Will You Add? - Choice Theory - Comprehensive Decisions 4 Your QCL Productivity
It’s hard to believe that it all began almost a year ago. Time really does fly when you are consumed by the task at hand or even worse, constantly perplexed. My wife and I thought it might be fun to start an Internet store as a side business to my Professional Engineering and Contracting business. After all, I’m somewhat computer literate. How hard or demanding could it possibly be? I figured there must be a cookbook solution somewhere that would define the exact steps that if taken, would catapult us to stardom.Little did I realize that life on the Internet is quite a bit different than the world of absolute truths that I exist in as an Engineer. Everyone is presented as an expert but few people seem to agree on any
When issues are causing difficulties and you need to make a decision about someone or something, take a blank page and at the top write out what’s bothering you. Put right/good on one side and wrong/bad on the other. All the negative factors go on one side and the positive attributes on the other. When we keep things locked up inside our head, they get stuck. Visualize your thoughts in writ
Okay, you’ve decided that you’d like to join the growing group of individuals who’ve opened their own home business. It’s a great decision and I’m certain that you will soon see why so many people have decided to follow the same path. However, you’re probably wondering to yourself what type of business you should start. One great way to get started without a large initial investment is through affiliate marketing.I’m very familiar with the affiliate marketing aspect of home business because this is the area that I specialize in. Affiliate marketing is nice because you do not actually have to handle any physical products. Your main goal is to act as an advertiser for a particular company or for a general group of products.
Here’s the QCL- Quick Check List
1 Calm analysis - look ahead, think about your choices
2 Get facts straight - make sure information is reliable
3 Clarify your list - what do you need to accomplish
4 Prioritize time - follow through and complete
How do you make decisions? If this is a challenge for you, consider this. Knowing what to do and doing it are two totally different things. But if your decisions are based on facts rather that thoughts or opinions and you prioritize according to importance or urgency, you have a much better chance of getting it right. Think inclusive, by not leaving anything out that relates to each particular situation.
* Start by writing down what you need to accomplish.
Here’s a page from my life. It’s 10am on Tuesday in
California and I have a proposal to complete by the end
of today for a client. I need to discuss compatibility
issues and products with the Sound Engineer working at
the studio and verify pricing and availability with
manufacturers. Proposal needs to be itemized and within
budget. If client accepts, the installation is Friday.
* Now prioritize your list.
Think about what information you need to proceed and
consider the amount of time it takes to complete.
1 Call Engineer, confirm items on the proposal are correct
2 Double check versions of software for compatibility
3 Call East coast manufacturers first, for pricing and availability. Check the order processing and shipping times. Make sure you know exactly what needs to happen so equipment arrives on Thursday. Keep notes
4 Call West coast manufacturers, follow same procedures
5 Consolidate information, start proposal
6 Overnight shipping and installation are separate line items
7 Double check your numbers, make sure totals are correct
8 Email proposal to client
9 Call to make sure they received the email
10 Ask for decision.
This example works in any type of business or personal situation. The more things you think about before you start the project, the more effective you are with your time and money. Say you need to paint the den so it can be turned into your new office. Decide what you need to accomplish and what you need to buy. Start with the list and prioritize the essential items, and work it until complete. There’s no sense running in circles because you forgot something or making three phone calls when you could have completed it with one. The idea is to work smart, not hard.
Having a plan B for back up, provides for the unexpected. Think about how to handle situations in advance like “What would I do if the car broke down today?” My auto club card is current, I’ll call them when something happens. If I need a ride, I’ll call a taxi. But consider the person who doesn’t have auto club and their car breaks down and every call they make, no one answers. Now the cell phone battery goes dead and there’s no backup. That’s a bad day that only gets worst. You’re late for work and your clothes are dirty from pushing the car to the side of the road. You have no cash in your pocket and you’re walking five miles to work. Now, what are you thinking about?

Opportunities can pop up just about anywhere. You need to have people in your network who know you, your abilities, and your interests—so your name will immediately come to mind when an opportunity, lead, or interesting tidbit comes on the scene.Your network should not be limited to corporate professionals—it should include your own school, including career center and alumni association staff, professors, and others who work in departments or offices in your area of interest (like finance, marketing, public relations, fundraising, etc.).They may not have ideas or contacts for you immediately, but if our company were to call your school looking for a student or recent graduate to interview for an upcoming issue of our Do

Money can now be made by sharing one’s opinion. Is this a joke? No it is for real. This is because blogs are one of the things people love to look at these days when surfing in the web.It is not that hard to make a blog. A user can download a template and put the content there or make one up using wizard.The trick to making money is being able to find a niche market. This means finding something relevant to talk about that people can relate to that can be done through research.When the blog site is ready, it is time to do one pre-flight check to make sure all the systems are working. It is such a huge turnoff when it is not user friendly enough to the public.The only way to get people to see the blog is t

Are you interested in trading futures? If you are, you may also be interested in using the services of a futures trading broker, as they provide you with the knowledge and assistance needed to be a successful futures trader. The good news is that you have a number of different futures brokers to choose from. The bad news is that you have so many brokers to choose from that you may have a difficult time making a decision.The first step in choosing a futures broker is to actually find one or a number of them. If you are looking for a local futures broker, you can use your local phone book. For a larger number of futures brokers, you may want to think about using the internet, particularly online business directories or standard

Put right/good on one side and wrong/bad on the other. All the negative factors go on one side and the positive attributes on the other. When we keep things locked up inside our head, they get stuck. Visualize your thoughts in writing so the issues become clear and you can make logical decisions. When you can’t think of anything else, put the list aside and come back to it later. Sleep on it and review in the morning. It’s amazing how the subconscious works during the night when we’re asleep and our body is regenerating. We can see more clearly in the morning, when our brain is fresh and our thoughts are lucid. After deciding what the answer is, write it down. Then verbalize what you need to do. Talk it over with someone close to you that has your best interest at heart and is not involved with the outcome of your decision.
We're all responsible for the success or consequences that our choices cause. Making good judgments as to who and what to believe takes clarity and common sense. We can’t make good decisions if we don’t know the facts.
When in doubt use the five.
Who does your decision affect?
What needs to be accomplished?
Where are your priorities?
When does this need to be completed?
How effective are you?
Peace of Mind follows when our decision-making skills are accurate and we don’t have to spend triple the time later, correcting issues or solving difficulties. The key to making comprehensive decisions is thinking about our choices along with the side effects, making sure our information is reliable and prioritizing our time so we can get it right the first time.
