Will You Add? - Growing the Seeds of Your Business
Strong brands prompt strong brain reactions. Radiologists are proving what marketers have been preaching for decades.Dr. Christine Born, a radiologist at the Ludwig-Maximillians University in Munich conducted a series of MRIs exposing 20 adults (upscale for income and education) to logos of strong and weak German brands. The results, reported in the Wall Street Journal, were that bigger brands make bigger brain waves. This comes on top of previous data indicating that shopping can alter blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rates.Apparently well-known brands fire synapses associated with positive emotions, self-identification and rewards. Weak brands either don’t register or provoke activity in parts of the brain associated with negative emotion.The surprising conclusion was that

For many of us, the word quality is closely related to our expectations. When we receive the public relations results we planned for, we feel, understandably, that we have generated quality results.Another interpretation says quality PR may simply be in the eye of the beholder. But yet another take holds that quality public relations occurs when business, non-profit or association managers use public relations to alter individual perception among their target publics, which leads to changed behaviors, thus helping achieve their managerial objectives.I like that interpretation because, logically in my view, those managers employ their public relations resources to do something positive about the behaviors of those important external audiences of theirs that MOST affect
It goes beyond the daydream of success and deep into what that business will look like. How you as the owner visualize it. Am I talking about using visualization? Well certainly that can't hurt and can even help you in manifesting what you want. But more importantly I am talking about having a clear vision, written down of where you want to go. Your vision statement becomes your road map. It guides you on your journey. A clear vision helps you to make good decisions for your business. Often there are tempting distractions that get us off course. We decide to add a new product line or create a new service, and down the road we find that it doesn't feel like the right fit. When we look back at our vision, there it is clear as day. The new service or product wasn't a part of the vision. That's why it didn't fit or wasn't successful. It didn’t fit into the company mission, vision and values.
Sure, we want to be creating new services, new products, new opportunities for business growth, but we want to stay on our path. If the new service takes us too far off the path then it might not be the right choice and as the owner it's your role to evaluate that.
Do you have a compelling vision? When you write a compelling vision statement it inspires and motivates. It has the detail you need to move forward.
Business owners that have been working with me will tell you that I keep coming back to this with them and in my own business. What is the vision? What does the company look like? What are the services, the clients, the products? What growth has the company experienced? What does it feel like, sound like? Writing a detailed vision that includes all of the emotion helps you to develop a clearer plan. I recommend writing your vision statement in as much detail as possible. Write it in the present tense, as if it is happening now. Include the details of who, what, where, when, how... And the emotional details – the feelings you have living that vision, the feelings of the clients/customers/staff, what it looks like, sounds like, and smells like.
For example: “My practice is booming, new clients appear each week, easily and effortlessly. My clients love the service that they receive and they tell their friends and family. During each session with a client, I feel totally present and connected to them and their needs. I am able to easily provide the exact service they need that day....”
Once you've created a written vision story, next make a picture. The picture doesn’t have to be that of an artist, just one that represents where you are headed. Hang it on your wall where you can see it. Read your vision regularly, every day if you can. This keeps you inspired and excited about the business that you are building. If you vision story doesn’t inspire you then you need to rethink it, rewrite it. Your vision of your business and life should make you feel great!
Share the vision story and picture with your staff, your colleagues. Letting people know what the vision is gives them the opportunity to help you achieve the vision. Visions don’t just happen because your vision them or visualize them, write them or draw them. They happen because you take action. Reading your vision each day keeps you inspired and on track for taking the inspired actions that must happen to realize the vision. Develop strategies based on your vision to move that vision forward. The vision is the seed that you have planted. Now you have to grow the garden. The strategies become the tools that help you grow the garden and get you to your destination.

Yarns and Fibers have been a great discovery for humanity since their first known usage around 1000 years back. Various fibers like the coir from the coconut, cotton, jute have all helped in creating such wonderful things which we have today. Further utilization of these raw natural fibers have resulted in the formation of yarns which is still is the basic ground for all our apparel and clothing industry. In short the entire textile industry is absolutely dependant on these yarns right from the home textile industry to technical textile industry for the interlining work in all the articles and accessories. Natural fibers are still in great demand though man-made fibers are taking the lead in the textile industry.Scientists and researchers are continually in the look out for better and natural fibers

Quality public relations does something positive for business, non-profit and association managers about the behaviors of the key external “publics” that most affect their operations. In other words, it alters individual perception that leads to changed behaviors among their really important outside audiences.In so doing, PR helps persuade those key external audiences to the managers’ way of thinking, helping move them to take actions that allow for managerial success.The alternative to quality PR suggests this question for managers: are you simply looking for publicity, or do you want public relations that really CAN change in- dividual perception and lead to equally changed stakeholder behaviors that help you get your money’s worth?If that’s the high ground you

Staying focused on goals and the things you desire is one of the greatest challenges many of us face. Perhaps you set a goal or a desire this year but in the day to day of our busy lives we lost track of it and as a result we end up abandoning it until next year. Keeping ourselves accountable can be accomplished in a few ways. Here are our 11 tips for creating a focused and fun approach to success:
1. Take the goal and break into smaller steps and review it each week , even giving yourself a score.
2. Make a chart, to chart progress, each step of the way
3. Hang signs around the house, in the car, at work --- saying: "Stay Focused".
4. Tell family and friends about the goal and intention
5. Create your own mastermind group to help you stay on track and support your ups and downs
6. Partner with a friend or colleague to be an "accountability buddy", share your plan with them and talk once a week to let them know how you are doing
7. Hire a coach to help you identify your goals and keep them on track all year towards extraordinary success.
8. Create celebrations of success, reward yourself -- gold stars, dinner out, a new something!
9. Meditate each day on focused goal attainment
10. Write your vision and goals down and read them everyday
11. Have fun with each success and acknowledge it!
To move yourself into the success you desire spend some time now, creating your vision and focused plan for success. Building the business that you want is possible. With a focused vision, strategic plan and implementation plan you can achieve what you set out to.
