SUCCESS means different things to different
people. One finds success in the ability to pay
her bills without being late and opening a savings
account. One finds success in the Bridal room
preparing brides for their special day. And one
finds success behind the runways in Milan.
What is SUCCESS to you?
Not someone else's version of success, but your
own personal vision.
I figured CUT would be appropriate and easy to
remember. Let's break it down to find The Best
Hair Stylist inside you.
C is for Commitment .
We all have priorities in life. If you are in your
late teens to early 20's chances are that your
priorities, for now, are your social ties and
maybe education. As you mature your priorities
will go to family and earning a living.
We have commitment to our top priorities in life.
Do you know that feeling you get when nothing
will stop you from seeing your boyfriend or
girlfriend? It's that strong pull you feel inside
and you won't allow anything to stop you from
seeing them, right? You will sacrifice sleep,
money, family commitments, just about anything
to achieve your objective of getting to them.
THAT is what I mean by commitment!
Step One of the Formula for Success is making
your beauty career a top priority.
You have to want success in your career as badly
as you want love.
You have to make it a focus in your life, a
complete dedication to the attainment of success
(of what success means to YOU).
Without commitment you will fail to achieve your
personal success. I mean that with all my heart.
Ever tried to quit smoking or lose weight? Then
you know what I'm talking about.
"I'm going to try" or "I'm thinking about doing.."
or "I'm really trying" is NOT ever going to work.
As Yoda said, "There is no try. Only do or not
do."
I will tell you, my friend, WITH COMMITMENT
anything is possible and your success is
guaranteed!
Because like love, you will allow nothing to get in
your way!

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.

26/02/2016

Would you like me to give you a formula
for success? It's quite simple, really: Double
your rate of failure. You are thinking of
failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't
at all. You can be discouraged by failure or
you can learn from it, so go ahead and make
mistakes. Make all you can. Because
remember that's where you will find
success.

No matter how many times you get knocked down, keep getting back up. God sees your resolve. He sees your determination. And when you do everything you can do, that’s when God will step in and do what you can’t do

5 Simple Ways to Start a Small Business

1. Do something you love

If you’re wondering what type of small business to start, often the best thing is to identify what your passions are. Do you enjoy making jewellery, sewing, pottery, gardening, painting, working with animals, or have a keen eye for photography or a love for antiques?

Taking a passion and turning it into a business is one of the best reasons to start a business. Businesses that are driven by passion and enjoyment are the ones that stand a good chance of succeeding. Customers are more inclined to buy from someone who is excited about their product or service.

2. Identify a gap in the market

Lere Mgayiya lives in South Africa. He always felt the pull towards an entrepreneurial life. With some money he won in a TV competition for budding entrepreneurs, he started a business which, unfortunately, failed. Having lost the money from the competition and being viewed as a failure by friends and family, Lere hit rock bottom.

One day, sitting in a market square, he observed someone who was shining people’s shoes, when he had a lightbulb moment. He realised that this type of venture would be best suited at an airport.

With a mere R1,500 (± $140) borrowed from his mother, and after selling his television, radio and fridge for another R10,000 (± $940), he ordered two wooden chairs from a carpenter. After waiting a year for approval from the airport, he finally launched his shoe-shining business.

Today, Lere has a branch in five of South Africa’s airports and employs around 44 staff.

That’s an amazing story and has a few lessons to teach us:
•Business ideas and opportunities are everywhere; you just need to identify them and then have dogged determination to make it work.
•Failing is part of the entrepreneurial journey. What is important is to try again.
•It is possible to start a business with little or no money. This story certainly shows that where there’s a will, there’s a way!

3. Become a consultant or an independent contractor

Are you a marketing guru, PR whiz, genius accountant or have experience in management consulting? Why work for someone else? Put your skills to use as a consultant or independent contractor.

Consultants are paid very good rates to impart their advice, knowledge and expertise. In most cases, they are paid to analyse a situation, identify problems and recommend solutions. They do not do the work itself.

Even fashionistas can make a business out of their love for fashion by becoming an image consultant.

4. Freelance

Many writers, graphic designers, web designers and techies are going out on their own. When companies downsize and cut staff, they often turn to freelancers.

Freelancing has become a growing trend and an increasingly popular way of earning a living over the past few years. Statistics estimate that forty percent of the US workforce will consist of freelancers, part-time workers and contractors by 2020.

Freelancing is one of those business options with a low start-up cost. A computer, an Internet connection, a cellphone, a desk and some stationery is all you need, and you’re good to go!

5. Start an online business

For those who love the digital world, the Internet has opened up a plethora of ways to make money, and again, start-up costs are low – a computer, an internet connection and a website are all you need.

Online businesses include some of the following:
•Selling a service such as coaching. Evan Marc Katz makes a full-time living as a dating coach and does most of it remotely. Pooja Lohana offers life coaching and, for her international clients, simply conducts sessions over Skype.
•Creating an online course.
•Writing e-books (fiction or non-fiction). Both can be self-published and sold online.
•Selling goods online through platforms such as eBay, Amazon and Etsy.
•Creating a unique or useful product and selling it on your website.
•Designing apps.
•Blogging.

All of the above options require a ton of work. Don’t be fooled by the many false claims out there that you can make a quick buck overnight. You can make plenty of money online, but you need to be smart about it. You also need to watch out for Internet scams. It’s a sad fact that most online businesses tank, mostly because the wannabe online entrepreneur bought into the false idea that making money online is easy and went about it the wrong way.

The key behind almost every successful online business is offering a service or product that helps others, fulfils a need or solves a problem.

Do your homework on how to build a successful online business before you take the plunge. If executed properly, an online business can be very lucrative and can create some passive income.

How To Improve Your Interview Confidence

Interviews naturally cause most of us some anxiety - which can be particularly extreme if you're considering a meeting which is especially important, perhaps because it's for a 'dream' role, or because you're out of work or concerned about being laid off from your current role. Unfortunately, this anxiety can put a massive dent in your confidence, and even the most happy-go-lucky individual can become a nervy interviewee.
Taking a knock to your confidence before an interview can make the experience difficult, and actually become a damaging and self fulfilling prophesy - your worries that it won't go well, can actually make you perform worse in the interview itself. If you're concerned about building or maintaining your confidence before a big date, try these ideas.
Practice
The best way to feel confident about interviewing is to practise. This might take the form of mock interviews with a trusted friend or family member, or even just rehearsing your model answers in front of the mirror. If you're practising with another person, try to find someone who has some interview or sector experience, and - crucially - someone who will give you honest feedback.
Invest some time in thinking about the likely interview questions and working out how you will 'tell your story' if you're asked to simply talk through your CV. Depending on your personal preferences and style, you might find it beneficial to physically write or type up model questions and answers, and practise using them. However you do it, having a few key questions planned out is a smart move, and should help you feel more confident about your abilities in interview.
Visualise
If you're still struggling with confidence, ask yourself, what's the worst that can happen? Thinking through the disaster scenarios might help you see them for the far flung, inflated and unlikely eventualities that they are. You might freeze up - but you can have a plan to overcome this, such as using an NLP anchor (see below); you might misunderstand or mishear a question - but you can always have some set phrases ready to allow you to gracefully ask the interviewer to clarify; you might trip up and pour coffee all down your interviewer's new suit - but if you're really, genuinely worried about this, you can always stick to a bottle of water.
Once you've worked through your worries and worst case scenarios, and reduced them to their appropriate size, it is time to visualise a successful outcome. Think about the moment you meet your interviewer - you will step forward, smile and shake hands; and the rapport you are building will help you feel at ease. Think about some comments to break the ice in the lift or on the walk to the room, whether that's to mention a mutual acquaintance or a previous visit to the area; and the opportunity to start to feel tense just before the interview diminishes. Have a few techniques up your sleeve that you can rely to boost your confidence at critical points in the meeting.
Use NLP anchors
Neuro-linguistic Programming can be a powerful tool to help you tap into your confidence when you need it. Using an 'anchor' involves recalling an emotion and anchoring the feeling in a way that can be called upon later. Try to think of an occasion on which you felt supremely confident and successful, and choose a discrete physical trigger or anchor, such as a small stamp of the foot, or click of the fingers, to associate that emotional response with. Practise making the physical movement and recalling the emotion so that they become innately associated in your subconscious. After time, the simple physical movement will immediately release the emotion you're looking for; in this case giving you a shot of confidence when you need it.
Embrace the emotions and go for it anyway
Finally, the last thing you can do is embrace the way you feel, rather than trying to hide or bury the emotional response. Acknowledge it, and allow yourself to move on; focus on the things that went well in previous interviews, make sure you're well rested and rehearsed, and go into your interview with your head held high.

4 Signs That You’re About To Get Fired

You find your job advertised online
Your boss asks you to write standard operating procedures for everything you do
Your day-to-day tasks slowly start getting reassigned to other people (or you’re asked to train others on how to do them ‘just in case’)
You’re not being invited to meetings that you used to be included in

What You Should Do About It

Schedule time on your boss’s calendar to speak with him or her. If they ask what the meeting is about, say that you are seeking guidance about an issue that is better addressed face to face than electronically. You don’t want to give your boss time to prepare for this conversation. You’re more likely to receive candid answers this way. If your boss has the ability to prepare for this discussion then you will probably receive canned, HR approved answers.

Once in the meeting with your boss: State that you are seeing signs that people typically associate with getting fired and that you would like your boss to clarify the situation for you. Now be quiet. Let silence be your weapon. If you’re anything like me, this will be the hardest part. But it will be well worth it. Just sit there and wait for their response. Be prepared for one of three of answers:

You are getting fired. They may give you a timeframe, or they could ask you to leave on the spot. If they do give you a timeframe and you want to stay, ask if it’s a performance related issue. If it is, try to negotiate being put on a performance improvement plan.
You may not be getting fired. The company is advertising because they hear that you are looking for employment elsewhere, or because they feel like your workload is too much for one person and they want to add another member to the team. Keep in mind that your boss may or may not be telling the truth.
You’re probably not getting fired. The department is pipelining because they plan on promoting you but want to have your successor lined up first. Could this also be a fib? That’s a pretty bold-faced lie if it is, and it could carry legal ramifications in some states.

No matter what your boss’s answer is, take the time to think before you reply. Make sure that your response is honest. If the company is firing you, do not say something that will burn this bridge. You should leverage this moment to ask your boss if he or she will be a positive reference for you during your job search. This is also a good time to lay the groundwork for future severance package negotiations

How to Set Priorities - 3 Steps For Taking Control of Your Time
If you are like many people, you are juggling a lot of things: your career or school, creative and personal development activities, your relationships, your health and wellness-not to mention having some fun once in a while! And when you have a lot to do, it is often hard to know what to do first. Moreover, if you spend most of your time in one area like your career or school, you may be feeling out of balance and resenting the fact that that you do not have time for anything else. You start to view time as your enemy and you find that your energy is sapped and your feel even more out of control. The key to getting yourself out of this cycle is to change your relationship to time and learn how to manage yourself around time.
First of all, let's remember what priorities are: short-term goals. These are the things that you want to accomplish in any given period of time. The more your goals represent your values, strengths and passions, the more likely you are to achieve them. The same thing goes for your priorities. A lot of people are stuck with to-do lists that have a lot of "shoulds" rather than their choices. Why not recreate your to-do list and have it reflect the things that represent your authentic choices?
In order to begin to manage time in a way that makes you feel in control, you can reset your priorities by following these three steps:
1. Be aware of how you are currently spending your time
The first step to changing your relationship to time is to assess how to spend your time. Write down all the things that you do. How much time do you spend in each area? The way you spend your time is a statement of what your priorities are.
2. Assess how satisfied you are with the way you are spending your time
Next, think about the most important areas of your life (e.g., career, relationships, personal development, finances, health, fun, service etc).
• Rate each area in terms of how important it is to you. Use a scale of 1-10 with 1 being "not important" and 10 being "vitally important.
• Now rate how well are you living each of these areas. How satisfied are you with the amount of time that you spend on this area? Rate this on a scale of 1-10.
Look back at those areas that you rated as very important (8, 9 or 10). If there is a gap of 2 or more points between how important an area is and your satisfaction rating, chances are that you are feeling a lack of balance because there is a gap between what is important to you and what you are actually doing.
3. Set new priorities to start doing more of the important things in your life
The third step to reordering your priorities is to figure out what important activities are missing from your life and As you review each question, right down the activities that come to mind.
1. What is the most important thing in my life right now?
2. Where would I want to spend more time?
3. Where would I want to spend less time?
4. What areas need my attention now (e.g., school, talent, health, relationship)?
Write down your activities in the order that feels most important to you. This is your new list of priorities.
Remember that your priorities can change in any given period of time. If there is something important on your list that you do not have time for right now, think about when you can slot that in. It's another way to take charge of time and feel in control.

Your reasons are your own. Many people dream of quitting their job and start their own business, but just as many (and perhaps even more) wait until things are a bit more established before handing in their two weeks notice. It might be a question of finances, or just as likely they want to make sure their idea is going to work. Whatever the reason, it is possible to launch a new business and keep your day job - at least initially. The secret, much like the fabled tortoise, is slow and steady wins the race.
Take Baby Steps
As a working entrepreneur, you need to take baby steps. Dont bite off more than you can chew at any one time. You dont have eight plus hours to devote to your idea like someone with no other job. You need to be selective. You need to identify the hundreds of little, and then medium, and then big things you need to do to move your small business closer to fruition. And then tackle them one at a time. Small tasks and goals are crucial at this stage because a) they are easy to complete in the time you have available, and b) the completion gives you a sense of accomplishment rather than frustration...you are making things happen.
Use Your Time Productively
Having a full-time job and starting a new business at the same time is less than ideal, but by no means impossible. You have so much time at your disposal. You just have to use it productively. Do not - I repeat do not - use company time to work on your endeavour. That is going to rub everyone (colleagues, supervisors, managers, admin) the wrong way. But you can use your time...work on something small (take baby steps) over your lunch and/or coffee break. Set your alarm for 30 (or even better, 60) minutes earlier every day and check something off your list. Stop watching television or surfing the net for four hours each night and instead use that time to finish a bigger task for your small business. The time is there...you just have to identify it and then use it. It will require sacrifices, but its worth it to move towards your dream while still maintaining the security of a regular paycheck. Make it work.
Get Help
A lot of entrepreneurs want to do everything alone, and without the constraints of a job, that might work for them. It wont for you. Seek help in every way one can: get advice and suggestions from people you admire, trust, and look up to. Delegate less important tasks to outside help utilizing low cost freelance assistance via Fiverr or Elance. Pay someone to do the things that you either dont know how to do, or dont have the time to do well. The cost is worth it to move things along and save your sanity.
Set Goals and Priorities
Related to the whole baby steps idea, make a list of short, mid, and long term goals. Rank them by importance and priority. And then start working on them however you can. If something has a deadline for whatever reason, then you know it must be a priority. Get it done. Other tasks can get attacked in whatever order you set. The important thing is to set a timeframe - but dont make it unrealistic or unreasonable - and chip away at it. Even working part-time, you need to have some sense of urgency. Otherwise, things may sit incomplete for weeks, months, years. Keep the pressure low, but not turned all the way off. Set a calendar with deadlines.
One Thing At a Time
As a gainfully employed entrepreneur, youll need to be mindful of burnout. Attempt to do too much, and youll fade away, explode, or both. Identify ONE thing at a time that needs to get done in the time you have (mornings before work, lunch and coffee breaks, and/or after work), and work on it until its done...however long that takes. Then, highlight the next most important thing to do, and start on it. Repeat until your list of tasks is done.
Train Yourself
Finally, identify the skills and expertise that youll need for your new business, and if you dont already have them, find ways to get them. Do it slowly over time. Maybe even add it to your list of goals and priorities. Take a night course. Take an online course. Buy a book or instruction manual. You can often find free online resources (including extensive courses and lessons) if you just take the time to look. Whatever you need to know, slowly find ways to learn.
How to Start Your Business Without Quitting Your Day Job
How to Launch a Business Without Quitting Your Day Job
How to Set Priorities
Keeping your job while launching your own business is a smart financial decision. It does demand a lot from you, though. But if you work at a decent pace, recognize your limitations, and systematically move towards completion of everything that needs to get done, youll arrive at the finish line before you know it...complete with a ready-to-launch business before you quit your day job. When you finally do quit that day job (after given whatever formal notice is required), you can walk out of that job and right into your own small business without any delay. And that is worth all the extra effort and headaches.
