The Best Way to Organize Your Day

The Best Way to Organize Your Day

Many people use a to-do list to help organize their day. While it is true that any to-do list is better than having none, there is a “best way” to use to-do lists to maximize your productivity. Most people either put too little on their to-do list or they put too much. If you put too little then you are not really organizing yourself and the list will be of little help. If you put too much then that can have two potential problems; either you have so much that you haven’t really provided any organizing structure or you have so much that just looking at it over whelms you. The solution to this problem is to use the Six Key Activities System. This concept of working to a list of six key activities was first developed around one hundred years ago and has be refined since then into a highly efficient system. The story goes that Charles Schwab, the president of the largest steel company in the world at that time, was approached by a man with the original six key activities system. He told Schwab to write day the six most important objectives for his day, then prioritize them, and then focus on achieving those six goals. Any that he did not achieve in the day he was to move to top priority on the next day’s list of six. This man suggested that Schwab try this system for 30 days and then pay him what he thought the advice had been worth. Schwab did this and at the end of the 30 days paid the man ,000. At this time in history most workers were earning less than ,000 per year so ,000 was a fortune. If the president of one of the largest companies in the world thinks this simple system was so valuable to him then perhaps you should be using it too. In the hundred years that has past since then we have learned a lot about how the human mind works and as a result have further refined this brilliant system. Here is how it is used today. Always prepare your list at the end of the day before. Science has discovered that the subconscious mind spends approximately half of your sleeping time in digesting the day’s events and organizing them into patterns that will determine how you operate in life. If you prepare your list at the end of the day then that list will become a part of the subconscious organizing and will therefore be easier to accomplish the next day. Here’s the way to do it. Step 1: You start by reviewing the just completed day and ask yourself what you achieved and whether or not those achievements took you a step closer to your goal. Step 2: Brainstorm everything that you have to do the next day and make sure that you include actions toward your major goals. Step 3: Read your list and see how many of those things you can delegate to someone else. Step 4: Select the six most important items and place them in order of priority on your Six Key Actions list. Step 5: Start each day by reading over your Six Key Action list that you prepared the day before. Step 6: Focus on achieving those six key items during the day. As you complete each task mark it off and jot down a brief result of your actions. Step 7: Start the process again at the end of the day. If you have any items left on your list make sure that they are the top priority on your next day list. If you make a habit of following this simple seven step process then you will discover why Charles Schwab happily paid ten times the average wage for this valuable productivity system.

The Well-Aligned Enterprise Using the Right Operating Principle Goes Further

The Well-Aligned Enterprise Using the Right Operating Principle Goes Further

Most organizations make it too hard for leaders and their colleagues to understand what must be done. They publish long lists of values and proper actions, but those lists overwhelm those who seek true understanding . . . especially when a new circumstance arises.

A much better approach is to identify a key operating principle that everyone can easily apply to whatever situation comes up. This not only saves time; it also encourages action over inaction.

Let’s look at an example. Charles Schwab, the discount stock broker, has always based its business on providing good service to its customers at the lowest possible cost. That’s the key operating principle that guides everything done at Charles Schwab.

It turns out that this operating philosophy is a perfect fit for what customers want and matches a key irresistible force in the brokerage industry. Let’s see why.

In the early days, the company found that customers who placed an order to buy or sell a security wanted to find out what had happened to their orders. Charles Schwab obliged its customers by placing calls promptly to let them know. To reduce its costs to provide this service, the company became a pioneer in developing computer systems to give its customers more information.

Experience with this dual approach of providing more help but at lower cost caused the company to think about other areas where customers would also like more help, at low cost. One innovation was the One Source service, where customers could buy or sell any of hundreds of mutual funds through Charles Schwab at no cost, and receive the convenience of one account statement for all these transactions. The company blossomed and became a pioneer and the early leader in Internet-based stock trading as well.

Charles Schwab continues to be a pioneer in offering new services based on computer systems that enhance service while reducing costs for everyone. That’s another breakthrough solution.

Is your enterprise effectively aligned to serve the irresistible force of customer demand for better services, more services, and lower costs?

What operating principle could you employ? Does the operating principle at Charles Schwab fit your industry’s irresistible forces?

A good way to encapsulate such a principle is to also tell a story that will exemplify the principle. At Charles Schwab, for instance, people hear about the early days of making all of those telephone calls.

Today’s version of that story was captured by a new advertisement that Charles Schwab is running on television. In the ad, a customer talks about how easy it is to consolidate retirement accounts and operate a Schwab on-line account. How does Schwab do it? They assign a concierge to do all the heavy lifting of making these changes and helping the new customer learn how to use the on-line tools.

Couldn’t you use a concierge to do heavy lifting when you are the customer?

1St Quarter Earnings Season Kicks Off

1St Quarter Earnings Season Kicks Off

Earnings Preview 4/9/10

Next week is the “kick-off” for the first quarter earnings season. Of course, there are a few firms that have already reported, but all of them have February fiscal period ends, and should be considered part of the pre-game festivities.

Alcoa (AA) will report on Monday after the bell and really get the game started. There are not a lot of companies reporting next week, only 61 in total, but what reports lack in quantity they will make up for in importance.

In addition to Alcoa, 20 more S&P 500 firms will report, including such important bellwethers as CSX (CSX) in Transportation, JPMorgan (JPM) and Bank of America (BAC) in Banking, Intel (INTC ) and Google (GOOG) in Technology, and General Electric (GE), which is probably the best one company proxy around for the overall U.S. economy.

The economic data calendar will also be potentially market-moving. We start out the week with the monthly Treasury budget numbers to see how big the deficit is, then get data on the Trade Deficit on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the focus shifts to Inflation as the CPI is released. Wednesday will also see the Retail sales numbers and the Fed Beige Book.

On Thursday, as always, we get the initial and continuing unemployment claims data. More importantly on Thursday will be the report on Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization. Finally, we finish out the week with Housing Starts and Building Permits, and well as the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment survey. Any one of those results has the potential to significantly move the markets.

Monday

•    The Treasury Budget is released. The headline number will be the size of the monthly deficit. However, it will be interesting to see how much of it comes from falling revenues vs. how much from increased spending, and where the spending is increasing. This data is highly seasonal, but is not seasonally adjusted. Thus, ignore the month-over-month comparisons, and focus on the year-over-year changes. In March of 2009, the Federal Government bled 1.6 billion in red ink, and will probably hemorrhage more this year.

Tuesday

•    The Trade Deficit will be reported. In February it was .3 billion, an improvement over the .9 billion of January, but the improvement came for the wrong reasons — both imports and exports fell. Look for the March deficit to be in the same neighborhood as the February shortfall, but with both imports and exports rising. Rising oil prices will be a major cause of the rise in imports.

Wednesday

•    The Consumer Price Index will most likely remain very well controlled, particularly if one strips out food and energy prices. In February, the overall index was unchanged and the core rose just 0.1%. Look for headline to be well above the core in March thanks to higher energy prices. The core index is heavily influenced by housing costs, most notably rent and owners-equivalent rent. Look for those components to be either unchanged or down slightly. A higher-than-expected reading, particularly for the core, would be very bad news for the markets since it would raise expectations that the Fed would tighten sooner than people now expect. However, the current data suggests that Unemployment and slack capacity are still much bigger economic problems than inflation, and thus the Fed is likely to keep the Fed funds rate at its current near-zero level for at least the rest of 2010.

•    Retail sales should be very strong in March, as evident by the extremely strong same-store sales reports from the major retail chains. Auto sales were also strong in March. Look for an acceleration from the overall rate of 0.3% growth in February and the 0.8% rate excluding autos.

•    The Beige Book comes out in the afternoon. It is a collection of mostly anecdotal data collected from the 12 Federal Reserve districts and provides some color on the economy. Look for it to show the economy to be recovering but from a very depressed overall level.

Thursday

•    Weekly initial claims for unemployment insurance come out. They rose 18,000 in the last week, to 460,000. After a huge downtrend from mid-April through the end of 2009, initial claims have become very erratic so far in 2010. Look for them to fall back modestly next week. Overall we have made good progress, but not good enough. We probably need for weekly claims (and the four-week moving average of them) to get down to closer to 400,000 to signal that the economy is, on balance, adding jobs. We are a lot closer now than we were last spring when they were running north of 640,000 on a consistent basis, but still have a ways to go.

•    Continuing claims have also been in a steep downtrend of late. However that is in part due to people simply exhausting their regular state benefits, which run out after 26 weeks. If one factors in the extended claims paid by the Federal government as part of the Stimulus program, claims soared last week. Looking at just the regular continuing claims numbers is a serious mistake. They only include a little over half of the unemployed now given the unprecedentedly high duration of unemployment figures. Last week regular continuing claims were 4.550 million, down 131,000 from the previous week. Extended claims (paid from Federal ARRA funds) were 5.808 million, a decrease of 224,000. Make sure to look at both sets of numbers! Many of the press reports will not, but we will here at Zacks.

•    Industrial Production should continue to rise in March, and at a faster pace than the 0.1% gain in February. Most of February’s gain came from Mining and Utility output, as manufacturing output actually fell 0.2%. Weather is often as much of a factor in Utility output as is the rate of economic activity. Gains should be more on the order of the gains seen in January when both overall industrial output, and manufacturing output climbed by 0.9%.

•    The same report will also show the rate of Capacity Utilization, which in February rose slightly to 72.7% overall, but slipped in Manufacturing to 69.0%. As with Production, the Utility utilization rate is often as much a function of Weather as economic activity, so see if the overall change is matched by the change for manufacturing. While Utilization rates have been trending upward over the last 8 months, they remain at extremely depressed levels, particularly for Manufacturing. The manufacturing rate would have to rise by 10 full percentage points just to get us back to the long-term average rates of utilization. It is very unlikely that core inflation will take off with utilization rates that depressed. These reports are very important and very under reported and it would be worth your while to pay attention to them.

Friday

•    Housing remains the key thorn in the side of the overall economy. Traditionally residential investment is the key locomotive leading the economy out of recessions, but not this time. Housing starts dropped to an annual rate of just 575,000 in February, virtually unchanged from the year before. With New Home Sales Setting back-to-back record lows in January and February, it is likely that starts will continue to be very slow, as the last thing that builders want to do now is build a lot of speculative inventory. However, we might see some rise on a month-to-month basis since some housing starts might have been put off in February due to the snow storms. Also, most of the February decline in starts was in the very volatile apartment area.

•    Building Permits are the best leading indicator of housing starts. They were running at an annual rate of 612,000 in February, which would indicate some rise in housing starts in March. Look for a small increase in Permits in March.

Potential Positive Surprises

Historically the best indicators of firms likely to report positive surprises are a recent history of positive surprises and rising estimates going into the report. The Zacks Rank is also a good indicator of potential surprises. While normally firms that report better-than-expected earnings rise in reaction, that has not been the case so far this quarter. While pickings are getting slim, some of the companies that have these characteristics include:

Fairchild Semiconductor (FCS) is expected to report EPS of 0.23, up from a loss of .32 per share a year ago. Last time out, FCS posted a positive surprise of 35.3%, and over the last month the mean estimate for its fourth quarter earnings is up 2.43%. FCS has a Zacks #1 Rank.

Peabody Energy (BTU) is expected to post EPS of .42, down from .50 a year ago. Last time, BTU beat expectations by 43.3%, and over the last month analysts have raised their estimates for the about to be reported quarter by 0.12%. BTU is a Zacks #2 Ranked stock.

Talbots (TLB) is expected to post EPS of .02 as opposed to a loss of .40 a year ago. Last time out the company blew away expectations by 293.8%. The analysts have become far more bullish about the soon-to-be-reported quarter, raising their estimates over the last month by 85.7% (OK, with rounding it’s an increase from .01 to .02). TLB is a Zacks #2 Ranked stock.

Potential Negative Surprises

Charles Schwab (SCHW) is expected to post EPS of .11 a share, down from .19 a year ago. Last time they reported 6.7% below expectations. For this Zacks #4 Rank stock, analysts have cut the estimates for this quarter over the last month by 25.6%.

CVB Financial (CVBF) is expected to earn .13 a share this quarter, unchanged from a year ago. They were 91.1% below expectations last time out. Analysts have cut the estimate for this quarter by 8.7% over the last month. The stock holds a Zacks #5 Rank.

Modern America’s 5 Greatest Entrepreneurs

(20 th  Century)

Success breeds success

Even in the best of times, the majority of small businesses fail. Here’s a brief examination of 5 some entrepreneurs who not only succeeded but amassed business empires, and the personal riches that came with them.

1. Sam Walton

Samuel Moore “Sam” Walton (March 29, 1918 – April 5, 1992) was a businessman and entrepreneur born in Kingfisher, Oklahoma best known for founding the retailers Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club.

The first true Wal- Mart opened on July 6, 1962 in Rogers, Arkansas. It was called the Wal-Mart Discount City store and located at 719 West Walnut Street. Soon after, the Walton brothers teamed up with the business-savvy Stefan Dasbach, leading to the first of many stores to come. He launched a determined effort to market American-made products. Included in the effort was a willingness to find American manufacturers who could supply merchandise for the entire Wal-Mart born in Kingfisher, Oklahoma best  known for founding the retailers Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club.

The Walton family held five spots in the top ten richest people in the United States until 2005. Two daughters of Sam’s brother Bud Walton, Ann Kroenke and Nancy Laurie, hold smaller shares in the company.

Sam Walton picked a market no one else wanted and instituted a distribution system no one had tried in retail. By building warehouses between his Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) outlets, Walton saved on shipping costs and shortened delivery times.

Walton also instituted state-of-the-art inventory controls, enabling his company to sell merchandise for less than his competitors could. Rather than booking all of the savings as profits, Walton passed some on to his customers.

Sam Walton picked a market no one else wanted and instituted a distribution system no one had tried in retail. By building warehouses between his Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) outlets, Walton saved on shipping costs and shortened delivery times.

2. Charles Schwab

Charles R. Schwab (born July 29, 1937) is the founder and chairman of the Charles Schwab Corporation.

Schwab was born in Sacramento, California and attended school at Holy Rosary Academy in  Woodland, California.. Schwab is dyslexic but did not know he had the disorder until he was 40, and had no interest in it until he learned his son was dyslexic. One of the aims of the Charles and Helen Schwab Foundation is to assist children with the disorder. On the 2009 Forbes 400 list, Schwab is listed as the 50th richest person in the US with a fortune of approximately .7 billion.

Charles Schwab took Charles Merrill’s love of the little guy and belief in volume over price into the Internet age. While Merrill had lured the individual investor back to the market after the 1929 crash, Schwab has made it cheap enough for him to stay.

Schwab was the first businessman to offer discount brokerage services to individual investors after May 1, 1975, the date brokerages moved from fixed commissions on securities transactions to negotiated fees.

Schwab’s company cut costs by trimming its research staff, stock analysts and financial advisers. From a bare-bones base, he added features that mattered most to his clientele, such as 24-hour service and additional branches.

3. Walt Disney

Walter Elias “Walt” Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor,animator, entrepreneur, entertainer, international icon and philanthropist. Disney is famous for his influence in the field of entertainment during the 20th century. As the co-founder (with his brother Roy Disney ) of Walt Disney Productions, Disney became one of the best-known motion picture producers in the world. The corporation he co-founded, now known as The Walt Disney Company , today has annual revenues of approximately U.S. billion.

Disney is particularly noted for being a film producer and a popular showman, as well as an innovator in animation and theme park design. He and his staff created a number of the world’s most famous fictional characters including Micky Mouse, a character for which Disney himself was the original voice. He has won 26 Academy Awards out of 59 nominations, including a record four in one year, giving him more awards and nominations than any other individual. He also won seven Emmy Awards. He is the namesake for Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort ,theme parks in the United States, as well as the international resorts inJapan, France and China.

Disney died of lung cancer in Burbank, California on December 15, 1966. The following year, construction began on Walt Disney World Resort in Florida . His brother Roy Disney inaugurated The Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971.

Walt Disney was a gifted animator for an advertising company in the late 1920s when he began creating his own animated shorts in a studio garage. One of his characters, Mickey House was inspired by the mice that roamed his office.

The commercial success of Mickey Mouse allowed Disney to hire other animators, musicians and artists to create a cartoon factory. Disney and his crew turned that early success into a cultural juggernaut including amusement parks, TV shows and movie studios.

Today, the company (DIS) that bears the animator’s name is the nation’s largest media and entertainment conglomerate.

4. Bill Gates

William Henry “Bill” Gates III (born October 28, 1955)   is an American business magnet, philanthropist, author, and chairman of Microsoft, the software company he founded with Paul Allen. He is consistently ranked among the world’s wealthiest people and was the wealthiest overall from 1995 to 2009, excluding 2008, when he was ranked third. During his career at Microsoft, Gates held the positions of CEO and chief software architect, and remains the largest individual shareholder with more than 8 percent of the common stock. He has also authored or co-authored several books.

Gates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. Although he is admired by many, a number of industry insiders criticize his business tactics, which they consider anti-competitive, an opinion which has in some cases been upheld by the courts .In the later stages of his career, Gates has pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors, donating large amounts of money to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, established in 2000.

Bill Gates stepped down as chief executive officer of Microsoft in January 2000. He remained as chairman and created the position of chief software architect. In June 2006, Gates announced that he would be transitioning from full-time work at Microsoft to part-time work and full-time work at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. He gradually transferred his duties to Ray Ozzie chief, software architect and Craig Mundie, chief research and strategy officer. Gates’ last full-time day at Microsoft was June 27, 2008. He remains at Microsoft as non-executive chairman.

When people describe Bill Gates, they often use the words “rich,” “competitive” and “smart.” Of these traits, it’s Gates’ competitive nature that allowed him to carve out his fortune.

Gates fought and won business wars over both browsers and computer operating systems, and he used the profits to fund future fights and ventures.

The Xbox video-game console is just one of the many sideline businesses financed by Microsoft’s (MSFT) massive war chest. (Microsoft is the publisher of MSN Money.)

5. Steve Jobs

Unlike the other Steven Paul Jobs (born February 24, 1955) is anAmerican business magnet and inventor. He is well known for being the co-founder and chief executive officer of Apple. Jobs also previously served as chief executive of  Pixar Animation Studios; he became a member of the board of The Walt Disney Company in 2006, following the acquisition of Pixar by Disney.

In the late 1970s, Jobs, with Apple co-founder  of Steve Wozniak, Mike Markkula, and others, designed, developed, and marketed one of the first commercially successful lines of personal computers, the Apple II Series. In the early 1980s, Jobs was among the first to see the commercial potential of the mouse-driven graphical user interface which led to the creation of the Macintosh. After losing a power struggle with the board of directors in 1985, Jobs resigned from Apple and founded NeXT, a computer platform development company specializing in the higher education and business markets. Apple’s subsequent 1996 buyout of NeXT brought Jobs back to the company he co-founded, and he has served as its CEO since 1997.

In 1986, he acquired the computer graphics division of Lucasfilm Ltd which was spun off as Pixar Animation Studios. He remained CEO and majority shareholder until its acquisition by the Walt Disney company in 2006. Jobs is currently a member of Disney’s  Board of Directors.

Jobs’ history in business has contributed much to the symbolic image of the idiosyncratic, individualistic Silicon Valley entrepreneur, emphasizing the importance of design and understanding the crucial role aesthetics play in public appeal. His work driving forward the development of products that are both functional and elegant has earned him a devoted following.

Jobs is listed as either primary inventor or co-inventor in over 230 both awarded patents and patent applications related to a range from actual computer and portable devices to user interfaces (including touch-based), speakers, keyboards, power adapters, staircases, clasps, sleeves, lanyards and packages.

Recently,Steve Jobs introduced “IPAD” which is attracted by everybody of the world. This may Jobs’ greatest
