The Caged Dreams of the Majority nnThe majority of the people on our planet have made no plans for the future. They appear to be content to live from day to day, with little or no thought of achieving important goals or growing in their personal and professional lives.nnYou, I trust, are not among the majority. If you were, I doubt you would be visiting this site! You probably have, as I do, a deep sense of empathy for the people who feel there is no use in trying to get what

The people history recorded as the most accomplished were not born with some super human like resilience that shielded them from disappointment, self-doubt or misgivings. Each had to wage their own inner battles with fear as they worked to overcome the obstacles that lined their path to success. What they ultimately learned was that your setbacks & cynics don't define you. Your responses do.

It’s easy to watch world-class performers, like those who participated in the Sochi 2014 Olympic Games, with wonder. How did they get to be so good? They were born with natural talent, or they worked long hours to be the best. Maybe it’s a little of both. The point is that what you believe can dramatically influence your results in business, sports, the arts — and life in general. rn‘Fixed’ Is Only Good for Mortgages

For anybody looking to become successful in any endeavor of their lives there are certain ingredients absolutely needed or success will elude them. This is a fact and it is plain and simple! In every case the 'road to success' must first be planned out, otherwise your progress will be severely hindered leading to frustration and eventually failure. The next key will be your attitude and since attitude is everything, if yours is not properly set, it will make things very diffi

Did you know the average person has 10,000 thoughts every day and 90% of them are negative? I remember a character in a movie I once saw (don’t remember which one, but I’ll never forget the line). She said “It’s easier to believe the bad stuff that people say about me.” Most people think like ...

How often have you doubted yourself? And how did it affect your life, work or business? I can relate to this and until I learned to believe in myself and create a “success image” of myself, I was unable to neither use my full potential nor bring out the best in myself. It may seem strange but some people are born with an unshakeable belief in themselves while others struggle in this area so much. The good news is, you can reprogram your mind and develop that definite belief in yourself step-by-step.

We know from science that words are energy and that the words we speak can actually change our DNA. It makes sense then that we watch our words more carefully, and monitor what we stories we tell ourselves about who we believe we are.

I have been helping Ex-offenders and Felons gain employment for over ten years and I have helped thousands get jobs. One of the biggest stumbling blocks that people place in front of themselves is not being able to pass substance abuse tests.

Hello everybody and a good day (or night !) to you all.My name is Nicholas Dixon and I am in my early twenties and I reside on the beautiful island of Jamaica.I work full time in a public library , but in my spare time I design and market websites.I personally think that it is fun to help my fellow brother or sister to get what they want out of this life.

Are you tired of setting your goals only to see them still on your list 3 months later?

As corporate coach, I work with professional women all the time on how they can advance in their career to rea

All conflicts between thoughts, words, actions and what we say we believe will be highlighted. Some of these may be buried deep. Perhaps relating to old issues that had seemed resolved or long forgotten may suddenly surface, requiring a whole new level of attention. It will no longer be sufficient to say, "I have dealt with that issue-I am no longer angry at that person," or "I am okay with that situation-I cannot expect it to be better."

Goal setting allows you to map out a plan for your success. Traditional goal setting practice indicates following the SMART rule. In other words, goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and timely. Specific. Be clear about the goals you wish to accomplish. Don't just say ...

Most of us have an idea about what success means to us, and we have a mental vision of what it will look like when it arrives in our lives. We might finally get the career recognition we’ve been working so hard for, earn a lot of money, find the man or woman of our dreams, start a family, ...

Many of us will know what it’s like to experience the sense of frustration that goes with trying to attain certain goals but seeing no light at the end of the tunnel. It is then that some of us do the one thing that will stop us dead in our tracks...we sabotage ourselves. When the dotcom bubble burst there were suddenly thousands of well qualified people who could not get a job for love nor money. The market had completely seized up. In response to this a whole host of netw

There's a plethora of great seminars out there. How do you decide if you should sign-up? Here's 5 ways to help you make the best decision. Maybe you're like me and you get tons of offers for amazing seminars, workshops and other cool learning opportunities. Wouldn’t it be nice to spend the day just leaning great new stuff; if you had the time and money? If you’re running a business there are two kinds of workshops to consider. One type is aimed at work-life balance, like a yoga or art class.

Three years ago, after a rewarding and successful career as a healthcare executive leading rehabilitation services and hospitals, I shifted my focus to follow my entrepreneurial spirit. Over the years, I had the opportunity to learn from the world’s best in the personal development area—mind, body, and spirit—and I wanted to apply the spectrum of my skills and experiences to benefit others.

Living in a foreign country provides us with many experiences – meeting new people, visiting exotic places, tasting different foods, and communicating in a new language. However, the most valuable experience, I believe, is getting to know yourself better while away from everything familiar. From little on we have absorbed and assimilated countless experiences, and have become predominantly familiar with our own cultural group. In a foreign setting, we are challenged by more frequent differences, and through these will find out what is unique about us.

Our life has become more demanding. You split yourself between work, house and family. In coaching we learn that it is very important to keep yourself in balance so that you can enjoy life. But how can we achieve this? *Exercise

Do you ever catch yourself using hope as a strategy to get the results you want? Think about how much of your work life you spend hoping that (1) the prospective client will sign up to work with you; (2) the position for which you are being considered will be offered; (3) things will work out. Test yourself by recording each time you catch yourself using hope as a business strategy. Is hope a word that works in business? "I hope things work out," is a sentence I hear frequent

Let’s find out what holds us back from exploring and experiencing the many new things we could do to grow and bring more joy and fulfillment into our life. Today in our known environment, we are comfortable and continue with our same routine. With no or just little effort we can stay in our comfort zone and continue to do the same, continue the status quo. Our habitual activities bring us the same results. ‘Rubbish in = rubbish out’ says it all. We wonder why we do not get different results.

I am grateful for the Hallmark hype and everyone’s marketing for Thanksgiving. It’s a perfect opportunity to focus on giving thanks and gratitude but let’s not wait for this once a year celebration. If you celebrate the American Thanksgiving or already celebrated the Canadian Thanksgiving in October or a similar holiday in your country during the year, give yourself the gift of gratitude all year long. We can reflect on everything we are grateful anytime. We can count our blessings and share our gratitude with others and appreciate ourselves.

The only constant in life is change I was told many years ago. Change in both your personal and professional life is inevitable and can be energizing or frightening. Many times, change happens “to you” versus you actively seeking out the change. This can be very stressful and overwhelming. On the other hand, there is beauty and power in being open to new ideas, new things, new situations and opportunities that allow you to experience yourself fully, tap into skills you have not used or stretch beyond your comfort zone in various areas.

Technology has evolved drastically over the past few decades and it has impacted the way we communicate with one another. We’ve gone from typewriters to word processors to the bulky IBM computers onto more sleek and slimmer computers, laptops, netbooks to now the ever popular eReaders, tablets and smart phones. With the constant changes, there are basic principles in the work environment that doesn’t change. The medium used may change, but the concept still remains. Here we are talking about what’s appropriate for sending ‘Thank-You Notes’ after an interview.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Or are you frustrated because you have too many things going on and you don’t know where to start? Many of my clients share with me they feel overwhelmed, frustrated and stressed because they have so much to do to keep their business going or keep up with their work. They often resent the fact that they became an independent entrepreneur/business owner or have a new job or got promoted because it’s more than what they think they can handle. Yes, life and work are busy and YES there is a solution.

We all have unique skills and talents. Think about what you enjoy, are good at, what inspires you and what brings a smile to your face. Our passions are an indication of our skills and talents. Interestingly, when we admire and even envy someone, it’s just a sign that we have the same skills, often dormant, waiting to be expressed. For example, if you admire inspirational speakers, you too can be one once you apply yourself, create the intention and follow diligently through with your actions.

A new word has emerged that we will coin as “The New 4 Letter Word”! This 4 letter word can belittle someone; while at the same time give the user of the word an imaginary since of power. We have found that generally when this word is used it is meant to make the user feel better about themselves, somehow in their mind putting them above the other person. What does this have to do with a Start-Up Business, everything!

People don't intimidate you. You allow yourself to be intimidated by people. There's a distinct difference. And it all boils down to the assumptions you make about what they are thinking, most of which are untrue and born from self-doubt. Are you ready to leave the doubt behind and give up ever being intimidated again?

It is important that we become better stewards of our planet. Here are some easy tips that everyone can implement. 1. Recycle more – Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours or a 100 watt light bulb for 20 hours. Each ton of mixed paper that is recycled can save the energy equivalent to 185 gallons of gasoline. If everyone recycled their newspapers, we would save 250,000,000 trees each year. We throw away over 25 billio Styrofoam cups each year. Each month we throw away enough glass bottles to fill a skyscraper.

I believe that each person is put on this earth for a reason. I believe everyone is special. I know that the topic of our discussion is supposed to be about success but it is about a lot more. It’s about purpose and calling and the power to fulfill our calling successfully. Each one of us ...

www.empowe etwork.com/quantumleap77 "The path to success is to take massive determined action." Anthony Robbins The distance between dream and reality is ACTION. The beauty of being human is that we can think, we can act, and then we can interpret our thoughts and actions into our words. The process of thinking and translating it into words is incomplete unless its demonstrated through action. Unless all these are well coordinated with each other, nothing will make sense. www.theshortlink.com/thehopernr

The word blog is a conflation of two words: Web and log. It contains in its four letters a concise and accurate self-description: it is a log of thoughts and writing posted publicly on the World Wide Web. Often times we are hearing the question of, Should I be blogging as a business owner? Why do I need to blog? Yes, as a business owner you need to be blogging on a regular basis. The blogs do not have to be long; they may only be a couple of paragraphs long but loaded with great content. Then we hear how often do I have to blog?

He’s a very successful sales manger who craves results. He can’t be bothered with people who don’t produce. They are losers. He always produces the numbers year after year.

This was one of the questions that ran through our mind when we were talking about Dave.nnCoaching, for us, is making people do what they don’t necessarily want to do in order to ach

Once upon a time there was a song, The Glamorous Life by Sheila E.? I loved that song. It’s probably one of the reasons glamour is instilled in my brain. So what does it take to live a glamorous life? The lyrics resonate with me “she’s got a lot on her mind, big thoughts and big dreams”. Sounds like most of the women I know but I think it’s important to take those big thoughts and big dreams and bring them to fruition. You should be focused like a bullet in flight to make your dreams come true.

Whatever changes you want to make in your life you will find some aspects of change easy and some aspects of change difficult. The easy bit is working out that you need to change. That increasing sense of frustration, that growing sense of unease or just a general awareness of unhappiness, all of these things will make you realise that you need to change something. The difficult bit is actually taking the decision to change, making a choice that you are prepared to take action to get rid of that frustration, unease or unhappiness.
