Various Versions of Happiness Byr Bill Cottringer “Happiness is what you do to stumble upon it.” ~The Author. The pursuit of happiness is something we all engage in, to some degree or another. And the last I heard, it is still an inalienable constitutional right of Americans and should be for all people on the planet. But this pursuit of happiness is where the commonality starts disappearing—in the many paths people choose to follow to find it. Below are several different paths to happiness people travel.

We've all heard of the power of leverage. You can be successful by yourself. It will take more time, or more money, probably both. With the power of leverage, you can also use the time and/or money of others to accomplish your goals. In order to be able to do that, you have to develop the ability to make people want to follow you. After that, all you have to do is ask, they will give you their time, or money, or both. They will trust you. Of course, after winning their trust, you have to keep delivering the goods. Otherwise, you'll destroy the relationships you've built.

I recently attend the Conversation Among Masters, a coaching conference held at the gorgeous Grove Park Inn, with close to 200 master coaches in attendance from all over the world (incl. the US), to learn, converse and connect.

Ok, who hasn’t got too many bits of login information to remember? I doubt many would put their hands up to that question, because the fact is that we are mostly swamped with online accounts for various things. If it is not a commercial company who you have an account with, it is a bit of software on your home computer that needs a user id and login.

Often, with the beginning of the new year comes a time of questioning for many people who have started to wonder whether it isn’t time for a sea change. Whilst some people will pack up the family and move them to the coast or the country, others will settle with changing careers and see how that goes for them.

One of the things that I stress with my clients is learning how to live a values-based life. All of us have values but often people aren't deeply tuned into what those values are.

It allows us to create the life we dream of. The first step in living a values-based life is to identif

Meditation Many people talk about meditation. It could help improve health by reducing stress, calming your senses and cooling down your daily fast-paced life. A lot has been discussed but what meditation is and how to start? Simply defined, (we don't need a dictionary to do this) it is an art of focusing your mind. What: The Exercise of the Mind While we need real physical strength and fast movement to exercise our muscles, our mind is exercised the opposite way. It is by NOT doing anything, focusing on just one thing.

J Paul Getty said that a man with a burning desire and just an average ability would be a winner every time. His premise was that if a person is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, then they would eventually achieve them. Are you willing? Many people start out with a vague picture of what is necessary to achieve their goals. That picture needs to be clarified, if they really hope to be winners. If there is something specific that you want to do with your l

We have the sequence to success in life all wrong. Let me see if I can explain. nnYou see, we don't achieve success, because we are afraid of taking risks. We are afraid of taking risks because we are afraid of failure. We are afraid of failure because we are afraid of what people might think. We are afraid of what people might think because we lack self-confidence. All this leads to more low self-esteem and further erodes our chances of success. nn So...No success = Fear of

The recruitment process is ever evolving. Technology has enabled recruitment with new directions to obtain quality talent. The more traditional methods have taken a backseat with the introduction of new tools and solutions. Now, companies have better opportunities than ever to add value to their talent pool.

n life, trying is the most important thing that cuts across all winners. Why? Because if you don’t show up, you don’t register any performance. For example, to win any race like a marathon, you must show up and participate first. If it is an exam, you must show up in the examination room. Whatever you think of in life, starts with taking the first step. Go show up. As a consultant, I am always asking my colleagues ‘how do you get to be known if you don’t deliberately

True Success Begins With Values Robb D. Thompso All success begins with establishing deep-seated values. One of the most noticeable characteristics among leaders who have achieved some sense of wholeness is that they know who they are, what they believe, and for what they stand.

Just because you purchased a domain name does not necessarily mean that you own it. Domain names are used to identify one or more IP address that is typed into the URL search bar.

By owning multiple domains you will increase the overall traffic

New Year's resolutions? Not again! Don't you remember what happened last time? I don't know about you, but for me, New Year's resolutions always come with a big bat: I resolve to do something, I stop doing it, and I beat myself up about it. In fact, the vast majority of people deviate from their resolutions sooner or later, usually sooner. And most of the rest are probably lying or kidding themselves. Of course, there might be a FEW hardy souls out there somewhere who actua

Thinking about death can produce a passion for life. Early in my career, I was introduced to the idea of clarifying my life's purpose through contemplating my death by Charlie Jones, a personal effectiveness and leadership development author and speaker. In his book, Life is Tremendous, he wrote, "You're not ready to live your life until you know what you want written on your tombstone". That's a powerful thought! It forces you to boil away all your goals, plans, and activities to get at the core reason you exist.

"The way to gain a reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear." — Socrates A key element of "knowing thyself" is sorting out what's really important to you.

What use is a sword for you, if you can't wield it? Websites are a tool to get business. In any form you perceive. Either you want traffic, sales or brand positioning, your website must get it.
