If you were to look at the main key factor of your business and its success, what would it be? Of course, you as the business owner would be one factor, but does the success of a great business depend on the owner of the business? Today, there is so much competition within business that there is more to success within business than the individual running the business. It also depends on the networking of the business, which is a product of the operation of the business. For a business to be highly competitive and to build great business, networking is essential. Networking is the primary foundation of establishing and maintaining a great business. It provides connections to potential customers and business opportunities to a higher extent than any other business factor can offer.

Social networking is one of the great advantages of business networking opportunities today, and it is essential in building the foundation of a great business. However, many business people feel as if social networking is a challenge and that it can amount to a workload of a second business. This is because social networking requires you to be constantly in touch and connected with customers and potential customers every day to promote and build your business, whilst also providing the service of your business at the same time. This can be draining for businesses, especially small businesses who cannot afford to hire a separate employee to be in charge of social networking or networking in general. Although it is a draining and time consuming task, it is crucial for building great business as without social networking, business will be lost to other competitors who are keeping up with the demand for need of social networking. Therefore, it is essential for a business to incorporate social networking, involving media sources such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube, into their workload and to devise a networking business plan as networking is the backbone of business and is an essential foundation of great business.   

Despite women’s numerous responsibilities outside of and inside of business, they must get better at networking to create great business as networking is the core foundation of any great business. This can be done by allocating more time within work time to set up and provide networking opportunities, such as by creating business accounts with Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube, plus networking with other business people in the community who can help with providing a more streamlined service for the business, and by getting more involved by networking with current customers who can provide recommendations to their own network of people to build great business opportunities.

As you can see, networking is the core foundation of building a great business and is essential for growth and development. Without networking, business is lost to other similar business competitors. Therefore, it needs to be sustained at all times and great effort has to go in to it as you build a solid foundation for great business. ~De Harris

Steps to Defeating the Time Thief... Procrastination

Let's face it life is just plain demanding. It doesn't matter where you turn there is always another task or responsibility that you have to get done yesterday. With all that is placed upon us it is any wonder that we get anything finished at all! Then add on the dreaded habit of procrastination then you are really in trouble. According to various estimates, societal procrastination has risen five-fold to affect from about 5 percent of the population in the 1970’s to about 15 percent to 20 percent of people today. Now at least 95 percent of people say they procrastinate occasionally. If this is one merry-go-round that is causing strife in your life then read on to learn how you may be able to move beyond procrastination into a life where achieving your goals becomes stress-free.  Yes, it takes a bit of time and effort but isn’t anything worth having worth working for?
 
Probably the biggest key to overcoming procrastination is awareness. When we become aware, we are not only able to focus on our goals but also, understand the difference between where we are now and where we want to be. This is the reason why awareness is crucial in overcoming procrastination.  Once we are aware (unless you decide to ignore the issue altogether) you automatically place yourself in the best position possible to create change due to use of ‘focused attention’.  Completing the tasks brought before you without interruption places you well on your way to creating change within your life. Delaying the inevitable can negatively affect all aspects of your life but by becoming ‘aware’ of the issue we are shining a light that will help in combating procrastination.
 
Another great way to help you move beyond procrastination is action. Yes, action. Sometimes we can get so caught up in the details that we fail to put any motion behind our thoughts or desires. We may even have the desire but look toward perfection as the ultimate goal rather than the goal itself.  Being perfect all the time can keep you from actually starting/finishing tasks or meeting the deadlines that can mean the difference between success and failure. Sometimes we just have to let the craziness go and just get it done. This can be easier said than done, so if this is still an issue for you, then maybe consider seeking out help.
 
It is easy become distracted especially when it is a task or deadline we are feeling anxious about. One of the best ways to overcome this is to look beyond our feelings and simply ask for help. If you find that procrastination has become an overpowering force in your life then you would be wise to search for an ally or mental health professional near you. Enlisting the help of a close friend as an accountability partner can be a tremendous help. Make sure this person is a trusted associate since you may run into some very sensitive areas during your growth. Be sure you have places yourself in the best position for success and that the person you've chosen is positive and has your best interest at heart.
 
Remember, there is always room for improvement in one’s life. The best way you can help yourself is with an honest assessment of where you are compared to where you want to be. This can be a challenge for some and so let's say for some reason you really don't know where you stand. Then might I suggest you take a moment to attend our upcoming webinar 'Procrastination: Facing a Thief Head-On’ with WOW’s very own, Kimyon Zari, theDiamondCoach.com.  Within this no pressure webinar you will be able to clearly identify currently held values and beliefs that may be holding you back plus key steps to help you stop procrastinating NOW. Kimyon speaks candidly about This is simply a great way to grow into the success you are meant to have.  Through awareness, action and assistance you too can move beyond all that is holding you back, especially if it is called 'procrastination'. Keep us posted on your progress and we'll see you on the 17th!
