The One Surefire Way To Succeed In 2018

The One Surefire Way To Succeed In 2018 | Tidbits, titbits or tipbits? | Scoop.it
From www.fastcompany.com - November 29, 2017 4:13 PM

Let’s not waste any time. The simple solution that we’re all looking for: It doesn’t exist. Want your business to thrive like Amazon’s? Want to emulate Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg? Follow the road map of Nike or Warby Parker to build the next brand that matters? Sorry, it doesn’t work that way. What succeeded for them may not work for you. Too bad. Get over it.

 

One-size-fits-all strategies just aren’t effective in today’s age of flux (and maybe they never were). That’s one of the insightful messages in senior writer Austin Carr’s feature The Future of Retail in the Age of Amazon. It’s become common practice to refer to billion-dollar startups as “unicorns,” but there is no more one-of-a-kind business than Amazon: hard-driving, customer-focused, yet broadly directed, from books and groceries to entertainment, consumer electronics, and web services. Carr explains that competing with Amazon today–trying to beat it at its own game–is largely a fool’s errand. Instead, what increasingly defines retail success, and points the way toward the businesses of tomorrow, is a bespoke model, one that is crafted to deliver on a focused need, proposition, or brand essence.

7 Simple Things Successful People Do Every Night

7 Simple Things Successful People Do Every Night | Tidbits, titbits or tipbits? | Scoop.it
From www.inc.com - January 22, 2017 4:09 PM

How you spend your night can have a huge impact on the day that follows. Do you spend your time ruminating over issues? Or maybe you stress over something that didn't quite go right during the day. There's no doubt, how you think affects how you feel. This is particularly important at night as you try to unwind and prepare for rest. This sets you up for sleep which serves many vital purposes. When I look at my clients who achieve the most during their days and are happiest, they are the ones who have a healthy routine at night. They set themselves up for success the following day by thinking and acting in a particular way.

Add these 7 routines to your night to set yourself up for success.

It is very important to let go of issues and pending matters carried over from work. Spending time catching up with the family, watching a film, reading books of a light nature before going off to sleep will help people de-stress from the day's hectic schedule. The article curated suggests a few things that people can do before going off to sleep.

5 Tricks to Be More Powerful at Work

5 Tricks to Be More Powerful at Work | Tidbits, titbits or tipbits? | Scoop.it
From www.inc.com - April 20, 2015 5:23 PM

"Power is a subject that makes many people extremely uncomfortable," Stanford professor Jeffrey Pfeffer argues, but just because we don't like to think about power doesn't mean it's not the lifeblood of business. "Power is in fact all around...like air and water and gravity," he insists.

Ignoring power, therefore, won't make it disappear any more than wishing away gravity will help you fly. Instead of sticking your head in the sand, Pfeffer suggests you get real and start thinking constructively about accumulating power. How can you do that? In the video he offers a handful of actionable (if not necessarily universally palatable) tips.

Power makes lots of us uncomfortable, but that's no excuse for sticking your head in the sand and not cultivating your professional clout

How to exceed expectations in your first managerial role

How to exceed expectations in your first managerial role | Tidbits, titbits or tipbits? | Scoop.it
From mashable.com - April 13, 2015 5:13 PM

After years of hard work, you’ve landed your first position as a manager. It’s now time to prove yourself in your new role, but that may be a challenging task if you haven’t been trained to manage.

If you’re feeling unprepared for your new duties, you’re not alone. According to Development Dimensions International, Inc., roughly 60% of new managers say they learned how to do their jobs through trial and error. Many described their leadership transitions as challenging, stressful or overwhelming.

Still Feel Unsuccessful? A New Stanford Study Says That's Probably a Good Sign

Still Feel Unsuccessful? A New Stanford Study Says That's Probably a Good Sign | Tidbits, titbits or tipbits? | Scoop.it
From www.inc.com - March 3, 2017 3:43 PM

Are you one of the never satisfied strivers?

 

The type of person who, despite having some obvious successes in life--a solid career, a modicum of financial security, the respect of your peers--just never feels like you've quite made it?

 

Are you always a little worried you could be accomplishing more?

 

If so, you probably feel kind of crummy sometimes compared to your more easily contented competitors, but according to new research out of Stanford, all your ambition has a serious upside (hat tip to Science of Us for the pointer).

Perpetually feeling like you're a bit unsuccessful, it turns out, is a pretty good sign you're going to go on to achieve even greater things.

Feeling like you have something to prove keeps you fighting, new Stanford research shows.
rodrick rajive lal's curator insight, March 3, 2017 12:49 AM
Feeling unsuccessful might be good after all! A New Stanford study suggests that it is better to feel unsuccessful at times, rather than feel successful and satiated at times. Complacency and satisfaction might be obstacles to progress. What we need for constant progress is hunger. Hunger is the key to success. Organisations introduce disruption for the very fact that stagnancy and fixed routines might spawn laziness.
 
Bryan Worn's curator insight, March 6, 2017 2:57 PM

Comparisons are debilitating. There is always someone else who appears smarter, dumber, prettier, uglier, faster, slower etc. than us. This study shows once again the best way to fulfilment is through learning to be the best we can be.

What Happened When I Dressed Up To Work From Home For A Week

What Happened When I Dressed Up To Work From Home For A Week | Tidbits, titbits or tipbits? | Scoop.it
From www.fastcompany.com - October 13, 2016 4:40 PM
Let’s be honest: One of the perks of working from home is that you can do it in your pajamas. The term "dress for success" need not apply when you can roll out of bed and be on duty in a minute or less.
 
Whether you’re a yoga-pant-wearing independent contractor like me, or you telecommute or own a home-based business, Donovan says there are six reasons why you should dress up in workplace attire.
1. You Maintain A Professional Perception

If you are part of a team and participate in video meetings, it’s important to dress the part, says Donovan.

Even when "dress for success" doesn't officially apply, it's still a good idea to get out of your PJs or sweats.

Why Saying This Four-Letter Word Can Transform Your Productivity

Why Saying This Four-Letter Word Can Transform Your Productivity | Tidbits, titbits or tipbits? | Scoop.it
From www.fastcompany.com - April 13, 2015 5:13 PM

Perfectionists are often reminded that "done is better than perfect." But it turns out there’s another reason we should all try to create more "done" moments in our workdays.

Saying the word done can help you get more accomplished on your to-do list. "Telling ourselves that we’re done creates not only an emotional reaction but a physiological response as well," says Leslie Sherlin, a psychologist, neuroperformance specialist, and the cofounder of the brain-training company SenseLabs.

When we are mentoring someone who has a pattern of being overwhelmed, helping them to see that a task or project is done and declaring that it is done is a very powerful tool.
