Control Distractions and Build Habits that Support Your Success

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012

Distractions are a great way to avoid success. In fact, the definition of a distraction is anything that comes between you and your goals. If it doesn’t take you closer, then it’s dragging you away. As the saying goes: “If you want to defeat someone, distract them.”
Yet, when you’re working alone, you can easily think that a couple of minutes to make a quick call, or open some mail won’t make a difference. Then one thing leads to another, and if you’re like me, you end up far from where you wanted to be as an hour has flown by. If you want to achieve your goals then you must learn to avoid distractions.

Sometimes life fast-forwards like a movie screen run amok. I’m in one of those phases right now, and it sure makes staying focused a challenge. That’s my challenge and it’s forcing me to become better organized and more sensitive to the ways I allow myself to be distracted.

Some folks are blessed with a love of schedules and “to do” lists. I am not. The artist in me tends to free-associate from one idea to the next. Before I know it I’m searching out clinics to get vaccines for my trip to Kenya when I haven’t completed the blog post I began earlier in the morning.

Truth be told, the only way to manage distractions is to control two things: Your environment, and your own actions. You can choose to find or create the work environment that helps you to focus and that shields you from distractions, whether visual, sound, or even smell.

Do you prefer some background noise and a bit of greenery out your window, or are you happiest working in a quiet cell-like setting? Choose what works best for you. Perhaps you do best in a cyber café, or prefer to do certain tasks in different settings.

Create productive habits. Creating an environment that keeps you focused is half the battle; the other half is choosing to master your work habits. Do you multi-task and jump from one task to the next, without ever really completing one or the other? What could you do to stay focused on one task until it’s completed?

Eben Pagan, a top productivity trainer, and author of Wake Up Productive, recommends setting a timer for 50 minutes, then rewarding yourself with a quick snack or 10 minutes of relaxation before resetting the timer and getting back to work. Stay with this routine until you can hold your focus for a full hour without letting anything pull you away from the task at hand. Like a muscle, focused attention is something you can develop with time and practice.

Distractions are no laughing matter. Those who focus win the game; whether it’s Tiger Woods on the golf course (no amount of public humiliation has had the power to undermine his game) or keeping your focus long enough to finish a task, everyone who seeks to be successful has to choose whether they will be master of their actions and thoughts, or let outside influences control their habits.

Yes, allowing distractions to interfere with your goals is nothing more than a habit that can be changed by choosing to create new habits. To quote Eben Pagan, “Habit is destiny.” Master your habits by building new, “focus muscles” that will keep distractions away, and then watch your productivity soar.

Alibaba has not yet reflect the electronic business platform for the most value

Monday, February 27th, 2012

The author analyzes the foreign media on Thursday, said Ali Baba gratifying results for the fourth quarter of 2010, Taobao credit. But all indications, the greatest value of these e-commerce platform has not yet been realized.

Alibaba 2010 fourth quarter net income rose 46%, but the company’s future growth prospects are not so good. Plagued by fraud scandal, Alibaba growth affected. LU Zhao-Xi’s new CEO forecasts of future performance, the company’s business focus will be on improving existing services with the user.

Alibaba’s Taobao in the end of 2010 the total commodity value (gross merchandise volume) close to 600 billion U.S. dollars, compared with $ 29,000,000,000 in 2009 doubled. By contrast, eBay in 2010, the total commodity value of 530 billion dollars.

Expand the market, thanks to favorable network effect, called the bright prospects of Taobao. With the increase in the number of buyers and sellers, the market will become more flow, which will attract more users to Taobao. eBay has managed to more than 10% of the total commodity value into income, if Taobao can reach this level, then it will generate more revenue.

However, the Alibaba Group holding 40% stake in Yahoo in terms of the shareholders, not the problems faced by Taobao is valuable, but how to lock these values. Initial public offering (IPO) is obviously a good choice, but given Alibaba founder Jack Ma listed the signal does not seem to see for sure Taobao, Alibaba Group and Yahoo feud between the IPO may be delayed because one.

All these show that the maximum value of Alibaba not play.

CATALOGUE NOTE
Richard Mille began working the watch industry in 1974, however it was not until 2001 that he released the first
watch from his own company. Since that time, he has become one of the greatest innovators in terms of technical
development, cutting-edge materials and forward-looking style.
Inspired by the perfection found in the Formula-1 racing circuit, Richard Mille creates his innovative and
performance-oriented wristwatches using non-traditional materials, such as ceramics, new metallic alloys and
carbon fiber compounds. The company does not produce watches with standard metal parts, as many of the gears
and pieces that make up the movement are custom-made for individual models.
The current model, the RM003, features several unusual and sophisticated technical innovations, including a
movement base plate in carbon nanofiber, torque indicator, variable inertia balance, fast rotating barrel and function
selector. All these advanced developments are not simply created to optimize the performance of the watches, but
also to enhance their precision and reliability. When combined with the technical elegance of the tourbillon and the
usability of the quick-set second time zone, the watch becomes not only a mechanical marvel, but a beautiful and
easy-to-use timekeeper.

E & O – Do You Need it?

Friday, February 24th, 2012

Errors & omissions and other similar professional liability insurance policies can be vitally important for professionals whether they are low profile licensees or high profile professionals. At one time, only doctors and other highly visible professionals needed to cover their rears with malpractice insurance and other related policies.

Today eye doctors, realtors, physicians assistants and directors of corporations are being taken to court for their errors. Not having a policy that can protect you against lawsuits can mean that your career is over and that your home is auctioned to pay your legal fees.

Being negligent can start with something small that due to the domino effect turns into something catastrophic. You might inadvertently discard a page from a client’s file or shred a critical document. This might cause you to give a client the wrong advice or miss a deadline.

No one can make the correct decision every single time. Having an insurance policy that protects you from the human error that we are all subject to can save your skin.

What is errors and omissions insurance? It is similar to a doctor’s malpractice insurance. It protects you the professional when a client alleges that you have made a professional mistake that caused them to lose money.

You should know that professional liability is not covered by a general liability insurance policy. So even if you have insured yourself with a general liability policy, you still have exposure to the risks that are part and parcel to your profession.

What is not covered by E&O? These liability policies are not designed to cover a professional for criminal acts. They will not cover anyone for acts that are dishonest or fraudulent.

Neither general liability insurance nor professional liability insurance is designed to cover dishonest or fraudulent acts. They are designed to protect anyone from honest mistakes.

A mistake shouldn’t force you to end your career or destroy your life savings. errors & omissions coverage is designed to cover inadvertent mistakes and allow you to continue on with your career.

An errors & omissions policy is, however, likely to cover you if you are taken to court due to an honest mistake you have made in your business or profession that is unintentional. Just as important is the fact an errors and omissions policy will cover you when you haven’t made an mistake honest or otherwise, but someone is still taking you to court.

Each generation tends go get more litigious. Professionals are being taken to court now at a rate that was unthinkable a short while ago. Should you believe that you are in a profession that makes being sued likely, you are probably right.

There doesn’t appear to be any limits to what a professional can be taken to court for. Sometimes the an error was made. Sometimes the lawsuits are frivilous, but being sued can be costly whether or not you have made even the smallest mistake.

If you are sued, you will probably find that your errors and omissions insurance carrier will cover your legal defense. The lawyer’s bills will not be deducted from the amount your company might pay to the party suing you. This can mean a savings of thousands of dollars. Being sued can be costly even if you are not guilty of negligence.

If your profession puts you in a position of trust and a high standard of conduct is expected of you and other members of your profession you may need an errors and omissions insurance policy whether or not your employer mandates it.

The number of lawsuits filed against professionals tends to increase during tough economic times. People who are out of work are more likely to sue. Failing to properly insure yourself before you are hit with a lawsuit might mean the end of your career and any nest egg that you have saved.

Why You Need and How to Get a Federal Employer Identification (EIN) Number

Friday, February 24th, 2012

If you own and operate a business, you may be required to obtain a Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) and should consider doing so even if not required. Commonly referred to as a federal tax ID number, an EIN is like a social security number for your business. Just as your social security number is used to identify you as a unique individual by government, financial and other institutions, an employer identification number is used to identify a business as a unique entity by government, financial, tax and regulatory agencies. Obtaining and using an EIN to identify your business to the Internal Revenue Service and the various federal agencies that regulate businesses is a smart way to separate and differentiate between your personal and business obligations and liabilities.

Issued by the IRS as a tax identification number, an EIN is a unique identifier assigned and tied to the individual owner of a specific business. EINs are used by employers, sole proprietors, corporations, partnerships, non-profits, government agencies and certain other business entities. By using an EIN to identify their business, sole proprietors who have been using their social security number as both a personal and business identifier can create an important layer of legal separation and privacy between their personal and business affairs. Using an EIN rather than a social security number for business transactions prevents access to the personal information tied to your social security number.

An EIN provides the additional benefit of creating a continuous business identity even if the name, focus or location of your business changes. This allows business owners to capitalize on tax, financial or regulatory advantages developed in previous years. As long as business ownership and operating status do not change, your EIN follows your business through the inevitable cosmetic and directional changes that accompany the definition and growth of a business. You can use the same EIN even if you change the name or address of your business or add additional locations. However, because an EIN is issued to the specific owner of a business and not to the business itself, a change in ownership necessitates obtaining a new EIN. A new EIN must also be obtained if the status of your business changes; for instance, if you incorporate your business or take on partners and begin operating as a partnership. A new EIN is also required when a business files for bankruptcy or establishes a profit sharing or retirement plan.

Despite its name, you do not need to be an employer to obtain an employer identification number. You are required to obtain an EIN if your business operates as a corporation or partnership or you offer taxable products or services, collect sales tax, have employees, withhold taxes on income, have a Keogh plan or file any type of federal tax return. However a business owner can apply for an EIN even if not required and will generally find it to his advantage. An EIN is required on income tax forms, employment tax reports, social security records and tax payments and is required to apply for a business license. Most banks also require an EIN to open a business account.

The application procedure is simple and painless. While you can apply for an EIN by contacting your local IRS office and filling out form SS-4, online application is fast and easy. Available at http://www.irs.gov, the EIN application form can be completed online. As soon as you complete the online application, you will receive your EIN and can begin using it immediately. Make certain you download, save and print the EIN confirmation page. Because it takes about two weeks from the date of issuance for a new EIN to be fully integrated into the IRS data base, business owners must wait two to three weeks before filing electronic returns or making electronic payments. The EIN is a federal identification number. While many states also use the federal EIN, some require state identification numbers.

More info on Risk Management

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012

The idea of risk management seems to be a world away from the exciting world of fast and furious trading on the sharemarket. But some believe risk management is the heart and soul of wealth creation when dealing with sharemarkets.

In essence, risk management is all about understanding when to seize opportunities and when to let go of what could be bad investments.

Without risk management, there would be countless lives which would be impacted. The insurance industry as we know it would not exist. Without risk management, there would be no space travel, medicines available would be very different from what we have now and business would look very different.

Heads you win, tails you win

It’s all about getting probabilities tipped in your favour. Think about a game of heads or tails. The chance of landing either is 50/50. What about the sharemarket?

Study by Roeichensten and Dorsett over the S&P 500 from 1926 to 1993 showed that uncertainty about returns was smaller in the longer-term compared with the short-term. It seems that in the short-term the market is more akin to a casino but in the long-term the odds are stacked in an investor’s favour.

Which reminds me of a famous quote by Warren Buffett: “In the short run, the market is a voting machine; in the long run, it’s a weighing machine.”

Outliers and black swans

A story on risk would not be complete without talking about outliers.

Outliers in sharetrading are often now called ‘black swans’. This reference comes from the 2007 book titled ‘The Black Swan’ by Lebanese scholar Nassim Nicholas Taleb. In the old world, swans were thought to only be white. It was only in 1697 when black swans were discovered by a Dutch expedition that people realised swans were not only white.

In the same way, there are events which may seem outside the realm of probability. When they occur, they have a major impact and after the event it is rationalised by the market.

The point is that these black swans are more common than is perceived and by forming a plan to deal with these black swans, investors can deal with these events more successfully.

Deviate from the norm

Peter Bernstein in his book ‘Against the Gods: the Remarkable Story of Risk’ says that much risk taking rests on opportunities that develop from deviations from the norm.

Indeed it seems as though successful investors have capitalised from moving against the crowd. Whether you look at Warren Buffett or Benjamin Graham, the sharemarket seems to be an illogical beast in which business-minded people have identified great opportunities that arise from these deviations from normal.

It’s about your behaviour

Risk is also about behaviour.

“Fear or harm ought to be proportional not merely to the gravity of the harm, but also to the probability of the event” (logic believed to have been written by Antoine Arnauld).

But try telling that to a swimmer with a fear of sharks on a day after a shark attack has occurred. Or to a person that is scared to fly!

We are shaped by our individual fears and so risk management should also be different for everyone.

So while risk management often sees people respond with a yawn, by understanding the odds, traders can make plans about what to do about the future. Successful sharetrading requires successful risk management and that includes understanding the sharemarket risks and your own behaviour.

Happy trading!

The most commonly used among these is in the form of pills that are available. There are different brands of these, which are very popular.

Herbal Highs are a way for some that may seek mental relief from stress and a need to feel intensely happy and physically energized even after a day of hard work.
