Viewpoints Industry TV with Suggestions on Starting a Business

If starting your own business sounds like something you might want to do, Viewpoints Industry TV has some suggestions which might make that decision easier to make.

The idea of being your own boss is something you think about all the time while working for someone else. Consider the suggestions below before opening your own shop:

Are you ready? Do you have enough money saved to tide you over for three to six months in case no money comes in through the new business until then? Is your personal life stable enough to handle running your own business?

Which business is the right one for you? There are generally several types of home-run businesses: creative, service-oriented, helping others, and doing physical work for others. Which one will your prospective business fall in to?

Get involved. Join community groups which are similar to the kind of business you want to own and run. Join on line groups and make friends. Like other people’s and business pages and re-tweet good ideas from others. This is how smart sole proprietors build a network to lean on.

Don’t let small failures or lack of income scare you off. It takes time, patience and courage to see a new business through tough times. It is normal to spend almost all of your awake time making your new business visible and successful.

Celebrate each and every small success. Viewpoints IndustryTV suggests sharing it with friends, colleagues and online communities.

Remember – you are not alone. There is a great amount of support all around you. You just have to reach out and tap into it.

Viewpoints Industry TV and How to Have More Time to Get Things Done

Even with a to-do list, sometimes we cannot get everything done. The best planners still run into situations which wreak havoc in the best laid plans. So we decided to present some suggestions on how to get things done and have more time.

Just say no. Friends and family will press us to do things that are not a part of our daily plan. The phone rings and we are on it for a little too long. Remember that it’s okay to say no. Let calls go to voicemail. Reply to a text later. Say no if there is no time to meet someone.

Make a list of things to get done while having breakfast. Be realistic in what can be accomplished. Check tasks completed off the list. Keep a clipboard or something else to hold receipts, forms and other papers with you. It doesn’t have to be large. But it should be convenient.

Stay focused. Keep attention on the first and most important task on a to-do list. Complete that one and then move to the second most important. Move less important tasks to the end of the list. If they do not get done, it’s not such a big deal.

Viewpoints Industry TV understands that time is more valuable than money. And we always seem to fall short of having enough of it.  Write down what’s most important to do today – whether it is visiting a friend or getting the laundry done. Complete the most important task on the list and the others will fall in behind it. This is a sure fire way to have more time to get things done.

Viewpoints Industry TV on the Dangers of Texting While Walking

Not only have we seen people who text and walk put themselves into danger, but a new study now shows that these multi-taskers are adopting a new and unhealthy gait.

Viewpoints Industry TV learns that people who walk and text at the same time tend to walk like a robot –stiff with necks tilted at an odd angle, they move more slowly, and swerve more which can cause them to become hurt if they run into an obstacle. Researchers put 26 experienced texters in a room and recorded their gait as they walked and texted. They learned that the texters walked off of a somewhat straight line. If done outside the study area, they would likely walk in to traffic, not see a curb and trip down it, or face other hazardous obstacles and possibly cause a sprained or broken ankle, or worse.

While many people believe that the text they receive and want to respond to are urgent, many notes, in fact, are not urgent at all. There is nothing more “urgent” than being aware of your surroundings such as traffic and traffic lights. Failure to notice a vehicle coming due to looking down at a smart phone can result in serous injury or death. Look up America. The traffic light changed. There is a pothole in the sidewalk which you are about to trip over. Your gait, your limbs and your life are far more urgent than the note from your friend about what time to meet tonight.
