HOW TO SUCCEED IN 2012


Welcome to year 2012, the year with great promises.

Every year comeS with its challenges and blessings. While others are crying that a year is bad, others smile to the bank always.

So what makes others cry while others laugh in a year with great promises such as this?
It all depends on how we start our year. How well did you lay the foundation of your year in order to reap the benefits this year promises?

Are you depending on chance or luck?
Let me tell you my FRIEND, in our present world, nothing works on chance or luck. You either plan for or be prepared to fail! You either pay the price OR you don't deserve the prize!

The year has just began: have you draw up your plan for the year? Or are you waiting for manna to fall from heaven?
The days of manna are no more! This is the time of fending for yourself.
And how will you fend for yourself when you don't have a well written plan to guide you in your life dealings?

My dear, start this year with a plan. A simple plan will do - something as simple as this:
(1) FAMILY:
* I'll spend more time with my family this year.
* I'll ensure I help my son/daughter with her school work this year
* etc.

(2) FINANCES:
* I'll add another source of income to my major income to help in improving my family living standard.
= Alternative sources of income =
- Work at home businesses: Data entry, Virtual Assistant, etc
* I will sale my second car to raise money to start a business.
* Etc...

(3) SPIRITUAL:
* I'll study the word of God everyday morning and evening before going to bed.
* I'll teach my children the ways of God
* I'll fast every Friday
* Etc...

(4) CAREER
* I'll attend courses this year to improve my earning
* Etc...

(5) SELF DEVELOPMENT
* I must learn a new language this year
* I'll make sure I read a new book every week
* Etc...

A simple plan like the format above can go a long way in guiding you to the prosperity door of year 2012.

NOTE:
After identifying the areas you want to work on (like above), analyze the situation critically and develop alternative measures/areas that will help you in achieving your goal(s) for the year and select the best alternatives that are feasible.

Writing down a plan is NOT ENOUGH! You must follow the plan strictly and make changes along the way where necessary.

In simple terms, YOU'RE IN CHARGE OF YOUR YEAR ONLY IF YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING AND HAVE A MAP (PLAN) ON HOW TO GET THERE.

Have a glorious year. My promise is: I'll always be by your side to give you my best; so keep visiting this blog and post comments where necessary, as well as tweet, facebook or email the blog to your love ones - You'll will never know "the block that will complete their building".

STAY BLESSED.

INTERNAL PROMOTION AND SUCCESSION PLANNING

Promotion comes as a result of ones performance on the job over a period of time, or it could be said to be an advancement in ones profession. Succession on the other hand is a shift in position as a result of promotion, transfer, retirement or death of others. It could be as well a change in policy of an organisation leading to reorganisation of operations and human resources. Getting succession right is vital. There are two approaches that can be used at different times to ensure success. The internal selection approach advocates choosing successors from within, to ensure a smooth transition, preserve company values, and encourage employees by showing a potential career path. Most organisations struggle with how to turn succession into success. It is necessary to use either internal selection or the Darwinian approach at different levels or at different times. For example, a high percentage (80%) of senior roles may be internally appointed, while junior roles are sel...

Performance Measurement and Reward System

As the global war for talent grows increasingly fierce, management of people is a key concern among organisations.  Once thought primarily in terms of cost, people in successful companies are being valued as rich sources of talent, skill and diversity, which are critical to the success of the organisation. Managers have identified the shortage of skills as one of the main threat to prospect of growth; they are devoting a greater share of resources to protecting themselves.  For this reason, the role of human resource in an organisation has been and continues to be scrutinized in terms of how it can add most value with the rest of the organisation, helping to overcome the challenges adherent in the people agenda. In defining performance measurement, Dessler states that it “means evaluating an employee’s current or past performance relative to the person’s performance standards”.  This entails evaluation or assessment of the actual p...

Future Trends and Techniques in Segmentation

Segmentation consists of group of buyers or a process of identifying groups of buyers who share similar set of need and wants.  It is the breakdown of the market for a particular product or service into segments of customers, which differs in terms of needs, wants, lifestyle, religion, income level, gender, buying process etc, and their response to marketing strategies. Today’s organisations need fresh thinking on how to operate and compete in the new economy characterised by hypercompetition, customization and digitalisation. An organisation cannot serve all the consumers in the entire market, the consumers are too many and are too diverse in their buying process.  An organisation therefore, needs to identify the market segment(s) it can best serve. Organisations been aware of these facts has been segmenting their products offerings to target a particular segment(s) of the market rather than using the old method of mass-marketing.  ...
