Today we are talking about Reason #3 on why beck and call is NOT a better business, which is: It's Impossible to Maintain Peace and Balance.If you're constantly juggling unreasonable client expectations, it will be impossible to maintain any sense of peace and balance in your personal or professional life. You may feel like you're sacrificing your personal life for your business, or the important professional tasks that cannot be completed because you're catering to an overly demanding client.At some point, hopefully before total burnout, you learn to recognize what's really important: sometimes saying “no” is the best thing. It's vital to learn to say “no” to over-delivering on services clients have not paid for; “no” to things you do more out of obligation rather than joy; “no” to things that consume your schedule leaving little or no down time or freedom to do what you truly want and love to do.  When you've overextended yourself too far, the only way to regain a sense of peace and balance is to say “no.” (You can always say ‘yes' later.) You're not alone. It's common for business owners to find difficulty in saying no, especially to their clients.Clients are necessary, but you do not have to sell your soul to win their business. You do not have to be at their beck-and-call to earn their approval. You only need to focus on delivering the best service and what you promised to deliver.Establish client boundaries that support your personal definition of peace and balance. What works best for you? However that looks, design client boundaries to support your personal and professional life - and the success of your business.  Deliver what the client agreed to pay for - no more, no less - and strive to deliver your absolute best each and every time - that's good business practice. Subscribe to my high-value proven business success tips and resources Blog (https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/blog/) Take advantage of all the complimentary business tips and tools by joining the Free Silver Membership on https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/coaching-store/inner-circle-store/. Want more from The Accountability Coach™, subscribe to more high-value content by looking for me on https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/my-podcast/ and on most podcast platforms and in most English-speaking countries, or by going to https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/accountabilitycoach.com/id290547573. Go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com to check out for yourself how I, as your Accountability Coach™, can help you get and stay focused on you highest payoff activities that put you in the highest probability position to achieve your professional and personal goals, so you can enjoy the kind of business and life you truly want and deserve. As an experienced accountability coach and author of 5 books, I help business professionals make more money, work less, and enjoy even better work life balance.Check out my proven business accelerator resources by going to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/coaching-store/. Aim for what you want each and every day!  Anne BachrachThe Accountability Coach™If you get value from these Accountability Minutes, please take a minute to leave me a short rating and review.

Albania's Ambassador Ferit Hoxha today (1 Jun) said “we don't see any similarity” between Kosovo's declaration of independence in 2008, and “the unprovoked military aggression of Russia in Ukraine” or the “prefabricated” Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic.Talking to reporters in New York, Hoxha said, “we don't see any similarity between Kosovo, an independent state, and the unprovoked military aggression of Russia in Ukraine and the prefabricated - that's how I like to call them - republics in Donbass, for the very simple reason because there isn't any way, any similarity, and for the sake of truth, there is no similarity between Kosovo and any other situation anywhere in the world.”He noted that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) “in 2010 ruled that the Kosovo independence declared in 2008 did not violate international law” and added that “the very same ICJ in a couple of months ago, issued an order, unsubstantiating the Russian claim, which let's not forget was the justification for war, the supposedly genocide that Ukraine has been conducting on the Russian minorities in Ukraine.”Turning to the stalemate in the Security Council, the Albanian diplomat said, “the Security Council mandate is to uphold, to maintain, peace and security. When the council is blocked, it does the contrary. Unfortunately, this is the truth, this situation, and we've seen that so many times. And there is one problem into that, is the misuse of veto.”Albania holds the presidency of the Council during the month of June.

The truth is that the best business is a business that effectively sets boundaries, and manages and exceeds client expectations in order to maintain a productive and effective flow.nnIf you are constantly juggling clients, answering the phone at all hours of the day, interrupting your personal time to fit in business, and feeling stressed, here are 3 Reasons Why Beck-and-Call is Not Better Business.nn1. It's Impossible to Manage Client ExpectationsnWithout structure and a solid foundation of rules and regulations, managing client expectations is impossible. They will expect the world, and will be sorely disappointed, when you do not deliver it. In other words, without boundaries, it's quite possible they will expect everything.nnYou may find yourself, at one point or another, running yourself ragged juggling multiple clients, all of whom expect your undivided attention. When you find it impossible to meet the expectations of your clients, your business will suffer in more than one way. You'll be exhausted and clients will be left dissatisfied. No one wins.nnClient expectations can only be effectively managed by outlining specific deliverables from the very beginning. If this isn't possible (if the working relationship has already begun), then establish and communicate boundaries to clients as soon as you can.nnIf you can find a way to establish some ground rules (and stay firm to them), your clients will maintain healthy expectations and be satisfied (if not extremely happy) with the results. Establishing ground rules to manage client expectations is much like the tasks you schedule in your planner/calendar: Write it down and honor it.nn2. It's Impossible to Effectively Manage Your BusinessnImagine how effectively you can manage your business when you're struggling to meet multiple demands of multiple clients? Instead of having time to focus on building your business, you'll be struggling just to maintain it. That's no way to run your business. It's much like multi-tasking - it doesn't work well.nnIf you're consumed with meeting the high demands of unbridled client expectations, your business isn't running with the greatest effectiveness or efficiency. You're spending too much time on an overly demanding client, instead of focusing on other areas of your business that also require your attention in order to be successful. nnYou know you're not effectively running your business (it's actually running you) when:nn•tYou become exhausted and resentful of demanding clients (and eventually become resentful of your business, which detracts from your path of success).nn•tHighly demanding clients without a ceiling on expectations are impossible to please (and miserable to work with).nn•tClients with irrational or unreasonable expectations never provide glowing business reviews (they're often negative and damage your professional reputation).nn•tYou must have time to focus on other areas of your business other than client service (like finding and signing on prospective clients).nn•tInstead of creating a straight path to success, you're running yourself (and your business) into the ground.nnIf a client requests a service or special attention, offer an additional service or upgraded package in which the client has the option to pay for that additional service.

Clients are necessary, but you do not have to sell your soul to win their business. You do not have to be at their beck-and-call to earn their approval. You are a professional, providing a valuable service to a valuable client - that is the focus and the extent of your relationship - and it’s perfect just that way. There is no one’s approval to meet. You only need focus on delivering the best service and what you promised to deliver. Establish client boundaries that support your personal definition of peace and balance. What works best for you?

Today we are talking about 3 Reasons Why Beck-and-Call is Not Better Business and working by appointment only increases your productivity and effectiveness. There is a huge misconception that the best business is a business that is at the beck-and-call of its clients. The truth is that the best business is a business that effectively sets boundaries, and manages and exceeds client expectations in order to maintain a productive and effective flow. If you are constantly juggling clients, answering the phone at all hours of the day, interrupting your personal time to fit in business, and feeling stressed, here are 3 Reasons Why Beck-and-Call is Not Better Business. 1. It's Impossible to Manage Client Expectations Without structure and a solid foundation of rules and regulations, managing client expectations is impossible. They will expect the world, and will be sorely disappointed, when you do not deliver it. In other words, without boundaries, it's quite possible they will expect everything. You may find yourself, at one point or another, running yourself ragged juggling multiple clients, all of whom expect your undivided attention. When you find it impossible to meet the expectations of your clients, your business will suffer in more than one way. You'll be exhausted and clients will be left dissatisfied. No one wins. Client expectations can only be effectively managed by outlining specific deliverables from the very beginning. If this isn't possible (if the working relationship has already begun), then establish and communicate boundaries to clients as soon as you can. If you can find a way to establish some ground rules (and stay firm to them), your clients will maintain healthy expectations and be satisfied (if not extremely happy) with the results. Establishing ground rules to manage client expectations is much like the tasks you schedule in your planner/calendar: Write it down and honor it. 2. It's Impossible to Effectively Manage Your Business Imagine how effectively you can manage your business when you're struggling to meet multiple demands of multiple clients? Instead of having time to focus on building your business, you'll be struggling just to maintain it. That's no way to run your business. It's much like multi-tasking - it doesn't work well. If you're consumed with meeting the high demands of unbridled client expectations, your business isn't running with the greatest effectiveness or efficiency. You're spending too much time on an overly demanding client, instead of focusing on other areas of your business that also require your attention in order to be successful. You know you're not effectively running your business (it's actually running you) when: • You become exhausted and resentful of demanding clients (and eventually become resentful of your business, which detracts from your path of success). • Highly demanding clients without a ceiling on expectations are impossible to please (and miserable to work with). • Clients with irrational or unreasonable expectations never provide glowing business reviews (they're often negative and damage your professional reputation). • You must have time to focus on other areas of your business other than client service (like finding and signing on prospective clients). • Instead of creating a straight path to success, you're running yourself (and your business) into the ground. If a client requests a service or special attention, offer an additional service or upgraded package in which the client has the option to pay for that additional service. By honoring the ground rules you establish the value of your service, as well as the investment your client makes. 3. It's Impossible to Maintain Peace and Balance If you're constantly juggling unreasonable client expectations, it will be impossible to maintain any sense of peace and balance in your personal or professional life. You may feel like you're sacrificing your personal life for your business, or the important professional tasks that cannot be completed because you're catering to an overly-demanding client. At some point, hopefully before total burnout, you learn to recognize what's really important: sometimes saying no is the best thing. It's vital to learn to say no to over-delivering on services clients have not paid for; no to things you do more out of obligation rather than joy; no to things that consume your schedule leaving little or no down time or freedom to do what you truly want and love to do. When you've overextended yourself too far the only way to regain a sense of peace and balance is to say no. (You can always say ‘yes' later.) You're not alone. It's common for business owners to find difficulty in saying no, especially to their clients. Pay special attention if you see this habit playing out in multiple areas of your life, because it may be a symptom of a much bigger problem: seeking approval. Clients are necessary, but you do not have to sell your soul to win their business. You do not have to be at their beck-and-call to earn their approval. You are a professional, providing a valuable service to a valuable client - that is the focus and the extent of your relationship - and it's perfect just that way. There is no one's approval to meet. You only need focus on delivering the best service and what you promised to deliver. Establish client boundaries that support your personal definition of peace and balance. What works best for you? However that looks, design client boundaries to support your personal and professional life - and the success of your business. Deliver what the client agreed to pay for - no more, no less - and strive to deliver your absolute best each and every time - that's good business practice.

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Seventy-five years ago today, the United States used a new weapon to end a global conflagration that had killed tens of millions of people. With the detonation of atomic bombs, first over Hiroshima and then Nagasaki, America finally broke the will of the Japanese government, precipitating its prompt surrender. Ever since, critics have condemned these actions. Yet, they spared allied military forces and Japan’s population a far more costly invasion of the Home Islands. In addition, these demonstrations of such weapons’ devastating power have helped deter another world war for over seven decades. Today, though, the adequacy of our deterrent is in serious question due to a lack of maintenance and modernization commensurate with the growing threats we face from Russia and China. This solemn anniversary should remind us of the urgent need to attend to the dangers of such a shortfall. This is Frank Gaffney.

Today we are talking about Reason #3 on why beck and call is NOT a better business, which is: It's Impossible to Maintain Peace and Balance. If you're constantly juggling unreasonable client expectations, it will be impossible to maintain any sense of peace and balance in your personal or professional life. You may feel like you're sacrificing your personal life for your business, or the important professional tasks that cannot be completed because you're catering to an overly-demanding client. At some point, hopefully before total burnout, you learn to recognize what's really important: sometimes saying “no” is the best thing.

When you've overextended yourself too far, the only way to regain a sense of peace and balance is to say “no.” (You can always say ‘yes' later.) You're not alone.

It's vital to learn to say “no” to over-delivering on services clients have not paid for; “no” to things you do more out of obligation rather than joy; “no” to things that consume your schedule leaving little or no down time or freedom to do what you truly want and love to do. When you've overextended yourself too far, the only way to regain a sense of peace and balance is to say “no.” (You can always say ‘yes' later.) You're not alone. It's common for business owners to find difficulty in saying no, especially to their clients. Clients are necessary, but you do not have to sell your soul to win their business. You do not have to be at their beck-and-call to earn their approval. You only need focus on delivering the best service and what you promised to deliver. Establish client boundaries that support your personal definition of peace and balance. What works best for you? However that looks, design client boundaries to support your personal and professional life - and the success of your business. Deliver what the client agreed to pay for - no more, no less - and strive to deliver your absolute best each and every time - that's good business practice.

There is a huge misconception that the best business is a business that is at the beck-and-call of its clients. The truth is that the best business is a business that effectively sets boundaries, and manages and exceeds client expectations in order to maintain a productive and effective flow. If you are constantly juggling clients, answering the phone at all hours of the day, interrupting your personal time to fit in business, and feeling stressed, here are 3 Reasons Why Beck-and-Call is Not Better Business. 1. It's Impossible to Manage Client Expectations Without structure and a solid foundation of rules and regulations, managing client expectations is impossible. They will expect the world, and will be sorely disappointed, when you do not deliver it. In other words, without boundaries, it's quite possible they will expect everything. You may find yourself, at one point or another, running yourself ragged juggling multiple clients, all of whom expect your undivided attention. When you find it impossible to meet the expectations of your clients, your business will suffer in more than one way. You'll be exhausted and clients will be left dissatisfied. No one wins. If you can find a way to establish some ground rules (and stay firm to them), your clients will maintain healthy expectations and be satisfied (if not extremely happy) with the results. Establishing ground rules to manage client expectations is much like the tasks you schedule in your planner/calendar: Write it down and honor it. 2. It's Impossible to Effectively Manage Your Business Imagine how effectively you can manage your business when you're struggling to meet multiple demands of multiple clients? Instead of having time to focus on building your business, you'll be struggling just to maintain it. That's no way to run your business. It's much like multi-tasking - it doesn't work well. If you're consumed with meeting the high demands of unbridled client expectations, your business isn't running with the greatest effectiveness or efficiency. You're spending too much time on an overly demanding client, instead of focusing on other areas of your business that also require your attention in order to be successful. You know you're not effectively running your business (it's actually running you) when: • You become exhausted and resentful of demanding clients (and eventually become resentful of your business, which detracts from your path of success). • Highly demanding clients without a ceiling on expectations are impossible to please (and miserable to work with). • Clients with irrational or unreasonable expectations never provide glowing business reviews (they're often negative and damage your professional reputation). • You must have time to focus on other areas of your business other than client service (like finding and signing on prospective clients). • Instead of creating a straight path to success, you're running yourself (and your business) into the ground. By honoring the ground rules you establish, you honor yourself, the value of your service, as well as the investment your client makes. 3. It's Impossible to Maintain Peace and Balance If you're constantly juggling unreasonable client expectations, it will be impossible to maintain any sense of peace and balance in your personal or professional life. You may feel like you're sacrificing your personal life for your business, or the important professional tasks that cannot be completed because you're catering to an overly-demanding client. At some point, hopefully before total burnout, you learn to recognize what's really important: sometimes saying no is the best thing.

Should United Nations peacekeepers be able to pull the trigger more if its mean protecting themselves? Or is it nonsensical to think that peace can be maintained at the barrel of a gun?

It’s Impossible to Manage Client Expectations Without structure and a solid foundation of rules and regulations, managing client expectations is impossible. They will expect the world, and will be sorely disappointed, when you do not deliver it. In other words, without boundaries, it’s quite possible they will expect everything. You may find yourself, at one point or another, running yourself ragged juggling multiple clients, all of whom expect your undivided attention. When you find it impossible to meet the expectations of your clients, your business will suffer in more than one way. You’ll be exhausted and clients will be left dissatisfied. No one wins. Client expectations can only be effectively managed by outlining specific deliverables from the very beginning. If this isn’t possible (if the working relationship has already begun), then establish and communicate boundaries to clients as soon as you can. 2. It’s Impossible to Effectively Manage Your Business Imagine how effectively you can manage your business when you’re struggling to meet multiple demands of multiple clients? Instead of having time to focus on building your business, you’ll be struggling just to maintain it. That’s no way to run your business. It’s much like multi-tasking - it doesn’t work well. If you’re consumed with meeting the high demands of unbridled client expectations, your business isn’t running with the greatest effectiveness or efficiency. You’re spending too much time on an overly demanding client, instead of focusing on other areas of your business that also require your attention in order to be successful. You know you’re not effectively running your business (it’s actually running you) when: • You become exhausted and resentful of demanding clients (and eventually become resentful of your business, which detracts from your path of success). • Highly demanding clients without a ceiling on expectations are impossible to please (and miserable to work with). • Clients with irrational or unreasonable expectations never provide glowing business reviews (they’re often negative and damage your professional reputation). • You must have time to focus on other areas of your business other than client service (like finding and signing on prospective clients). • Instead of creating a straight path to success, you’re running yourself (and your business) into the ground. 3. It’s Impossible to Maintain Peace and Balance If you’re constantly juggling unreasonable client expectations, it will be impossible to maintain any sense of peace and balance in your personal or professional life. You may feel like you’re sacrificing your personal life for your business, or the important professional tasks that cannot be completed because you’re catering to an overly-demanding client. At some point, hopefully before total burnout, you learn to recognize what’s really important: sometimes saying no is the best thing. It’s vital to learn to say no to over-delivering on services clients have not paid for; no to things you do more out of obligation rather than joy; no to things that consume your schedule leaving little or no down time or freedom to do what you truly want and love to do. When you’ve overextended yourself too far the only way to regain a sense of peace and balance is to say no. (You can always say ‘yes’ later.) You’re not alone. It’s common for business owners to find difficulty in saying no, especially to their clients. Pay special attention if you see this habit playing out in multiple areas of your life, because it may be a symptom of a much bigger problem: seeking approval. Clients are necessary, but you do not have to sell your soul to win their business. You do not have to be at their beck-and-call to earn their approval. You are a professional, providing a valuable service to a valuable client - that is the focus and the extent of your relationship - and it’s perfect just that way. There is no one’s approval to meet. You only need focus on delivering the best service and what you promised to deliver. Establish client boundaries that support your personal definition of peace and balance. What works best for you? However that looks, design client boundaries to support your personal and professional life - and the success of your business. Deliver what the client agreed to pay for - no more, no less - and strive to deliver your absolute best each and every time - that’s good business practice.
