Let’s start 2022 right!

Yes, it’s 2022 already; it’s out with the old and in with the new. Which means change for the better. But often sticking to new and ambitious goals… well… easier said than done.

Here’s what you need to know:

Create a plan of action/goal. Focus on long-term endeavours. Make sure to have a concrete plan to achieve objectives. Clients who see a system in your business usually see results which are enough to motivate them to keep going with you. Any business, small or big, must ensure that they have a plan to be profitable. If the resources invested into the business outweigh the profits, then the company can’t exist.

Market research. Do your homework; know your business, or know your product/service well, your clients and their needs. Befriending them is the key to knowing more about your clients and your business. Gather good data, and constantly measure the results. This dedication improves business intelligence.

Know your customer. Make sure you know what you really want to know with your prospective client. Clear goals matter just as much in setting up a successful resolution as they are in managing a company. Sometimes, entrepreneurs focus on what they believe customers want without seeking feedback. Make sure you are connecting with your core demographics and gathering data.

When you have all the tools needed to achieve your 2022 resolution right… then, it’s time to…

Put your act together. Always remember that all successful businesses need 100% confidence. As they say, positive thinking produces positive result. However, if you see some downfalls and pitfalls, tweaking on some areas will do…

Just remember to always KEEP MOVING FORWARD. Never quit until you see results. Let’s start your 2022 right!

A very common concern amongst businesspeople who are contemplating on virtually doing the business is how monitoring will be done. Being able to instil trust and commitment is also a vital issue.

One way of dealing with the problem is to get software that will allow you to check your virtual assistant (VA)’s progress from time to time (e.g. Time Doctor and TeamViewer). The internet is abundant with these applications if you care to look for one. You can also design a reporting process that must be adhered to religiously by the VA.

Another way of managing VAs is through the assistance of online companies that provide this service. These are professional companies that have extensive experiences and comprehensive guidelines on how to hire a VA. They normally have a pool of preselected individuals that you could choose from to fit your requirement.

They can ease the hiring process as they already have existing contracts and a step-by-step process that will assist you in selecting the best person for the job. And since it is their job to ensure that the VAs they provide are delivering results in accordance with your needs, they institute a check and balance system that makes sure of it.

Finally, communication is the key to building a lasting relationship with VAs. The idea is to work hand in hand with constant follow-up and a feedback system. It is important that all tasks and instructions are practical, doable and relayed accurately.

We have prepared six ways to your successful delegation, so chill out; have others do your work.

To realise everything you are capable of achieving and to be able to concentrate on those few tasks that can make the greatest contribution to your life and work, you must become excellent at delegation. Whether you are a boss or an employee, it is a universal key to success. You must be continually seeking ways to outsource, delegate and get other people to do things that pay you a lower hourly rate than you desire to earn.

There are several ways in which you can become more effective at delegating and outsourcing or hiring other people to do parts of your work so that you can do the parts of your job that pay the most.

When to Delegate?

1. Instead of You?

Ask the question, ‘Who can do this job instead of you?’ Remember, you have to delegate everything possible in order to have enough time to do those few things that are most important.

2. Better than You?

You should ask, ‘Who can do this job better than me?’ One of the characteristics of effective managers and successful leaders is that they have the ability to find people who are superior to them in specific tasks. You should continually be looking for people who can do certain parts of your work better than you.

3. At a Lower Cost?

Evaluate the job and ask, ‘Who can do this job at a lower cost than I require?’ Many companies and individuals are finding that they can outsource major parts of their operations to companies who specialise in such areas. Companies that specialise in a particular function can usually do the job cheaper and faster than a company that does that work as part of its other activities.

4. Can It Be Eliminated?

Ask yourself and others, ‘Can this activity be eliminated altogether?’ What would happen if the job was not done at all? Many of the routinised tasks and activities in a company or business could be quite easily eliminated with no loss of productivity and a massive increase in ineffectiveness.

It is amazing how many activities go on in a business and private life that could be quite easily discontinued completely, with no loss or inconvenience to anyone. Rooting out these opportunities for increased efficiency can dramatically escalate profitability for an organisation or department.

To achieve everything you are capable of achieving, and to be able to concentrate on those few tasks that can make the greatest contribution to your life and work, you must become excellent at delegation. Whether you are a boss or an employee, it is a universal key to success. You must be continually seeking ways to outsource, delegate and get other people to do things that pay you a lower hourly rate than you desire to earn.

There are several ways that you can become more effective at delegating and outsourcing, or hiring other people to do parts of your work so that you can do the parts of your job that pay the most.

Take it from Siimon Reynolds, expert and entrepreneur/co-founded two large enterprises, Photon Group and OMG. SIICOACH:

How your self image determines your wealth. You’re visualising how things will go anyway, all day long. It’s just how the brain works. So you might as well take control of the process and visualise exactly what you want. With regular daily practice you’ll find you will be more confident, more at ease, more effective. You’ll also find your economic identity will have changed. And soon after, your wealth.

Are you prepared to make 2022 your most thriving year yet?  It would be great to put the negative news of 2021 behind us and begin shaping a future that we propose!

Here are three quick steps you can use to jump-start your year:

Confirm your hypothesis
Be acquainted that you are making an assumption, and then authenticate your assumption. Get in touch with your prospective clients to find out what it would be of significance to them. If you think a new product would be immense, confirm your hypothesis before you start and save the time and money that it takes to change later.

Never assume that you’re correct. If you’re initiating a new service, you will have a mass of assumptions. Business is built on hypotheses. Investigations, statistics, surveys, etc. all exist to gather information to authenticate or contradict hypotheses.

Track your advertising/marketing

Organise your marketing thoughtfully, and follow your results. Know what you’re trying to achieve with your marketing, not generically. Understand who your targets are, how to reach them, what elucidation you’re offering, what results you expect, how many touches it takes to convert a prospect into a customer, how long your crusade will last, etc.

Marketing is costly in money or time (or both). Even if you’re core effort is online and isn’t costly, it will still cost you effort and time. Never market without having finances, goals, and ways to track your achievement.

These simple steps can help you immensely. Not only will they assist you in achieving results, but they will also help you save time and money that might otherwise be wasted on guesses.

Set your objective

Adjust and adapt to changing circumstances, but always with the goal in mind. This is one of the keys to setting goals; it upholds your focal points and assists you in coordinating your actions. Countless people will not bother, but it has been said a couple of times. Set your goals. Note them down. Commit to them. The point isn’t just noting them down and then hoping they’ll come true. Set the goals, and then plan how you’ll accomplish them. Break the goals into pieces, and allocate pieces of them to dissimilar offerings your corporation has. Track your progress towards your goals, and scrutinise what works and what doesn’t work.

What are Leadership and Delegation?

Delegation is the act of assigning tasks and responsibilities, together with the necessary authority (leadership) to carry them out, to your employees. Effective delegation can save you time and motivate your team by demonstrating that you trust them and value their abilities.

Common Mistakes Managers Make When Delegating

• Don’t give enough freedom
• Don’t communicate clearly
• Aren’t open to new ideas

How to Delegate

Firstly, concentrate on the most important matters yourself. You should be doing activities that only you can do (that involve a high level of skill and, ideally, that you enjoy doing). When delegating, set broad controls and allow your team to make mistakes.

Communicate Clearly

Take the time to make your requirements known to your team member. Give a clear picture of the results you expect, the time limits involved and the authority being transferred to that team member. Also, make sure other people in the organisation know about the delegation so they can support it.

Encourage Participation

Employees are least satisfied and least motivated when they can’t inject their own ideas into the project. They need to be able to display their own talents.

Examine Results Not Methods

An effective delegator needs to accept varying approaches to achieving results. Since no two people approach a solution in exactly the same way, you need to concentrate on whether the desired results are being achieved or not or whether they are being achieved your way. A poor delegator says, ‘This is what we want to achieve, and this is how we will proceed.’ An effective delegator says, ‘Here is the result we have agreed we want to accomplish; give me your best recommendations as to how we can get that result.’

Show Trust

Allow your team members to get the job done without micromanaging. Excessive checking will convince the employees that they are not really responsible for the job.

Delegate Credit Only

You cannot delegate blame. Remember that you bear the final responsibility for the actions of your team

Know Your Team

You need to know what and how much you can delegate to a person. You should gradually increase the level of responsibility and importance of the tasks as results are successfully achieved.

Things to Avoid

Don’t let the chain of command get too long. If there are too many levels of responsibility, some information will never trickle all the way to the bottom.
Don’t ask one subordinate to report to two people. It will be impossible for the subordinate to decide whose work comes first.
Don’t make fuzzy job assignments. Grey areas between positions simply invite overlap, conflict and duplication of effort.
Don’t be too rigid. Try to maintain flexibility to provide for situations that inevitably crop up and need nonstandard solutions.

Exercise

Make a list of three things you are doing today that you should be delegating. Identify who you will delegate them to, and write down how you will go about doing so. Then, delegate.

A Powerful Complete Guide in Becoming a Smart Boss

Nowadays, starting your business and securing success are not as easy as investing money and watching it earn interest. With so many players entering the playing field, in addition to the opening up of every nation to globalisation (with the help of advanced technology) wherein competition becomes tougher and meaner, the survival of the fittest in business setting has become a lot complicated than it used to. There are currently so many things to consider and so many risks and threats to traverse. If you are not equipped well to play the game, then you can be certain that you will never reach the finish line. The key is to become armed with methods and formulas that can help you become one of the strongest players. And with the unstable economy making it more difficult, it is only fitting, now more than ever, to be guided by principles that can make you a worthy opponent and an exceptional survivor.

Different Facets of Management You Should Know

Time Management

Time, being definite, is the most valuable resource that a businessperson needs to manage. Since there are only 24 hours a day, with several hours spent on sleeping, eating, caring for oneself and socialising, it is only proper that a businessperson be stingy when it comes to managing time. As such, learning how to delegate to maximise time is necessary.

People Management

Once the business starts to boom, there will be no denying that the next unavoidable step to take is to get help. As much as you would want to do everything by yourself, it will not be physically possible. Since hiring an employee will entail spending money, a lot of businesspeople are trying to evade this process. Instead of arguing with the fact that getting help is not a prerogative but is a requirement, there are actually options to choose from on how to get help in the most cost-effective way.

Financial and Investment Management

Money is the cause and yield of all businesses. To be able for a business to get started, money is invested; to be able to be deemed successful, money should be yielded. However, having money does not equate to success; being able to grow this money is what businesses are all about. As such, developing a system wherein returns from investments are secured is a vital part of management.

Growth Management

Every business envisions itself becoming big and powerful in future. Whilst a lot of entrepreneurs spent time on dreaming and envisioning, being able to manage these dreams and visions to become a reality is what really matters. Knowing how growth becomes an indispensable part of the future is a management skill that is an essential ingredient in fostering a successful business.

Management Gone Wrong

An outstanding effect of not being able to handle all or any of these management phases may be an undesirable bottom line. Since all businesses are built with the goal of becoming profitable, the probability of failure is at high stake if skills are not set to manage all facets of management. Productivity will sure to suffer at great lengths if time and people are not handled well. Since finances are extremely connected with our production, we can be certain that this will generate less revenue than desired. With income being limited, it is only fitting to expect that future growth will never be realised as there would be no money to be used to expand the business.

Only when an organisation is able to determine ways for properly and effectively handling these facets of management will there be an assurance for growth and profitability. Since all these facets are greatly linked together, each or any of these that will not be performed well will be the cause of the company’s failure.

YES! Delegation is one of the most imperative management skills. Good delegation saves you time, develops your people, grooms a successor and motivates. Poor delegation will cause you frustration, demotivate and confuse the other person and result in failure in achieving the task or purpose itself.

Here are the simple steps to know when your delegation is a success:

Follow these simple steps and dive right into delegation. As you become more successful in delegating, you will feel more certain in adding to your ‘Stop Doing’ list. Then, use your time on something much more impactful for your business or much more pleasurable for you.

Do you feel stressed and overloaded?
If so, then you may need to brush up your delegation skills!

This is reality. You can’t do everything that everyone wants, and this can leave you stressed, unhappy and overloaded.

To delegate effectively, choose the right tasks to delegate, identify the right people to delegate to, and delegate in the right way. There’s a lot to this, but you’ll achieve so much more once you’re delegating effectively!

This is why delegation is such an important skill and is one that you absolutely have to learn!

Would you rather be focusing on all of the things you have to do, or do you want to use that time to get results that really matter to you? – Tony Robbins

The power of delegation

As an entrepreneur, your time is your most valuable asset, which is why delegation is so important. As a leader, your job is to concentrate on those things that only you, as the leader, can do. This is where the effectiveness of an organisation increases exponentially. Effective delegation is the secret to successful leadership. The purpose is twofold: to accomplish the task at hand and to develop the employee in charge of its completion. If applied properly, it’s a technique that saves time, money and morale whilst increasing the capabilities of your human resources. Mishandled, delegation can be a catastrophic failure resulting in poor performance, resentment and inefficiency.

Keeping Control

Take time to explain why they were chosen for the job, what’s expected from them during the project, the goals you have for the project, all timelines and deadlines and the resources on which they can draw. And agree a schedule for

Make sure that the team member understands that you want to know if any problems occur and that you are available for any questions or guidance needed as the work progresses.

We all know that as managers, we shouldn’t micromanage. However, this doesn’t mean we must abdicate control altogether. In delegating effectively, we have to find the sometimes-difficult balance between giving enough space for people to use their abilities to the best effect and monitoring and supporting closely enough to ensure that the job is done correctly and effectively.

The Importance of Full Acceptance

When delegated work is delivered back to you, set aside enough time to review it thoroughly. If possible, only accept good-quality, fully complete work. If you accept work that you are not satisfied with, your team member does not learn to do the job properly. Worse than this, you accept a whole new tranche of work that you will probably need to complete yourself. Not only does this overload you, but it also means that you don’t have the time to do your own job properly. Of course, when good work is returned to you, make sure to both recognise and reward the effort. As a leader, you should get in the practice of complimenting members of your team every time you are impressed by what they have done. This effort on your part will go a long way towards building team members’ self-confidence and efficiency, both of which will be improved in the next delegated task; hence, you both win.

Key Points

By delegating effectively, you can hugely expand the amount of work that you can deliver.

When you arrange the workload, you are working on the tasks that have the highest priority for you and other people are working on meaningful and challenging assignments, you have a recipe for success.

The COVID-19 pandemic has proven to be a test of character, not just on a personal capacity but also on how businesses project resilience and stability. But with or without the pandemic, businesses are expected to have a certain fail-safe or a fallback in case of circumstances that would require minimising workforce and production capacity.

They say that anything is possible in the internet era, from saving thousands of dollars to travel from one place to another, only to attend a meeting, to outsourcing processes and optimising offshore frameworks. 

The demand for virtual access and capabilities has never been this strong. Highlighted by the current health crisis we are all still facing, this proved, time and again, that technology is a reliable weapon when it comes to adversities.

Business continuity plan or BCP has always been a mandatory process, in place, in the event of a periled working system – when an emergency arises or when skeletal staffing is the most reasonable thing to do for the business. But a business continuity plan only works for a preset duration of time.

So, you have become a manager, but you are now looking for ways to be better in managing. Well then, you have come to the right place as we have prepared the best tips ever. Read down below, and enjoy the ride.

Strategise

There are many ways to outwit everyone else when it comes to managing a business. Since there are a lot of factors that need to be considered, the key is to maximising everything. Planning ahead is one proven way to a better management. You can do this by customising all the perils of management that was mentioned previously. Doing this can prepare you on future problems that you may face. It is never outdated to always hope for the best yet be prepared for the worst.

Delegate

Accepting that you cannot do everything is vital to be able to lead well. Having so many limitations makes it impossible for anyone to do a ‘one-man’ show and become successful.

Whilst it may give you a lot of peace of mind knowing that you are able to greatly perform tasks on the basis of your own standard of greatness, you can actually accomplish more by delegating other stuff to others. This will be possible if you are able to train them to think and do things the way you will. Proper delegation involves being able to delegate the tasks accurately with set expectations and troubleshooting methods in case the expectations are not met.

Hire Virtual Assistants

If you have budget constraints and will have difficulty hiring traditionally, getting help from virtual assistants is your best option. In fact, there are lot of cases wherein it was proven that hiring someone to work virtually is much more effective than hiring conventionally. Not only that virtual workers cost less, other matters, such as benefits, taxes, office resources, and supplies, will not be a problem. Setting up a virtual office is surely more cost-effective than having to set up an actual office. The key is to look for quality virtual assistants that can really help your business. Virtual assistants are abundantly available on the internet; they offer different skill sets and levels of expertise.

Gather Financial Resources

Whilst keeping your outflow fluid, it is also essential that you have solid backup resources when it comes to your finances. In the event that you are unable to sustain your cash outflow vis-à-vis your cash inflow, having alternative ways to gather up finances is very important. One best way is to strengthen up your credit rating. To be assured that in the event that you will need additional capital, having the ability to secure loans is very important. When a calamity happens or an economic bump is underway, being amongst the first on the list of qualified businesses that can avail of assistance, whether from a private or government agency, is great for your business. Keeping close ties with other business owners is also one great mode of securing your financial fluidity.

Innovate

There is no sense arguing about all industries being saturated already. The business world is, no doubt, highly populated already; both with big and small players. There is no way that your venture will be successful unless you are able to provide new and fresh offers and contributions to your industry. If you cannot offer any innovation, then you will be amongst the thousand hopefuls whose dreams were turned into nightmares. It is important that you will be able to offer new and exciting stuff to your target market. Whether it is a new marketing strategy or a unique brand, the key is to be perceived different. If you will just follow the leaders in your industry or plan to duplicate one company’s success, the likelihood of getting your own success will be very remote. And if for some luck you did get successful by reproducing other’s triumph, it is expected that unless you innovate, your success will not last for so long.
