A mind-set is a way we organize our thinking, whether consciously or unconsciously. Most of the time, we act based on unconscious mind-sets that simply repeat what we've done most recently. In a new situation where our conscious mind is engaged, we may also repeat past behavior because when faced with a new choice, we often search through our alternatives in a predictable pattern that includes some perspectives while ignoring many others.Organizations develop their mind-sets through rules, processes, and rituals, as well as through the mind-sets of those who work in them. The fewer people who enter an organiz
I had a lunch meeting in an office building with a large open atrium the other day. It was a very nice spring day and the atrium was filled with sunlight. On the edges of the space were large trees and full green plants. These plants closely surrounded tables and chairs.We had our meeting in the atrium because it felt like being outside without the chill of a typical Midwest spring day. After the meeting, as I was getting ready to go I noticed that the plants were fake and I thought they were real. But the trees were large, about 14" tall so I knew they were real. Wrong again. I had to get very close but s
Preventing down time is, therefore, a vital consideration in daily operations. There are, to be sure, causes of computer down-time that cannot be anticipated or prevented. There are, however, things a small business can do to protect itself from some of the leading causes of computer outages and reduced functionality. Many of the leading causes of computer or system outages can be avoided with preventative service maintenance.
Few small business owners would ignore preventative dental treatments or automobile maintenance. Yet many people either do not understand or do not give the same attention to preventative service maintenance of their computers, networks, applications, and other systems. The simple truth is this: regular preventative maintenance can prevent hard drive crashes, damaged power supplies, overheating, lockups, freezes, intermittent interruptions, and more.
Many people also believe that once an IT system is created and programmed, it will need no further attention unless something goes wrong. They do not understand that programs must be updated and that other changes are necessary to keep a system functioning at peak efficiency. Computers, programs and systems integration must be updated, patches mus
How many times have you purchased leads from an Internet lead provider or direct mail vendor, only to wonder…Where are my leads? Has anyone called my lead? Did we sell cars from our leads? Are there any referrals?At the end of the month did your lead provider leave you with more questions than answers? What happens with your lot-ups? Are there follow-up and closing opportunities at the bottom of your sales rep’s drawer? What about those phone calls that come straight into the dealership? Is your lead on the back of a salesman’s business card?It has been our experience that

1. Dust removal. The first step in preventative maintenance of a computer is regular removal of the dust that accumulates in a computer. Dust buildup causes overheating and can cause various components in your computer to fail. In fact, studies have shown that 84% of computer and system problems result from overheating caused by dust and dirt in the computer.
