On occasion, businesses summarize their goals and objectives into either a mission statement or a vision statement or both. Some begin with the vision and mission in order to formulate their goals and objectives. But it must  be made clear that there's a difference between a vision statement and a mission statement. The vision statement describes the picture of the future desired goal, while the mission is the means of  successfully achieving the vision of the business. It should be noted that  for both the vision and the mission to be effective, they must be accepted as part of the business's way of operation. They must be assessed both internally and externally. When assessing internally, the assessment should focus on how every member of that particular business will interpret the mission statement. External assessment will include all the stakeholders of the business. This is particularly important because it will offer a different line of perspective of the business.

Values: These are the beliefs that are shared among the team of the business. Values drive the business's culture and priorities and provide a basis in which decisions are made. For example, "knowledge and skills are the key to success"or "give a man a fish and feed him for a day, but teach him to catch fish and feed him for ever." These maxims will set the priorities for self sufficiency over anything else. Strategy: This is a combination of goals for which the business is striving and the means by which it intends to get there. A strategy is sometimes called a 'road map' which is the path chosen, among other choices, to move towards the end goal. The most important part of implementing the strategy is to ensure that the business is moving in the right direction, that is towards the end goal.

What is strategic planning? It is basically a business's process of defining it's strategy, or direction and making  decisions on how the resources to pursue this strategy will be allocated. In order to determine the direction of your business, first of all  you must know its current position and the possible ways through which it can pursue a desired course of action.. Ideally, strategic planning can deal with one of the following three questions: 1. What do we do? 2. For whom do we do it? 3. How did we excel? In many organizations, this is seen as a process for delivering where the business is going over the next year or more. This can be 3-5 years, for long term or this can be over a period of 20 years. What are the key components of strategic planning? The key components of strategic planning include the total knowledge of the vision, mission, values and the strategies of the business. Vision: This looks at what the business wants to be or how it wants the environ

For, to have more you must first be more. For you to set out on the way to wealth and become a self made entrepreneurial millionaire, you will have to develop many qualities at a higher level than you ever had before.

You must practice the qualities of clarity, competence, creativity, concentration and continuous action until they are as natural to you as breathing.

The second and third workable principles ( the other principles to follow later) I learned that for anyone to be an achiever were: Competence: To be truly successful and happy, you must be very good at what you do. You must resolve to join the top 10 percent in your field.

Second, it must be an area where you have the potential to be the best, to be better than 90 percent of the people in your field. And third, your business must involve a product or service that can be profitable to enable you to achieve all your financial goals. According to the Harvard Business School, the most valuable assert a business ca develop is its reputation. Yo

Many people think that putting up a small business does not require much effort in comparison with a big company. May be if we do not take into consideration that our venture needs to give us a profit, we may be tempted to think on those lines. But then why start it in the first place because the energy, the capital would have been flushed down the drain. What a deliberate wastage. To start a business, whether big or small, requires a deliberate effort on the part of the entrepreneur. He or she will need to plan very well in order for the venture to be a successful one in all the necessary areas. From my own experience, I learned that for one to succeed, they must apply certain workable principles. These principles naturally guide the entrepreneur to move into a certain direction toward a set goal or goals. I learned that there are seven principles which must be followed in order to succeed. These have been taught and repeated in thousands of books and articles over many years, and h

What is passive income? Passive income can be defined as an income that you can receive on a regular basis, with little effort on your part to maintain. There are a number of examples of this kind of income, such as: 1. Rent from property. Your property earns you income every month or any period you agree upon with the one using it. The money to be paid is usually fixed. The only effort you make is an initial investment in form of the building. 2. Royalties from publishing a book or from licensing a patent or other form of intellectual property such as computer software products. 3. Earnings from internet advertisements on websites. 4. In some countries income from pension is also considered as passive income because  it does not require your presence to be realized apart from the initial effort that was made by contributing towards it during the time one was in gainful employment. 5. We also have dividend and interest income from owning securities such as stocks and bonds. 6.Ea

We could be wondering as to what is communication. Communication can be said to be the activity of passing information through the exchange of our thoughts, messages, or information by word of mouth, use of our eyes, signals, writing or our own behavior. For communication to take place, off course, there must be a sender, a message to send and some one to receive the intended message. But note that in this case it is not at all times that the one receiving the message must be present or aware of the sender's intent to communicate at the time of communication. Thus in this way, communication can take place across vast distances and space. Also note that communication requires that when people are communicating, they must have something in common to share. Once the receiver has understood the message of the sender, the communication process is complete. There's one important thing that someone sending the message must be aware of in order for the message to convey the intende

On many occasions in life, we wonder how some people are able to be so effective that life seems to be easy while some of us have to struggle to achieve whatever we desire. To be effective, you need to identify certain universal principles that will help you achieve your goals with less pain., and here they are: 1. Make An Effort To Be Proactive Take the initiative by realising that you are the major factor for you to be effective in your life.. Take responsibility for whatever choices you make. You must at the same time accept the consequences that follow after you have made the choices. 2. Start With The End In Mind Know who you are and make clear your deeply important charater values and your life goals. Visualise the ideal characteristics for each of your various roles and relationships in life. A mission statement is ideal in this situation. 3.

Your life is precious and you need to consider it as such. Make it move with joy and happiness, for that is it's purpose. How do you make it enjoyable in the clutter?. The surest way is by setting wonderful goals. Goals provide motivation to continue and they also give you the energy to succeed as well as the direction to follow. But before we start the journey, we must be aware of the obstacles that are likely to be obstructing our progress. There are obstacles such as fear to succeed. Are we prepared for the success that is likely to come, and if we are, how are we going to manage this change? Are we prepared to face the fear of rejection in case we did not succeed? Do we know how to set workable goals? Do we consider goals as being of value to our progress? Do we harbor negative emotions such as anger, self-pity, envy worse still jealousy? When you identify these limiting factors then proceed to ask yourself these other questions: 1. What are the ideal solutions to each of

Do you have faith that whatever you intend doing will succeed, especially when there is no assurance that it's possible? If you are, you are wonderful. This is because 80% of us  are made to believe that success can only come to you if you are lucky or something. As a result they have decided to settle for a second  place. Something that shouldn't have happened in the first place. In most cases they tend to question their abilities. This kind of belief  is found in many places, at work, at school, in business, at home or whatever place you can talk about. As a result of this questioning and acceptance by those on whom this label is put, there will be a general belief that they are not capable. This is a mistake. Each one of us has abilities that can change our situations for the better. The first thing you must do is to change your thoughts and change your beliefs. If you continue with your old thoughts and beliefs, you will surely continue getting the same results. Beliefs

You will notice that as we go through life in our every day activities, there are some moments when we are really down. This normally happens when we seem to reach a dead end in what we anticipated to do. It may be that you wanted to set up a small online business. You did all the planning. You raised all that was required to set up a business.May be you came to the idea of setting up the business because you felt that you were now ready, after successfully completing a short course in business management. Confidently you put up all the tools in place. But from the word go, things started showing up in a bad form. Each day your business recorded very bad losses. You made a spirited attempt to keep it afloat but to no avail. May be you were aspiring for a rise in your salary at work. How ever, you could not get it because you were supposed to get a certain condition right before your salary was considered. Getting a higher professional qualification, was the catch.
