Weekly Success Story



Russell Dunn, Our Vice President of Sales, met Mike Ross at the International Restaurant & Food Service Show of New York,prior to the opening of Ross’s Dockside Steak & Seafood House. Having formed a connection immediately and learning the great value of becoming an ITEX member, Mike signed a contract with ITEX without hesitation. Two weeks later Russell visited Mike’s restaurant to take a tour of the venue and to see all of the renovations that had taken place. He was pleased find out that Mike had granite countertops, a store wide phone system and POS system, all security lines and an $8,000 stereo system installed, ALL PAID FOR WITH ITEX DOLLARS. After touring Ross’s Dockside, Mike expressed how pleased he was with the outcome of his restaurant and informed Russ of the $13,000 family vacation he booked to Belize, ALSO PAID FOR WITH ITEX DOLLARS. This is a wonderful story and an excellent example of how ITEX can enhance your professional, as well as your personal life.

Time Management


The absence of time management is characterized by last minute rushes to meet dead-lines, meetings which are either double booked or achieve nothing, days which seem somehow to slip unproductively by, crises which loom unexpected from nowhere. This sort of environment leads to inordinate stress and degradation of performance

Poor time management is often a symptom of over confidence: techniques which used to work with small projects and workloads are simply reused with large ones. But inefficiencies which were insignificant in the small role are ludicrous in the large. You can not drive a motor bike like a bicycle, nor can you manage a supermarket-chain like a market stall. The demands, the problems and the payoffs for increased efficiency are all larger as your responsibility grows; you must learn to apply proper techniques or be bettered by those who do. Possibly, the reason time management is poorly practiced is that it so seldom forms a measured part of appraisal and performance review; what many fail to foresee, however, is how intimately it is connected to aspects which do.

Time management has many facets. Most managers recognize a few, but few recognize them all. There is the simple concept of keeping a well ordered diary and the related idea of planned activity. But beyond these, it is a tool for the systematic ordering of your influence on events, it underpins many other managerial skills such as effective delegation and project planning.
