It's also one of the biggest dangers that men face going into midlife, because ...

In a recent survey, 80% European and American offshore companies hiring remote staff ranked India as their number one outsourcing destination.

The bottom line is that to be successful in business and in life you’ll need to cultivate a sense of balance in your life. Entrepreneurs choose to do work they love and delegate the rest.

Be decisive by trusting your own intuition while balancing the advise you seek from professionals who can hold you ac

Here's a double spoiler for you, first for the 1983 movie, War Games, then for this article: as the computer, Joshua, comments at the end of this picture: "A strange game. The only winning move is not to play." It works as well for global thermonuclear war as it does for the age-old conflict ...

Entrepreneurs: You Worked hard for your money, now Make Your Money Work for You! Entrepreneurs are the lifeblood of this country. The sad truth is that most of them are broke. They are brave enough to venture on a journey to experience freedom and create prosperity. It is very critical for entrepreneurs to find out what they truly love to do, what makes their heart sing, what their "WHY" is? This is the must because in their darkest hours, they can remember why they started t

When people think of the midlife transition, most often their minds go straight to the infamous midlife crisis and the radical changes that go along with it. People change their looks, they change their jobs and — way more than is necessary — they change partners. In fact, I ...

You see all those fancy letters after my name? The 'MA' (at least one of them) is the result of my fascination with Western (Greek) philosophy. These ancient brilliant minds, after all, laid the foundation for our entire cultural perspective. What to us 'sophisticated' contemporary thinkers ...

Furniture retail is one of the hardest industry to tread because there are too many competitions and some companies are extremely successful in their brand, gaining dominance in the market right away. Apart from style and trends, the furniture industry has become a commodity market too. The love for furniture alone is not enough reason to start a furniture store .

1. Exploitation is not partnership. A virile or impetuous man and his girl should trust themselves in relationship, they should have just regard for each other and should not do not take unfair advantage of each other. A girl who is a ball and chain to her man do not give him a shot in the arm to play ball with her; dependence and confidence are important tools you need to have a ball, have a lot on the ball and get the ball of your relationship rolling. Friendship is as important as partnership.

Why should Internet Marketers write? I asked myself this question after I published my fifth article on Ezine Articles. Articles are written to give positive food to your audience to remember. People enjoy reading helpful information. A well written article can help build trust and confidence with your readers. If they like reading what you write chances are they will come back for more food for thought. As the popular saying says “The money is in the list.” Through my observation many more marketers are posting ads not informative blogs. Ads are very easy to create.

I have a confession to make: as I get older, taking care of myself becomes more and more of a chore. Additionally, as andropause continues to take its toll, bodily maintenance keeps looking more and more like an uphill (and losing) battle. Add that to the cultural expectations that tell us men ...

Shortly after we opened our office, there was a mishap. The floor above us flooded one night. The next morning, a portion of the ceiling was laying on the exam table and our exam room laptops were sitting in water. That incident brought home quickly that our business insurance was well worth the cost. Be it Mother Nature or Murphy's Law...you'll be glad you got that policy. This past week, we acquired a few pieces of equipment that totaled more than our start up cost. Naturally, we wanted it covered.

I've surveyed hundreds of entrepreneurs about what gets in the way of achieving their goals. The two highest responses are: "I don't have enough time," and "I don't have enough money." Now I don't want to seem callous or unsympathetic as I'm sure that many people do really have a lot of things ...

Are you the kind of entrepreneur who starts your day off with coffee, something sweet and basically continue that pattern throughout the day? If so, you're not alone. Many entrepreneurs rely on sweets and coffee each day in order to get through their long list of "to-do's". I understand that your body needs energy, and I also understand what it's like to have so much to do each day as well. Perhaps you're even a mom who's getting up in the middle of the night with a little on

You succeed through speed in today’s business environment. Patience is no virtue. It’s a relationship killer, deal killer and career killer. If patience is a leg of your personal brand triad, rethink your goals. Laying in wait for a response to your resume, proposal or request? Might as well try to send a telegram offering your congratulations to your competition. Treasure goes to the assertive, relentless and even (fairly) sneaky people who go full throttle in pursuit of immediate gratification of their needs – or at least feedback.

Because it is not optional. When I set the goal, there is no room for ‘erms, buts, maybes’! It is simply happening and that is that! I make a decision and once I have decided?! There is no room for negotiation on the goal. So tell me, how optional are your goals? Is it a must? Or a ‘only when it feels good’?

Escape Mainstream investment strategy nonsense “The Message of Mediocrity"

Today we sit down with Dr. Irina Kellerman-Volk from 3V Dental Associates, a local dentist in Port Washington, Long Island, New York. What can you tell us about 3V Dental Associates and how it all began? Dr. Volk and I went to NYU Dental School together.

Your mobile phone is an important device in VR. Virtual reality app development has come a long way in the past couple of years.

One of the many things I discovered when on my recent private retreat with my mentor coach Kendall Summerhawk was that I sometimes still have a tendency to bend in situations where I shouldn’t. Not actually bend-over backwards, but enough that I end up not feeling good about the situation.

As a super small business owner, it is important to know your value. Your value is determined by what you have to offer the consumer. It is important to remember that consumer perception is consumer reality. Every business owner on the path of success must be able to answer the following question from a consumer's point of view. (We all need to answer a version of this very basic question and answer it very, very well.) The question is: Why should a consumer work with you i

1. Like the fragrance of good cologne to the breathing hole in the nose and passage of the nose covering is the serene and true love that comes from a sincere sweetheart to the source and emotional center of one in quest of love and pleasurable satisfaction, especially in marriage relationship.

Come January 1st, most people start thinking about their goals for the coming year. Goals are a big deal however... and I think waiting until the end of December or into January is a bit late to get started.

We all love comfort and we all love that confined space that makes us feel at ease. That is the reason why that confined space is known as the comfort zone. In business, though, there is no comfort zone. If you really want to be successful and if you want to enhance productivity you should step out of the comfort zone and embrace the challenges that come in your way. You may ask me why you should actually step out your comfort zone in the first place and how it’ll help. Well,

All readers may be familiar with ESP–extrasensory perception. I propose that we focus on EESP–experience, expertise, seasoned judgment and proven performance. This is what Baby Boomers can provide versus their younger counterparts. I like the old saying: “Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.” Quoting from the Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity for 1996-2010, written by Robert W. Fairlie in March 2011: 26% of entrepreneur

Secured business credit via an ABL asset financing or a bank line of credit. It's absolutely a tale of two. We guess the book might be called ' A TALE OF TWO FACILITIES’!

Search engines have revolutionized the way we use the internet. These resources have changed what used to be a cumbersome and sometimes overrated internet into what is now a powerful resource capable of providing information in a millisecond. There is a reason why Google's stock has almost quadrupled over the past five years. People are using search engines to drive around the internet just as one would use a road map to go through America. If you want people to find your sma

Have you ever considered what failing to manage your self-doubt is really costing you and the impact that has on your professional and personal life? A lack of confidence can cost you time and money, and the impact is often far reaching.

I never really paid attention to the literal meaning of the questio “So, what’s your story?” I often found it to be sarcasm or merely a spin on asking “What’s up?” However, over the last five years, since being handed a pink slip of freedom from Corporate America, and jou eying out into my own entrepreneurship adventure, everything I now do to position myself and my company, is tell my story. It’s what every customer, prospect, vendor or partner, even relationship suitor wants: to know, like and trust – my story; YOUR story.

When people think about pursuing something, they usually first take a look at their resources to determine whether or not they can do it. That is a wise thing to do. But where most people fail in this process is when they look at their resources to determine whether or not they can do it, they are usually taking stock of the wrong resources. Most people immediately look at money. “How much money do I have?” they ask. Sure, we need to know how much money we have, but money i

A business owner asked, “I’m not quite sure how much to charge for my services and I need to figure out how to talk about the value of what I do so that people are okay with paying what I’m charging.” It’s a great question. I’ve seen this happen in more than one client and whenever it does, four things seem to be a play: 1. Charge based on outcomes
