Paying Attention to Detail Can Save You From Costly Mistakes

Most of us all can remember some time in our lives when we've heard the words, "pay attention". Maybe it was from a parent, a teacher, a driver's ed instructor, or just your inner voice shaking you up from your daydreaming, and bring you back to the real world. Nevertheless, whatever voices you heard, it was surely a beckoned calling; one that would help save you from costly mistakes.

Some things you can do:

1.  Take your time: Whether you are writing an article, reading a book, reviewing your bookkeeping entries for the week, entering customer orders in your Customer Management Databases/Order Carts, or creating and going over a shopping list for the week, it is important to pay attention to detail. People seem to be so busy these days. It's important to slow down, and review the details of everything that you do.
2. Proofread: Especially when writing for others, or editing a report, it's important to proofread, in case you have made mistakes. You can then fix the errors before they get out of hand.
3. Stay organized: Keep your thoughts organized and focused on your tasks. Keep your desk and office free from clutter. (This helps with the focusing on tasks, and helps you pay attention more clearly)

These are just a few simple steps you can take to help you pay attention to detail. They will keep you from having to redo things, prove your competency, prove that you care about accuracy, and make yours, and others' lives easier

It's Time to Do a Year-End Business Cleanup by By Jim Blasingame, The Small Business Advocate

One of the best ways to give your future the maximum opportunity to be successful is to make sure each new year begins with as little baggage from the past as possible. So, what grandmother used to do after a long winter, businesses need to do in December. Instead of spring cleaning, let's do some December baggage elimination. Here are some examples.
Eliminate the stuff.
Even if you're not a pack rat, like me, you've accumulated stuff you don't use anymore. If you're not using it, throw it away; if it has value, sell it or give it away.
Deal with the graveyard.
Don't tell me you don't have one. Whether it's an old computer, printer or chair--even if it's not broken--if it hasn't been used recently, it's worse than clutter; it occupies valuable space. Sell it, give it away or give it a proper burial; just get it out the back door.
