Idea Spot: Web Sites that Work
How many web sites actually work? Well it really depends on what their owners expect of
them. David MacGregor of Idealog Magazine
says it pays to be very clear about what you want to achieve. The objective of some
sites is to present information about a business or topic and others to convert visitors into
sales.
When you're clear
about your objective you can then decide
what kind of site you need to design and
how to promote it. Otherwise you just
find yourself frustrated, spending time
and money on the activities that deliver
no tangible results.
Planning Checklist:
- Who is your target audience?
- What kind of experience do they want or need?
- What expectations do you have for the site?
- When do you meet your target?
- What happens when you do/don't meet your target?
Healthy Thinking: Maintaining Motivation
Unhealthy emotions such as stress and frustration lead to
a loss of productivity and opportunity. If you want to change how you feel and act, simply
change how you think.
Most of the thoughts that are a barrier to our success aren’t true says Dr Tom Mulholland
of the Healthy Thinking Institute. We have found that
by identifying and changing unhealthy thinking patterns we can reduce frustration by at least
20% in the workplace.
We tell ourselves that we MUST get everything and that we don’t have ANY time. These are
underlying attitudes and simply are not true. I would prefer to get everything done but the
reality is that I have the same amount of time as everyone else. It’s what I do with it
that counts.
Often the difference between anxiety and excitement is our interpretation of the physical
symptoms says Dr Mulholland. You can’t change your personality but you can change your
thinking. It’s the quickest way to get results. Often our greatest barrier is
ourselves.
