Creativity is not typically part of the conversation when discussing sales…and yet, it is a distinct differentiator. The most effective sales conversations happen when you leverage creativity. Far too many sales professionals leverage boiler plate “pitches and demos” instead of taking the opportunity to personalize their approach. One size does not fit all when it comes to connecting with prospects and customers.

We all know that two heads are better than one when it comes to solving a problem or creating a result. So imagine having a permanent group of five or six people who meet every week for the purpose of problem solving, brainstorming, networking, and encouraging and motivating each other! This ...

As I sit down to write this article I am faced with the issue that part of what I would like to say is better shown in a graph. Nevertheless, I will do my best to explain this all important concept using only verbiage ;-) The unfortunate reality is that most people never realize (or accept) the "REAL" path to home business success. Let me explain... If you were to imagine a graph, the vertical axis (going up and down) would represent money and the horizontal axis (left to right) would represent time.

Do you have a to-do list that gets ever longer? You think that once you are back to your routine after the disarrangement of summer holidays and packing/travelling/unpacking, you might actually GET THINGS DONE! For a while it works, but pretty soon that old to–do list is getting longer again. And the things that really take the time are often quite small tasks.

Do we really have the time to be “mindful” during our busy days at home and at work? What is mindfulness and what are the benefits? Merriam Webster’s Dictionary defines mindfulness as: “the practice of maintaining a nonjudgmental state of heightened or complete awareness of one’s thoughts, emotions, or experiences on a moment-to-moment basis; also: such a state of awareness.”

It was the best of times and well, the best of times, to borrow from Charles Dickens. It was the Age of Excess. During the Age of Excess, generally from the 90s until recently, people were able to buy their dream home in upscale neighborhoods without even having to say how much they earned every month. This worked out fine until the recession arrived and the fiscal burden of a mortgage that could no longer be afforded was unable to be escaped. People maxed out their high-limit credit, their spirit and their relationships.

Go ahead, there’s no wind-up necessary, you can simply answer the question for yourself: "How confident do you feel?" What happens in your body as you answer this? Do you feel some butterflies in your stomach or does your heart skip a few beats? Experience a little hesitancy in your voice? Perhaps you aren’t sure how to answer because you feel totally confident in one area of your life or business but riddled with doubt in another? If so, you’re not alone. Most people have some sort of visceral reaction to it. Why?

With only a few days left till Christmas morning springs itself upon us with all the giggles, excitement and love; many may be trying to figure out how to get the enormous lists of toys the children are wanting. Isn’t it funny how when I was a kid we asked for one toy maybe two, for me usually a Barbie Doll and that was all. Today however the lists have almost become novels, like a recent Christmas movie that portrayed a child on Santa’s lap going on and on about what he wanted, even Santa was like are you done yet!

There are 76 million or more of us Baby Boomers who will be retiring between this year and 2030. Most of us aren’t a whole lot older than our Social Security system which we begun in 1935. An interesting fact is that Germany set up their old age pension in the late 1800’s. They were the ones that determined that 65 was the magic age because at that time only 1% of the population lived beyond age 65. If we wanted to only pay Social Security to the oldest 1% today we would be waiting until age 86 to retire.

Why are you here? By here I mean on this planet, in this body, living your one precious life at this time in history? Do you know? It’s OK if you can’t articulate it, but on some level you know. This I can guarantee you. And you are meant to live your life fully in a way that expresses that big Why. How do you know if you are aligned with your big Why? Well, if you are not on the path that is meant for you, you find yourself feeling: • Frustrated • Hopeless • Like you are dying on the vine • Bored • Discontent • Like you should give up, what does it matter anyway…

It’s time to say good-bye to all the drama! What does it mean? Sometimes, you will have to change what you’re doing, who you’re “being” and also change who you’re hanging around. Despite the abundance of resources, technology, entertainment, and opportunities that surround us, more and more people simply aren't satisfied with the life they're living. When striving to create a greater sense of happiness in your life, the power of living a balanced life should never be overlooked.

In today's world it seems that everyone is suffering stress overload. We now have many labor saving devices that allow us to accomplish more and do it all faster which means we are expected to accomplish three times the work expected 20 years ago. A business loses a staff person and instead of replacing that person, the other staff pick up the extra work. Women work outside the home and then return home and have another full time job waiting for them. Not to mention the stress of being in a relationship or trying to find a relationship or trying to become "self actualized".

I'll start off by saying that this article isn’t really about the flu shot at all, per se - it's actually about making decisions. What brought his topic to mind, though, is that I’ve recently decided to forego the shot this year and go the natural health route instead. Is this because I know better than those who advocate the vaccination? No. Might I end up regretting not getting the shot? Maybe. I don’t know.

Have you ever had someone try to convince you that there’s a difference between doing what you would ‘like’ to do and doing what you ‘have’ to do? In other words, you must come to terms with the fact that throughout your life you will need to find a job that you do not particularly enjoy. You will go to work from 9-5, Monday through Friday so that when Friday finally does arrive you can be in line to shout at the top of your lungs, “TGIF baby!”

The study of leadership is certainly not a new one, and there are almost too many theories to count.

I think we think too much. Don’t get me wrong, I think the mind is an amazing tool to help us live and survive in this world, but sometimes it feels like my incredible thinking machine has a life of its own! When I start thinking, thoughts seem to morph from one thought to another. “I need to mow the lawn” and suddenly the color green flashes before me. Now I’m thinking of “money” which leads to thoughts of retirement. Then I think, “who will care for me?” transforms to, “I wonder what it will be like to die alone?”

A Coaching client the other day said she wasn't sure whether she 'believed' in quantum physics.

“Fear is an attractive force, like love, “ Lester said. We may have also heard, “What you fear, will appear.” Why is this?” Actually, it is quite simple. This may shock you, but here goes: Fear is in reality WANTING something to happen! For Sedona Method grads, it is just below Lust on the Energy Chart. The Lust feeling of Wanting something gets suppressed into the lower energy of Fear, where we can pretend we are a victim. We don’t like to take credit for things. We want this terrible thing to happen, but we are embarrassed about it.

Are you in a position to influence others – at work, at home, in your community? Is having influence important to your position or cause (as a manager, parent, or someone with a vision who’s trying to create something better)? Do the ways in which you exert your influence tend to work well; and do you know how to be more influential?

Let’s start by saying it is very hard to build consensus in the higher education recruiting process. If you have an easy time hiring someone, you either have group-think or the decision is simply a rubber-stamping process. Neither “group-think” nor “rubber-stamping” is good. Generally, the failure rate is as high (or higher), when compared to less straightforward hiring. Here are four great ways to build consensus during the hiring process for community college jobs

There was a poll awhile ago on a writers’ site asking authors to share how long it typically takes them to write their articles. As I looked through the posted replies I was quite surprised at the average length it actually takes people to complete something that they are comfortable publishing. Why this information caught me so off guard was because of the assumptions I had held about myself: I had assumed that I wasn’t a ‘natural writer’, and for that reason it naturally took me a lot longer than most other people. But it turns out that I was wrong.

Aristotle observed that every living organism has within it a force, a vitality that propels that organism to be fulfilled. He called that state of being entelechy, or entelekey, as we call it. Everyone has an entelekey, a vital force that is yearning to be expressed. The entelechy of an ...

And so when the life coach went through his preset, formulaic, question routine, I could instantly feel that the client was having a rather uncomfortable experience. And that was especially true when the coach was intent on drilling down with the same question until it lost all its potency and vibrancy and electricity. "So how does that make you feel... and how does that make you feel... and how does that make you feel... and how does that... " It wouldn't have surprised m

For those who often come across yourself in experienced, particular, or social cases which make you're feeling uncomfortable and nervous, you almost certainly should learn ways to be a lot less self conscious. Remaining self mindful will make it trickier to achieve your entire likely and be as effective in life as you could be. It robs you of your independence to interact openly and freely with other folks in which you can understand and include value to quite a few various r

Someone asked me the other day if I thought that we really ‘know ourselves’. The surface answer to this question, I thought, is yes. Do you know what your favourite colour is? What you like and dislike? What you value and what you avoid? What you want out of life, for you and your family? If you’ve ever given any thought to these things, then yes, you can safely say you know yourself. However, there is a deeper level to this: a level where the answer to this question is quite possibly no.

When we are living our life to the fullest, it opens up like a flower – gradually, beautifully and unrestricted by exte al constraints. Is your life energy flowing and blossoming? Often times I see people putting exte al constraints onto their life such as:rn-When my kid graduates from school, I will exercise daily -If I don’t get the job, I will start my own business -If my friend does not call, I will not go to the movie -When I move, I will start making new friends -When I am retired, I will start traveling -When I am old, I will take time to enjoy my garden

About 15 years ago my husband and I had a bright idea one day. He was busy doodling on our Mac and I thought, “Those are really cool designs and I bet we could make them into coloring books.” We ended up creating and self-publishing two mandala coloring books. We were sure this was going to be a huge money-making deal (totally naïve). Instead we were shocked to find out that they were not so easy to sell. Bookstores ordered a few at a time and we managed to sell some on our website (websites were still new). The rest we sold at a Saturday Market and then let it go.

In my new book, "Zero Limits," I talk about the unusual therapist who helped heal an entire hospital ward of mentally ill criminals -- without seeing any of them. I've since learned his method for healing, which involves "cleaning" yourself of all negativity in order to see change in others. It seems bizarre, but when you take care of your own issues, they disappear in other people. The whole idea is to love the problems away. You do it by saying "I love you," and a few other

What does it mean to be unbound? If you were a book it would mean you have no binding. Not a good idea to live your life like a book with the pages stuck together. If you’re feeling confined it might be time to “unbound”. Where in your life do you feel you’re bound? Do you feel like letting loose and expressing who you really are? If you’re holding back or hiding out. It’s time to stop Tip-Toeing through life bound by what others think, trying so desperately to fit in. Let loose and just be the “unbound” you.

Most of us have had times in our lives when we have listened to that 'little voice' inside, or that 'feeling' about a person, place, or thing. That 'voice' or 'feeling' has come to awareness from the unified field itself – there is no true separation. That is one of our mythical beliefs, the belief that we are all ...
