5/5/2010Innovative Systems had a good year in 2009 despite the economy. We have continued to grow and added a service coordinator and two consultants in the last 6 months. We have been blessed with a staff of 10 dedicated employees who find our office a fun and challenging place to work with great benefits. Unfortunately, our office administrator resigned a couple of months ago and we need to fill this position as soon as possible.
Do you know our next office administrator?
Our next office administrator will be responsible for bookkeeping, human resource, marketing, and general administrative duties. He or she should have a good knowledge of Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, and Intuit QuickBooks and have a bachelor’s degree in business administration or equivalent.
Please drop me an email, forward to an appropriate candidate, or call me if you have any questions. 4/12/2010

ConnectWiseTV: What Gets Measured, Gets Managed
Join us this Wednesday April 14th at 12 noon Eastern for an informative ConnectWise TV show with Robert Lindley, President of Innovative Systems, Inc. and 2009 Partner Summit presenter. Both of Robert's breakout sessions at the summit were maxed out and voted the session that partners most wanted to see but couldn't. Robert will review some of the materials from his breakout session and share additional metrics he has developed in the last 6 months to run his managed services practice. He will also discuss how he has implemented some of the concepts learned from keynote speaker Verne Harnish at the summit.
Are you getting all of the information you need to run your business from ConnectWise reports and dashboards? Is that information allowing you to make decisions regarding your business today that are not based upon last month's or last quarter's data? Have you set your top 5 priorities for your business this year? How will you measure your performance? How often will you review it with your staff? And do their top 5 priorities line up with yours?
In this session, Robert will review how he is using Microsoft Excel Pivot Tables, SQL Reporting Services, SharePoint, and Software F/X PowerGadgets to measure each staff member's performance and their alignment with ISI's overall business objectives. Presentation materials including a whitepaper and example pivot tables, reports, gadgets, etc. will be made available for download after the show, on our University, with the recording of the show.
If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. We will be recording this live show and posting it on the ConnectWise University soon. We are committed to helping you build your business!

RISK more than others think is safe
By getting out of your comfort zone a little bit, it helps you grow personally and professionally. Each time you do that, it does two things for your life.
CARE more than others think is wise
More than anything else, the time spent with people that you care about that will matter to you when you are sitting in your retirement easy chair. It is not the day-to-day successes that matter in the end, but rather the quality of the relationships you share with family, friends, neighbors and co-workers that will define how happy you are with your life. As you take your life journey, take the time to nurture the relationships in your life.
DREAM more than others think is practical
Life will consistently offer you small opportunities to take if you want to. Each opportunity that you take builds on your previous experiences. Having big dreams helps you to see the opportunities that may fit with your goals. Remember to take a risk when you see them come along.
EXPECT more than others think is possible
Dreams become expectations by writing them down as goals, both professional and personal. If you take a few minutes to write down some things that you expect to see in 5, 10 and 20 years and look at it once a month, you will be amazed at how fast you will get there. 3/18/2010There are two kinds of success. One is the very rare kind that comes to the man who has the power to do what no one else has the power to do. That is genius. But the average man who wins what we call success is not a genius. He is a man who has the ordinary qualities that he shares with his fellows, but who has developed those ordinary qualities to a more than ordinary degree. —Theodore Roosevelt 12/16/2009
