5 Tips to Help You Meet Goals and Deadlines

Since high school (or earlier), many of us have struggled with meeting deadlines. Poor time management skills and procrastination often lead to last minute cram sessions which produce substandard work. At work, failing to meet deadlines is one of the cardinal sins that can easily get you fired. An employee who fails to be punctual and achieve deadlines is no more than a broken cog in a machine, and will be quickly replaced. How can professional procrastinators learn effective time management in order to successfully meet deadlines?

Breaking One Task Down Into Bite-Size Pieces
The lesson many of us never learn is that one large task can always be more easily accomplished in bite-size pieces over a long period of time. If you are given a project to complete in the next two weeks, the right time to get started is that very day. When you first receive a project, you should take out a calendar and find a way to break it into four or more evenly spaced parts. Don’t just mark the final deadline date. Give yourself mini-deadline dates per segment and meet them, whatever the cost. Failing to meet one of your own mini-deadlines should be regarded as a failure to meet the final deadline.

Rewarding Yourself
Some people, however, lack the self-discipline necessary to break one large task into several small ones. These people won’t worry if they miss one of their own deadlines, procrastinating and pushing it back to the second, third and final deadlines. They will only panic as the last deadline approaches.

A simple way to reinforce meeting your own mini-deadlines is to reward yourself. If you completed the first phase of the project ahead of time, reward yourself with a night out, a nice dinner or a gift for yourself. If necessary, pencil these in under each mini-deadline. A variation of this would be to abstain from an addiction – such as, beer or cigarettes, working and at same time chatting or engaging in online affairs– until the mini-deadline is met, with no exceptions.
If you truly lack the self-discipline necessary to pull this off, you’ll need a partner – kind of like an Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor – who oversees your day-to-day activities to make sure you never veer off course.

Plan Ahead
Meeting deadlines is a lot like playing a good game of Chess. Good chess players plan five to ten moves ahead. Bad chess players only concentrate on the current move. If you always focus on events several days down the road, you’ll be better equipped to handle any potential crises that pop up. It also allows you to set aside a day or two before the final deadline to polish your project and add finishing touches. Don’t just focus on today – focus on the whole week.

Get Organized – Technology is your Friend
This is the number one reason people fail to meet deadlines. They simply aren’t organized. In this age of smart-phones, tablets and cloud computing, there’s simply no excuse to be disorganized. Simply entering events in your Google Calendar will sync it across all your mobile devices so you can keep aware of all current deadlines. Cloud-based calendars and documents can also be shared and edited by collaborators, which makes working with a team a breeze.

File documents neatly in your computer or cloud-based storage. People often waste time finding digital bits and pieces of their projects when they aren’t organized, using “search” to desperately find the document they “swear was saved to the desktop”. Good self-discipline is reflected in good organizational skills.

Be Able to Meet Short Notice Deadlines
Last, but not least, always be ready to meet short-notice deadlines. These occur at every workplace, upsetting employees and managers alike. If you were able to manage your time effectively, as shown in this guide, meeting a sudden short-notice deadline should be a breeze. Smoothly and coolly meeting a last minute deadline makes you look great – especially when your procrastinating co-workers are tearing their hair out.

9 Options for Small Town Entrepreneurs

Living in a town with a small population presents a unique challenge to entrepreneurs. A narrow local market means the margin for error is greater than in centers of higher population. But a small town presents a great opportunity to form strong bonds with customers. The trick is to find out what business is suitable for the town.

3 Options for Acquiring a Business

Start a Brand New Business
Open a store or agency that has not existed in the town. There may be hurdles, such as educating residents as to how your company will enhance their lives, but if it is a “first”, there will probably be interest in your company.

Take Over an Existing Business
It may be the right time for a business owner to get out, which presents an opportunity to continue the business. The advantage of buying an existing presence is a shorter customer acquisition period. Residents are familiar with and comfortable with the company.

Introduce a Franchise
This option may meet resistance from residents who see a franchise as the death of a small town; however, a franchise presents a familiar image that can attract local patrons. One of the biggest hurdles for the franchisee is the upfront cost.

Prior to determining whether a new business is appropriate, there are several avenues to investigate in order to find a need that exists. Business brokers recommend that entrepreneurs do some research before introducing a new business to a small market. Research can be done by simply asking residents what kind of business they would like to see open locally. Examining other towns that are similar within the state is helpful in order to find out what has worked elsewhere. Another research technique would be to look at companies that operate in multiple small markets to see if that type of business would work in your town.

Identify Areas to Satisfy Market Need

Serving the Local Market
What opportunities exist to serve the local market? Are there products or services that are lacking a local business presence? There may be an opportunity to sell locally made products or global products that show a demand from townspeople.

Complementing Area Businesses
Are there offerings that would go along with existing businesses? For example, if a town has a significant number of farms, there may be a need for a store that sells produce, storage equipment or farm machinery. Or there may be a need for a reliable equipment repair operation.

Selling Local Products Elsewhere
If a local business provides desirable products, consider selling those products to larger markets.

Market to Tourists
towns that lie on travel corridors or are destination spots themselves provide opportunities to sell local products, such as town-related novelties or local specialties. If the town is a destination point, there may be a need for tour guides or taxi services.

Serve the Local Government
municipal governments have needs from janitorial services to computer repair to office supplies. Investigate the needs of the local government to determine if something is lacking or services are being delivered poorly.

Provide Expertise to Existing Businesses
Business owners often need assistance with accounting, taxes, facility cleaning and other services. Look for a common need and become the local expert. There will be opportunity as long as there are businesses that are operating.

Once the research into existing needs and opportunities is completed, strategy and planning are essential to ensuring that the grand opening is not followed by the resounding thud of an empty store. Finally, as with any business, money management is critical to making sure operations will continue if hard times hit the small town.

Compliment of the Season!

Emotional Intelligence and its Impact on Leadership

Defined as the skills or ability necessary to identify, assess and control the emotions of oneself, other people or entire groups, emotional intelligence is a concept that has become widely popular in management texts and related literature for its ability to enhance and capitalize on the human potential of an organization.

Seeking to support a leader’s cognitive, emotional and physical resources, the use of emotional intelligence is a modern tool of effective management, enabling the individual to manage a wide range of employees that are often performing in a unique set of roles. In addition, emotional and personal competencies are two primary factors that are shown to be directly linked to performance within a work environment, making their identification and analysis essential for effective management as well as the increased development of the organization’s human capital.

It Pays to be ‘Likeable’

In part, emotional intelligence is a response to the problems businesses face in the modern world. With tighter budgets, escalating costs and the continuous demand to produce more for less, there’s a need to develop a higher standard for leadership skills, ones that will effectively address the challenges of high employee turnover, a rapidly changing business environment and the ever-increasing demand for improved products and services. And at least in part, the solution to these problems is found in a leader who possesses technical knowledge as well as the social and emotional abilities that will enable them to meet and beat the afore-mentioned challenges and maximize the human potential of their organization while achieving their own personal agenda.

Any organization at the forefront of its industry needs to retain the best employees to remain competitive. And if you take a look at the factors that contribute to the highest levels of creativity and effectiveness in the workplace within these types of businesses, you’ll find components of emotional intelligence 9 out of 10 times.

That’s because duration of employment is directly linked to an individual’s relationship with their immediate supervisor, with some figures reporting that only 11 percent of employees who rated their boss as ‘excellent’ would consider looking for a new job. This figure is in comparison to the 40 percent who would consider leaving after rating their boss ‘poor’.
Moving Up Requires More Than Just Technical Capability

Your skills can land you a great job but emotional intelligence is what enables you to keep it and, more importantly, get promoted and motivate those around you. In fact, some psychologists believe that emotional intelligence matters twice as much as both technical and analytic skills combined. And the higher the individual moves up within an organization, the more crucial emotional intelligence becomes – not really a surprise given the high degree of loyalty required to inspire people toward achieving an expansive, complex or long-term goal.

To climb the modern corporate ladder, a leader must be competent within their chosen field but also have a finely-tuned sense of emotional intelligence. Specifically, they are typically expected to be more positive, approachable, warm, empathetic and optimistic, traits many believe to be more important than traditional cognitive intelligence in the successful achievement of workplace goals. The reason for this may be due to the fact that a focus on emotional intelligence often includes the ability to contain any negative feelings and focus instead on a positive outcome – a capability that is vital for high-reaching leaders and executives.

Tips for Maximizing Employee Potential

As a manager, maximizing employee potential should be one of your top priorities. Disgruntled, idle workers who do the bare minimum are dead weight for your company. Each employee you hire should be considered an investment in the company. Being able to push your employees to the maximum potential (without breaking them, of course) will enhance your entire company’s productivity and efficiency. Here are some ideas to help your workers be the best that they can be – and not hate you in the process.

Hire the Right People

First and foremost, recruit the right people! This seems simple and silly, but more often than not employers choose the safe choice – the middle of the pack applicant that won’t stir up trouble. Applicants who are too opinionated or have “too much personality” are often nixed from the list of potential hires due to their unpredictability. This would be a huge mistake – often these individuals possess leadership characteristics which would enhance your workforce.

Identify Existing Skills and Areas for Potential
From your workforce, you should assess individual potential. Maybe your data entry grunt actually has skills in other areas, such as product design or technical writing. Get to know your employees, their past experiences and their interests. Often times, an unhappy employee is simply a bored one, stuck in an unchallenging and unfulfilling post. Maybe a certain employee doesn’t have outside skills, but has such a mastery of their job that they can be given the responsibility of training new hires. Or maybe they have outside skills that can be pursued in their free time – for example, search giant Google used to require that its programmers set aside 20% of their time on personal pet projects, in an effort to foster creativity. You can even rotate employees between positions to insure that everyone understands the different jobs at your company, so they can substitute each others’ jobs, if need be.

Understand if your employees are natural leaders, followers or innovators. If there are a few cogs that are getting stuck, such as irreparably disgruntled employees, these toxic employees will have to be removed from the equation to insure smooth operations.

Three Ways to Give Back to Your Community at Holiday Time

With Thanksgiving around the corner, many businesses have their holiday marketing plans in motion.

Marketing around the holidays goes beyond sales and promotions. It's also about connecting with customers on things they can feel good about. Today's social consumers pay attention to companies that do good. They want to align themselves with brands that are doing good deeds, who share their values. Getting behind a local or national charity holds a host of benefits for a company. Here are just a few:

Shows you're more than a business owner, you're also a human being
Rallies customers and the public around shared passions
Makes valuable and lasting community connections
Builds trust and customer loyalty
Becomes part of your brand identity
Shows that you're a good corporate citizen

Cause-based marketing and community-based marketing can be done on a very small scale. Even in a tough economy, businesses can still find modest yet meaningful ways to connect to worthy causes.

Three Ways to Give Back to Your Community at Holiday TimeWith Thanksgiving around the corner, many businesses have their holiday marketing plans in motion. Holiday campaigns will start buzzing before the kids even finish off their Halloween candy.

Marketing around the holidays goes beyond sales and promotions. It's also about connecting with customers on things they can feel good about. Today's social consumers pay attention to companies that do good. They want to align themselves with brands that are doing good deeds, who share their values. Getting behind a local or national charity holds a host of benefits for a company. Here are just a few:

Shows you're more than a business owner, you're also a human being
Rallies customers and the public around shared passions
Makes valuable and lasting community connections
Builds trust and customer loyalty
Becomes part of your brand identity
Shows that you're a good corporate citizen

Cause-based marketing and community-based marketing can be done on a very small scale. Even in a tough economy, businesses can still find modest yet meaningful ways to connect to worthy causes.

Related: Does Your Business Give Out the Good Halloween Candy?

Here are three ways to get involved and give back, at holiday time and year-round.

1. Sponsor a community organization.
Communities and organizations across Africa/Nigeria are suffering from budget cuts. Embrace the community where you do business by finding and supporting a worthy cause. For example, if you live in a family-oriented community, you might sponsor an underfunded sports, arts, music, or after-school program. Maybe your community has an animal shelter, soup kitchen, library, or other nonprofit organization that needs help. You can find an opportunity, and for very few naira, contribute to a program that could use a boost.

Once you've chosen the charity you'd like to support, connect it to your business or your personal passion. Use your email and social-media marketing to share their story. Explain why you're getting involved, and encourage your customers to support the organization, too. Connecting to the challenges of your community shows that you're alert to what's going on around you beyond the daily grind of running your business.

2. Hold a fundraising event with other businesses.
You don't always have to go it alone. Band together with other related businesses vendors, and colleagues to raise funds for a local charity or cause. You'll all share the burden -- and the benefits, too. You'll give some great exposure to the organization you're helping, as well as your business and the others who lend a hand.

Publicize the event through all of the co-sponsors' email newsletters, Facebook Pages, Twitter and via Linkedin. Co-sponsoring a fundraiser, volunteer day, collections drive, or other charitable event is great way for people in your community to meet you and your business colleagues. And you'll be helping a cause that's close to your business address, and your heart.

3. Donate a portion of sales to a charity.
Donating a dollar amount or a portion of sales proceeds is another way to support a good cause. If possible, choose a charity that's strategically connected to your business. For example, a pet groomer could support a humane society or a restaurant could support a food pantry. Or maybe there's a charity connected to something that's touched your life or one of your employees. Ask customers to help you select a charity to support through a web-based poll, survey or Facebook's Question feature.

Need help identifying charities? Charity Navigator lists and ranks charities of all kinds. Check with your accountant before adopting a charity or holding a fundraiser to find out about Internal Revenue Service requirements regarding charitable contributions for business.

Once you've chosen your charity, decide on a Naira amount or the percentage of sales proceeds that you will donate to it. Post that on your website and on social media. Customers will know that by patronizing your business, they're also supporting a good cause. Use email and social-media marketing to spread the word about what you plan to do.

The holidays are a natural time to invite customers to join you in helping others. But you can support your chosen cause in a variety of ways all year long. It doesn't have to be with money: It can be through volunteering or using your business place as a drop-off point for Toys for Tots, a food drive, whatever the cause at hand may be. You set the example first. Then your customers will follow.

Brand Perception & Decision Making

Most imaging and document product segments are extremely competitive, with multiple brands competing for “share of mind” in the battle for overall market share. In many cases the competing products and services have very similar feature sets and price points that are available through comparable channels. Brand can often be the key discriminating factor in a customer’s decision to select one product over another.

Brand is essentially the sum of all experiences related to the product, service, and companies that make and deliver the product. Brand perceptions are shaped by functional experiences (i.e. speed, quality, reliability, ease of use) as well as emotional experiences (i.e. make me feel better, improve my performance, make my life/job more gratifying or easier) the customer associates with the product and company.

Brand experiences and perceptions are developed over time through a variety of sources, including:

Previous experience with the brand
Interactions with sales, customer service, and other employees
Recommendations from friends and colleagues
Reviews by reputable sources
Advertising

Brand managers need to understand how customers perceive and select brands in specific product categories and market segments. You also need to know what is important to customers when making a brand decision, where customers get information about products and services, and what customers think about your brand.

Most vendors are working with very tight margins and cannot afford to invest in programs that do not demonstrably improve their market position. With marketing costs increasing, you need objective input to make budget decisions for your marketing activities.

Diamondstar Int'l regularly conducts extensive brand decision research on the imaging and document technology markets. We can cost-effectively provide you with objective information and insights that will help guide your important marketing decisions.

Nigeria @ 51, I have something to say!

Nigeria, the efforts of Heroes past, the labour of gems that are gone.
Nigeria, the reward to promising hearth, perseverance is the key and a stand for the course of liberation brought about Nigeria of our time today.

Nigeria, a life lost vision lost but found and brought into lime-light on October 1, 1960

Hearth Beats:
Today, what definition could one best use to describe the Nigeria we can see?

Nigeria, now den of corruption, object and center of global sodomy, dichotomy, internal wobble and Scrabble, surprisingly; we have elders, leaders in thieves in disguise of leader, so to say: "Devil in the church"!

Who is a Leader?
A leader is a person who influences a group of people towards the achievement of a goal.

If i may ask:
i. Who is playing the role of positive impact on either our: education sector, economy, morals, culture to mention but a few.
ii. Who is your role-model?
iii. What is facilitating you to do what you're doing on daily basis?
iv. Do we have a true pastor in this country today? If yes by the ones we have around, what are they impacting, preaching etc

Isn't it social clubs we have around in the name of churches? I wept!!!

I see a church that suppose to call a national prayer order on a Nation's Independence Day organizing a social rally, where youths, said to be the future of our great nation gallivanting and dressed in masquerade clothes, projecting to be rallying for Christ, when we ought to be in sobering mood, militants are on rampage, boko haram uprising, who knows what group will come-up next?

Unstable power supply, the re-branded NEPA to PHCN simply means: "Please Hold Your Candle" and in the midst of all these that calls for sobriety, and we should humble ourselves in prayer and seek God's mercy, i see a body of Christ's representative, like the disciples were at Antioch before their ways of life qualified them to be referred to as "Christian" parading a social event, identifying with the world.

Then i asked, if this is what the church have to offer, why leave the world's ways of life to be called a "Born again"? if there is nothing to differentiate the church from the world, then we've missed it.A cry for help pls!!!

Even our Pastors that when they speak, the media run after them to here and publish whatever they say, they are all mute and watching our youths migrate to nudity is dress sense, distractions everywhere, eh! We shall all give account.

After all; our youths all wants to be 9ice, 2face D'banj etc. But how many of this names can our music industry produce in 5-10 years? How many Kachi's do we have? Music, Dance, Fashion has taken over, am not against all these, but what programme do we have on air today, that promotes our culture, not borrowed ones, which one encourages medicine students, lawyers, educationists, creativity, branding and so on, none, absolutely none!!

Posterity will not only curse us if we fail to wake to the task ahead and correct the wrongs in our society but ruin all our efforts for a better tomorrow.

I believe in Nigeria, I trust in the ability and intelligence of the Heroes of our time, am confident in this present administration to deliver the dividends of democracy to Nigerians.

I just can't continue to lay emphasis base on context, rather i rest my case here.

God bless Mr. President, God bless all our leaders, God bless His Church, God bless Nigeria, that we may truly be known as: "Good people, Great Nation".

Business Opportunity (Diamondstar Int'l)

RANONA BRANDS

Ranona Limited came into stream way back in 1995, where our main stay was predominantly in the importation of Fast Moving Commodity Goods (FMCG) up till 1999, when we started with the repackaging of Blue Boat Milk, the product that latter became a house hold name.

We were second in Nigeria after Cowbell to undertake the business of dispensing milk in smaller retail sachets with the intent of solving an economic down toll on the teeming population of Nigerians who couldn’t afford the luxury of 500gm Tin powder milk.

It was this astronomical growth of overwhelming acceptability that chorus our part into the success story of a major producer of Dairy related product in the Nigeria Market.
During this period under review, we had the following product range in the dairy category.

MILK: Under the dairy category we had Blue Boat Milk, then Blue Boat Choco, there after Blue Boat Oat, and at last we had Blue Boat StrawBerry and Habib Milk.
As time evolved, our growth evolution took us further in search of a complementary brand that can tally with the dairy food on the dining table, and that was how we came about the concept of adding cereals to our line of production.

CEREALS: Under the Cereal, we had Corn Flakes, Choco Balls, Rice Flakes and Honey pops. All these we have continued to produce and supply to the Nigeria market with notable visibility, awareness and national acceptability which has Leverage our present expansion growth within the category.
By march 2010, the limit of our expansion exploded beyond the bounds of dry, powdery food, as we metamorphosed into the wet liquefied food drink.
The quest for extension of our product line has driven us far beyond the borders of Nigeria shore, seeking for quality Brands with international reputation.
It was this curiosity that led us to France in search of one of its very best within the spectrum of our established terrain – Milk derivative in the wet.
We went, we sort, and we found Candia – a premium wholesome household Brand in France.

BRANDS UNDER CANDIA and RANONA FUSION
From the Candia, Ranona stable, we have got Twist – hosting, Apple, Orange and Multifruit , altogether 3 variants. Natures Fresh - hosting Apple, Orange, Coconut Pineapple, Pineapple, Black Current and Multifruit, altogether 5 variant. Under Candy’up, we have Chocolate and StrawBerry Milk. Altogether 2 variants. Smoozy –host 2 variants, Strawberry and plain Youghurt . Yojus – has Pineapple, Apple, Orange, Strawberry and Black Current, altogether 6 variants. And Candy’up Chocolate.

UHT Milk. Candia Milk- 0% Fat Skimmed milk, Low Fat and Full cream Milk, altogether 3 Variants. One must say here that the fusion of Candia and Ranona has brought lots of economic dividend with good omen to all parties.
As a State and Nation, it has lend credence to the revenue base drive of the state through its taxation policy and by inference the nation is a beneficiary. It has also opened window of employment to an otherwise teeming population of unemployed youth. As for our target audience, it has brought to the front burner a variety of choices to choose from thereby offering us the opportunity for multiple means of business sustainability, brand visibility and by extension, every body becomes a stake holder in this business.

AWARENES S OF OUR BRANDS AT THE MARKET PLACE
Nigeria is a complex market with varied consumer disposition and patterns which are being modulated by price, quality consciousness, self esteem promotion freaks and peculiar distribution channels
Our range faces direct market competition from products and brands that compete for consumers share of voice.

If you asked me this question exactly 5 years ago, I would have said my dream job is one that will offer me the greatest benefit i.e. a multi-national (oil) company, that will assure me of goodies (holidays abroad, fast cars etc.) Fast forward >>>>> 5 years later, I would say to you, that my dream job should avail me an opportunity to develop my life and business skills.

In a future post, I would share with you how I got my dream job with Globacom. I got it at a time a lot of people thought there were no jobs, trust me on this – there is a job waiting for you, if you believe (and take appropriate action) that you are cut out to be an employee all your life. Personally, I look out for business and empowerment opportunities more than job opportunities but this is one opportunity that I want you to maximize, if you have a flare for sales and marketing.

7.
Are you allowed to use your discretion thereby growing your ability to take responsibilities and make decisions?
8.

Why BIE is a dream job opportunity?
