How to Demonstrate Commitment to Others

Commitment is a core value that is endearing and enduring to others. It reflects other values like trust, honesty and integrity. To do as you say you would, is a demonstration of commitment. It is also an expression of one’s goals and ideals.

Commitment is often to a person, cause or a discipline. We can be committed to all our relationships, beliefs, values, hobbies, and art. To commit is to stay true to a cause, even if there may be no direct, reciprocal return on our mental and emotional investment.

Here are ways that we can demonstrate commitment in our daily lives:

1) Go green. Reduce, re-use, re-cycle, and review your practices constantly.

2) Go car-free. Take public transport at least once a week. Or commit yourself to cycling or walking to work.

3) Be vegetarian once a week.

4) Serve others. Serve everyone. Hard Rock Café’s mantra is ‘Love all. Serve all.’

5) Commit to our promises and offerings to our customers. Avoid ‘buyer’s remorse’ at all cost – it is costly.

6) Deliver on our ‘follow up’ and ‘follow through’. Send a summary of your meeting, and follow up further with the ‘actionable items’ within the prescribed time.

7) Demonstrate our beliefs and values through our actions and behaviors.

8) Live your company’s core values, and demonstrate them in simple ways. Core values are the heart of your business. Learn from Starbuck’s Howard Schulz, and ‘Pour your heart into every cup.’

9) Work with your staff. Work for your staff. Commit to staff, and they will stay committed to our company’s cause.

10) Remove disappointments and inconsistencies from your business, and you can mine commitment from those around you.

Re: What Franchisors Want From Franchisees - Kevin - Here's a rough summary of your questions. Your credit score - below 600's and you're considered high risk. Best if you are in the high 600's and above... if you're in 700's you're golden. Franchisers want to see people who can relate to other people. If you are very shy or you dislike working with the public, then this can count against you. Even if you can fake it... why would you bother? Great customer service is a benchmark any business owner should strive for... Financing arrangements will vary - if you can show that you have 20% above all of your start-up costs, this would help. The more assets you own the better. Motivation can be expressed in HOW you plan the start-up. It's all in the details. Are you taking the opportunity seriously? Are you learning and studying business attributes like marketing, salesmanship, and customer service? Demonstrate that you are motivated. Subscribing to their system would be about following their rules. If you have a maverick mentality... then consider starting your own business where you make the rules... not a franchise. Franchisers have different ways in how they evaluate their prospects. Your professional background or history can play an important role in the final evaluation. This is really about common sense...

Success Strategies - How to get the results you want now? Success Strategies and Action Steps I have used are: The Power of Choice Where you are at this present moment, is exactly perfect from the choices you have made. If you want to be somewhere else, you have to decide clearly what that is (your goal/outcome) and create action steps to achieve this. The Power of Focus The book "The Power of Focus" by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt, is one of my treasures in my Entrepreneur Library. If you focus on what you want versus what you do not want, your conscious and sub-conscious mind will direct attention to this. The movie, What the Bleep, Down the Rabbit Hole, explains this in detail about quantum physics and what we create in our lives. The Power of Commitment This is not about commitment to others. The first step is the commitment, your word, you make to yourself. Accountability and responsibility are additional success strategies and ingredients to creating the success, defined by you, that you want. The commitment to others reflects your integrity, your word and the team you work with. Co-workers, clients, yoru family, friends and community. My Success Acronyn in Success Breakthroughs(c) is: S pecific & self-directed U nlimited opportunities & possibilities C reate powerful outcomes C onsistent measureable results E xperience pwoerful transformation S olution and action-oriented S uccessful habits and outcomes Break Through to Powerful LIfestyle & Performance Choices Moira
Re: Training and Self Development - Lets dust this one off Offline, budget and TIME, I feel are the reasons Training and Development take a second seat to building your business. Few start ups business have employees and the 1 or 2 partners are busy getting their business off the ground so the loss of 1 to training is a loss of a working partner Start ups are seldom well capitalized until they reach a certain growth and can offer proof of their business model to Angel or Venture Capital Funding - then they have to perform to meet the requirements of the funder. Angel are more ideal because they understand the important of personal development and often may be the source of your further development and training Offline Chamber of Commerce and related organizations offer training, but normally during your business hours and a often at a cost prohibitive for a start-up - I started a dozen companies and never had time or budget for such offerings - SO WHAT IS WRONG THE LIBRARY? Obviously that comment and I were before the INTERNET. So now we have both the LIBRARY and the INTERNET to source our training - FREE I start every Business Plan and Marketing workshop with a personal NEEDS ANALYSIS. We are looking for entrepreneur suitability, skill sets, etc, While Passion, Confidence, Attitude and Commitment are more difficult to change in a workshop - Awareness can be heightened, Take aways include a personal development plan. Yes would be Entrepreneurs can be trained to be entrepreneurs, but the person has to be open to assessment and honest in identifying their shortfalls. Better still Entrepreneurship is not an end itself as the business grows - either train yourself or turn the company over to corporate guru. How many companies ultimately fail because the entrepreneur would not turn lose of the reigns Be honest with your needs, take time for your needs development! INTERNET INTERNET, where you when I went to college? YOU can do learn and do anything and with the INTERNET and FORUMS such as this are ideal for LEARNING your TRADE Budget, what budget, EXPERTS here share and help you for FREE, all your need it TIME
How to move forward in business - Every man or woman wants to move forward in life. We want to move from the level; we are to higher lever. This takes conscious efforts and massive actions on our part. We have to work it out by ourselves. You are the only one that can make it happen nobody will do it for you. How to work on moving higher from the level you are right now depended on no one but you. We are living in an age where we can outsource anything, but my friend; there are many things you cannot contract out for people to do for you. No one will go to the toilet for you. You are to take 100% responsibility to move to the higher level. Your level of achievements, the quality of your relationship with people and the state of your health depends on you. You have to be dissatisfied with the level you are to make it work. Someone living in a comfort zone and enjoying it will never want to move forward in life. You have to be dissatisfied with the amount of money you are earning, dissatisfied with have no money and not be able to do something nice of buy something good for yourself. You have to be dissatisfied with your achievements if you really to want to jump higher. Someone said insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expect different results. So for you to move higher, you have to change the way of doing things. Improve on the things you have been doing before that makes you to be where you are. If you have been making five phone calls to clients everyday now, increase it to ten. If you have been saving $10 every month increase it to $20. If your level of education is the reason why you are where you are, go back to school. You have the time to do it, reduce the time you spend in front of the television, browsing through unnecessary websites and chatting on your phone. Decide on what you really want and why you want to work on moving higher. Clarify what you want and make a list of them. Then set goals on how to achieve them. Make a commitment to do something about your goal daily. Successful people give no excuse to fulfil their everyday action plans. Commitment gives no room for an excuse. If you determine to run 5 kilometres, every day, do it every day, no matter where you are and the circumstances of the weather around you. There is a motivational speaker in USA, who made a commitment of ruining 8 miles every day. He started 30 years ago and ran every day without fail. He was known to run up and down airplane aisles during international flights and running up and down hotel staircase in winter. How to work on moving higher might not be easy when you first start, but it is worth every effort you put into it. It pays at the end, because you will see your new level of growth and achievements and be happy.
