What happens when you realise your path is entrepreneurship rather than employment? Lindsay takes up the challenge and shares an account of her journey as it unfolds…

They say that if you keep doing what you always did, you get what you always got.

Here are four things I’m going to do differently in 2018 so that I get different results from the ones I got in 2017:

  • I’m going to target those who I think want to buy Mirror Mirror the most
  • I’m going to articulate the problem and the solution in ways that people can better relate to
  • I’m going to focus on building the relationship rather than transacting a sale
  • I’m going to relax my expectations and take each step at a time.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Image-1

A New Year is like a blank book and the pen is in your hands. It is your chance to write a beautiful story for yourself.

Make your life choices based on your own wants, beliefs, and values. Don’t live your life based on the expectations of those around you and the prescriptions you acquired in your past.

When you live a life that you cherish, everything around you holds more meaning. You are likely to be kinder, more considerate, and more understanding of others and their paths in life.

Believe in yourself, follow your passions and live your dreams! With courage, faith and great effort, you shall achieve everything you desire.

Wishing you good health, happiness and success in the coming year and always.

Happy New Year!

Having a manager but still unmanaged

leadership-management

By: Angie Falls

In my view, managers are facilitators of their team members’ success. They ensure that their team members have everything they need to be productive and successful; that they’re well trained, happy and have minimal roadblocks in their path; that they’re being groomed for the next level; that they are recognized for great performance and coached through their challenges.

It has been now 6 years that I am at an organization where I have performed in a team with 2 different managers.

Lindsay’s In Business: PART 36: Understanding things

It’s December. We can’t help ourselves look back and review the year past.

Here are a few things I’ve noticed:

  • If you can identify the question, no matter how obvious it seems, write it down. Have faith, an answer will come up.
    • I wanted to firm up my ‘target’ market – find the people who would be most susceptible to the Mirror Mirror offer. Once I knew that was what I was looking for, ‘agile’ came up: companies transiting to agile would need help to align its people.

By: Angie Falls

Just last week I went to an event which was focused on happiness. What is happiness and how can we achieve that state in life? It made me think about my own situation. My personal life and my work life. Do I have the good work-life balance? Am I not too much busy with work and neglecting my personal relationships? In the end, it is all about relationships. How to get new relationships and most of all how to maintain the relationships. I love meeting new people. Get to know them through their stories.

 Hi – there’s an update below but meantime, isn’t this fascinating!

“The real challenge in crafting strategy lies in detecting the subtle discontinuities that may undermine a business in the future. And for that, there is no technique, no program, just a sharp mind in touch with the situation.”

Henry Mintzberg

That means that planning and refining a strategy is hugely dependent on feedback from people at the coalface…

I guess after every high you get a bit of a low. And I’m trying to work out why I do feel a bit low right now.

Let me update you on the latest developments: Continue reading →

Having a fulltime job and 3 freelance assignments can be burdening. I start to doubt myself. Am I heading in the right direction? Is it correct the way I am engaged to get some fulfilling work done? Or am I just afraid to jump? Jump to the unknown. To determine whether I am on the right track I decided to pursue sessions with a psychologist.

Psychoanalysis is worth trying for personal growth on a personal and professional level.

I can’t tell you how much has been happening – and it’s all so exciting!

OK to pick up from last time, I mentioned a new trial I have coming up. It starts with interviews next week and it’s with a student project team from the University of Applied Sciences in Austria. Ping! It just happened…

Good Work isn’t enough!

Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.

~ Will Rogers ~

Much more than men, women held to the belief that doing good work – great work even – is enough to climb the corporate ladder. But the reality is, in today’s competitive work environment, being bright, hard working, and having a positive attitude aren’t enough. Capabilities like intuition, nurturing others and strong interpersonal skills are important but they won’t help you be sufficiently recognized for your work.

Success is not only about the caliber of your work.

Hard work and good work are the expected standards. You need to go above and beyond that if you want to stand out from the crowd. Visibility is just as important as ability. If nobody knows how great your work is, it’s not going to get you anywhere. If you aren’t proactive about reporting your accomplishments, you’ll never get recognized for your good work.
