We’re doing great just like we are.”It’s not unusual for a small business owner to have the following questions:• Why do I need to have a strategic plan? Can’t I just tell everyone what our goals will be?• How do I get started?• Can I facilitate the planning sessions, or do I need to hire a professional facilitator?• Will this be like other plans which, after spending time and money, just sat on a shelf?If you’ve determined that you are indeed ready to begin a strategic planning process there are several steps to pave the way and ensure the plan gets executed.Step One: Get Ready< (4) Be concise. Don't waste words. Confusion grows in direct proportion to the number of words used. Speak plainly and briefly, using the shortest, most familiar words. (5) Be real. Each of us Create Your Own Mailorder Products Here are six techniques you can use to help you say things simply but persuasively, and even forcefully:Most mailorder writers will also tell you to try to acquire exclusive rights to your product. And most writers will agree that a dealer has a better chance of succeeding in the mailorder business if he has created the product himself. All of this is certainly good advice. The trouble with it is that it does not go far enough. It does not tell you HOW to create a product that is exclusively your own. In what follows, I would like to show you a step-by-step method to create your own mailorder product.I would also say that first and foremost, the first step on the the road to mailorder success is not the “selection of the product.” That may sound like a very strange statement, but there are three things you must do if you want to be successful before you ev (1) Get your thinking straight. The most common source of confusing messages is muddled thinking. We have an idea we haven't thought through. Or we have so much we want to say that we can't possibly say it. Or we have an opinion that is so strong we can't keep it in. As a result, we are ill prepared when we speak, and we confuse everyone. The first rule of plain talk, then, is to think before you say anything. Organize your thoughts. (2) Say what you mean. Say exactly what you mean. (3) Get to the point. Effective communicators don't beat around the bush. If you want someone to buy something, ask for the order. If you want someone to do something, say exactly what you want done. (4) Be concise.

Or we have an opinion that is so strong we can't keep it in. As a result, we are ill prepared when we speak, and we confuse everyone. The first rule of plain talk, then, is to think before you say anything. Organize your thoughts.Do you know that you get 80% of your results from just 20% of your time and effort and consequently 80% of your time is virtually wasted on non productive activities?. Once you realize this it is easy to take advantage and either reduce the hours you work or significantly improve your productivity.The 80-20 rule was first discovered by Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto a hundred years ago. Using this knowledge is incredibly powerful in combating the "not enough hours in the day" mentality of today's society.The 80-20 rule means that in any area of our lives, literally 80 percent of our fruits are derived from only 20 percent of doing "what matters". In other words, there is only a very small portion of all that we do each day, regardless of the situat (2) Say what you mean. Say exactly what you mean. (3) Get to the point.

Each of us 10 Common Reasons Why Medical Claims were being Denied and your Action Plan
(1) Incorrect patient’s information (insurance ID# , date of birth) If you are submitting electronic claims, AVOID entering patient’s insurance number with characters like an asterisk (*) and dash (-) in between the alphanumeric numbers because these characters can be recognize by electronic as unrecognizable. Just check on this issue with the clearinghouse or your service provider. Always make a copy of your patient's primary & secondary insurance card on file (copy front and back!). Make sure to get a copy of their new card (if there is a change). (2) Patient’s non-coverage or terminated coverage at the time of service may also be the reason of denialared when we speak, and we confuse everyone.

If you want someone to buy something, ask for the order. If you want someone to do something, say exactly what you want done.There are some buyers out there who understand value but there are many of them who understand only price. A few years ago when I was doing a course for my Certified Management Consultant accreditation, I had some debates with one of the instructors. He kept saying that my idea about value was a delusion, and the reality of consulting was the number of hours I spent working with the client. His idea was that clients must be able to derive huge value from my services, but I could only get paid for the number of hours I actually worked because of the obscure nature of "value".I may be wrong, and unlike him, I don't have an MBA, but I believe if the client derives huge value from my help, a deserve more than a competitive(ly low) hourly rate.

Each of us And the Greatest of These is Love “We love our customers.”“We love our employees.”“We love the boss.”“We love your problems.”It seems that American business loves everyone and everything. Perhaps it is the fact that most of today’s business leaders were born or grew up in the 1960’s and 1970’s, the decade of love. But more likely it is a semantic error, or a marketer’s ploy.The problem comes from the fact that in English we have only one word for many meanings “love.” In ancient Greece there were five words to describe the various forms of love that we attempt to communicate in business today. Each of these types of “love” have their correlation in English and in American business.But why is this distinction important?Love is one of those wellsprin (4) Be concise. Don't waste words. Confusion grows in direct proportion to the number of words used. Speak plainly and briefly, using the shortest, most familiar words. (5) Be real. Each of us has a personality -- a blending of traits, thought patterns and mannerisms -- which can aid us in communicating clearly. For maximum clarity, be natural, and let the real you come through. You'll be more convincing and much more comfortable. (6) Speak in images. The clich? that "a picture is worth a thousand words" isn't exactly true (try explaining the Internal Revenue code using nothing but pictures). But words that help people visualize concepts can be tremendous aids in communicating a message.
