Potential: Are You Using Yours?

Astronomers recently discovered that there are three times as many stars in the universe than was previously thought.

Up till now, they have seriously underestimated the number of other suns in other galaxies – and that means there must be many more planets orbiting them where other life forms might exist. Mind blowing!

Which got me thinking...where are you seriously underestimating yourself?

I see it all too often in people -I can see their amazing potential, their strong qualities, their unique way of looking at the world, yet they stay stuck in old, tired habits that aren't fulfilling them.

Here's how to see the three times as many stars in your personal universe that you just might be overlooking!

1. Make a decision.

Want to have a six figure income? A lighter body? A meaningful relationship? Decide today that you will have that and that nothing will stop you.

2. Get clear.

80% of your success comes from being absolutely clear about what you want to accomplish.

3. Plan every day in advance.

This simple habit is a practice every successful person uses.

4. Use simple project planning.

What does the end look like? What steps have to be done to get there? Organize the list of steps by priority and sequence. Be accountable to someone else for getting the steps done. Delegate what you can and hold others accountable.

5. Follow the 80/20 rule.

Make your first activities of the day be the 20% vital ones that will contribute 80% of the value to you.

6. Focus and concentrate without distraction on the most important thing you need to accomplish and stay with it till i's done. If it's a large task, break it down into doable chunks so that you can complete one piece at each sitting.

When you apply these practices and accomplish major things -you generate amazing feelings of well being. You'll be happy and energized and motivated to take on the next task. And you will see that there is indeed an amazing bounty of all good in your universe just waiting for you to reach out and take it.

Re: Cold Calling - In my experience the problem with hiring cold callers is that many of the successful candidates already realize that they have a talent for sales and are already working for themselves. Most of the candidates that would take a job cold calling most likely do not have solid selling or client service skills. I used to work for a brokerage firm in Victoria and we hired co-op students to cold call. In my opinion that was a mistake. Potential clients can sense inexperience very quickly and without a seasoned cold caller on your team prospecting will be very challenging.....the key is to find someone with skills that isn't already doing there own selling....tricky. Good luck Phil
Re: Hi From START.ac CrowdFunding - Hi Mal, I would love to explain a little further. START(dot)ac is a new International CrowdFunding website, and we are launching this May 2012. CrowdFunding is when a large number of people each contribute a small amount of money to fund a project. We are forming a website to host these projects on, and building a strong and large community of individuals who are interested in helping the "next big thing" be a success. Imagine if you were there for the beginning of Google or Apple, and your donations of $1 or $500 helped to bring it to life! Along with major bragging rights, if a project is successful, people who funded it get rewards depending on how much money they gave the project. At the summary level - We expands the CrowdFunding market to make a home for startup businesses and technology products. STARTac is the professional CrowdFunding site for startups and tech products. We also accept projects in many other categories (listed at the bottom). We have made nine innovations that improve upon the status quo in CrowdFunding. One is that we have inverted the selection process of projects. Potential projects go into CrowdAudition™, where our members give feedback and advice to improve the projects where relevant. The members' input plays a key role in selection of which projects go to funding. Taking this approach also means that rejected project' drivers know why they were rejected, and can better decide if and how to improve their current project, or start from scratch. We are assembling a bench of Mentors - experienced entrepreneurs and executives who want to help the new guys avoid the mistakes they made. Please let me know what you think. When we launch we will be revealing all of our nine innovative programs to the public. We are also looking for projects to host on our website for when we launch. These projects will get extra media attention and publicity throughout our social media. If you have any other questions, PLEASE feel free to ask! The categories of projects we accept are below: Art Comics Dance Design Do Good (altruistic projects) Fashion Film Food Gadgets Games Invention Kids (Youth-driven projects) Music Photography Products Publishing Small Business Start-Ups Social Enterprise (aka Social Business) Sports Technology Theater Toys Transmedia (anything that doesn’t fit into Art, Film & Video, or Photography) Writing (any writing that is not published as a book) Other
Manufacture of POTATO Flour / POTATO Powder - Manufacture of POTATO Flour / POTATO Powder About Project Setting up of a unit for manufacture of potato powder About Product and its use: Potato powder is increasingly being used in a variety of food preparations like snack foods (Mc Donald, Pringle, Haldiram namkeens etc.), soups, curries and other dishes as a thickening agent. Its use at present is mainly in hotels, restaurants, but acceptance in household is growing due to its inclusion in items like ready to cook soups, dals, curries, etc. Market Potential: The potato powder is supplied in bulk to the manufacturers of the various snack food items and restaurants/ hotels. The major demand is in cities like Mumbai, Delhi , Chennai, Nagpur , etc. The demand is much more than the supply at present and is likely to grow with the increasing popularity of the snack foods and other items where potato powder is used as input. There is good potential for its export also. Production process and technology: Procurement of potato -> Washing -> Cooking -> Pulping -> Drum drying -> Potato Powder -> Packaging -> Marketing The plant and machinery can be used for producing other products like fruit powder, tomato powder, etc. Key risk factors: Availability of adequate quantity of suitable chip varieties, which are used for powder making (like Kufri Jyoti, Kufri Chipsona) is the major factor which could affect the project. Availability of alternatives to potato powder for thickening like tapioca, corn starch etc., could affect the market of potato powder adversely. However at present there is no problem Quality control and Statutory Requirements The unit need to obtain a licence under FPO 1955 from the Ministry of Food Processing Industry Clearance from State Pollution Control Board Capacity of processing raw material (potato): a) Indigenous technology - 32 MT/ day of potato for 90 days per annum. b) Imported technology - 96 MT/ day of potato for 90 days Capacity utilisation is assumed on 90 days basis as the storage facilities for these varieties are not commonly available. However, capacity utilisation can be increased if the existing cold storages are modified suitably with an additional investment of about Rs 2000/ MT. Potato powder recovery: 17% of the raw material. Cost of raw material (potato): Rs 2500 per MT, Sale price of powder: Rs. 55000/ MT. Manpower requirement: a) Indigenous technology: Skilled and trained - 2 Nos; Unskilled - 3 Nos b) Imported technology: Technical - 2 Nos; Skilled - 2 Nos; Semi-skilled - 3 Nos. Power requirement: a) Indigenous technology: 40 HP b) Imported technology: 60 HP Water requirement: a) Indigenous technology: 1,50,000 litres per day. b) Imported technology: 5,00,000 litres per day.
