Objectives Goals and Becoming Successful

Is setting goals still valid in the 21st century? There is a lot of talk in the success industry about setting goals. The question is being posed around the validity of goal setting. Some people feel that goal setting is a waste of time and others feel that it is still valid as a tool for success. You can form your own opinion as to whether you think setting a goal is the way to achieve your dreams, but in my opinion there are pros and cons to every technique. Just because we have cars does not mean that there is no longer a place for a bicycle in our lives.

Finding Your Passion Later in Life

As we get older and life has taken a few twists and turns we often find ourselves past the stage of striving for materialistic possessions. We are searching for something more meaningful. We want to feel passionate about something. It’s been said that if we don’t know what our passion is and want to find it that we need to find out what most interested us between the ages of around 7 to 10 years of age. That what interested at that age will often be our real passion. I have to admit that with a number of people I know this appears to be quite true.

Our sales talk was sewed around dropping names that our prospects could connect to. Today, when I propose my services as Relationship Strategist for individuals and corporates, when I meet with friends and make new friends, when I ask for business referrals, I can still notice how important names are.

***The Best Way to Eliminate Excessive Nasality in Your Speaking Voice

A few years ago, my son’s 7th grade teacher had the strange ability to increase the volume of her voice by means of her nose. While I have worked with thousands of people in voice and presentation skills, this particular ‘skill’ is something I had never heard before and haven’t heard since. The majority of people who have excessive nasality when speaking are not amplifying their sound by means of their nose. As much as their voice may be making its final descent through the nasal passages, their increase in volume generally comes from their throat and voice box.

Balance of Power—Spiritual Meaning of Declaration of Independence

As we begin the month of July, we are reminded of our country's bid for independence that began over 200 years ago after the American revolutionary war. In 1776, there was no balance of power; Great Britain controlled everything. A general feeling of inequality set the stage for life-changing events. Americans were much oppressed and therefore, the thirteen original colonies decided it was time to separate from the Kingdom of Great Britain. They signed The Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, commemorating America's first year of independence from destructive forces.
