Set the Pace Now- The Importance of Setting Hourly Goals
The objective of setting hourly goals is to produce superior results within a short period of time. By setting hourly goals, we allow ourselves to take small "baby" steps and establish a simple system. We can use this system to produce outstanding results quickly, and efficiently. We truly can allow our time to serve us, instead of us serving time by following the same normal nine to five routine. We must always "remember to remember" the objective, and not lose focus. Many of us don't get ahead in our chosen careers because we wait for things to come our way. We have to be more assertive and intend to get ahead.
You must first identify your tasks
Take time to write down your daily tasks. You may have to use your memory and visualize yourself in the workplace. What is it that you do each day? At which time? Do you feel like you're doing the same things over repeatedly? Have you fallen into a boring daily routine?
Write down the things you do on a daily basis. For example: Check emails and other mailings, return telephone messages, handle incoming and outgoing calls, attend business meetings, conferences, presentations, attend off-site facilities, take breaks, go to lunch, attend training sessions.
Once you've identified your daily tasks, you must now prioritize these tasks. Each day we perform tasks and devote a certain amount of time to each task. If you can take the time to account for your daily routine and tasks, you'll be able to determine where your attention is needed most. For example, if you are a telemarketer, your priority is to handle incoming and outgoing calls. Handling calls may be a task that requires 2 to 3 hours of your day. Prioritize your tasks in order of importance.
In an office setting:
From 8am to 9am, I check emails and messages from yesterday.
From 9am to 10am, I return telephone calls in order of importance to business contacts.
From 10am to 12pm, I'm creating new business and handing incoming and outgoing calls.
From 12pm to 1pm, I take lunch (although I usually take 15-30 minutes).
From 1pm to 4pm, I'm making more business development calls to contacts
From 4pm to 5pm, I'm in business meetings and/or interviewing contacts.
From 5pm to 5:30pm, I'm tracking my daily progress and planning my next business day in advance.
In a warehouse setting:
I opened my warehouse/office at 6:30 am.
My distributors arrived to the office at 6:45 am.
My warehouse opened at 7:00 a.m. for the distributors to receive merchandise.
By 8:00am, my distributors have received their merchandise, counted their inventory, and were ready to distribute the goods to businesses.
Between 8:00a.m., and 9:00a.m., I've met with the distributors to explain the product strategy and sales techniques which will help them improve their performance in the field.
The distributors left the office at 9:00 a.m.
By 9:15am., I went to the warehouse to re-count the inventory.
At 9:45a.m., I counted settle ups, and performed the daily master (calculate sales and inventory) for sales the business day prior.
I went to the bank each day at 10:00a.m. to make a daily deposit.
By 10:30a.m., I am either on the telephone with head office, a company Vice president, regional manager, hub manager, or in a meeting with my administrator where we lay out gameplans for interviewing and recruiting new candidates to work in our warehouse or in sales.
At 11:00a.m., I am interviewing new prospects and candidates for sales distribution positions.
I would interview until 1:00p.m., and then I would take lunch.
At 1:30p.m., I would conduct more interviews, and continue until 4:30p.m. This is the typical daily routine unless a truck came to the office to unload new products.
At 4:30p.m., I usually contacted head office to discuss product strategy and to order new products to add to my stock report.
At 5:30p.m., my distributors returned to the office.
At 6:00p.m., the warehouse opened for returning unsold merchandise. I immediately met with new prospects and engaged in one on one conversations.
At 6:30 p.m. I collected sales and met with my top distributors. During that time, I also set up sales teams for the next day along with a product strategy for the next business day.
I closed the warehouse/office building at 7:00 p.m.
Using that schedule, I generated over 400,000 in sales my first year as a business owner working on a 25% profit margin. If you notice, the first example is for someone that spends the majority of the time using the telephone. The second example is showing how the majority of time is spent conducting interviews face to face.
Recognize your tasks, and then prioritize.
By setting hourly goals, or assigning hourly tasks to your daily schedule, you will add value to your overall goal or objective. You won't feel like you are a "hamster in a wheel" that has fallen into a dull routine. You will be able to use each hour to create something new and build upon your work. This process does take discipline and self-control, but if applied correctly, can create a stress free, methodical, simple system for success. If you prioritize your schedule and break your day down into hourly tasks, you will accomplish more duties in less time.

Set Pace Now: A Dozen Ways to Generate Extra Cash Flow This Summer
Before we dive into the extra cash flow ideas, it may also help if you also understand the mentality and importance of getting customers and repeat business. The first step is to acquire customers. You have to spread the word through family, friends, and people in your community. Pass flyers around your neighborhood and build new relationships within your community.
As your business starts to grow and you receive positive feedback, your customer base will increase its loyalty and eventually you'll be able to increase revenue. As time goes on, you will have created additional business contacts and have increased your customer base through referrals.
Whichever way you decide to earn, be sure to create and deliver value in your community. That is a sure-fire way to earn more.
A few of these ideas could involve your entire family and be a lot of fun
1. Landscaping
2. Dog walking service
3. Pet grooming
4. Garage/Yard Sale
5. Washing Cars
6. Sell products door to door
7. Babysitting
8. Water/ Juice/ Lemonade Stand
9. Auction unused items on online auction sites
10. Errand Service for Handicap/Elderly
11. Collecting Cans/Metals
12. Window Washing Service
A good idea that may help your business take off is if you let your customers know that you will take a percentage of your earnings and donate it to charity. If you are honest and sincere about what you are doing, this could turn your part-time income producer into a full time business. If you donate a percentage of your revenue to your favorite charity, people in your area will promote your service to others. Some of you may be saying to yourself, "I need the extra money and I can't afford to donate to charity", but I'm here to tell you that the opposite is true. The more you give, the more you will receive. There are many ways to earn additional income for the summer but I've listed twelve that can bring in a few hundred dollars per month for the next several months. Each service could potentially produce thousands of dollars if your service is good and you've created an outstanding reputation in your community.

Set Pace Now: Teach Others How to Set the Pace and Reach Goals
When I refer to setting the pace, set pace now, or pacesetting, I'm referring to a mentality that has been developed and physically demonstrated with intent to produce positive results in any chosen field.

Those lessons, are designed for duplication and once applied properly, can create many wonderful opportunities whether it's spiritual, financial, physical, mental, emotional, or social.

Marketing
Opportunity
Momentum
M.O.M. is a system of teachings that will produce success for those who are aware and applies its lessons.
Marketing-
Effective marketing takes a strong will, a keen awareness, and a sincere interest in people. In the marketing world, an individual learns and grows through countless experiments and many trials and errors. One has to create, or adhere to a system which will yield positive results and can be shared and taught to others. Learn the importance of using a system and it can assist you in creating or taking part in new opportunities.
Opportunity
The word "opportunity" is almost synonymous with the word "business", and are often used together. Opportunities present themselves to those that are prepared for it. If you become effective at marketing yourself and understanding the power of marketing, new opportunities will continue to unfold and create strong momentum.
Momentum
Once created, can become a lot of fun. Your awareness level has grown and expanded and you are able to move forward with your tasks. Every successful business is good at creating, maintaining, and advancing momentum.
Mom has taught us many priceless lessons and here are a few examples how M.O.M. has helped us to become perpetual pacesetters.
Feed- Information
Protect- From Negatives
Clean- Image for Success
Teach- Survival
Chastise- Builds our confidence; Breaks us when we need discipline; Builds our self-esteem and reassures us that there is a system in place that works.
Ween- Teaches us to expand our comfort zones
Give Birth- Hands us the opportunity to grow
This system is used to raise families worldwide. These principles, if properly applied to the business you are involved in, can help you improve tremendously, assist you in reaching and setting higher goals, and helps you to set the pace now!

How to Become the Bait for Employers in Your Job Search
If you are seeking fish, a great idea would be to go where there's a lot of fish and cast bait. Wouldn't you agree? Well, if I'm searching for a job, wouldn't it make sense to attend a job fair where their main objective is to attract job seekers? Seek out and find the closest job fairs in your area. If you live in a rural area, the longer drive will be worth the trip. If you are job hunting, go to job fairs.
Attending job fairs provide opportunities to:
Network with people. It is important to take advantages of the opportunity to meet with people face to face. Meet Human Resource personnel and/or hiring managers and directors. You can leave a memorable first impression upon the interviewers. Take good notes and receive information about each company. Get their business cards, exchange emails and telephone numbers. Leave your business card and/or resume.
Take brochures and pamphlets so that you can evaluate each company. Your goal is to find something that feels good and "is the right fit".
There are various types of job fairs:
-specific market/audience for a single industry
-multiple industries-no specific audience
It's important to keep this in mind:
-Companies are hiring
-People are hiring
-These companies and people will compensate their employees!
Take the opportunity to market yourself by promoting your background and prior accomplishments to the hiring managers. The impression could lead to a second round interview or in some cases, an offer is extended to the candidate right on the spot.
Job fairs are an invaluable tool in the job seeking process. These fairs can save you valuable time and energy because you have multiple companies at one location to find people like you. You also gain experience by meeting and interviewing with the company hiring team and personnel. You can quickly detect differences and similarities by paying attention to each company's interviewing techniques. By taking notice of those differences, we can adapt and make any necessary adjustments in order to improve our next interviewing experience.
Show up early, and with your A-game. Take a briefcase, or a professional portfolio to store your information, along with notes you have written down about each company. Have your resumes ready and a brief cover letter prepared and ready to submit.
Note:(Cover letters will vary depending upon the type of company, name of position, and industry).
Take time and research the types of job fairs in your area. There is much to gain from the experience, and gaining knowledge and information will make the trip worth your time.

Have a Plan and Purpose
How to Lead the Pack, Serve Others and Produce Superior Results:
- Have a Plan and Purpose
- Identify your why
To carry out your plan, you need to have a purpose for doing so. The plan needs to be specific, attainable, and measurable. Whether your goal is to take care of your family, achieve fame, large fortunes, or experience freedom, you need strong motivators for inspiration to take action. It is imperative to identify your wants.
-Family
If you are a parent, spouse, sibling, guardian, loved one, or extended family member, you may have powerful reasons for wanting to carry out your plan. Whether you are an employer, investor, business owner, or self-employed, the need to take care of your loved one's is of great importance and one of the most powerful sources of motivation.
-Fortune
Others carry out their plan to attain riches and vast sums of money. building a financial fortune will take time to build. This involves time, vision, patience and discipline. As you focus upon your fortune, you will perform at higher levels of concentration because you will think of other ways to attract stronger skills which will allow you to attract more money, resources, or assets.
-Fame
There are people that dive into projects or set goals and carry out plans because of the recognition and praise that are associated with achieving success. Many people seek rewards for their hard work and contribution--especially in a winning cause. In many situations, people perform better and achieve even greater results due to constant recognition. This can be a major contributor to one's self esteem and confidence.
-Freedom
There are others that see the bigger picture. Those are the individuals that carry out the plan because it feels good to do it. The freedom allows one to perform at the highest level because they are in sync within themselves. Freedom allows unlimited creativity to perform, produce, and shape new greatness, while taking steps to improve and exceed the goals that were originally set in place.
-Would you do it for free?
There are people that are just good at what they do. Many of these people prosper because they don't do it for the money. There could be a challenge which attracts one to a project, but the end result could affect people in a positive way. These people just take pride in what they do and this delivers and creates unlimited value.
-Love what you do
If you are carrying out some plan or purpose or objective or whatever, and you don't love what you do...DON"T WASTE YOUR TIME! When your purpose for doing something makes you feel good, you could do it all day and everything else just seems to fall in place. If it's something you love, your power, abilities, skills, and attention will increase tenfold! Rule of thumb--DO NOT select your plan or purpose only for the money! Do something you love and money will automatically follow! Take the time to understand your "why". This is of the utmost importance for carrying out and achieving the goals you have set in place.
-Residual Value
Unlimited resources will be provided to you if you can develop a solid plan for massive success. Create a value that will serve others and deliver on those values. That will always serve to your benefit. Put yourself in a position to bridge the gap between yourself and your business associates. Learn as much about your role and the role of your associates. If you are a low level employee, find ways to learn and ask questions-become a sponge. If you are an executive, learn how to retrain yourself as if you were on your first day on the job. This will help you "reinvent" yourself and stay fresh with new ideas to drive growth. Always remain in good vibrations and good feelings because it will create some value long term. Residual value means just that- something will always serve to your benefit and will also benefit others. This concept along can produce for you and your loved ones for generations to come.
-Clearly Defined Goals
To keep this simple, I strongly suggest:
-Think about what you want
-Write down what you want
-Look at what you want every chance you can
-Fall in love with what you want, take pictures to reinforce your purpose
-Set a date, determine when it will manifest, and go for what you want.
This will bring you closer to your desires and dreams.

Set Pace Now: Interview Questions
