 TIPS IN SUCCESS

Be Passionate. And do what you for love. If you don’t love it, then why do it? If we
build careers or continue in jobs that really aren’t our passion, we’re selling ourselves
short. It’s like the guy that is a tech consultant that really wanted to be the lead singer
of a band. I’ve written about love and careers before and I think that the takeaway
here is that if you really do what YOU want to do, you will be more creative, more
motivated, more tuned-in, and much more likely to be very financially and personally
prosperous.
Work Hard. Don’t ever fool yourself—success comes from really hard work. And you
might find that although you’re doing all of the heavy lifting, there is satisfaction in a
job well done. But remember that you need to rely on others, so make sure that you
surround yourself with colleagues that share your same work ethic.
Be Good. And by that, I mean damn good. Successful people strive for greatness, not
mediocrity. So push yourself (and your team) to ensure that you’ve reached your
ultimate potential. And be sure to celebrate your wins, that not only breeds confidence
among your team, it will keep your colleagues engaged and also will keep your clients
or customers enfranchised. If you haven’t read the book from Good to Great, grab a
copy.
Focus. Focus always proceeds success—which is not possible without a clear
emphasis on what matters most. And leaders constantly need to remind themselves of
this vital truth. Focus requires the pursuit of a mission and vision.
Serve. Customer service excellence has always been and will always be one of the
critical competitive advantages for any business. Meeting your customer’s needs will
help you build a very strong and memorable brand. Be responsive, listen, and observe
—then you will create value. Learn from mistakes in service
Create Ideas. In addition to service: ingenuity, authenticity, and forward thinking will
ultimately drive your brand. Aspiration is part of the creative process
Be Persistent. Business development and entrepreneurship should be built out of love
—and any great love requires passion and persistence to capture your dream.
Although you will experience setbacks and failures, you will also find success and
triumph.

TIPS FOR STAYING SAFE

Rearrange your work surfaces so the things you use most are to hand to avoid
unnecessary reaching or bending.

II
Clear a space on the counters near the cooker so you can put pans down easily.
Try to use the back rings on the cooker or hob when you’re cooking.
Make sure pan handles don’t stick out from the cooker or hob so you don’t
knock them.
Use a step stool or ladder with a handrail to reach things in higher cupboards.
Never stand on a chair.
Try not to carry hot liquids too far and take care when you’re carrying food to
another room - use a tray or a trolley. But don’t use a trolley as a walking aid
unless it has built-in brakes.
