Harness the Power of Your Natural Negotiating Style

The first step people often take when honing their negotiating skills is to read an assortment of how-to books and attend a class or workshop. Mastering negotiations, however, requires a three-prong approach: learning the fundamentals of negotiating, understanding the tactics associated with successful outcomes, and developing a negotiating style that feels natural to you.nnYour negotiating style is your calling card.

Taking the Failure Out of Commercial Investing

There are three main reasons novice investors fail in commercial investing: inaction, being cheap, and doing deals that shouldn’t be done.

Politics Dominate the FDA and USDA Putting Consumer Interests Aside – More Foxes in the Henhouse

Throughout our books, we constantly point out how the Bush administration catered to Monsanto and other Big Food companies. For example, the reason for pushing GMO foods was advanced on behalf of the biotech industry when President George W. Bush in a 2003 speech asked the World Trade Organization to break Europe’s ban of GMO foods because American farmers were losing $300 million a year.

Finding Your Purpose

Life seems almost perfectly arranged to keep us guessing as to why we are here … about our role, our place, in this world. At one moment the problems of the wider world seem to call to us with the greatest urgency. In the next, these vanish as we’re called to our own urgent needs. The sublime achievements of others can inspire us, exciting our deepest aspirations – and at the same time confound us, fearing we can never approach such mastery. And when we see so many struggling to find their way, how can we feel certain of our own?

Prosperity – It's Not About Your Money – It's About Your Life

Prosperity, it's not about your money, it's about your life. For the last 30 years, since I was 17 years old, I have been a student of prosperity. I've made lots of money, lost lots of money, been happy and been miserable. And along the way I learned that prosperity isn't about the money, it's about your life. And once you get that simple bit of truth right inside your head, the money naturally flows and follows.

What to Do When the Law of Attraction Doesn't Work

The concept of the Law of Attraction has become almost mainstream in American culture today. Instruction abounds. There's "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill, the Seth material channeled by Jane Roberts, the Abraham teachings by Esther and Jerry Hicks, and, of course, the movie "The Secret." Essentially the Law of Attraction (LoA) states that "like attracts like," meaning that our thoughts are magnets drawing into our lives the equivalent of what we think. LoA makes it clear that positive thoughts are the way to go.

Goal Setting - Ten Lessons I Learned While Climbing to the Top

I recently spent some time in Door County, Wisconsin on a relaxing little weekend getaway. On my last day there, I set out with a girlfriend to explore Peninsula State Park, a beautiful nature preserve located on a bluff high above the waters of Green Bay. As we went through the park, we stumbled upon Eagle Tower. Eagle Tower is a 75 foot wooden tower built in 1914 that sits on a cliff above Green Bay, exactly 250 feet above the water. For whatever reason, I was attracted to the tower. I quickly assessed it and decided to climb it.

But what is the subconscious? It is the store house of our lives. It is the part of the mind that files our fears,habits, experiences and the thoughts of our past. It also is the bedrock of our beliefs and convictions. Our conscious mind is constantly fed messages from the world around us through our six senses.

6 Depression Busters

Most of us have been there, and sometimes without warning. Depression typically attacks those who have suffered a loss, physical and mental abuse, have low self-esteem or are experiencing a lack of fulfillment. The degrees in the severity of depression vary from bouts of mild depression extending to more severe, medical conditions such as bi-polar disorder. For the milder bouts of depression, it is much simpler to find higher ground than it is for a person who is suffering from a more serious condition.

Know-how is no use at all when your heart chooses a different direction to your head. It has nothing to do with falling in love and everything to do with unconscious programming and neural chemical response. Stop reading now if you are one of the mythical people who have never found self-discipline difficult. Raising your standards is easy to contemplate but, more often than not, plans seem to get stuck at the birthing stage. Can people upgrade themselves? I don't mean just their performance, although that will follow increased discipline and expanded abilities.

3 Ways Your Self-Esteem May Be Sabotaging Your Relationships

We tend to weigh the pros and cons of the relationship and then decide if it is working out or not. We may define our happiness by how much love we feel we are receiving.

The Power of Good Choices

"Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of CHOICE; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." (William Jennings Bryan) From the time we wake up and decide whether or not to take those extra minutes of sleep, our waking day is constantly spent making choices. Every choice can lead to either a road of success or a path of mediocrity and it is our responsibility to be mindful of the choices we make. To think that we can drift along the sea of life is erroneous for even the decision not to decide is a choice that was made.

I've come to the conclusion that the stock market is an easier medium for investors to understand (to form behavioral expectations about) than the fixed income market. As unlikely as this sounds, experience proves it, irrefutably. Few investors grow to love volatility as I do, but most expect it in the market value of their equity positions. When dealing with income purpose securities however, neither investors nor their advisors are comfortable with any downward movement at all. Most won't consider taking profits when prices increase, but will rush in to accept losses when prices fall.

Absolutely. I have worked with many, many people who were not outgoing or extroverted but were able to 'bite' the bullet, so to speak, and address an audience with great success. The question is, how do you 'face' the crowd the first time and conquer your fear, your inhibitions, your timidity? First, it is important to realize that, in many respects, you are no different than the extroverted individual who is deathly afraid of the speech or presentation. Nervousness in public speaking is not selective. It is man's greatest fear, so rest assured, you are not alone.
