How To Incorporate Personal Goals In Your Planner Subscribe  on  your favorite platform below: iTunes Google Play Music Stitcher Radio TuneIn iHeartRadio Sound Cloud QUESTION: Do you incorporate goals from all areas of life into your planner? Example, business, career, health, and fitness? If so, how do you go about doing this? Yes. Okay, so good question. So as far as looking every single page on my planner, I think personally too, its not just business, its not just career. And thats why I love this course too is because its covering not just your career but also your personal life too. So its definitely in my looking back section of my planner. Theres definitely things. What did work, what didnt work that I put in thats personal life. Its definitely in my vision journal. I think of things beyond just my business and my career. I think of my children and my family and things that I want to do, outside of just my career. Definitely in my annual plan because there is a section on, on the bottom of the annual plan that says personal goals. So I have an exercise goal. I have a weekly date goal with Mila and John. I have a business money goal and a personal money goal. So its definitely an annual goal when it comes to the 90-day plan. Oh, I do have it in my 90-day plan. I have a personal fund goal. Its all 30 60 90 days. I have a cleaning plan, spring break activities, playing summer activities. So it is in my like 90-day plan as well. And then every week, once we get into the weekly section theres a section for personal items and thats where I put like for here I have to get my mom a birthday present, and get invitations. Ive had that on my to-do list like for a long time cause Im throwing a shower for my new sister-in-law in August.   I have target returns that I have to do. This was during Easter. I had to create an Easter basket. And this is part of it too is like our lives are so intertwined, like work in life. A lot of you here have kids. Do you understand what I mean? Like I have mom-life, I have home life, classy career girl life. And its all intertwined because five minutes before this I was taking care of Mila and five minutes after this Im going to be taking care of Sienna. And so theres a lot to do, especially when you have kids.   Theres a lot of paperwork and kindergarten things. And so thats definitely every weekend putting together my personal to-dos. And then when it comes to every day I make use of all of the daily section and we havent really gone through the daily section. So I dont want to overwhelm you too much and I definitely dont want to overwhelm you by showing you my stuff. But a lot of times I use like the top section to put more personal stuff. So like sometimes if I have a really busy day on the top of the daily plan, Ill put like what I have to do that day and Im like, this is my schedule. And Ill also play like on the bottom, if Im like reading a book and I want to document a quote that I read or something that I want to document, then Ill put it on the bottom.   I also use it on top to track like goals. So this has like opt-ins we were collecting, we were getting opt-ins for something.   Like right now Im focused on our membership and Im focused on numbers and our   membership. So Ive been writing down like how many members we have every single day cause what you track increases, right? Or like what you focus on increases. And so to me having that goal every single day. Like when I was doing a webinar every day I would write down how many people signed up for the webinar. So its kind of whatever youre focusing on. If its like every week before the week starts, I write down the days that Im going to be going to the gym and thats as part of like the weekly review section and well get, well get more into the how I plan out the weeks and how, how to do your weekly review. But thats one thing that you definitely want to be thinking about too when you do your weekly review is your personal life goals too.   To me it all comes back to the beginning part, which is what were doing now. And that comes back to what your personal goals are. Like theres a section in your annual plan for three personal goals. And so thats what you can be thinking of. Like once we get to the annual plan in a couple of weeks, you can start to think of like what are those, you know, three personal goals that, that you want to have in your plan.   Its just putting those simple habits in your day. So thats what I have on the last page of your planner. Id recommend creating a daily checklist of things that you want to do every day.

Join A Site That Gives You Quality Content And Use It On Your Website

Join A Site That Gives You Quality Content And Use It On Your WebsiteIf you've been paying attention to the leading search engine technology companies in the world, you may have heard of a new player called www Genius Com. I will be honest with you, I didn't really think that I was going to find anything of value until I decided to take a closer look at it. For me, I've been using Google for many years now and for all that time, I can't say that I have ever seen anything that would give me an edge over what is out there right now. What makes me different from the majority of people is that I work in web marketing for a living.I use some of the same techniques as others but there are differences in how I do it and what my goal is when it comes to technical search engine optimization. In my opinion, the one that is most important to you is the quality of your content. The question is, how do you accomplish this?In this day and age, every single website that you have on the Internet wil l get indexed by the major search engines. This means that you need to be sure that you are writing quality, informative content if you want to give your website some value.When I started off, I was looking at the final level of optimization for my website, SEO. It wasn't until I started out that I realized that one of the best ways to give your website some quality content is by joining some type of membership site.The amount of content that you can deliver each month on your site is not enough by itself, even though it is a big part of the overall equation. What makes joining a membership site great is that you will never have to worry about putting together new content.You only get to write once for a period of time and then the site will provide you with a link to your next assignment. There is no limit on how many times you can write for a specific site.Another benefit is that when you join the site, they will give you a free blog of your own. This is good because you don't hav e to worry about writing, since it will be included as part of the cost of the site.When I first started out, I was looking for a way to increase the number of website visits to my websites. Well, when I learned that membership sites can do both, I was able to quickly increase the traffic to my websites.

Successful Internships

Successful Internships This week, Im proud to showcase a guest blog from one of my clients. Amy So you just received an offer for a great internship â€" great company, lots of smart people, everybody is friendly… this internship is going to shoot you to a full-time position with the company in no time! Right? Well dont be fooled by movies like the internship and think you could be the next Vince Vaughn or Owen Wilson. A full-time offer may be yours but only if you understand what this “internship” is really about. Okay, so let’s start with a quick True/False quiz: Your company hired you as a contribution to the community. They want to train you and make you a more marketable candidate for your next job. Your company hired you to do the mind-numbing administrative work that they don’t want an expensive employee to do. You will learn something at your internship. You can get fired from an internship for poor job performance. Your company is worried that you will require a lot of training just to do simple tasks. Here are the answers: all were true except the first one. If you find these statements a bit jarring then I’ve done my job. You see, I’ve hired a number of interns and managed them directly. I know how our executives view interns and I understand the motivations for attracting interns to work for us. Here’s my insight for interns to understand the internship and how to get the most out of one. Bring It Internships are not cushy jobs. You can’t just roll in when you want, you can’t take an hour for lunch and you can’t chat text with your friends all day. When you are at your internship you need to add value and show effort. This means putting your game face on and punching out your tasks and doing so efficiently, accurately and thoroughly. Figure out how to work with your manager Many times (especially in the beginning of your internship) you won’t be able to do your tasks quickly, accurately and thoroughly. You need to figure out the correct balance of asking for help and trying to do the task on your own. This is a function of the task you need to do but, more importantly, the expectations of your manager. One of the biggest intern mistakes, in my opinion, is not asking for clarification when you don’t understand the task. It isn’t easy to push back on your manager and press him or her for answers but it will be worth it when you deliver the task accurately and timely. That said, your manager also expects you to take a reasonable amount of time to try and figure out your steps. Your manager expects you to come to her/him with well thought out questions and what information you have already researched to understand the next steps. Which leads to the next bullet point. Learn to fish Don’t expect someone to walk you through every task. When you don’t know something, stop for a moment and think about it. Determine in sufficient detail what information you need and these questions: Can I find it on my own? Can I figure it out or make some assumptions? Where is the source of this information and how do I access that source? Don’t come to your manager and say, “oh, I couldn’t figure it out” or “could you show me how to do that”. The individual who punts’ the task back to their manager without sufficient research will not get a full-time offer at a competitive wage at the end of the internship. Be resourceful and try to figure something out. At least go out on a limb and make a decision. Present your option and explain your decision-making process. Your manager will at least see your effort, initiative and resourcefulness. Showing those attributes are actually more important than delivering the task (in the long run). Study the details If your goal is to get the task done then you are missing the point of doing the task. Each task you do is supposed to expose you to how your company operates, where information is kept and what goals your manager is driving towards. Look for those things in the tasks you do. One day your manager will give you a task and he’ll assume your know all of these things. Look for these answers. Know the details. Think like your manager. Be ready. Exceed Expectations Once, I asked one of my interns to put together a report for me. Instead of a spreadsheet with the data, he sent me a link to where I could find the data. This led me to a number of conclusions about this intern and his motivation level (whether or not they were true): He wasn’t listening to what I had to say. He didn’t seek clarification to understand what the deliverable was. He wasn’t focused on my problem, just his. He was lazy. He didn’t respect me. Any of those would be grounds to consider ending the internship. Even if the statements do not reflect his intentions, his behaviors led me to perceive those characteristics about him. Remember, perception is reality. Your behaviors will convey messages about you, your motivation, your character, how you might behave as a full-time employee. Let’s look at the other way of handling this request. Deliver the report with a detailed explanation of any assumptions or any challenges that may impact the report. Throw in some formatting so the data is easier to read. Come back within 1 minute of being assigned the task and ask your manager clarifying questions and ask your manager to confirm your approach to delivering the task. Do yourself a favor and ask all the questions at one time â€" don’t keep going back and interrupting your manager. Respect Your Time Your manager has at least 25 things she would like to hand-off to you on your first day. She may only give you one or two. Treat these with a sense of urgency and show your manager that you are being efficient with your time. If you have down time, it doesn’t mean that you can surf or leave early or make some personal calls. It is actually your chance to shine by delivering something your manager didn’t ask for. It’s also important to show your manager that you are thinking about what is best for the business. Go to your manager when you run into an inefficiency or have some downtime and demonstrate that you respect your time, her time and the company’s resources. Focus on building interpersonal relationships It seems that everyone, particularly college students, are addicted to constantly changing personal information. Texts, chats, posts, calls, emails, etc. continue to pop up on our computers and phones all day. It can be tough to ignore all these constant distractions, so keep your phone at a place that won’t distract you throughout the day. In fact, don’t bring your phone with you into a meeting unless it is absolutely necessary and, if it is, don’t check it constantly or take a non-urgent call. Employers view interpersonal communication skills, having a positive attitude and teamwork skill as being important or very important when hiring for entry-level positions. Engage in interpersonal communication skills with your co-workers and work to develop those relationships rather than using technology to keep in constant contact with your friends. Begin to focus on soft skills if you want to get that new job and excel in it. Write Everything Down When your manager gives you a task verbally, don’t assume that you’ll remember it. Write it down and make a habit of writing it down. Often your manager will give you a lot of detail on how to do the task or what the finished deliverable will look like. Also, your manager may start rattling off more than one task. When you don’t write it down your manager loses confidence that you’ll deliver what is needed. When you start a task, jot down the steps required in sufficient detail. If you have to repeat the task then you’ll have a great reference. Also, your manager will love it when you deliver a series of process documents at the end of your internship! Introduce Yourself You are the new person at the company. Everyone else has met in-person and regularly communicates. The way your co-workers interact with people is NOT how you should initially work with people you haven’t met. For example, if you need to find out where a deliverable is from a co-worker you’ve never met, don’t drop them an email asking for it. At least introduce yourself in the beginning of the email. Preferably, call them up, say “hello” and have a conversation. The benefit is that your co-worker will be more likely to help you, plus you’ll have a solid networking connection. Proactively manage communicate your task list Your manager wants to know that you are working hard and not wasting time resources. He or she would love a daily report of 1) what you did and 2) what you are going to do. Provide one on a daily basis until he/she suggests otherwise. This regular report will help you in a number of other ways: Show off all the work that you are doing Align with your manager and make sure you are working on what he/she wants you too Make it easier to update your resume with your internship accomplishments Show that you have mastered the easy/recurring tasks and that you are ready for a bigger challenge Know Your Job Description Review the job description and understand what is expected of you. You need to understand if your internship is still on track and you need to understand if you are doing what you are supposed to. If you get a task that seems out of alignment, ask your manager for clarification. What really makes a manager’ day is when you suggest a task/project that would help your manager AND falls under the responsibility of your job description! Tell them you want the job Your internship is a recurring interview. Every day your manager and co-workers will wonder if they would like to work with you full-time. Thus, treat each day like it was your only interview. That includes telling them you want this job even if you arent sure and arent overly thrilled with this job. Keep in mind that your situation may be very different when it is time to start looking for a full-time job or your next internship. It may be your best option. Plus you may realize this is the job is you really want to do! Considering those scenarios, make sure your boss knows you want the job. Any indication you dont want a full-time job or that you are dissatisfied, in any way, and your manager may just write you off for anything more than your internship.
