How Many Bad Apples Are In Your Business?

 Tips for Keeping Bad Apples Out!

 

Hi there, Reader;

Lets face it we have all had an experience with a "bad apple". Michael Jackson understood the concept of a bad apple in this song lyrics.

One Bad Apple (Michael Jackson)

Yeahhh (2x)
I can tell you've been hurt
By that look on your face girl,
Some guy brought safety, to your happy world
You need love, but you're afraid that if you give in
Someone else will come along
And sock it to you again

One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch girl,
Oooh, give it one more try before you give up on love
One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch girl
Oooh, I don't care what they say I don't care what you've heard


I could make you happy baby, satisfy you too
But how can I when you won't give me a chance to prove my love to you
Won't you give me just one little chance
I give you my guarantee that you won't be hurt again

One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch girl
Oooh, give it one more try before you give up on love
One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch girl
Oooh, I don't care what they say I don't care what you've heard now

I've been noticing you baby for a long, long time (long long time now)
I'm not ashamed to tell the world that you really messed up my mind
Girl, to me you're like a dream come true (dream come true now)
I would rather hurt myself, than to ever hurt you

One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch girl
Oooh, give it one more try before you give up on love
One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch girl
Oooh, I don't care what they say I don't care what you've heard now
One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch girl
Oooh, give it one more try before you give up on love
One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch girl

Stretegic Meeting Planning

Hi there, Reader:

I was just at an MPI meeting, for those of you who don't know what MPI is the acronyms stand for Meeting Professionals International. It is an organization, that empowers professionals to be the Tbest they can.

As I thought about what to write today for this blog, I thought about how we run meetings and how on thee news it's all about the meetings of the President. What he is going to do in the first 100 days of office.

The first thing you must know is that he has a  plan a goal for what he hopes to accomplish. The second thing I would think he has is a time limit on how long the meeting will last and how much time before the action will happen. The third thing he must have is the cost. A budget.

A strategic meeting is always planned and always has a purpose before entering the meeting date. Here is my suggestions for a successful business meeting.

1. Have a goal clearly written. Not only the goal of the meeting, also the goal of what you are discussing.
2. Have a timeline in mind. I know it's great to have it on our smart phones, tablets and computers, however as humans we have to use as many senescence as we can, therefore I suggest you have it also printed on a calendar.
3. Have the time written in a place of importance what time the meeting will begin and end. A five (5) minute grace period is acceptable other than that you need to start and finish at the times spoken, planned. Also have it known what is the goal of the project to be implemented.
4. Respect people and they will respect you back. Finish the meeting on time. 
5. Let everyone know when the next meeting will be and the goals to be accomplished before leaving.
