What you decide is where you reside. One right decision of working on your purpose can reconfigure one’s life for progress but a man without purpose may not be able to take the right decision which would have usher him into the life of distinction.  2. It is a life without focus: Nothing gives a man focus in life like purpose but where he lacks purpose, he will definitely live without a focus. A man without a focus is an aimless man toss by the wind moving from one business to the other, changing profession as if changing clothes. Such a man will be without progress or achievements. When you don’t focus on your purpose, failure will focus you. 3. It leads to frustration: When a man does not have a purpose that is driving him, there will be no focus. Abs...

Image
A little more bad news, first: It's quite possible these employees never will be motivated to do the job. On the other hand, there's some built-in exciting news, too: There might just be a way to re-engage your people with your mission. Here are five simple strategies to turn your unproductive employees into company superstars.  1. Clarify your definition of 'productive.'

You want them pushing out 20,000 per month. When was the last time you defined productive for them? Of all five strategies, this one’s the easiest fix. 2. Create competition.

4 Reasons Employees See a Bleak Career Path and Quit

Image
Unfortunately, this disconnect is not uncommon. A 2015 Saba survey of 1,000 HR professionals and 1,000 employees in the U.S. and the U.K. found that while 60 percent of HR leaders believe their companies provide clear career paths, only 36 percent of employees agree. To make matters worse, 41 percent of employee respondents said they would leave their current company for better career options. To keep that from happening, organizations need to take a new look at how they communicate opportunities to their employees. Here are four reasons employers and employees aren’t on the same page about career paths and how to fix the issue: 1. Career paths are not a discussion. In a 2015 SHRM survey of 600 employees, 83 percent of employees said career advancement was important or very important to them, but only 20 percent were very satisfied with how their company was addressing their ambitions. It’s easy for employers to have one idea of what employees want ...

Sleep Exercise Positive Thinking Sleep can be crucial since most of us live busy and oftentimes, very stressful lives. Add to that the allure of falling asleep to the artificial light of a smartphone or tablet, and it can feel nearly impossible to get some quality shut-eye. Exercise has the terrific benefit of flooding our mind with the feel-good chemicals endorphins. Plus, the more you exercise, the more you will build strength and energy. Finally, positive thinking can fuel your mental stamina and, as Tracy puts, is the "fuel for your mind." With positive thoughts, you will feel motivated to continue moving forward and overcome any negative obstacles in your way.   SOURCE:www.entrepreneur.com
