An Outline Makes Business Writing a Snap

There are several ways to simplify the writing process. One of the quickest and most easily adaptable ways is to create and follow a simple outline for all of your business writing. 

While you don't need a detailed, four-page outline that encompasses every point you want to make or every theory you purport, a simple outline can assist you in organizing your thoughts, narrowing your topic, helping you decide exactly what you want to say, and ensuring that you cover every important aspect of your subject. 

An outline also helps you jump over the writer's block hurdle that plagues nearly every writer at one time or another. 

Organize Your Thoughts 

Before you even begin to write, spend some time brainstorming. Grab a sheet of paper and a pen, or a blank computer screen and a keyboard, and write down everything you can think of that relates to your topic. Include ideas that are only slightly relevant, ideas that you may eventually discard, but don't filter your thoughts at this point. Spend about 10-15 minutes writing down EVERYTHING you can think of about this subject. 

When you're finished, go back over what you've written and eliminate duplicate thoughts, unnecessary or irrelevant ideas, or anything else you don't want to include. 

Now you have a fairly thorough list of the general ideas you want to discuss. 

Narrow Your Topic 

Next, look at your ideas more closely. Do you really want to cover every one of them? Are some of these topics better left unsaid or some such common knowledge that you don't need to mention them? Only you can decide what's important, but focus on what you really want to say. Ask yourself some questions, such as: 

• Who am I trying to reach with this writing? 

• What do I want my readers to understand? 

• Are each of these ideas necessary to my central theme? 

• Have I left anything out? 

Decide Exactly What You Want to Say 

Once you have each general topic area defined, it's time to think about each area in more detail. Decide what makes each thing you've written down important. Determine what it is that you want your readers to understand about each specific idea. Write your first draft at this point, being careful to fill in every detail you can. It's much easier to edit and cut extraneous material than to try to go back and fill it in later. 

Cover Every Important Aspect of Your Subject 

After you've written your first draft, you'll want to go back and evaluate every sentence, and every paragraph. Have you covered every important aspect of your subject? Should you expand an idea more fully? Can you rewrite a sentence or a paragraph to make it read more clearly or professionally? Now is the time to do your best work. Ensure that your subject is covered fully and completely and that you have said exactly what you intended to say. 

Consider Hiring a Professional 

Most small business owners and entrepreneurs must wear many, if not all, of the hats in the company. While it's easy to recognize the importance of your business communications, it's also easy to allow them to crucial documents to exit your office without full consideration for their impact on your bottom line. 

Consider this... if you don't communicate clearly and effectively with your clients and prospects, you'll lose their attention -- and their business! 

That's why, if your business writing skills are less than professional, you should seriously consider hiring a professional writer and/or editor to assist you. 

Often, the first thing your audience sees is your written communication, and if you fail there, you'll never get the chance to show them what great products and astounding customer service you can provide!

Gifts that Never Go Out of Style

The holiday season is a time for giving. When most of us think of giving, we think of gifts. The mere thought of tackling that Christmas list can be daunting. Maybe there isn't enough money to buy the gifts you'd like to give. Or perhaps you have a few of those "hard to buy for" people who have everything. So you put on your Betty Crocker hat and spend hours in the kitchen making cookies, sweet breads, and fudge to give as gifts. You make homemade ornaments and other Christmas crafts, or you buy another pair of socks and another boring tie.

I'm going to ask you to think a little less traditionally about gift giving, and consider giving of yourself this holiday season. I've been reading Rick Warren's new book "God's Power to Change Your Life". In his book, he discusses a well known topic - the fruits of the spirit. I got to thinking about how wonderful it would be to make a conscious effort to give one or all of these nine gifts. These gifts can be given to anyone and everyone, they cost you nothing but your heart, and they never go out of style.

Love 
What is love? So many people think of love as a strong feeling we have. We love our kids, our spouse, and our friends, especially when they are nice to us. But do we love people when they are unlovable, or do we love people who have hurt us deeply? Love is a matter of choice, and love is an action, not a feeling. How can we stretch ourselves and offer love in the most difficult situations? Give the gift of forgiveness to someone you've been holding a grudge against. Think loving thoughts of people when they are really aggravating you. Act lovingly to someone you do not like, and pray for people that mistreat you.

Joy
The holidays are supposed to be a time of joy, but yet many of us don't feel it. We equate joy with happiness, but the two are not the same. Your happiness depends on your circumstances - whether you're having a good day or bad day. Joy, on the other hand, is an attitude we can choose to have. Regardless of our situation, we can choose to be joyful. Consider changing your perspective and chucking self-pity. Focus on God's love and His plans for you, which are always good, even when you have to walk through the valley first. Give the gift of gratitude, cheerful giving, and service. Everyone loves to be appreciated and served with a smile.

Peace
Most of the time, the holidays are anything but peaceful. The stress that often comes with holidays makes for a chaotic time. So how can you offer peace to the people around you when they most need it? Spend time in prayer so that you can receive the spiritual and emotional peace that comes from God. Then you can give relational peace to others by having an internal sense of peace and turning away from conflict. Meet criticism with a calm and listening ear, instead of defensiveness. Offer compassion and understanding instead of anger and fighting words. Manage your own stress so you can be an example to everyone around you.

Patience
Rick Warren says you can test your patience in four ways. How do you deal with interruptions? How do you handle inconveniences? How do you respond to the irritations in your life? What is your reaction when you have to wait? Let's face it. The holiday season can really test our patience. Whether it's having to drive to 5 different stores to find the one toy that is out of stock, dealing with irritable and snobbish people, or waiting in endless lines, our reaction is the true test of how patient we are. Give the gift of patience by developing a deeper love for people, changing how you view situations, learning to laugh at the craziness, and depending on God to see you through the stressful times.

Kindness
Do you ever stop and ask yourself how you can be kind to someone today? Acts of kindness require thoughtful effort. Smiling at people who are having a bad day is an act of kindness. Kindness can be expressed by taking the time to listen to someone who is hurting. Giving people genuine compliments and seeing the best in people is a way to show kindness. Go out of your way to do something nice for someone, and don't wait until it's convenient for you because that time often does not come. In this busy world, everyone can benefit from a little kindness.

Goodness
According to Rick Warren, "God says in his Word that the good life is not based on looking good, feeling good, or having goods. He says the good life is a life filled with goodness - being and doing good. When you are being good and doing good, you are going to feel good, and you are even going to start looking good - or at least looking better." How can you give the gift of goodness? By being and doing good according to God's word, and not the world. Whenever I am perplexed by how to handle a tough situation, I always ask myself, "What would Jesus do?" How would Jesus offer goodness to people this holiday season?

Faithfulness
Giving the gift of faithfulness means you are reliable, trustworthy, dependable and consistent. If you say you're going to do something, do it. If you make plans to meet a friend, follow through with the plans, and do not cancel. Keep your promises and be a woman of integrity. Let people know you can be depended on for help this holiday season. Avoid gossiping and instead be a trustworthy friend. Be faithful to God by spending time everyday thanking Him for the love and blessings he gives you, as well as giving of your time, talent, and financial resources. We all need faithful people in our lives - don't underestimate the power of this gift.

Gentleness
Everyone loves a gentle spirit. Gentle people are well liked and offer the gift of love and healing to wounded souls. There are so many ways to be gentle to people. Consider having compassion and understanding by being able to set aside your own needs and see things from someone else's point of view, instead of demanding your own way. One of the greatest gifts you can give to someone is that of being non-judgmental. Have you ever wanted to share something that was really important to you, but you feared how people might judge you? How good it would feel to be able to open your heart to someone that was totally non-judgmental. Gentleness involves talking to people with respect and disagreeing peacefully. James 1:19 says, "Let every man be quick to listen but slow to use his tongue, and slow to lose his temper".

Self-Control
Give yourself the gift of self-control. Many of the problems we face in our life develop from a lack of self-control. Whether we face weight loss issues, financial debt, bad habits, or disorganization, the root of the problem usually starts with us. So how can you give yourself the gift of self-control? It starts with taking responsibility and committing to change. Think positive, believe in yourself, and do not let your past failures dictate your future success. Ask someone in your life or hire a life coach to hold you accountable to the change you'd like to make. Stay away from anything that tempts you to backslide on your goal, and rely on God's power to see you through to the end. While the holiday season is about giving, you too deserve a gift.

There is no reason to worry about money or buying the wrong gift because everyone appreciates receiving gifts from the heart. So this holiday season give your family, friends, neighbors, strangers, God and yourself the gifts of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

The Necessary Drive And Mentality Of A Young Entrepreneur

In order to be successful any entrepreneur has to have an undying drive to not only sculpt his or her vision, but regardless of barriers and other outside forces, implement it. When it comes to creating this vision, it's not the most intelligent who wins; it's who is willing to go toe to toe with the most intelligent and do the necessary work to beat them. Doing so gets especially tricky when you are much younger and thus less experienced (and maybe less funded) than your competition.

1. It's Not "I Believe I Can", It's "I Believe I Deserve It" - successful entrepreneurship at a young age starts and becomes successful at the point where the young entrepreneur realizes that if he or she doesn't do it, someone else will.


Where the young entrepreneur falls short in experience, he must make up with ego. At first, this mentality can seem daunting for younger business owners, however that is because it is a different way of thinking that becomes habitual; that should become habitual.

2. Goals Higher Than Anyone Has Achieved - when an inexperienced small business owner enters an industry, nobody pays attention.

As a matter of fact, people immediately write them off. It is for this reason that he or she has an advantage - if and only if they set their goals higher than not only their previous ambitions, but rather set their sights on dominating their respective industry. While this a long climb, the ascent, when taken step by step is as challenging as it is fun and lucrative.

3. Reliability On Oneself - I've learned from experience that if the small business owner does not do a particular task him or herself, it won't get done properly...period.

Many aspiring business owners feel that they should use their strengths when, phrased more properly, they should continue to expand on them. Since I've started my company, I've had to learn things that I never thought I would and the work load is intensive, but I know that having someone else do it properly is too expensive and being able to dabble in multiple parts of my business not only makes me a better CEO, it kills the mundane feeling of a corporate job.

4. Resiliency Separates the Business Owners from the Resume Writers - when you successfully penetrate an industry, especially as a young entrepreneur, you are going to ruffle some feathers.

Unfortunately, instead of improving their own business, many times people will attempt to knock you off your game. They figure you're young and can be manipulated much easier. When my company started to become known in the industry, I received hate mail from time to time. Though, this drove me to further succeed. Getting knocked down is something that happens to all of us.

However, know that it happens to those who want to become successful more than it does to others. In the end, those who relentlessly and, thus successfully pursue their dreams are the ones who learn to get up and keep on going. As a young entrepreneur, you're not alone, but remember that you are your own best friend.
