April 27, 2011 - Pop quiz! What did they call "multitasking" in the eighties?Answer: "lack of focus."I don't mean to sound like an old fuddy-duddy (of course, using the term "fuddy-duddy" does tend to portray me as such), but like it or not, I am officially of a "certain age." More times than I care to admit, I have strutted with strong intention into the kitchen, and upon arrival, completely blanked as to why I was there. Or, finding myself looking for an item in the closet, I will be briefly distracted, and forget what I was looking for. I have, embarrassingly enough, "lost" my keys on the way to the door on...

April 27, 2011 - We need to have some financial support in our life especially when we want to support our kids' college education, to buy a car, house, or household appliances; and many more. If you are experiencing financial difficulties and you could not get loans from traditional lenders because of your low credit score,you might think of borrowing from your retirement plan (or simply known as 401(k) retirement plan) and you will pay it back yourself when things get back to normal.It is simply a risky move to borrow money from your retirement plan as you will face serious consequences if you do not...

April 29, 2011 - A common characteristic of successful people is that they always stay optimistic. They refuse to see obstacles, only opportunity, it is a matter of mind-set. When we cannot find success, it is usually because we put too many obstacles in our way. We spend far too long thinking rather than doing, and we allow our negative belief patterns to stand in our way. So successful people - let's learn their secrets!Many of us have a tendency to see the negative side of things, we worry too much and focus on all that could go wrong. We over analyse everything and just make it far too complicated. We...

April 29, 2011 - Right now I could be reading a classic novel, learning about physics, practising some of the crafts I've been prone to lately or, hell, even doing some work. Instead I've spent most of my waking hours of the last week watching Smallville. In the few months prior to this I watched all 6 seasons of Dawson's Creek and yesterday attempted to subdue my insanity with a couple of episodes of The OC.The Fella and I have been watching a copious amount of Smallville lately, trying to catch up on Season 10, and the more I watch the more I wonder what it is about these American Teen programs that hook me...

April 30, 2011 - From time to time I like to write a book review just to let people know about some of the information that is out in the world. I read a lot of books in the personal development field, because that is how I make my living. Most of them offer some great information. If you have read any of my articles, you will know that Think and Grow Rich is my favorite book. I highly recommend it to anyone because it pioneered the principles, which it outlines, that have been found in every self help book since its writing. If you have read it already, pick it up sometime and read it again. You will be...

May 23, 2011 - There may be no bigger guilt in the world than parenting guilt. If you could find a set of parents that believe that they are excellent parents, you've found an exception. Most mothers and fathers feel that they do not know very well what they are doing when it comes to parenting kids, or at the minimum, they think that they can use some improvement. They often feel they do not have enough time for their kids. When something fails with our children, we often feel that it's our fault, even when there is no basis for those thinkings. You may be doing a much better job than you believe. If you're...

May 23, 2011 - Persuading someone to stop talking negatively isn't easy when it's all they do. They are obviously prone to look at the bad side of life, and they complain about things that are happening to them and not happening to them as well. But their negative talk can bring you down when you are trying to focus on positive things. They can be exhausting to listen to and undue all your positive work on yourself with one rant about how much life sucks. Changing how they talk around you boils down to convincing them of a few things.First you want to show them that you don't agree with their views and...

May 23, 2011 - A review of all sized organizations, whether small, intermediate or large, has indicated that nearly all have experienced a reduction in membership over the last couple of decades, with an even larger decline in the past decade. This includes various types of groups, including professional organizations (such as medical society, dental society, law association, etc.), civic organizations, organized political parties (especially Republican and Democrat), philanthropies, religious (synagogues and churches), etc. While there is no one specific reason for this decline, some of the major factors...

May 23, 2011 - When somebody is diabetic, his body is unable to convert consumed foods into energy as required because it produces insufficient insulin. Even though many of such patients believe the only solution is taking a balanced diet, they are bound to encounter various health complications like rising blood pressure and the possibility of suffering from heart diseases.

Actually, skin disorders are the initial indicators that a person is suffering from diabetes and it is certain that every patient...

May 24, 2011 - You can search for people by email addresses. Granted, there might not be too many of these services available, but you should still be able to find a couple online. Unfortunately, there are not too many other ways to actually do a search like this. There are no email directories like there are phone books. You can't take just the address and look it up in the yellow pages. I don't know of anything like that for addresses of emails. That does not mean that they do not exist, but I haven't found any yet.Now they we said that you could; why would you want to search for people by email address?...

May 25, 2011 - Pre-screening employees is in great demand today. Employers want more tools and options to ensure a good match and people assessment that goes beyond the interview process alone. Some traits can be found by using Internet-based companies for testing, evaluation and behavioural profiling in conjunction with a background check.

May 26, 2011 - Holding team members accountable requires you to walk a very narrow edge. On either side of that edge is a place that is too consoling and safe (it is too lax) and on the other side of the edge is a place that is overbearing, demanding, and full of "make wrongs." Wow... Neither one of those sides sounds like the greatest place to go when holding people accountable!Being too lax inside of an accountability agreement creates the room for nothing, or at least very little, to get done; you get no specific measurable results. Being overbearing, demanding, and full of "make wrongs" sends your team,...

April 26, 2011 - I attended a private school for part of my school life and remember that some of the children that attended came from very wealthy families. Whilst that was never an issue for me, I did notice after a while that some of the wealthier children started to talk about the less wealthy people as being 'not as good as them.' My primary point here is that this is a fallacy. All people start off being good and equal as people, irrespective of the size of their respective bank balances. It is much more about how we behave with or without the money that matters. Putting it another way, the money is in...

Do people in your downline complain about the negative people in their life?I was frustrated by negative people for a long time and tried to avoid them as much as possible.
