   4th Quarter Contiuum for Business & Life Effectiveness

How is all going in your 4th quarter?  Are you happy w/career/business?  Life in general?  Are you achieving and feeling what you have wanted?
 
If wanting to enhance 4th quarter, the next year, and move faster towards yours goals, here are some thoughts and actions to help you achieve all you would like:

Take inventory daily on your business/life effectiveness.

Be proactive in what you are intentionally trying to create for your fourth quarter and following year.  

We are all free agents in the marketplace.  This statement helps simplify things and negate excuses.  We are all responsible for our outcomes.

Intentional outcomes are achieved and enhanced by increasing  personal awareness.

Developing your awareness helps further determine your uniqueness, distinctive strengths and  qualities,  (what you bring to the table) – and these are your branding points.

 Your branding points and articulation of these, aid in the creation of enhancing and formulating your vision/mission for career/business and life.

The articulation of your distinctions and where you are headed  is powerful and creates clarity for you and hence, others.

Clarity is a qualitative, evolutionary process.

Clarity is your power foundation and without it, as without any foundation, you are unable to thrive as you were meant to.

 We are all marketing ourselves in everything we do in business and life, thus, doesn’t it make sense to be crystal clear on what we are talking about?

 Become clear, move forward & ACHIEVE!
 
Warm Regards,
 Marie

    Do you know?

    That social media represents offense and defense? Companies that have not been represented have learned the painful way that no representation hurt their brand, as well as their bottom line. Social media is free; use the appropriate tools that represent your target audience.

    What is your social media strategy? Does this strategy include a blog and relationship marketing? Increasing your knowledge, capturing your knowledge, and reading other blogs help you write your blogs. Creating your blogs actually helps you in your brand clarification and creates a relationship with your audience.

    LinkedIn is dynamic and aggressive….make it work for you! There are strategies; this is not a passive medium. Recruiters, Business Professionals and Consumers do searches on LinkedIn. Is your company listed on this special place on LinkedIn? You can do these searches too! What brand is your LinkedIn profile selling? What is your TOMA rating in LinkedIn? Do you know how to increase it?

    Social media is a networking tool. By adding one contact per day, you have increased your network by 365 at year end. Networking is connecting and forming relationships. Networking is fun because you meet great people in person or virtually, learn from each other, support each other, and enjoy each other. What are you waiting for? Create relationships!
