Eleven Ways
to Stop Your
Drama in 2011
by Marlene Chism

1. Stop comparing yourself to others.
You are unique and so is the next person. As my algebra
teacher used to say, you can’t compare an apple with a
Billy-goat. Instead appreciate your blessings and compliment
others on their skills, abilities and attributes. Comparing
yourself is just drama. If you want to improve in some area,
go ahead and take action, but quit using other people as the
benchmark for your success.
2. Stop engaging with negative people.
Negative people are all around, but you don’t have to have
the last word, nor do you have to point out to them how
negative they are. Instead of engaging, or trying to change

 Small
businesses often face a sobering reality: they know there
are technology applications that could make their business

Build a team.
It's a tall
order to expect one person to efficiently develop a
comprehensive recovery plan by themselves. After all,
they have to account for every reasonable interruption
across the entire business. There are just too many
moving pieces. There is power in numbers and at worst,
two heads are better than one. Assembling a team will
give you the ability to share information, brainstorm,
and create a natural sounding board to bounce off ideas.
During an
actual recovery, having a team provides additional
advantages. If the team leader is not available, others
will be familiar with the plan and can execute it. This
built-in redundancy to your recovery response helps
ensure a quick and efficient return to business as
usual. |
