How to Create Your Procedures Manual

Your Business Runs On Systems For many small businesses, especially solo-preneurs, the systems that run your business stay in your head. You run on automatic during the day. Every morning you start the day engaging with new followers on your Business Page or your website. Or during the week you know that Friday morning is the time you use to engage on twitter.  Do you process orders as they come in?  Every day? Every two days? If you suddenly are gone who will know what to do to keep your business running? It could be something as simple as taking a vacation or it could be an auto accident. Having your systems written down makes it easy for someone to hold down the fort while you are gone. If your system is not in writing, it doesn’t exist. Kenneth Manasse Sr. Call it a system.

Words – Language Building Blocks

Words Language Building Blocks When I first studied Latin the first thing we had to memorise was not sum, es, est, sumis, estis, sunt or amo, amas, amat it was the definition of language. Language is a given set of arbitrary vocal symbols by means of which a social group communicates. This definition is so apt for online presence as you communicate with your social group. Whether on your website or a social media platform, or here on Google+ your semantic authorship, your word use, is key to not only to having your content read and recognised by search engines but to your communication with your social group. Do you want to be convincing, creative, or decisive? Or do you want to convert or contribute? Are You a Beginner at Word Use? Here’s a quick tip to gather words to enhance your semantic authorship. Try Mirroring. Identify two or three individuals who use the tone you want to strengthen. Want to appear more convincing? Find those folks you feel are the most convincing.  Gather

New Year’s Resolutions Always Fail?

Create Goals for a Plan A new year brings to mind New Year’s Resolutions. These resolutions are set and then usually lost by some time in March. For business setting and reviewing goals is more important. Setting realistic, workable goals leads naturally to creating a business plan. As time goes by goals can be adjusted and so can the plan.

My business turned around when I focused on my personal with internal strengths. I clearly identified two that have been true through my life: Help people learn to learn Connect individuals with each other (networking) Knowing your strengths helps clarify not only what you do well, but how to structure your business focus around your strengths.
