Did you know that 41% of Inc. Magazine’s 500 fastest growing private firms wereちゃんとしたビジネスプランがなくても成功しているベンチャーがあるってことですね。もちろんきちんとしたプランがあった方がいいかもしれませんが、まずはJust Do Itが重要なんでしょう。
started without a formal business plan? Did you also know that a recent study
from Babson College found that businesses started without formal business plans
were just as successful as those businesses started with formal plans?

Cut down on sigs.周りにもいませんか、やたらと署名がでかい人が。。。メールをやり取りする度にその署名がついてきたりするとスクロールが大変ですからやめておきましょう。
Signature files, especially in business, should contain as few lines as possible. Four lines is a figure generally agreed-upon. Email that consists of a two-line statement and a ten-line signature will have its recipients rolling their eyes.
Don't use email when you are angry.怒っている時はメールの文章がいつも以上にとげとげしくなってしまいます。そんな時はまずは深呼吸して落ち着いてからメールしましょう。
This is a tip from Joan Tunsall's Better, Faster Email (non-affiliate Amazon link). While most of the time email does not convey your emotions, particularly humor, it somehow seems to transmit anger - even when you don’t intend it to come through..
Use meaningful subject lines.件名なしのメールもたまに見ますが論外ですね。読み手にやさしく、はメールの基本です。
Write something "meaningful" in the subject line, to give recipients a clue as to what your email is about. This is increasingly necessary to distinguish legit emails from spam. The latter's subject lines are are often deceptive.
If it's urgent, say so.メールの文章はとかく堅くなりがち。至急のお願いだったら、そう書かないと相手は理解してくれませんね。
Writing 'URGENT' in front of your email's subject will make it stand out from the crowd, and most likely get timely attention from the recipient. Make certain it is urgent, however; remember how much attention was paid to the boy who cried wolf when his cries really mattered.
Respond promptly.2日以上かどうかは分かりませんが、依頼されているメールを長い時間ほっておくのはいけませんね。一言でもいいので、進捗等を連絡する心配りが必要です。
Don't leave email unread for more than two days. Look at it immediately and either respond to it immediately, or -- after reading it -- move it to a "must respond" folder.
Know your limits.メルマガをむやみに登録してしまい、そのメールに埋もれて大事なメールが読めなくなるというのは本末転倒です。
Don't subscribe to dozens of free "tips" sites if you don't have time to read the items. If you feel must do this, for whatever reason, use a freebie email address for this or consider an RSS feed instead.
Keep attachments small.これは常識ですね。大きなファイルは宅ファイル便等で送るのがベストですね。
If you are sending a large attachement to someone, whether they have a free email or not, they probably have an inbox size limit. Stay in good favor with them by only send attachments of no larger than, say, 30-40 Kilobytes, unless they've requested it of you. That means that many videos and large pictures should be uploaded to the web instead of attached to an email.
I’ve found dozens of strategies that have boosted my happiness, but there’s one thing that’s almost like a magic trick. It’s uncannily effective. Here it is: Act as I would like to feel. If I’m feeling angry at my husband but would like to feel loving and warm, I do something thoughtful for him. If I’m going to a party but feel irritable and shy, I put on a big, eager smile. If I feel low energy, I force myself to move faster and to enliven my voice."fake it 'till you feel it"は直訳すれば、"あなたがそう感じるまで、そのようなフリをしなさい"(ちょっと分かりづらいですかね ^^;)
This “fake it ‘till you feel it” strategy isn’t new, but I’ve been astounded by how effective it is.
3. Process is more important than outcome.
When the outcome drives the process we will only ever go to where we’ve already been. If process drives outcome we may not know where we’re going, but we will know we want to be there.
5. Go deep.
The deeper you go the more likely you will discover something of value.
10. Everyone is a leader.
Growth happens. Whenever it does, allow it to emerge. Learn to follow when it makes sense. Let anyone lead.
14. Don’t be cool.
Cool is conservative fear dressed in black. Free yourself from limits of this sort.
21. Repeat yourself.
If you like it, do it again. If you don’t like it, do it again.
29. Think with your mind.
Forget technology. Creativity is not device-dependent.
34. Make mistakes faster.
This isn’t my idea — I borrowed it. I think it belongs to Andy Grove.
41. Laugh.
People visiting the studio often comment on how much we laugh. Since I’ve become aware of this, I use it as a barometer of how comfortably we are expressing ourselves.
43. Power to the people.
Play can only happen when people feel they have control over their lives. We can’t be free agents if we’re not free.
