5 steps to delegating and supervising

 There are 5 steps to delegating and supervising that guarantee that your expectations are met and success results are achieved.

Step One

The first step in delegation is to become perfectly clear about the results that you desire from the job. The greater clarity you have with regard to the results expected, the easier it is for you to select the right person to do the job.

Step Two

The second step is to select a person based on his or her demonstrated ability or success at doing this job. Never delegate an important job to a person who has never done it before. If the successful completion of the task is important to the success of your business, it is essential that you delegate it to someone who you confidently believe can complete the task satisfactorily.

Step Three

Third, explain to the person exactly what you want done, the results that you expect, the time schedule that you require, and your preferred method of working. The reason that you are in a position to delegate a task is because you have probably already mastered this task. Taking the time to teach and explain the best way to do the task based on your experience is an excellent way to ensure that the task will be done as you wish and on schedule.

Step Four

Step four is to set up a schedule for reporting on progress. If it is an important task, set up a deadline for completion that is a day or a week before your actual deadline. Always build some slack into the system. Then, check on the progress of the task regularly, very much like a doctor would check on the condition of a critical care patient. Leave nothing to chance.

Step Five

Step five, inspect what you expect. Delegation is not abdication. Just because you have assigned a task to another person does not mean that you are no longer accountable. And the more important the task, the more important it is that you keep on top of it.

What task can you effectively delegate to someone else? Which one of your employees can handle the task efficiently?

I've created a special report called "Exercising Your Influence" to help you become a better and more effective leader.  

Getting More Intimacy and Attention From Your Partner

Have You and Your Partner Grown Distant?

As the years go by, you may feel like your spouse or partner no longer
feels that you are attractive or significant. In fact, you may feel like
just about everything and everybody else is far more appealing than you are
in your spouse's or partner's world. These other things can include work,
hobbies, friends, and coworkers, to name a few. If you are feeling a lack
of connection with your spouse or partner, there are things you can do to
catch their attention and make yourself more available.

What Can I Do?

Be Present - Be present in your relationship, always. Maybe the two of you
fell in love and everything felt perfect, leading you to believe that you
would remain together forever in perfect harmony. Keep in mind, not
everybody experiences an instant connection, and not everybody is lucky to
maintain an intense closeness as time passes. It takes effort and focus to
stay connected.

Make Eye Contact - You've probably heard that the eyes are the windows to
the soul. It is imperative to make and maintain eye contact with your
partner. When you look into your spouse's eyes from across a room, you're
actually being intimate. Eye contact is an important part of socializing
and is an integral part in creating any intimate relationship. Not only
does eye contact show you are interested and attentive to the conversation;
it also shows trust and understanding, as well as openness and emotional
connection.

Be Physical - Touching the one you love not only feels good; it also
increases the "love hormone" called oxytocin. This hormone is important to
any romantic relationship and is the reaction to being touched, not only by
having sex, but by holding hands, hugging, or touching feet. Be flirtatious
and touch their arm or knee when having a conversation.

Be Interested - Pay attention to your spouse by listening to what is being
said and by noticing body language. In order to do this, 100 percent, you
have to tune everything else out, and listen to what your spouse is saying.
Commit to listen actively when your spouse is talking. When you spouse
speaks, make eye contact and be silent while taking in everything that is
being said. When you do speak, be sure to be supportive and courteous,
which will show you are understanding the dialog, as well as interested in
the topic of conversation.

Be Emotionally Present - Share the intimate details of what is going on in
your daily life. Tell them why you were excited or let down by that
situation at work or with a friend; let them in on the little details of
your day. This will help build a more intimate connection. Being
emotionally present proves to your spouse or partner that they are valued,
appreciated, and special. Many times, these feelings will be returned to
you. Being vulnerable goes along with trusting that your spouse or partner
actually accepts the real you.

Love Unconditionally - Always accept your spouse or partner for who they
are, as they are. Never try to change something about them; even something
as minor as the way they wear their hair or the fact that they always wear
t-shirts when you'd rather they dressed up a bit more. Being able to accept
the small things is a good indicator that you will be able to accept the
larger things such as learning about your partner's dreams, goals, and
feelings without being judgmental or dismissive.

Laugh, A Lot - Laugh together; have a great time together. Reminisce about
funny moments in your life; watch TV shows or movies that crack you up.
Laughter is contagious. When you hear somebody laughing, it is natural for
you to want to laugh as well. People who laugh a lot have less stress in
their lives.

Schedule Together Time - Schedule time together each and every day, for at
least 10 to 15 minutes. This can be before dinner, over coffee after
dinner, first thing in the morning, or in the evening, just before bed.
Focus on each other without interruption. Also, schedule time away
together, without the kids. Have a date night at least once per month, and
a date weekend (overnight) at least twice per year.

If you have made an effort to be more available to your spouse or partner
and things are still not improving, you will need to have a heart-to-heart
talk. However, it is important you know what you want before you start
ranting and raving about issues in your marriage or relationship. It's
important that you know the difference between your wants and your needs.

If talking it out doesn't improve your situation, you and your spouse or
partner may want to consider speaking with one of our trained

Fight Fairly!

Fight Fairly!

Your brain has two sides, each with specific tasks to perform. The right-hand side has a very small region called the amygdala which does many things including producing emotional reactions. The left-hand side of the brain is primarily for problem solving. Between the two is the Corpus Callosum which is like a bridge that connects the two sides.

Unfortunately, many people tend to stay on the right side of the brain and are so emotionally that they are unable to easily problem-solve. The Corpus Callosum does not strengthen because there is little traffic back and forth and so emotional reactions tend to flourish and problem-solving ability diminishes.

When you are involved in a difficult situation or having an argument with another person, there are specific things that you can do to resolve issues effectively:

    Remember that conflict is part of life - Holding different ideas is not a bad thing. In fact, if everyone thought the same way, life would be pretty boring! Think about how differing opinions can lead to positive change.
    Focus on the issue - It is easy to get off track but important to stick with the topic in dispute. It is helpful if each of you writes down one sentence on a piece of paper that clearly states the issue. Then stick to the issue during your discussion.
    Get all the information - Listen to the other person and make sure that you have all the information necessary to make a good decision. This might involve having to do some research before carrying on the conversation.
    Stay in the present - It doesn't help to bring up things from the past and quite likely will make things even worse.
    Take a break - When things are calm, make an agreement that during any heated debate you can make the time-out signal with your hands to indicate that you need to calm down. Walk around the block and come back within 15 minutes so the other person doesn't worry about you.
    Never attack the person with words or actions - Physical abuse is never appropriate. Over the years I have heard clients state, however, that the physical abuse ended but the verbal and mental abuse was burned into their souls.
    Look for common interests - Identify the things that you both want and then focus on how you can work together so that these interests are protected and enhanced.
    Employ sleep - Fatigue can negatively distort perception so sometimes it is better to deal with problems or differences after you have had a good rest.
    Keep things private - Do not spread gossip about your disagreement or try to solicit support from others (especially children) unless you both agree to meet with a professional who can help you resolve issues.
    Admit when you are wrong - Sometimes it is best to apologize even for the part that you played in escalating the situation.

The Law of Clarity By: Okwelum Fidelis Maxwell

Action Exercise
Determine how you will measure progress and success of achieving your goal. Write it down.


The Law of Clarity
By: Okwelum Fidelis Maxwell

Clarity accounts for probably 80% of success and happiness. Lack of clarity is probably more responsible for frustration and underachievement than any other single factor. That's why we say that "Success is goals, and all else is commentary." People with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them could ever imagine. This is true everywhere and under all circumstances.

The Three Keys to High Achievement
You could even say that the three keys to high achievement are, "Clarity, Clarity, Clarity," with regard to your goals. Your success in life will be largely determined by how clear you are about what it is you really, really want.

Write and Rewrite Your Goals
The more you write and rewrite your goals and the more you think about them, the clearer you will become about them. The clearer you are about what you want, the more likely you are to do more and more of the things that are consistent with achieving them. Meanwhile, you will do fewer and fewer of the things that don't help to get the things you really want.

The Seven Step Process for Achieving Goals
Here, once more, is the simple, seven-step process that you can use to achieve your goals faster and easier than ever before.

First, decide exactly what you want in each area of your life. Be specific!

Second, write it down, clearly and in detail;

Third, set a specific deadline. If it is a large goal, break it down into sub-deadlines and write them down in order;

Fourth, make a list of everything you can think of that you are going to have to do to achieve your goal. As you think of new items, add them to your list;

Fifth, organize the items on your list into a plan by placing them in the proper sequence and priority;

Sixth, take action immediately on the most important thing you can do on your plan. This is very important!

Seventh, do something every day that moves you toward the attainment of one or more of your important goals. Maintain the momentum!

Join the Top 3%
Fewer than three percent of adults have written goals and plans that they work on every single day. When you sit down and write out your goals, you move yourself into the top 3% of people in our society. And you will soon start to get the same results that they do.

Review Your Goals Daily
Study and review your goals every day to be sure they are still your most important goals. You will find yourself adding goals to your list as time passes. You will also find yourself deleting goals that are no longer as important as you once thought. Whatever your goals are, plan them out thoroughly, on paper, and work on them every single day. This is the key to peak performance and maximum achievement.

Action Exercises
Here is how you can apply this law immediately:

First, make a list of ten goals that you would like to achieve in the coming year. Write them down in the present tense, as though a year has passed and you have already accomplished them.

Second, from your list of ten goals, ask yourself, "What one goal, if I were to accomplish it, would have the greatest positive impact on my life?" Whatever it is, put a circle around this goal and move it to a separate sheet of paper.

Third, practice the seven-step method described above on this goal. Set a deadline, make a plan, and put it into action and work on it every day. Make this goal your major definite purpose for the weeks and months ahead.

Get ready for some amazing changes in your life.

"Do Anything You Want Just by
Setting a Goal!"
Do you constantly make resolutions and goals in your mind, but never follow through with them? It's as simple as learning the powerful goal setting and achieving techniques that I will teach you . When you learn my goal-achieving process you will become unstoppable and live the life that YOU want.

How to make money from money

Top ten tips for trading FX



How to make money from money
By Okwelum Fidelis M


1. Practice before you start trading with real money. Could you imagine an athlete going to the

Olympic Games without preparation and training? Make sure you have practised your trading on a demo

platform and get comfortable with it and your trading style before committing real money.

2. Know what moves currency markets. Like any asset class, there are a number of factors that drive

currency performance. A country’s macroeconomic situation can have a major influence – economic data

releases, policy decisions and political events can change an economist’s outlook on the country, and

therefore the currency. There are also technical factors such as interest rates, equity markets and

international trade which may have an impact. Spend time getting to know these.

3. Understand the strategies. Yes there is a method to the madness. As a trader you need to be aware

of three crucial trading strategies which are often used by currency traders; the carry, momentum, and

value trade. Momentum tracks the direction of currency markets; the carry strategy sees investors

selling currencies with low interest rates and buying those with high rates; and the valuation

strategy takes a position based on the investor’s view of a currency’s value. However, the strategies

that you use are up to you.

4. Manage risk. As with any investment decision, you must decide what risk you’re willing to accept.

Ask yourself, “how much am I prepared to lose on this position?” If you don’t have a convincing or

comfortable answer then you should rethink the trade. Do not risk more than you can afford to lose.

Think about how you can mitigate your downside risk by using of trading strategies such as stop losses

or limit orders.

5. Stick to your knitting. There are literally hundreds of currency pairs that can be traded in the

currency markets, each of which have their own characteristics and considerations to understand and

analyse. If you’re participating in the market on a part time and non professional basis, it is

probably better to concentrate on just a few pairs and commit to thorough and robust research on

those, rather than superficial research on the many. Some key things to consider when analysing a

currency pair are its liquidity, transaction costs (the spread) and its volatility. As a general

rule, major currencies usually have better liquidity, tighter spreads and lower volatility, versus

emerging market currencies which have poor liquidity, wide spreads and volatile movements.

6. Plan your trade, and trade your plan. It’s one thing to have a plan, it’s quite another to execute

it. It is important in currency trading to not get caught up in the moment – the markets are fast

moving and in the short term can be unpredictable. Rather than trying to make a quick profit, stick

to your long term plan based on your research. Good currency traders make money in the long term by

being disciplined, not necessarily by making short term bets.

7. Research, research, research. It’s important to stay up to date. All currencies move quickly and

checking the price once a week is not going to help you make strong long term returns. It is helpful

to use an online provider that gives you up to the minute data and statistics. Traders use this data

to constantly assess their trading positions.

8. Keep your emotions in check. Like many important decisions, it is vital to keep emotion out of any

trading decision you make. If you’re upset about missing out on an opportunity and want to trade

yourself better, or want to go ‘off-piste’ to make up for a loss earlier in the day – reconsider,

because you’ve got the warning signs of someone about to make a rash and irrational decision. If you

do feel yourself getting emotionally involved in a particular trade, take a deep breath, review your

strategy, and establish how such a decision will affect your overall approach before going anywhere

near the ‘execute’ button.

9. Don’t expect to win on every trade. That may not sound like much of a sales pitch, but even the

most successful of traders don’t win on every trade. What they do have is a robust plan and long-term

strategy which carefully considers the risks. So don’t necessarily be disheartened if a trade doesn’t

go your way; review why it went wrong and see if there is anything to learn from the experience. But

don’t think that currency trading is an option for those seeking quick money, because like any

investment, it only should be played by those with a long-term end-game in mind.

10. Don’t put all your (nest) eggs in the currency basket. Foreign exchange is only one of the many

asset classes you should be considering as part of a balanced investment portfolio. FX trading is not

suitable for every investor, so if you are committing all of your financial resources to FX trading be

sure you are fully aware of the risks and rewards of doing so, because it’s not recommended. The same

applies for currency trading itself; spread your risk by not placing all your faith in a single trade

because diversification is key; no matter what asset class you’re investing with.

7 Goal Setting Tips

7 Goal Setting Tips
7 Little Known
Goal Setting Tips
That Will Turn Your Vague Dreams
Into Tangible Reality
Lesson 1: The Most Important Rule Of Writing Your Goals Down That You Must Follow If You Want To Achieve Success.
Most of us already know that it is vitally important to write your goals down.
The simple mechanical act of writing makes your goal visible and tangible. That’s no longer just a thought!
Now it’s a commitment.
But there is one rule you must follow to succeed that very few know.
It’s not enough to write your goal down…
… You have to describe it in complete detail!
Make it as specific as possible.
Compare:
“I want to buy a new home”
and
“I want to live in a new two story gorgeous Victorian style home with 4 spacious bedrooms, luxurious living room with a fireplace and hardwood floors. I will enjoy my large backyard with swimming pool and patio…”
“I want to make a lot of money” is not the goal.
It’s just a wish.
“I want to make $10.000 monthly with my business by July 1st.”
Now that’s the goal.
After writing your goal down in complete details don’t forget to make it visible!
You can write it on a yellow note and stick it on your computer.
Or even better. Print it so it would fit 4x6 picture frame, then frame it and put it on your desktop.
You can also print it on your business card and put it in your wallet.
Try to surround yourself with little reminders.
This will help you to stay focused on your goal and create a clear mental image of what you want.
Lesson 2: The One Question You Must Answer Before You Take Action.
There is one question you must answer before you start achieving your goal.
Failure to answer that question will result in lack of motivation and failure to follow the plan.
Take a piece of paper and answer this question in writing:
WHY do you want to achieve your goal?
No, not just because “I want”. There are reasons behind your dreams, usually dozens of them.
And if you realize why you want to reach your goal, you’ll be most likely to follow your plan till the end.
For example, why would you want to lose 15 pounds in 2 months?
􀃖To look good
􀃖To feel good about yourself
􀃖To fit in your favorite dress
􀃖To impress your spouse
􀃖…

List every single reason. Try to imagine all the benefits.
The truth is the longer the list, the stronger your motivation will be.
Read your reasons first thing in the morning. Even better, frame them and hang them on the wall. It will keep you focused and motivated.
Lesson 3: How To Trick Yourself To Finally Get Started Working On Your Goals And Stay On Track Until The Goal Is Accomplished.
I’ve heard this hundreds of times.
“Think Big!”
“Dream Big Dreams!”
“Make Your Goal As Big As You Can Imagine!”
So, okay… I’ve written down my BIG, almost out-of-reach goal. After all, I don’t want to underestimate myself. I know I can do this but…
But often after a full day at work I’m just so exhausted…
…to start working on my big goal. I don’t have enough energy for BIG goals. So I make a dinner, watch TV, do the homework and think “I’ll do it tomorrow.”
But tomorrow never comes.
Every evening I’m too tired to work on my goal. Day after day I’m feeling more and guiltier. As weeks pass by I’m getting more depressed….
Have you ever been in this situation?
If yes, there’s a small trick that will help you to get started no matter how big your goal is.
Every night write down a small task for the next day. Make it as tiny as you can. Something that would take 10-15 minutes.
Let’s say your goal is to lose weight and you decided to work out every day for 30 minutes.
You could write down your assignment:
“Do one exercise for lower abs 10 times.”
Yes, just one exercise, just 10 times. It would take you about 3 minutes.
The secret is that the most difficult thing is to get started. Once you got started you 95% most likely to finish the whole 30 minutes work out!
Even if you just do one exercise for 10 times, it is better that nothing. You wouldn’t feel guilty and depressed – you’ve fulfilled your assignment! And if you do more you’ll feel even better!
The trick is to give yourself a really small task:
To make a phone call, or to read one page of a textbook.
And once you get started you will actually find out that you won’t mind doing more than you planned!
Remember, set big goals, but make your tasks small.
Lesson 4: One Simple, Yet Powerful, Technique That Drives You Into Actions Every Day And Helps To Overcome Procrastination.
Unfortunately very few recognize the astonishing power of personal success journal. It takes only 10-15 minutes a day to write down your achievements and the tasks you’ve accomplished. But these 15 minutes a day have the power to transform all your life.
􀂾Success journal motivates you.

By writing down your achievements you will be able to feel the progress. You will see how by small steps you’re moving closer and closer to your goal.
􀂾Success journal eliminates temptation.

It will be easier to resist temptations since you know that you have to write down what you have done tonight.
􀂾Success journal simplifies your life.

Things become much simpler when they are written down. A journal makes you more tolerant of life’s distractions.
However you should be aware of three rules of keeping a success journal:
1. Write only what you’ve done.
Don’t write what you still haven’t done and what you have to do tomorrow. List only accomplished tasks and achievements.
2. List even small things.
Everything counts! A phone call, a chapter of a textbook or your decision to pass by the chocolate cheesecake.
3. Make it a daily habit.
Don’t skip days! Even if you’re exhausted make sure you write at least 1-2 sentences in your success journal. Even if the only thing you did was thinking about your goal.

I urge you to take a notebook and start to list all your completed tasks. In 30 days you wouldn’t possibly be able to live without it.
Lesson 5: The Secret Formula That Helps You To Define The Perfect Moment For Working On Your Goal.
Are you waiting for a perfect moment to work on your goal? Are you sure you will be able to recognize the perfect moment when it comes?
There is one simple formula that instantly tells you the perfect time to start achieving your goal.
The perfect moment = NOW!
Yes, right now, this very second is the ONLY perfect moment to start working towards your goals. No, it’s not tomorrow or Monday or the first day of the month. Right now.
Don’t waste your life waiting for a perfect conditions or perfect opportunity. They don’t exist.
Use what you have, start right now, never ever procrastinate!
Have you ever noticed that all the successful people are very dynamic? They don’t lie on the couch…
…waiting for the perfect time to start doing something. They get up and DO it.
If you’re still trying to put things off and make excuses to do it later, in the next lesson you will learn how to overcome procrastination and become a person who loves the thrill of getting things done.
Lesson 6: How To Stop Putting Things Off And Convert Yourself From Procrastinator Into Productive, Effective Person Who Loves The Thrill Of Getting Things Done.
Are you the person who always puts things off and promises himself to do it later?
Then this technique is for you.
Next time you’ll catch yourself trying to putt important task off, take a piece of paper and answer three simple questions.
1. Where you are?
2. What do you want to do?
3. How you will feel while doing it?

While writing down what do you want to do you will already imagine yourself doing it. And it won’t be very difficult for you to get up and do it.
Let’s say you’ve been putting off organizing your closet. You always find more important tasks to do and it’s never enough time to clean it and put everything in place.
Just sit down, take a piece of paper and begin writing: “It’s Saturday, 3:45pm. I’m sitting in the kitchen, drinking coffee. I want to organize my closet. It will only take me about 1 hour and I will feel energetic and satisfied that I finally got it done. My closet will be clean, everything will be sorted and in place…”
Just as you’re writing it you feel the desire to get up and do it. Because you want your closet organized, you want to feel satisfied and you’ve already imagined yourself doing it.
Remember, all you have to do is to answer three questions. Where you are, what do you want to do, and how will you feel while doing it. It’s a very simple technique but it works like a magic! ☺
