Tips from FLOTUS on Leadership

Our First Lady Michelle Obama has done it again!  Every time she speaks she drops us knowledge to help us reflect our own way of thinking and actions! After watching the Democratic National Convention here is what I took away. 

"He believes when you work hard and you cross the door of opportunity, don't slam it! Don't close the door behind you! You REACH BACK and bring others up! @MichelleObama

1. Leadership is 100% about creating new leaders. If you are at the top and love the feeling of being above your subordinates then your motives for leadership are off. Effective leaders lead because they want to create change, influence others to take action, and work their way to a position to challenge the same in others. 

"Being President doesn't change who you are, it reveals who you are." @MichelleObama

2. Leadership is an internal expression of an inward ability. Leaders shouldn't become someone "new" once they get into their position because leadership is not about position. Leadership is about the ability to influence change on any level. It reveals who you are because it should be who you are. 
michelle-obama-dnc-speech-ap-9-5-12.jpg

"That's the man I see in those quiet moments late at night, hunched over his desk, poring over the letters people have sent him," she said. "I see the concern in his eyes ... and I hear the determination in his voice as he tells me, 'You won't believe what these folks are going through, Michelle . it's not right. We've got to keep working to fix this. We've got so much more to do." She added: "I see how that's what drives Barack Obama every single day."

3. Leadership is about the drive! What fuels you to keep going even in difficult situations? Leaders have to have something to refresh their energy. They frequently revisit the reason for the cause. They hear the voices of the people they are working for and figure out solutions to fix them. Leaders are true problem solvers. 

"In the end, for Barack, these issues aren't political. They're personal," she said.

4. Leaders have values. They add value to the issues they value! Simply put they stand for what they believe in.  It allows authenticity and a personal connection to be made.

Three Ways to Achieve Success IMMEDIATELY

1. Define your own success.
When it comes to success I find it interesting that people are always Googling how to make it big or how to makes loads of money. The only way to be successful under your own terms is to define success for yourself. What does it means to be successful? Does it mean a new position? A new salary? A nice car or a house is a fancy neighborhood? You cannot allow others to define success for you. 

2. Route your own success. 
You have to spell out success and then determine how you are going to get there. You know what it takes to get the things you want in life. Everyone knows that to build wealth you have to save and spend below your means. The reason why we aren't all rich is because everyone is not self disciplined enough to reach the goal. Chart your course so that you have a clear idea of where you are headed. (Simply put create goals and write two or three points as to how you are going to reach them!) 

3. Drive your own success. 

Do it! I know it's easier said than done but the people who become the most successful are the one's who don't just plan but do.

Finding Your Lost Motivation

What do you do to re-energize when your spirits are down and you've lost motivation? You've got to do something when your spirits are low? So what can you do besides mope around in misery? Try these tips below!

  1. Write out 5 things you want to achieve. 
  2. Next write out what difference will it make if you actually achieve this goal. 
  3. Is there a tangible picture that you can find of what your achieved goal looks like? Go online and print it out. Tape it in a visible place like your refrigerator. 
  4. Set deadlines for you goals. 
  5. Make it visible.

Energized.jpg


While you're busy working find physical and mental ways to reenergize like:

1. Listening to inspirational music. I've literally had to create an entire CD for each goal. I have one for my non-profit with music all about being important and making a change. When I listen to it I don't only like the songs but the message moves me and reminds me why I'm working. When I start to feel tired I pick the best track and blast it!!

2. Workout. I know what you're thinking but you actually gain energy when you begin to move your muscles.

3. Drink water. Replenish and cleanse your body.

4. Get some sleep. Sometimes you can't worry about it, sleep on it and try it again the next day with a fresh approach.

5. De-stress with a massage. Nothing beats a relaxing message to take your mind off of your worries.

Insider Threat: Can You Protect Your Company?

Insider Threat:  Can You Protect Your Company?

 

As a security expert, I am trained to never leave any rock unturned when it comes to exposing dangerous situations, which is why I often suggest that companies look inside their own walls as they try to protect the classified information they possess.  There has been an increase with insider security threats making the workplace and its employees not part of the solution, but part of the danger.

 

How do you keep your company safe from insider threats?  I searched the web to find some great tips for companies:

 

Educate Employees

In addition to educating employees on what company information is classified or not, you should also educate them on your security policies and procedures.  “Establish a comprehensive awareness program to include annual security training with a testing component, e-mail tips, posters, a letter of support from senior management, self-assessment surveys, awareness luncheons, and a security web site. Better yet, supplement training with awareness briefings,” suggests Gideon T. Rasmussen in Insider Risk Management Guide.  “Briefings give personnel the opportunity to ask questions and put the information security team in the position of advocating security initiatives.

 

Monitor Online Activities

Make sure you have strong account and password policies in place, suggests the article Protecting Against Insider Threat, this will allow you to monitor the online actions of your employees.  “Logging, periodic monitoring, and auditing provide an organization the opportunity to discover and investigate suspicious insider actions before more serious consequences ensue,” states the article.

 

Add Nontechnologists to Security Team

According to an article on DarkReading.com, companies “that performed best in dealing with insiders also had security teams who were not all technologists.”  They suggest adding human-resource, legal and business experts to your security team to make it more well-rounded and effective.

 

Security First & Associates has numerous ways to help your business overcome security threats—inside or outside the walls of your company.  Give us a call—we would love to help!

 

Let Security First & Associates, be your first call, for your security needs!

beauty salon owners linkedin

LinkedIn is the Rodney Dangerfield of social media: despite having 200 million highly influential subscribers, it gets no respect. Even though it is consistently ranked among the social giants Facebook and Twitter, it doesn’t seem to get as much hype from the mainstream media. But as a tool for marketing your beauty salon business, it provides a huge edge over its more popular peers. Because unlike Facebook and Twitter, which regularly exchange cat photos, inane one-liners and political rants from nutty uncles, LinkedIn is all business.

How companies are leveraging LinkedIn

You operate a beauty salon business. Your time and energy is scarce. So why should you worry about LinkedIn? Here are a few ways your peers (there are 1.3 million small-business owners on the network) are employing it to their advantage:

  1. Sharing wins: As a beauty salon business owner, you're working hard. Why not share your success stories? Promoting your accomplishments is just good marketing. And with 2 million C-level executives using the site, you might suddenly find yourself with some deep-pocketed suitors.
  2. Getting referrals: LinkedIn makes it easy to get peer and client endorsements for the work you do. Best part? When someone recommends you or writes a testimonial, everyone within your network sees it in his or her activity feed. This type of social proof is the BEST way of getting new customers.
  3. Finding new talent: If your beauty salon business keeps growing, you'll undoubtedly need to hire new employees. LinkedIn is a great place—scratch that, it’s the BEST place—to find new players to include in your team.
  4. Promoting events: LinkedIn’s event feature is a game changer! It has never been so easy to spread the news and drum up enthusiasm about upcoming events, sales and get togethers. You can even use their service directory to find professional event planners to help you.
  5. Boosting website traffic: A little-known secret about LinkedIn is that it’s very influential with Google; if you have a presence on LinkedIn, you’re likely to see a jump in search engine visibility, too. More clicks = more customers!
  6. Getting answers: LinkedIn is a goldmine for information on operating a successful beauty salon business. You can uncover great advice from some of the savviest business minds in the world in LinkedIn Answers and Groups. You will discover over 2000 groups devoted to small-business and beauty salon business related topics.
  7. Finding investors, vendors and partners: It’s a networker’s paradise. Whether you require some capital, a new accounting firm, or even a beauty salon business partner, you’re not going to find a better resource than LinkedIn. Anywhere.

We’re just scratching the surface here, folks. The benefits don’t end there. Pay a visit to LinkedIn, set up a page for your business and see for yourself. I know your time is scarce, but trust me, it’s worth it.

Black History Month 2013

Years from now History will recall that February, 2013 was the first Black History Month celebrated after the United States had re-elected its first Black president.  February, 2009 was also significant, but the re-election may hold more historical significance.

 

Black History Month is always an opportunity to reflect on what has been, and is the Black Experience in America.  It has been a turbulent existence; yet it is an existence rooted in resilience and accomplishment.  It is an experience ordained and protected by the Master.

 

When kings and queens from the west coast of Africa were shipped to the east coast of the United States to become the property of plantation owners, many wondered how the Master could forsake them.  How could the Master allow men to own other men?  How could the Master allow these owners to hate and demean and persecute other humans?  I don’t know that an answer will ever be known, but I do know that the Black Experience in America is still alive and still strong.  That could not be unless there was a Divine plan.  A Divine protection.

 

As time went on, Black Americans were able to survive the cruelties of that peculiar institution and found ways to thrive in an environment that was ultra-racist.  To consider where Black Americans are today compared to 1865 is nothing less than amazing.  Actually it is Amazing Grace.  Black Americans have been continually rebuked and scorned only to reemerge stronger.  No other people have been as persecuted or discriminated against in this country as Black Americans.  And yet we’re still here mining out respect and opportunity from wherever it may come.

 

The resilience of Black Americans has served the United States well.  Blacks Americans have become renowned scientists, surgeons, and physicians saving lives all of the world.  Black Americans designed the U.S. capital and created the traffic light.  Two Black Americans have served on the Supreme Court.  Black Americans own TV networks, recording companies, movie studios, newspapers and publishing companies.  Black Americans are presidents of universities, CEOs of fortune 500 companies, and government officials all over the country.  And yes, the President of the United States is a Black American.

 

We may never know what the Master’s plan is, but I will suggest that there is a Divine reasoning and purpose that has enabled Black Americans to survive the struggles and strife of this existence.  A purpose that has taken us from the Middle Passages to Jim Crow to a Civil Rights Movement lead by a King.  If it was not true, we would not be here.

Pinterest

I know, I know. You don’t have the time for an alternate social network. Nevertheless I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t talk up Pinterest, as this image-centric social network has become an amazing spot for beauty salon businesses to:

  • Meet new customers
  • Boost website traffic
  • Increase brand recognition
  • Drive sales activity

So let’s run through why this visual social network so cool—and so effective as a marketing strategy.

Visually pleasing! Less whining!

Instead of being a platform for tedious updates of what people ate for breakfast or ALL CAPS rants from your weird uncle, Pinterest is all about bringing people together who have common interests, whether it’s fashion, beauty, art, food, crafts, architecture, photography, cocktail recipes, interior design..you name it. Copyblogger contributor Beth Hayden sums up Pinterest very well with this quote: “Pinterest is visually appealing, positive, and unlike Facebook, there isn’t any whining.” Can I get an amen?!

Why are marketers so energized about Pinterest?

For starters, the site is incredibly popular. Last year, in a five month span, Pinterest rocketed to a jaw-dropping 10 million users. No one was expecting it. Even social media watchers were caught off guard. Almost overnight Pinterest became a MAJOR driver of online traffic. Get this: Pinterest drives more traffic than YouTube, Google and LinkedIn—combined. Here’s another thing: users love Pinterest. They can’t get enough. It’s addictive. As per comScore data Pinterest users average 89 minutes monthly on the site and Google users average just 3 minutes per month.

So what?

Why should beauty salon businesses like yours care about Pinterest? It’s really quite simple. First of all, the site is a low-key, non-threatening method to meet consumers who are passionate about what you’re interested in! This built-in permission makes it possible to build new relationships with others in your target market. Secondly, Pinterest is a fantastic place showcase your products or services, stay top of mind and grow your “tribe” of like-minded people. Just create an account. You’ll see an array of businesses on the site, such as…

  • Beauty Salon Businesses
  • Hair Artists
  • Makeup Artists
  • Fitness Coaches
  • Yoga Studios
  • Non-profit Organizations
  • Jewelry Makers

The list is endless.

No excuses; start pinning!

Most businesses tend to swiftly think of reasons why they shouldn’t use social media—nevertheless the truth is, many sell themselves short and don’t become involved because they don’t think they have a natural place in a certain network. Now, if you run a bookkeeping business, maybe Pinterest isn’t the best fit, but then again, it’s quite possible that you might be a trailblazer and use Pinterest to showcase your business and have great success. Hey, if a plumbing franchise in Waco, Texas can make Pinterest benefit their business, you can too! It’s just too easy to sell yourself short and come up with reasons to remain on the sidelines!
