This Life is Yours

 

 

In our daily hectic life, we try our best to balance our Professional & Personal Life but Life goes on and we are stuck in vicious routine. Here are few things to ponder:

 

 

Alternatives: Use reasonable alternatives to become effective. Teleconferencing or webinars may work instead of personal meetings. Especially, if attendees may have to travel distances

 

Filling the void: If you have periods of little or no work, use it aggressively to update your marketing materials, improve your website, read those magazines that have accumulated on your desk or, relax with that good book you've been meaning to read

 

 

Apply your value: Ignore the perceptions, myths and unquestioned truths in your marketplace. Don't get dragged out to sea with the undercurrent of your competitors reducing prices because of the "economy". Reach out laterally and free yourself of insane price-cutting. Charge what you're worth. Value is value

 

 

Network, recommend, refer and receive: No matter how busy you think you may be, make the time to network with influencers and prospective clients. Be a person of value by referring and recommending others where it is appropriate and makes sense. It will come back to you in the same way

 

 

What about you?: Take some time for yourself. Go to the movies, read a book, go for a drive, pursue your hobbies ... share an ice cream with your loved ones.

 

 

Remember, work is merely a means to a greater end

@ SR Shyam Sunder:
Hi, thanks for the comment. I am a recruiter but along with the recruitment activities, my scope of work also involves Finance & HR Activities. In my previous Article (http://toostep.com/insight/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-recruitment-specialist), I was not promoting dumb machine (Robotic Routine) but just mentioned the hectic life style, which prevails here in UAE. This is not only for me but for most of people working here, irrespective of whether he/she is professional or the business person. Nevertheless, I do manage myself to be in pace with time for other (human)activities as well! :). Regards, great day!

But your earlier insight suggested that you as ....recruitment specialist..... were clearly promoting a dumb machine rather than a human being!!  I like this more!!
@ Nitin: Ha ha ha.. True Nitin. As you must have noticed, I was totally silent ..zzzz... for about 2 months or so. Was on vacation & then was caught up in "routine". had to get out of it! Thanks for the doses, I need this prescription! :)
