Will You Add? - Look Back, Look Forward and Learn
Some of you may be too kind to say it. But I can tell you’re thinking, “I don’t know what you know about life, but I think you’ve learned a bit too much about Betty Crocker.”Yes, I’ve learned a great deal about Betty Crocker over the past forty-some years.

Today’s business environment isn’t getting any easier, nor will it get easier anytime in the future. I’m not psychic but I have learned that business NEVER gets simpler. More competition, shrinking profit margins, increases in fixed and operating costs are just a few of the issues we deal with everyday. You can lament this fact or, you can take proactive measures to bullet-proof your business. Here are few strategies that can help:Clearly define your business. The most s
There was a time, not that long ago that a trip across the United States. would take a couple of days by train. While this was much faster than previously available transportation, it is still quite leisurely compared to the 4-5 hour flight that we can now take.
In those seemingly slower times we surmise that we would have had time to stop and think. Today we argue our time is limited and too valuable to stop and just think. There is too much to do. It is precisely because of all of the tasks, stimulus and diversions that it is important that we stop.
Just stop and think.
Maybe you can’t or don’t want to do this every day. Even so, there are a variety of times in our professional and personal lives when we will especially benefit from looking at the past to help us prepare to be more successful in the future.
When?
As leaders and professionals, the times might include:
• At the end of a project
• Before the start of a new project
• After a team or organizational milestone has been reached

Bar code labels are tags that contain encoded information. They are used to identify and list inventories in businesses that use a large number of goods. They are made of paper, vinyl, plastic or metal and have an adhesive surface underneath by which they can be affixed to the surface of the item.Bar code labels use two primary techniques to encode the numerical information on it. One is the line bars technique. Special bar code software can convert an inputted number int

Today I am joined by Phil Gerbyshak of Make It Great!, one of the web’s premier personal development bloggers.Benjamin: How did you get started in the field of Self Improvement?Phil: About 5 years ago, I decided I wasn’t happy with the path I was on, so I decided to pick up a few good books to try to get motivated and change my life.

"Bodacious" means to be bold, outstanding, and remarkable. Take those attributes to work and you're on your way to building a fulfilling, bodacious career. Does having a bodacious career sound exciting to you? It is! After starting as an $8 an hour customer service rep, I rose through the ranks of AOL, accepting four promotions and surviving over six layoffs to become the head of corporate training for 12,000 employees. Along the way I learned I needed to be bodacious to ac

Deciding to sell your business can be one of the biggest decisions in your life, whatever the reasons are for the sale. It is impossible not to become emotionally attached to your own business.

All of these are excellent times to count our lessons, capitalize on our experience and gauge our wisdom. In other words – these are times to capture what we have learned so that we can capitalize on that learning as we move into our future.
How?
Take the time to both look back and look forward from your current situation. One of the best ways to do that is with questions.
Before beginning, find a quiet comfortable place to sit down with a pad of paper or your journal. This is not a task best suited for typing at your computer. There is something about physically writing your responses to these questions that is valuable.
Remember that what you write is for your eyes only – which means it may have doodles, drawings, arrows, phrases, and incomplete sentences – whatever. This is not meant to be literature; rather it is a place and a process for you to capture your thoughts so that you can use those insights.
Here then are 12 questions that you can use to help you with this important task.
• What is the most valuable thing I learned?
• Who did I learn the most from?
• What was the most fun?
• What did I accomplish?
• What would I have done differently (or would I do differently, knowing what I know now
