Guest post by: David Flannery

Article Overview: As a project is coming close to the end, your energy, and that of your team will start to wane. This is the exact time when things can go off the rails and the project fails to be implemented. The other problem towards the end of a project is that people, whose tasks are completed before everyone else, will begin to lose interest in the project. It is entirely possible that the only person at this point of the project implementation, who is completely interested in the completion of the project...is you! It is up to you as the business owner/ manager to keep people interested in getting the project finished and implemented successfully. The easiest way to do this is organise a close event.

12 Steps to Implementing Anything in Your Business : Steps Eleven &Twelve: Create and Manage a Final Push Towards the End...

As a project is coming close to the end, your energy, and that of your team will start to wane. This is the exact time when things can go off the rails and the project fails to be implemented.

The other problem towards the end of a project is that people, whose tasks are completed before everyone else, will begin to lose interest in the project. It is entirely possible that the only person at this point of the project implementation, who is completely interested in the completion of the project...is you!

It is up to you as the business owner/ manager to keep people interested in getting the project finished and implemented successfully. The easiest way to do this is organise a close event.

A close event is not a boring progress report meeting which will do little to invigorate your staff. It is a meeting detailing why the project was started in the first place, and the goal of what you all were trying accomplish. Let them know that the final date for implementation of the project is close and outline what is required from them for the final push towards getting a successful result.

Make this event as exciting as possible, just as the start of the project implementation phase started with an exciting launch, the end should be closed with an exciting close.

The 12th step is very simple, just document what you have learned while implementing the first eleven steps, document what worked, what didn't work, your challenges and your mistakes and how you overcame your mistakes. Then use all that new knowledge when you're a going to implement another project in your business.

Re: Drop out Billionaire Re: Drop out Billionaire - I reveived Bill Bartmann's DVD "9 Steps To Achieve Any Goal" as part of my monthly pack from Success University a few months back. It is a great presentation. I've watched it several times but not for a while so I'll view it again in the coming week. He is one of the greats. Like the best success mentors, he speaks with authority because he has come through much tribulation. His program sounds like a great bargain at $100 a year.

Re: Success Re: Success - I study success intently, and would like to share: Here's two excellent and nearly identical success-formulas from a couple of the world's masters. FIRST FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Clear, Definite Purpose 3. Committed Decision 4. Take Action In Faith (Bonus Secret Sauce: 5. Repeat Consistently) I made a video about this, but am not allowed to link it yet. Google "Ryze Success Steps" for it. Oh, and this is Napoleon Hill's (Master Of Success Laws)'s Formula. SECOND FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Understand It Is Already Done (Faith) 3. Relax & Allow It To Unfold (Go about your life calmly) This one is courtesy of Abraham-Hicks (inspiration for the movie The Secret). Hope that helps!
My entry My entry - 1.

The Big Book of Small Business: You Don't Have to Run Your Business by the Seat of Your Pants, by Tom Gegax. Ditto. 3. PADI: The Business of Diving Book Okay, so this book won't be of use to anyone who doesn't want to start a scuba store, but I did, and this book was of course invaluable to me in reaching that goal.
Success Strategies 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
