Hub You - Nine Steps to Help You Develop Your Potential
After reading a news post listed near my business on Merchant Circle, I can only shake my head in wonder. According to the information hot on the blogs, a Comcast employee not only wandered into a house to do some work but managed to take a nap - and was filmed doing so. That video wound up on the 'net and generated a great deal of bad press for Comcast. It leaves me to wonder, however, what type of avenues this might open up for the small business owner.I'd like to take you quickly through the text of the video (sorry to spoil it for you, you can still go and w

When you are professionally overqualified, there are usually lots of stressful issues, which have to be dealt with.When you are in this situation, there is a constant internal struggle and debate going on in your mind about your presence at that job. You keep asking yourself, “What am I doing here? What am I doing with my life?" You even begin to question who you are and the things you stand for! When others inquire why such a talented and qualified person like yourself would accept a job like that, you justify it by saying, “It’s because of the money”, or that you are still looking for something better or that it’s only a temporary
In many cases though, those books start half way through the process. After writing the last chapter about identifying our potential I realized that identification of our potential, while critical, isn’t the complete answer. It is only the first step.
If we want to reach our potential, we must start by identifying our greatest areas of potential. With that knowledge, we must take a step-by-step approach to making that potential reality in our lives.
It is no different than a business identifying its core strengths in order to best capitalize on the opportunities they see. When we start our personal improvement program with identified strengths or potential, we ignite our personal rocket – and begin our trip to greater heights and achievements.
Here then is a step-by-step process that you can use to convert your potential into results!
1. Identify it. I’ve already helped you do that. Whether you have followed those steps in the last chapter or are just aware of a skill you want to develop, this is a necessary first step.
2. Claim it. You must believe in your heart that you have untapped skill and ability in this area. Once you have claimed it, you must proclaim it by telling yourself (preferably out loud) that you ARE assertive, you ARE a swimmer, you ARE supportive of others. (Fill in your own skills and potentials!)

An expense report is the statement covering all the expenses of official or personal travel of an employee that is to be submitted to the employer for the purpose of reimbursement. Expense reports also serve the purpose of personal record of the expenses or for accounting and tax payment preparation. The expenses generally include air/train fare, hotel accommodations, food expenditures and other travel-related expenses. Often, the employees take too much time for the submission of expense report, but the process should be quick. The process of expense reporting can be made simple and quick only through automation with web-based expense rep

Have you ever realized, as a business owner you frequently repeat some tasks more than twice daily? If yes is your response, I bet you also didn’t realize the amount of time used to repeatedly do the same tasks. For example, after a sample session with a potential client, I explain my services, fees and expectations as well as ask a series of questions to see if we will be a good fit for one another. This process took an additional 15 – 20 minutes beyond the allotted sample session time. I decided that I could save time and close the sale quicker if this process was automated, so I developed a Welcome Packet and Questions that the poten

The literature on assertiveness distinguishes many models, with varying validity and practical usefulness. In developing the ‘Assertiveness Coffee Cards’ we have been led to look at the issue from a different angle, namely that of how the brain functions. As a result, we propose the following classification of assertive behaviour:1. Reptilian Emotional Assertiveness; 2. The Learned Assertiveness Behaviour; 3. The Frontal Lobes Driven Assertiveness; and 4. The Perceived Assertive Behaviour.The reptilian emotional assertiveness derives its name from the strong influence of the amygdala that is located in the limb

Competency based interviews are intended to get the best from you, the candidate, whilst also fulfilling the needs of the organisation to get the very best person for the job. There are some easy steps to make the most of yourself and have a much better chance of success.Prepare well, but keep it sensibleAs long as you know the job you are going for, ask for details of what you will be measured against. Ask for a set of competencies. Ask for a job description. This sets you up to succeed, not just because you are better informed, but also because you have asked - which will impress the decision-maker
3. Scope it. Next you need to think about what part(s) of you life you want to apply this new skill or ability in. Take time to determine the areas of your life where you will use this enhanced skill.
4. Target it. Why do you want to develop this potential? How will you and/or those around you benefit from the development of this potential? What is your goal? Answering these questions will help you stay the course when you get discouraged. Write these reasons and your ultimate goal down and read them often.
5. Plan it. A plan will help us achieve most anything more rapidly. Wouldn’t you like to reach your potential sooner than later? Then make a plan! Determine what you need to know and how you will learn it. Schedule time on your calendar. Think about the situations you want to practice in. Write your plan down and remember to include timelines. This is a real plan. While it may not be as elaborate as a business plan, it is every bit as important. This is your plan!
6. Start it. Get started already. You might actually start as early as step 2, but I include it here because the scoping, targeting and planning is important too. Whatever you are trying to develop will require time and effort. The toughest step though is often the first one, so get started!
7. Support it. You may need to find support from many people and in many places. One way is to have a mentor. If you know someone who excels at what you are trying to develop, ask them to mentor you. You can also get mentoring from people indirectly, by reading about their approaches, thought processes and ideas. (This is one great reason to read biographies and autobiographies.) Get support around you too. Find people close to you who will support your efforts and encourage, not discourage you. Identifying your support system early on helps you get started. Having the support will help you get p
