The Real Truth About Working Smarter, Not Harder
by: Lorraine Pirihi
Running a business or department can often stretch you to the limit.
To be effective at doing what you do best, it's imperative to look at what tasks you can either delegate or outsource.
Delegating
This is an interesting word. For some people it means completely letting go of their responsibilities and getting someone else to do the work. Now that's all well and good providing that you train that person on how you've been handling those tasks. Show them how it's been done first.
For many business owners and managers, delegating means completely abdicating all responsibility for a particular task to somebody else (read full article) |

Are You A Work Addict?
by: Lorraine Pirihi
Work addiction is very common in our society today, yet it is not one that is not highly recognised.
An interesting article in the March edition of The Success Report published by Success Technologies stated:
"Of all the addictions receiving attention today (including alcohol, drugs, gambling and food) work addiction is perhaps the least recognised and possibly the most dangerous.
This is because a work addiction is a compulsion that is rewarded and reinforced by society. In particular, it's rewarded by corporations that encourage overwork as the norm. The lure of work is increasing as innovative, flexible companies use and reward fewer pe (read full article) |

Are You Worth Investing In?
by: Lorraine Pirihi
Do you realise that if you're green you're growing and if you're ripe you're rotten? So says Winston Marsh, Business Marketing Guru in his recent newsletter.
Here's and excerpt from it ...
"Over the last week or so I have been presenting a series of seminars for MYOB throughout New Zealand and I have made an amazing discovery.
Most people would rather service their car than service their brain!
Now what do I mean by this? Well, quite simply, nobody gives a second thought to putting their car in for service or to get it fixed. They might moan and groan about the cost but they'll still do it.
Why?
Because they need their car to get ar (read full article) |

Work From Home And Get More Done!
by: Lorraine Pirihi
Working from home can be a most effective way to be more productive!
Today's open plan offices stop many people from getting their work done. The constant noise, phones ringing and colleagues interrupting can drive anyone to distraction!
Many people would dramatically boost their productivity if they could spend some or all of their working week out of the main office and join the thousands of small business owners who work from home.
However there are a few rules you need to follow to do this successfully:
Establish a Routine
Decide on a starting and finishing time. Include breaks.
Plan Your Day

Clients…Do You Really Need Them?
by: Lorraine Pirihi
Running a successful business takes a lot of energy and there are so many areas that as a business owner you need to pay attention too.
It's not enough to spend heaps of time, money and resources into getting buyers for your goods and services and then leaving those clients/customers to their own devices.
If you want to work less, have more time and make more money one very important aspect you have to take care of on an ongoing basis is nurturing those people who are prepared to spend their money with you.
You cannot afford to take their money, sell the goods or perform the services and then hope they will call you when they ne (read full article) |

Why Men Lie and Women Cry
by: Lorraine Pirihi
I've just finished reading a great book by Allan and Barbara Pease entitled "Why Men Lie and Women Cry". A true and humorous account of the differences between the sexes and full of practical ways to communicate effectively.
I've enjoyed the book so much and felt it will be of great benefit to all of you that I just had to write up an extract from it:
Women Talk, Talk and Talk
" When a woman talks she often uses indirect speech. This means she hints at what she wants or infers things.
Women's indirect speech has a purpose - it builds relationships and rapport with other by avoiding aggression, confrontation or discord.

Get Organised Before It's Too Late
by: Lorraine Pirihi
Last year I attended a presentation from Parenting Expert and well-known author, Stephen Biddulph on "Raising Boys". As I have an 11 year old son, I was interested to hear what Stephen had to say. In fact, so were the other 800 other parents in the room!
The key point that I picked up on was that boys from the age of 6 -14 really need 'time' with their dads. That is the most influential period in their lives when they bond with him. And the type of time they need is not all thrown into a once a week or month block or some exotic holiday once a year, they need to spend time with their sons on a regular basis.

Preparing For Your Success
by: Lorraine Pirihi
When is the best time to prepare for your success in life?
What's that you say? " I have to actually have to prepare for it? Doesn't success just happen?"
No. It doesn't. If you want to improve your life you have to take the action.
An article by Jim Rohn who is a well-known motivational speaker said:
"Here's the great challenge of life. You can have more than you've got because you can become more than you are.
I have found that income seldom will exceed your own personal development. Once in a while income takes a lucky jump, but unless you grow out to where it is, it will go back to where you are.

Proven Secrets to Keeping Your People and Increasing Your Profits
by: Lorraine Pirihi
Why are people changing jobs so quickly these days?
Here are a few reasons why:
They have a boring job therefore they feel they are not achieving anything.
They have no leader to follow.
They feel unappreciated.
They work long hours and want a life.
They are not paid what they are worth.
The above reasons are not taken from any figures or facts stated in publications and general media. This is what the people themselves tell me. They are the words from the coal face, real people…managers, personal assistants, administrative staff, sales people; regular run-of-the mill people.

Steering Your Way To Wealth
by: News Canada
(NC)-When it comes to growing your net worth, one of the vehicles capable of moving you along the road to wealth is your investments. A roadmap, in the form of a good financial plan, and 'directions' from a knowledgeable financial adviser, can come in handy, too.
"Once someone has decided to invest, there are many options," explains Anita Prescott, a Winnipeg-based certified financial planner (CFP) and financial adviser with CIBC Imperial Service. "One of the earliest and most significant decisions an investor has to make is how active a role they wish to play in investing." Prescott returns to the road to explain some of the options:
