What is true success? How is true success measured? How do you look at success? How can you be successful? These questions and more are answered by John Wooden in this explosive video:

Fear is a state of confusion. It a state of hopelessness. Fear cripples, fear destroys.  It rendered a strongman weak. It rendered potent man impotent. It makes a rich man poor. Fear kills! There was a Youngman, he loves cooking so much, so he decided and picked a job with a restaurant in his city.   It was a big restaurant that offers late services. His job was to cook soup on a daily basis from 8am to 5pm. He loves meat so much. Whenever he was preparing soup for the restaurant, he will steal pieces of meat from the soup. He did this on daily basis.   One day, he went to work very early and found chickens in the restaurant store. He cannot remember when last he had eaten chicken and chicken happens to be his best meat. He look around to see if anybody was around. There was nobody in sight. He look to the left, right and back, there was no body watching him. He caught one of the chicken, twist its neck, hide it under his clothes and...

Taking charge is being in control of a situation. When you’re in control, you are in charge and that gives you confidence to strive. When you take care, you are faced with the challenge of choosing the safer side. This put one in a more vulnerable position than necessary. I often hear people telling others to “take care”. Robert Schuller says “people who take care never gets anywhere”. This is the whole truth and nothing but the truth; so what you need to do is to “take charge”. Until you take charge, you won’t get anywhere in anything you are doing.             When you take care, often times you avoid risks that would have raked millions into your bank account.   Business itself is risk! You need to take reasonable risk to achieve what you want in life.   Life and everything in this world have an element of risk and that is just the way it is.       ...

There are bad news everyday, either tsunami, earthquake, bombing, floods, war, crackdown etc. Is the world coming to an end. Though it is happening everyday, your ideal can change the cause of things. Think of the way forward, not the cause, because the best is yet to come in our present world.

Almost everything we do in today's business world involves a risk of some kind: customer habits change, new competitors appear, and factors outside your control could delay your project. But formal risk analysis and risk management can help you to assess these risks and decide what actions to take to minimize disruptions to your plans. They will also help you to decide whether the strategies you could use to control risk are cost-effective. In this article, I will define risk as 'the perceived extent of possible loss'. Different people will have different views of the impact of a particular risk – what may be a small risk for one person may destroy the livelihood of someone else. One way of putting figures to risk is to calculate a value for it as: risk = probability of event x cost of event Doing this allows you to compare risks objectively. To carry out a risk analysis, follow these steps: 1. Identify Threats: The first stage of a r...

Today’s rising overhead expenses drive organizations to find practical ways to reduce costs. Profit-conscious executives face the challenge of either reducing headcount or reducing overhead expenses. Much of the time, either of these strategies can have a negative impact on productivity and morale. Every so often a strategy appears that can provide significant expense control and enhance productivity. One of these areas is office printing. Documents drive business processes. That’s why an average of 1-3% of a company’s annual revenues are consumed by document production. To make matters worse, this expense is growing in many organizations. A Print Management Strategy allows you to control these expenses by outsourcing the management of your fleet of printers. In this type of usage-based model, you only pay for the prints you use. Best of all, no capital expenditures are required since the agreement is for the management of your existing fleet. M...

  The coming of the 21 st century held meaning for most Western societies, serving as an opportunity for broader speculation about what ought to be done to improve the performance of businesses. In the field of management, cycles of boom and bust in Asia had called into question new ways of organizing hailed in the 1980s, and questions and concerns mounted about inadequacies of 20th century views of business firms. The 21 st century comes with dramatic changes and the idea that, to cope with it, managers ought to strategize anew and shape and reshape their firms. To understand what vital developments are actually taking place in the 21st century, managers need to ask the questions; which current conceptions successfully capture these opportunities and threats, and the vital trends in strategizing, organizing, and managing? Or can current conceptions be extended to serve this purpose? Over the past two decades, the world has moved from the C...
