Welcome to the TK Enterprises Inc.
Quarterly Newsletter
Most of us
know that success is not based upon a decision, but that starting successful
habits is. One of the biggest success habits is Time Management. Everybody
struggles with time management. The universal challenge is deciding what needs
our immediate attention, our "today" attention and alternately, our "some time
this week" attention. It is often said that if you want something done, give it
to a busy person. Is that the answer - successful Time Management equals being
busy? Is that the same as being productive? So how do successful people manage
their time?

Tips & Tricks 
How Are You Really
Spending Your Prime Time?
- Are you doing administrative work during your business prime
time?
- Do you spend 80% of your time on the "noisy" 20% of your income
clients because of guilt?
- Ever thought of rationing your time on a client or activity? After
all, your time is not bottomless. Overspending in one area means short changing
in another. Is it really worth it?
- Often sales people or small business owners spend far too much time on
a "dead horse" (a client that has no need for your product) trying to convince
them that there is a need. You do not have to make a sale with every
conversation.
- Treat your time, especially your Prime Time, as a very precious
commodity or resource. Allocate a certain time to both clients and activities.
Spend more time with the higher value activities without forgetting the lower
ones. At the end of the day your daily chore list should have all black lines
through them.
- Finally, be happy and proud if you finish early. It means you were
productive that day.Now go and complete your day by doing something you enjoy.
Don't be afraid to spend quality time relaxing or doing something with your
family. Allocating your time properly is a success
habit.

Did
You Know That ...
- Just being busy is not necessarily being
productive.
- Successful time managers put value to their
most precious resource - time!
- You can manage your time successfully by
listing your "to-do's"; and then assessing a value to them.
- Just by listing your to-do's, as you might your
goals, you gain confidence.
- Over-listing leads to overloading, which leads
to non-completion; and that ends up in frustration.
- Limiting your daily to-do's to a manageable
amount; and focusing on them on a regular basis, results in seeing them
accomplished.
- Just the act of crossing off your chores
motivates you to finish your list for the day. Nothing like accomplishing your
daily goals to move you to looking at your long term business goals

 I
love to hear victory stories, especially where good customer service was
provided by Small Business. So if you have one to relate, please send it along
to me.
Because
I have been blessed with good service by fellow Small Businesses, I decided to
create my "Customer Service Star" corner so that I might highlight them. I am
proud to promote them, thus transferring trust to their prospects. Got
anyone you would like to highlight?
Customer Service Star!
In this issue, the
Star goes to:
First Data Merchant Services
Jack Chang C:416-414-7234
Our
congratulations go out to Jack for taking us from the merchant services of one
of the chartered banks to First Data. They were good on their word to save us
money and convert us over quickly. First Data even waived the initiation fee and
compensated us for the Bank's early termination fee. Their detailed transactions
on their bill allowed TKE to track carefully each client transaction.
Well done, Jack and First Data. They were a breeze to deal
with...quick and easy!
Do you have any merchant's that you dealt with that deserve to be
mentioned in this spot? Send us the details and we will be happy to highlight
them.
