Water- daily intake and your health.

Since childhood, I have been advised not only by my teachers but also doctors that I should take eight glasses of water daily. Unfortunately, the eight glasses a day rule, is rarely adhered to and hence the body slowly develops complications due to dehydration. The importance of water in our bodies cannot be overemphasized. If you are yet to adapt the habit, begin today.

There is a deep connection between the amount of water you take daily and the kind of skin you have. It only takes a few days for your skin to become fairer with the increase in the number of glasses. You need to know that water serves as the agent that flushes away toxins from your body. Toxins are chemical substances as a result of the body processes. Without water, your cell will not be able to remove waste products from your body. These waste materials may pile up in your body and later cause diseases. Water also goes a long way to hydrate your skin and hence reducing dryness.

Have you ever known that your frequent headaches may be as result of lack of enough water in your body? The body chemistry behind this is that if you continue taking too little water, you body perceives this as a risk to survival. The immediate response is to begin to retain water. This may cause swollen feet, hands or any other body part.

Those who are struggling to loose weight could do it faster by taking more water. This is because you need to speed up your level of metabolism.

Putting potential into action

Today, almost everyone has heard much about his/her in-born abilities. Great motivational speakers stress the fact that everybody has a lot of potential which if put to action could bring incredible results. It takes one a lot of time to believe in him/herself especially if you come from a humble background. The truth is that your success should not be tied to your academic performance or childhood experiences. The fact that you may not have done well in your class work can not be used to fully declare you a failure in life. Remember that there are so many success stories that were born away from classrooms. All you need to do is to identify your inner abilities and put them into action. But the truth is that identifying such abilities and activating them in where the hardest task is.

Unfortunately, many people try to become other people in the pretense of following a role model. One discovers after wasting a lot of time that whoever they thought to be a role model was actually misleading them. For example, I have come across people who have more than four undergraduate degrees and end up just practicing in one profession. This simply means that they have been going round trying to locate where their happiness is. You will only find satisfaction when you discover that in born potential. Here, you do things with a lot of ease and the rest is a success story. Your potential is turned into action by just identifying it. Thus the greatest step into greatness is identification of inner abilities.

Office affairs- boss and subordinate dangerous love affair.

Nothing is so attractive to a male boss than a confident lady with an unwavering self esteem. It is said that men love challenges and the truth is that they will be trying their best to win that tough lady. You may be rich, well educated, driving the latest car and so on but confidence is what gives an icing to the cake. Every man will feel privileged to have a lady that was hard to win around him.

Just like a family, work place relationships are a part of every office and they come in all designs, patterns, and strategies and of course intensities. But I must admit that love affairs are not encouraged in most offices and mainly occur due to a lapse in the human resource department. The extreme happens when boss is eyeing one of the new subordinates. From experience, I have discovered that the bosses always want to date somebody new in the office and have no business with the old colleagues. This should sound an alarm to the new comer. Know that your boss had another lover before you came in.

Anyway, you should not just dismiss everybody who is showing some interest in you. But be careful about the people who are almost dating you on your first day in office. Every serious man will pay the price for it, even if it takes two years. To avoid the disappointments of having to deal with broken relationships hangovers, it is better to date outside your office.

Marketing- what you must know

.

For every product success story, there must be a significant level of marketing. The main aim of marketing your products is to avail information to your prospective customers but the decision whether to buy those products or not, exclusively remains with the customer. This calls for proper marketing tips that present your products as the most outstanding in the market.

Every successful marketer knows that market research is vital for him/her to remain on the course of business. This means that you must discover who your potential customers are. This largely depends on what products you sell. Go ahead to know where they are particularly located. This enables you to decide the possibility of the products reaching them.

Before you think of marketing your products, think of your public image. Some businesses do not even need to market their services since the consumers already have a bad perception towards them. You must market your business first before marketing your product. Remember that you goods or services will be associated with the image of your company.

It pays a lot when you have all the information regarding the goods that you are selling. Your clients will feel more convinced about the products if you are also using them. This shows that what you are selling is not harmful and is worth trying.

You must also work on yourself before meeting your clients. Wear a smiling face and speak confidently. Your prospective customers will probably be looking forward to see if you believe in the information you are providing. Avoid anything that would suggest that there is a degree of uncertainty on the performance of your products.

Managing business change

Companies spend many resources in designing new ideas and ways of doing things. Unfortunately, much can be structured in meetings and change seminars but as soon they end, minutes are filed and no one may take the initiative of following up such deliberations. Such outstanding plans may later attract skeptics, insecurity and mistrust among top managers, especially those who are likely to lose as a result of the proposed changes.

The truth is that annually, many organizations develop many positive convictions but hardly go into details of developing a realizable implementation plan. Change requires a lot of practical tactics to avoid the resistances that come from various stakeholders. However, to successfully initiate change in any business, you need to involve all the stakeholders and win their confidence that whatever will be implemented will benefit the whole organization. Remember that the results of the intended change matter than the methods.

Every successful change must follow a certain implementation sequence. You will eventually fail if you implement a proposed change at once. To facilitate a smooth way of implementation, you need to learn the business culture so that you can know what stage of business growth is ripe for change. Change should be implemented so tactfully that many will not feel its effects. Have in mind that people will be curious to see the results.

Anyway, patience must be developed when a new way of doing things come into being. A sudden positive result may not be achieved but eventually, the desired goal will be a reality for a well structured change.

Some designs that are considered ‘ordinary’ give a high level of stability and security to life, while others that are expensive do not.

Your architect may demand a lot of money, usually a percentage of the estimated cost of the house, so be ready.

Global recession- dealing with the crisis

Of all the risks and challenges facing a business currently, the world economic crisis poses the greatest threat to the success of very business. Businesses have been found to be spending much in diverse strategies to try and survive the economic crisis regardless of the fall in income. The truth is that the uncertainty that surrounds the performance of every business makes it hard to fully prepare to combat such crisis.

Environmental changes, rising oil prices, unhealthy competition and many more factors have contributed to the sudden recession. Not only has doing business become expensive but also more risky. It is becoming more challenging when issues of which marketing strategy to be used emerge. Access to affordable and effective advertisement techniques is therefore of great significance. Here, understand that you should not overspend in marketing your products but rather go for the most effective but efficient method.

Remember that your business could record more profits depending on how you view the crisis. This means that you must be positive to the point of seeing your business beating the financial crisis. Unfortunately, many business managers have already predicted a fall in profits. Know that consumers are also aware of the crisis and therefore are extremely careful on their spending. This means that your marketing team must be alert to know what products and services are selling. What business owners forget is that you do not decide what to sell to your customers but it is the customers who decide what to buy.
