would bequeath? In 1833 Melrose's became the first company to legally land tea independently of the East Indies Trading Co. William Wrigley only went into the chewing gum business after discovering that the gum he gave away as an incentive to buy his father's soap was more popular with customers than the soap itself.Was it choice or circumstance that chewing gum pieces in the USA and tea in the UK would be the first to start the Epos industry rolling?In the UK we have nothing left to celebrate this great achievement.

Sooner or later, if you work as a virtual assistant, you are bound to come in contact with at least one Difficult Client. These are defined by the following behaviors:1. Impatience & Irritation2. Angry Emails3. Yelling4. Irrational Demands5. Threats6. Late Payments, or Not Paying at AllBefore you get too scared, and think about ditching your comfortable work-at-home living, let me tell you that there are several ways to work with these Difficult Clients, and even possibly train them to your way of thinking.Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. had it right when they said that the best way to solve a conflict is with non-violence. Yelling at a difficult client is only likely to yield even worse results than you're already getting. You may lose this client forever or, if an invoice is still outstanding, not get paid. And none of us wants that. Coward's Guide to Conflict offers real-life techniques for resolving conflicts, even if you'

Does this sound familiar?
Well guess what, it’s normal – and you can swiftly step through it – with some help.
I specialize in helping business owners grow through these ‘emotions’. I’ve seen them all before…
You see my clients quickly find out that I can help them through this trap… I keep them accountable for them doing what it takes for them to grow their business – and I don’t give in.
Think about it… When you’re the boss in the business – who’s there to keep you accountable?
You can put things off… and sometimes it can really hurt you.
When you work with me I’m there to help you follow through on growing your business – rather than leaving you to sabotaging your growth. It’s part of how I’ve helped many clients add millions to their business in just a few years.
Maybe you could achieve the same results… would that be of benefit to you?
Emotions can empower you, or disable you. So being able to grow through your emotions is one of the secrets of business growth.
All the best business owners are able to work their way through these ‘emotions’.
And you can too!
It’s a key part of growing your business successfully.
In fact just the other day I was talking to one of the best clients I have worked with. He now runs a very, very successful $3 million dollar business. When he came to me, it was just over $1 million.
He said to me “Case now that I look back at all the stupid emotions that I had to deal with when I was growing the business, it amazed me at how much time I wasted.
Wasted on getting through my emotional blocks.
But I realize now that those emotions are what held me back in the first place and that I HAD to work through them to get to where I am now.
I had to become a $3 Million dollar businessman first before I could grow to $3 Million.”
And it’s true.
