Item Upon - All I Needed to Learn in Life I Learned From Betty Crocker
Employees' writing skills - or the lack of them - substantially affect the bottom line in ways you may never have considered. Here are just a few.* Badly written instructions can lead to incorrect procedures, lost time, damaged equipment, lost customers - and lost profit.* Ineffective letters, which often took too long to write in the first place, can create a poor company image, wasted time, bad customer or supplier relations, lost customers - and lost profit.* Interdepartmental miscommunication - often through incomprehensible e-mail exchanges - can lead to fr
No such luck! Think of heat as trials and tribulations. I’m telling you that in order to succeed in life, you need to have some difficulties.
A cake placed into a cold oven isn’t going to rise, to become tender. The baking powder needs heat to work. In the same way, without trials and tribulations in our life, we aren’t tender of heart, compassionate. How many of us before facing the heat of unemployment, think about the poor? If we do, it’s generally either to think ourselves better than them. Or to give them a fleeting thought as we give money to our favourite charity. But after time without a job, we gain compassion and tenderness towar
There are many events outside of the workplace that can negatively impact workplace productivity. A major holiday and major sporting events (like the Super Bowl, World Cup or NCAA Basketball Tournament) are a few of these possible distractions.As people begin to think about, talk about and focus on these events, their focus may leave their work. Think about it: how many tournament brackets are filled out on office time? How much Christmas shopping gets done online at the office every year?This change of focus can lead to significant losses of productivity. As leaders w
Yes, I’ve learned a great deal about Betty Crocker over the past forty-some years. I’ve sat at her table many times. But as much as I’ve learned ABOUT her, I’ve learned more FROM her!
You’re probably thinking, “Yup, I knew it, you’ve finally gone off your rocker. Jean’s been creative one too many times! All she’s learned from Betty Crocker is how to gain weight!”
Well, you’re wrong. And I’ll tell you why.
Consider the simple box of Betty Crocker cake mix.
You may think it’s only a cake mix with the instructions for baking a cake on the back. But when I pick up this box and read the back, I see instructions for living a successful life!
First off at the top, before the four steps to making a cake, Betty Crocker tells me what ingredients I will need. This tells me in order to succeed in baking a cake, and in life, I need to be organized. She’s telling me that in order to be successful in life, I need to know where I want to go. Then I need to think ahead and plan what it takes to get there. I need to assess whether I have what it takes – and if not, how I can get the skills I need for the job I want to do.
Yes, all I needed to learn in life about thinking ahead, I learned from Betty Crocker.
Step #1 says to heat your oven – and grease and flour your pan. From this, I learn that it doesn’t take just planning, it takes action, to make something work. All the planning in the world isn’t going to make me lose weight if I don’t diet or exercise. You’ve got to do, as well as think!
Yes, all I needed to learn in life about taking action, I learned from Betty Crocker.
Step #2 tells me to beat together the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs in a large bowl on LOW speed for 2 MINUTES.
By this Betty Crocker teaches me that you need more than just one ingredient to make things interesting. You need diversity. You can’t make a cake by mixing water with water - it ain’t gonna work!
In the same way, if I try to make people over so that they are more like me, it ain’t gonna work. Just as you need oil and water and eggs and cake mix to make a tasty cake, you need people with different opinions, backgrounds, values, and thinking styles to make life interesting. Differences need to be valued. Because without them, life is bland. It will taste like a cake made only out of water!
But Betty Crocker also says to mix on LOW speed. This tells me that people need time to work together, to make a team. It takes time to get from forming to performing.
Yes, all I needed to learn in life about getting along with people, I learned from Betty Crocker.
Next, Betty Crocker tells me that I need to bake the cake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.
Now, you might be thinking – now Jean’s talking. She’s telling me that I need a vacation in Cuba.

MOVING GUIDEA tentative final bill of local moves is estimated using a simple formula:(Number of movers + truck) x number of hours = final priceEstimating moves is an inexact science. Many variables factor into how long a move will take. A professional estimator uses his experience from doing similar moves in order to figure out how many hours the move will require. His estimate includes the amount of time that will pass from the moment the truck first leaves the mover's garage until it returns after the job is finished. He will then add in the cost of boxes, ta

China already leads the world in the number of Internet users as well as Internet usage, with over 800,000 new Internet users coming online every week. You'd think that a country with so much Internet usage would have a big effect on the web. Well, they do, but for US users, we don't often notice their presence unless we go searching for it. Here's what's out there on the Chinese information superhighway:PortalsJust like other countries, Chinese users tend to use portals to find what they're looking for.

The major part of an estimator’s job obviously is estimating job costs. In the past, doing this manually left marginal room for error. Today, with technology evolving everyday, software has been developed to reduce the chances of input error. The software offers an assortment of different templates that allow you to enter your costs, inventory and even profits. This allows you to give a more accurate estimate without leaving the jobsite. With this software, what used to take hours and even days to complete can now be completed in a fraction of the time. The software programs can be

As much as we’d like everyone to be our clone: same work ethic, owner mentality, intelligence level, capable of seeing the big picture and multi-tasking, that’s just not reality. Let’s face it – you and I are the only truly superior business people and everyone else is striving to be us. But seriously, everyone brings their own special talents to the table.If all our associates were great sales people, who would handle finance, marketing, technology or human resources? As considerate leaders we have to look to the innate value of each associate or else our turn over rate wi

But after time without a job, we gain compassion and tenderness towards the needs of the poor, we understand their concerns. Yes, trials and tribulations tenderize our hearts.
But we can’t be left too long in the oven of tribulation otherwise we become dried out, hard, bitter in the same way a cake left too long in the oven turns into a hard, dry mass.
Yes, everything I needed to know in life about compassion, I learned from Betty Crocker.
The final thing Betty Crocker teaches me about life is that you’ve got to frost the cake. You’ve got to add something sinfully delicious to an already tasty cake. Betty tells me that to change my life from satisfactory to sensational, I need to do something for myself, take time for myself, find out what completes my soul.
Yes, everything I needed to know in life about living life to the fullest, I learned from Betty Crocker.
So the next time you are at the supermarket, pick up Betty Crocker and place her in your cart. Because all you need to learn in life, you can learn from Betty Crocker!
