secret

the secret to a good life is not about having a positive

attitude; it’s about taking positive actions.

is all about asking the right

questions, taking the right actions, and finally, navigating

safely through obstacles and roadblocks.

And as the pressure mounts, most of us also find that we have fewer moments of

happiness, less time for our family and friends, and little or no

time for ourselves and our dreams.

A sense of hope combined with hard work

and tenacity always delivers results

Some people react to a hot,

humid 90 degree day as the perfect beach day. Other people

react to the very same weather as tiring, stifling, and downright

unpleasant. Who’s right? What’s real?

I begin asking a lot of questions like: “What can I do to

make this easier? What can I do to make things go more

smoothly? What do I need to do to feel better?”

The sooner I can shift into action, the better off things become and

the sooner I begin to feel better.

13 Exceptionally Amazing Business Tips

13 Exceptionally Amazing Business Tips that aren't only for business. They can be put into practice in our everyday life.

If you are hoping for some kind of ‘secret’ or ‘magic pill’, I am sorry but you will not find it within this post. In fact, I can assure you that you will not find it anywhere else on the Internet either.

However, that doesn’t spell doom and surely doesn’t mean that you will never be able to achieve your goal of making money online. While there are no secrets or magic pills, there are tips and points that can help you in your journey. Below you’ll find 13 of them.

1. Have a concise goal and plan

You need to have a goal and a plan. Don’t even think of running aimlessly and blindly. It won’t work. Be realistic in whatever you set out to achieve. Do not expect to make millions within a month or so. Have the courage to take actions and constantly remind yourself to why you ought to set out doing so.

2. Don’t even think of doing it alone. You are no genius

You may be good at a certain field, but you’ll inevitably need others to achieve success. Find a great mentor and learn to trust that person. It doesn’t have to be someone you personally know, as long as you can learn from him/her and build a relationship that is mutually beneficial.

3. Don’t ever think of quitting. Failure is just part of succeeding

Do you want to know the real truth behind most millionaires? They were willing to do what it takes, and they persisted even when things were falling apart. Nothing will ever come easy or cheap. Success comes to those who work hard and don’t quit.

4. You are who you are. Don’t even for a second think of faking it

Be genuine about who you are. Don’t try the “fake it till you make it” strategy or you might get burned. People can see right through to what you are, and they will move away if they perceive you are posing.

5. Think outside of the box

Get creative. Create the opportunities instead of waiting for one to come falling onto your lap. Keep your options open. Build networks and drive in ideas. It could be crazy, it would be silly, it can be wacky, but such ideas have eventually make many millions online.

6. The art of multitasking – expand your horizons

I understand the importance of focusing, but to an extent, you must deliberately learn to expand your horizons. Do not constantly put yourself onto a fix, rigid position. Don’t tie yourself down. Learn to diverse and see opportunities in a many different things as possible.

7. Trust your gut and your instinct

Your head speaks of what you think is logical, where else your gut and instinct takes you to what may seem impossible. Are you willing to strive into the unknown?

8. Have a vision

You need to be able to visualize how your life will look like when you achieve your goals and consider yourself successful. What kind of business will you have? What kind of customers? How will your day looks like?

9. Turn obstacles into opportunities

We all face obstacles, be it in our personal or professional life. The ones who succeed are those who know how to turn obstacles into opportunities. For example, even if you fail at something, make sure to learn something out of that experience.

10. Take action

So far we talked about goals, vision, not giving up and so on. It is all cool and dandy, but at the end of the day you need to take action if you want to succeed. Roll up your sleeves and start working! And repeat this day after day.

11. Be willing to take risks

Life in itself is a all about taking risks. If you want to succeed and make money online you must be willing to risk. You need to step out of your comfort zone. That is when real things get done.

12. Develop the ability to listen

We have one mouth and two ears, but few of us behave proportionally. Learn to listen. You will see there are many benefits when you talk less and listen more. You get to collect more new ideas and inspiration, earn trust and respect and ultimately, know more. Utilize what you have congregate wisely and see that you benefit from it.

13. Have the power to believe when others don’t

Don’t let others be the reason and support you need to achieve your goals. Believe in what you can do and decide to stick with it. You don’t need others telling you what you can do or can’t. Convinced yourself that you will be able to do it in any way possible. If you fail, that is just part of the process of succeeding. Be strong! Stay Strong! It is ultimately your own responsibility to see to where you are going, not others.

Architect - Roles - expectations laymen view

From a business-centric perspective, architects should be corporate assets, not code designers. There are five dimensions to a software architect role: 1. technology 2. consulting 3. strategy 4. organizational politics 5. leadership Technology should consume perhaps less than 20% of an architect's day. Projects don't fail because of bad design or ugly code or improper/inefficient testing or even a wrong choice of technologies. There is no such thing as a perfect technology for a task at hand, only bad leaders and poor visionaries. The above mentioned are but consequences of poor organizational choices and a lack of focus. And patterns? They are but a convenient communication framework of the day. Should we know it as architects? Yes. At least we should know where the repositories are, and how to look through the repositories for a match with a task at hand

The scope of assessing an architect varies based on the role he/she is likely to play(Application/Domain Architect, Solutions architect and Enterprise architect). So mere asking some technical questions like final, finally and finalize will not help to select a good architect. Questions like the below one might be more practical: For an Application Architect : 1. Give a project requirement and ask him to depict the Application and System Architecture models then start ur question based on it... that will give a good idea. 2. All NFR questions.3. Design methodologies used, issues, solutions.4. Give a scenario ask them to design... - classdiagram, seq or deployment or component etc...5. Questions on design patterns6. Question on Team lead and peer interaction, presentations.
For a Solutions Architect: Questions about the project dependent items - like Infrasture team, security, development team - should be asked.
For an Enterprise Architect: 1. governance capabilities2. Future roadmap 3. procurement 4. compare products5. Business Interaction for new proposals and vicecersa.

Management Excellence

Most business people would be familiar with the concept of operational excellence, but it turns out this is not enough anymore to make a strategic difference. Competitive advantage is no longer achieved by just eliminating cost while improving quality and increasing speed. Competitive advantage comes from being smart, agile, and aligned.


Creating management excellence is the goal of performance management. It has
many angles, so the journal will have many topics to address. Although the
editorial calendar for the coming quarters is still flexible, themes that come to mind
are sustainability, how to organize for performance management, performance
management methodologies, and creating business value, etc.


But what do we call the management process? When we ask this to customers and
audiences all around the world, the answer is either silence, or a flurry of different
activities and partial processes such as budgeting, financial reporting, resource
management, and variance analysis, etc. The closest thing people mention to
describe their management process is the PDCA-cycle (Plan, Do, Check, Adjust).
This cycle is sometimes also called the planning and control cycle, or management
cycle. Sometimes it involves more steps, but it is always based on this principle.
It is concerning, almost scary, that the management processes are not as clearly
defined as business processes, as the competitive advantage that organizations can
have is increasingly dependent on the management process, instead of business
processes. Most organizations have done a terrific job in driving cost out of the
process while optimizing the quality of the products and services they offer. Then
again, most organizations have done that. Operational excellence is not a
differentiator anymore; it has become a license to just play. For winning, more is
needed. Organizations that make a difference are smart, agile and aligned.
