1.- Debt makes despise the money
To get something without the sweat of the front makes what values less (that is why many people who win the lottery squandering the money quickly).

2.- Debt is a solution short-term financial consequences with material and psychological long-term

5.- Debt makes it difficult save
What is the main excuse for that people do not save? The debts. If they arise contingency: how to pay an unexpected spending? The answer is “with another new debt”.
Even with debts debés seek ways to save, in the same way that those who were trained in survival even with hunger trying to eat as little as possible so that the food they lasts.

6.- Debts you limit and condition mentally
Do you consider able to buy a car, starting a business or buy a housing spot? “Yes, but here a few years”. However many people cannot think get the foregoing without borrowing.
Life is easier to cope to save and then buy spot, that the borrow and end up paying years, the capital, the interests of the capital and other expenses.

7.- Debts you put in an inferior position
The that there is a debt by half makes the debtor feel that the creditor have some control or authority on, and in some situations makes the lender feel right to control in some way to its debtor.

It is clear that who saves because it can is a fortunate, gets a plus for quality of life and sense of security. But the savings alone is not enough.

How a Leader Improve Performance

Posted on March 9, 2010 by myhel

How-a-Leader-Improve-PerformanceAnother issue that several have raised last week is on the conditions that must have now a leader to handle with efficiency to the business strategies and how a leader improve performance for its self and the employers. While there is no a recipe to be successful, in principle, considers that the essential tasks are:

• Knowledge and skills.
• Facilitate the work of employees.
• Maintain a permanent contact with them to know if they are doing good or bad things.
Let’s see then, some reflections on how can a leader improve its performance, which are detailed below:

No sin of superb
Generally, the professionals of various university degrees and graduate, have been trained to be powerful and owners of the truth. Therefore, it is essential that the leader must listen without arrogance understanding that may have only a part of reason that means paying attention to what they say: customers, the experts, competitors, the government, employees and shareholders. Thus, the success passing through the humility of knowing that there are people that we can get to teach, and sometimes a lot.

Convey confidence
The leader may not be the character villain of the series, must ensure that employees are motivated and have enough confidence to tell the problems of work and personal. Also, there are to meet with all the employees to tell as it is going to the company, and if it runs the risk of losing a client, employees have to know.

In this way, the role of the leaders is to ensure that employees are more tranquil doing its job and sufficiently informed as to do so well. Reduce uncertainty and anguish of the employees is the best one can make as a leader, but it is communicating things clearly.

To achieve the leader know that is what we have to do or say, can be transmitted confidence that is ultimately what that is going to make the people will continue or not, by more than take the course power.

Know delegate
The delegation is a concept of the music company pyramid, in which the things have to pass through the manager for after delegate. But when there is confidence, there is no need delegate because everyone knows that is what you have to do. However, a company not only is based on the confidence but also in processes, procedures and policies.

Work in a team
Search for people who have the knowledge and skills necessary for the post, and after having a shared vision with the rest of the team. For more than a brilliant an employee you always have to wonder if it connects with the group and what you can make in regard to their capabilities.

Coordinate tasks in the short and long-term
With regard to the tasks, there are not only to be thinking in the long term, but it is clarity with what is happening today. It is a work of sum coordination between the leader and the equipment, according to how is it structured the company. Also, the connection between what is the short and long-term, must be in the working agenda of the day to day, and it is a process that involves all.

Manage in extreme situations
In times of crisis, one person has to take decisions, since there is no time to think nor seek consensus. In these situations, it is necessary to change the style of leadership and say to which side is going to go. The best that can do is to lower the anguish, maintain the motivation, and be very clear and expeditious, and once that passes the time of crisis, it back to dialog and the meetings.

University Training
To be a good leader, university training (graduate and postgraduate) cannot be put aside but should know what happens in the context. AND listen to the famous expert who came from abroad but also to the person of low resources to learn as it came up there, and to get around in different contexts with people different understanding that it is what the other needs, all this is as important as what you learn in the faculty.

Strike a balance between work and their free time
Unplugged, trying to enjoy as much as possible their free time (family, sports or something you like). And when you go on vacation not forget to turn off the blackberry and not to bring the notebook.
