How Enthusiasm Can Help You Reach Your Goals

If enthusiasm can be bought as an item from a store, do you think it will sell? And if it does, just how much are you willing to pay for it?

I believe your response will be: “You must be kidding. It’ll be a sellout. The store might probably run out of stock, you’ll have to wait in queue for a long time before you can get your order no matter the price.”

Just how important is enthusiasm in goal realization; in one’s life? It is so important that it occupies one of the top slots in the list of elements needed for successful living. It is so important that it is one of the deciding factors to realize one’s goal.

There is no doubt that everyone likes talking to enthusiastic people, unless a person likes to be in a gloomy state, which I doubt that person does. Enthusiastic people keep the conversation alive and upbeat. You feel like you are partying. And when you feel like partying, you’d wish the night will never end.

Enthusiasm brings out the hyper character in us. It is like adding more wood to a bonfire making you feel like you want to roast marshmallows in it. Honestly, as I am writing this, I’m beginning to be more enthusiastic myself.

The point is, enthusiasm is contagious like a disease. This is one contagious disease that has a desirable effect. Matter of fact, enthusiasm is the only disease everybody wants to contract. If there is a category in the Guinness Book of World Records of being the contagious disease most people would like to have with them, it is enthusiasm. Law enforcers would probably ban quarantine of this disease.

Now, just how do you get enthusiastic especially when your surroundings, the weather condition, and the general situation feels down and out?

Here are some helpful tips to develop enthusiasm:

- Adopt the “as if” principle. It is believed that this was first stated by Professor William James, at times known as the father of American Psychological Science. This is an effective time and people tested principle.

I would suggest at this point that you try to apply the “as if” principle with someone near or beside you to confirm its effectiveness. Think creatively.

Another similar principle is the “what if”. If you are in the business of developing products of specialized use, you are most likely exposed to a lot of experimentation. When you come up with an idea on a product you’d like to try even if the idea seems unconventional, would you try it? Would you be saying to yourself: “What if I try to…”

- Adapt enthusiasm into the “practice makes perfect” principle. In other words, be enthusiastic on almost everything you do every day no matter how insignificant they are, no matter how small they are. All those small things when added up become big. This is the “as if” principle in small ways.

- As you wake up each morning, be enthusiastic about the things you are going to do that day. Bring enthusiasm to even the routinely morning chores like taking a shower, getting dressed, eating breakfast, taking the bus or driving your car (even in heavy traffic), in the office up to the time you reach home for dinner till you go to bed, enthusiastically looking forward to tomorrow.

- Remember that each day in your life is God’s gift to you. Show your appreciation to Him for the gift you receive by being nice to other people, helping others and thanking Him through prayers.

How To Raise Your Credit Score

Posted in Uncategorized by admin Saturday November 22, 2008 at about 7:13 pm

There are many ways to raise your credit score and sadly many consumers are in a position where they need to raise their credit score due to failing to pay their current bills in a timely fashion. There are many programs currently being touted online and even on television that promise to help get you out of debt and raise your credit score. Although there are some companies and debt relief agencies that can help a consumer get out of debt and raise their credit score there are even more that do nothing except put that same consumer even more in debt thereby increasing their financially related stress. However, the truth is a consumer can avoid these entire fly by night debt relief companies and raise their credit score on their own with legitimate techniques that are easy and quick to implement.

The fastest and easiest method to raising your credit score is to make timely payments to your creditors for a period of time until the debt is finally paid off. They key here is to pay off those bills with a monthly amount that equals at the very least the minimum payment. This combination of on time monthly payments will do two things for you. The first benefit is you’re actively paying down your debt which will allow you to see progress as you eliminate your debt and institute a sense of purpose towards a goal of eliminating your debt. The second and most important benefit is based on making those minimum payments on time for an extended time period of say 12-24 months. This eliminating of debt combined with lowering your debt to income ratio significantly increases your credit score. Remember though your credit score will only increase if you make your payments on time and as long as the amount paid is greater then or equal to the minimum payment allowed.

On a side note if you are currently making your monthly payments to your creditors on time and digging yourself out of debt while increasing your credit score you absolutely must avoid applying for any additional credit irregardless if you’re eligible for it or not. There is one main reason behind this bit of advice and it centers on an inquiry against your current credit score and the decrease in credit it causes you. It’s a common known fact that a normal credit inquiry can lower your current credit score by as much as five points. Instead of applying for more credit concentrate your efforts on raising your credit score with some of the following methods.

After you pay off a credit card don’t close out the account. Instead keep the credit card and either don’t use it or use it occasionally while making sure to pay it off entirely each month thereby increasing your credit score. It is better to have fewer cards rather then more. For instance you would rather have three credit cards versus having ten credit cards so feel free to cut down on your overall number of open credit card accounts just make sure to keep at least one or two cards on your account that you use sparingly and pay off each and every month. Another piece of valuable information is to actually review your credit report to make sure there are no visible errors. On the off chance you’re able to find some errors you should make every attempt to correct those errors because they can only improve our credit score.

One final word of caution every time you fail to successfully pay off a debt in the required timeframe it does count against your credit score and stays on your credit record for up to seven years. However the penalty against your credit score does gradually decrease as time progresses.

If you decide to accept credit card over Internet transactions, you will need to take a few important steps toward preparing your business for this exciting venture. First, make sure you have a solid product or service line that you can offer customers who will browse at your site. Next, apply for a merchant services account so that you can become equipped to accept credit payments over the Internet. Third, make sure all technology and information is kept up to date so customers can be served promptly and will want to return, possibly bringing more clients with them.

To prepare your product line services to accept credit card over Internet dealings, you need to create product descriptions, price lists, and attractive, friendly Web content. Ideally your Website should offer visitors a free gift or service, such as helpful information or useful tips about your industry or the services that you provide. This will let your customers view you as the premier information site in your industry, and they may be more likely to bookmark your site or even sign up for a free newsletter that you can send out quarterly or monthly to keep your business name and products in front of them on a continual basis. Consider dropping old-fashioned products or those that do not seem to attract much business. This is the time to upgrade your services, and if feasible, add one or two new items that will put you at the forefront of your field. You need not take on extensive debt for this purpose; you should only spend what you can afford to in order to help your business grow.

The second key to learning how to accept credit card over Internet transactions is to apply for a merchant account with a reliable bank or financial underwriter. There are many companies vying for your business all over the Internet. The tough part for you will be to narrow the field and find a few of the better or more trusted names to investigate a little further. Then you can check with the Better Business Bureau to be sure the companies are reputable and compare prices, terms, and services to get the best possible deal for your company needs. Often you can apply on the Internet, or you can call a toll-free number for a telephone application. Usually you can expect a response within a day or two. If your credit rating is good and you are not involved in any shady dealings, chances are your merchant account will be approved and you can start accepting credit payments pronto.

The third step to preparing to accept credit card over Internet sales is to keep your Website looking great at all times. You should think about hiring a professional Website designer to create and maintain your site. You should upgrade product information and helpful hints on a routine basis, perhaps weekly or monthly. Make sure that the site looks and performs professionally to earn and keep your customers’ respect.

Following these suggestions can get you ready to accept credit card over Internet transactions.
