“Okay, so you quit your teaching job of 17 years to make millions in real estate. How soon will the money come pouring in? When will the results begin?” a fellow teacher mockingly asked me this when I told him that this was my last day in class. He believed I was making a big mistake, and he wanted to make his point clear. “Results arrive at once,” I countered. “The moment I decided to leave the teaching profession to make my fortune in real estate, I killed off all other op

Technology: The Ritalin Cure For ADHD Byr Bill Cottringer “For normal people, the artificial urgency created by today’s hyper-speed technology is a demon to be tamed; for people with ADHD, it turns out to be an angle in disguise just needing to fly itself into being tired.” ~The author.

Ever wondered why some companies, large or small can deliver consistent growth and positive, forecast results in good times and bad? So many companies ride the roller coaster of economic vagaries, and the published results are like a camouflaged list of excuses, especially when the economy is slow or there is an event in a geography. I recently saw a distributor use the excuse of a natural disaster, in one of their geographic markets, to explain their poor results. The truth was, if you looked carefully into their results this area showed growth! Why?

“We live in a moment of history where change is so speeded up that we begin to see the present only when it is already disappearing.” – R.D. Laing Life is short. Seize the moment. Live each day as if it were your last. We’ve all heard advice like this before but most of us struggle to take it. This post outlines three keys of embracing the present. 1. Learn from yesterday. “Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Welcome Back Kotter (Likeability)! Byr Bill Cottringer “Welcome back, Your dreams were your ticket out. Welcome back, To that same old place that you laughed about…”~John Sebastian, Lov’ Spoonful. One of the most popular TV programs of my generation was “Welcome Back Kotter.” I can still hear the theme song written by “Lovin’ Spoonful” playful songwriter and singer John Sebastian, clearly in my mind as the day I watched the first show. So what made this program so popular and successful?

When a visitor to your website shifts from reading content to another website activity, it is considered a conversion or Most Wanted Response (MWR). There are many types of conversions and each one factors into the success of your site. A merchandise retailer is looking for visitors that convert to paying customers, while a blog wants visitors to become registered members to help increase their advertising revenues. So what is your Most Wanted Response (MWR)? How do you ide

In these unpredictable times, it’s easy for us to yearn to know what is going to happen, to be more tied into to knowing what the outcome for most circumstances are. However, it maybe that one of the best strategies for getting what we want is to psychologically release our insistence that things go our way, or keep focusing on our preconceived notions of what we want. This is the same principle of the watched pot not boiling, too much impatient focus may make it harder for u

Workers within the food and catering business are exposed to a variety of dangers on a usual. Since they're needed to finish work at a quick pace, there are times when accidents happen.

Something BIG is happening in the business/marketing world, and it's bringing about new business paradigms (efusjon (e'fusion) Energy Club is the current ground-breaking example). It's old paradigm versus new. Old way of thinking versus new way of thinking. Old OUTLOOK versus new UNDERSTANDING. In actuality, it is a shift we're going through. A *major* shift, to be sure, but a shift nonetheless. And when the human race is shifting, watch out! Rough road ahead. Why is that? Not because change is by its very nature difficult, but because we resist those changes.

Have you ever been in a slump worse than a teenager's posture? Have you felt overwhelmed, resentful, bitter, and like nothing is going right? Have you felt sluggish in the face of everything, consumed by negative thinking, and even depressed? Have people been getting on your very last nerve--and then moving on to every other organ in your body like expert surgeons who know just how to slice you apart?

As I am a traveller, I am often asked by people 'What are the people like, in this place or that place?' My answer is always a simple one ' How do you find the people where you are now?' The truth is - how you find the people where you are right now, is how you will find the people everywhere else!

“Banks will close, currency will change, what happened last fall was a shadow of what’s coming,” says Dr. Richard Ruhling, author on current events and Bible prophecy, noting that when the U.S. Senate met to approve a $760 billion bailout, the new moon on October 1 signaled the Feast of Trumpets, Lev 23:24. Anciently they blew trumpets for 10 days until the Day of Atonement; last fall our markets crashed for 10 days in a different kind of at-one-ment.

Do you have a child or children who are shy? Perhaps you are a teacher or a caretaker for a number of children. If this is the case, perhaps the question has crossed your mind, "What to do about shy kids?" Shyness may or may not be readily apparent in young children. Some children may cling excessively to mommy in any unfamiliar situation. Others may show no signs of shyness in early childhood, but may develop it during their growing up years.

Shyness is very common in children. Think of how often a very young child is afraid of strangers. Perhaps a child hides when a service person comes to visit, or even during a visit from Uncle Charlie or Aunt Freda. On the other hand, a child may seem to be gregarious in his or her early years, but may develop shyness later on. Why is this?

The world is a busy place. Our obsession with having, doing, and being all things all the time is the reason we feel so burdened. It’s the reason supermoms and their wunderkinds spend days filled with activities here, there, and everywhere. It’s a lot like my life in high school, which involved music lessons (I played two instruments), orchestra rehearsals, choir practices, composition classes, and aural training (in addition to the hours at home practising all of the above and making time for normal schoolwork too). Oh, and I had to just be a kid as well!

Why Some Religions Are Dying While Others Are Thriving Byr Bill Cottringer “Religion is to do right. It is to love, it is to serve, it is to think, it is to be humble.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson. If you want to know a real secret worth knowing about success, look at the religions today that are growing and thriving the most and then compare them to the ones that aren’t. The thrivers follow one success prescription and the dyers follow the opposite. Here is what the thriving religions do to succeed in the tough religious marketplace.

Shyness is very common in children. Think of how often a very young child is afraid of strangers. Perhaps a child hides when a service person comes to visit, or even during a visit from Uncle Charlie or Aunt Freda. On the other hand, a child may seem to be gregarious in his or her early years, but may develop shyness later on. Why is this, and how to help your child get over shyness?

Success has different meanings to different people. Whether you strive for success in your career, family or personal life, you must exercise discipline and delayed gratification to accomplish your goals. To be successful in any area of your life, you have to set goals, and work hard to accomplish them. All goals need to be written down, and they need to be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound. Success requires daily exercises in: 1. Discipline. Just

At a Greendrinks networking event I met a guy in the heating business. He asked me if I ever wondered why a certain temperature in the summer feels fine but in the winter feels chilly. He explained that the walls and objects are literally using us as a heat supply. We rarely think of our own role in the chain of heat distribution. And rarely do we think about the universal impact we make along the way of creating a robust career track. We rarely think about how we might be interdependent roots warming up the next guy - whether we want to or not.

A BURNING desire is one of the most important success factors; perhaps the first key to success. To have desire is one thing, but to have a burning desire is another thing entirely. All success stories begin with a burning desire. The extent to which you succeed in any endeavour is largely influenced by certain success factors, and in this case – the intensity of your desire. Your desire for what you want to achieve must be so strong that you would find it hard to sleep at night; you literally lose sleep over it.

It’s the start of another day. You sit down at your desk and get to work. Except you can’t. Every few minutes, you’re distracted by another popup notifying you of an incoming email. So you decide to take a break online. Except you can’t. There are just too many choices. Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Skype, blogs, shopping, movies, and games. Even getting outside doesn’t make it stop considering smartphones, in addition to the already annoying interruptions from calls and texts, can now do all that and more.

Is shyness confused with arogance? Sometimes. But how to prevent this? Some people advise the shy person to confess that she is shy. To keep people from seeing her as cold and aloof, a case of shyness confused with arogance, she is advised to admit her shyness. Perhaps she might say something like "parties like this really make me feel nervous."

I own a martial arts school. I've instructed martial arts for many years. Also, like a lot of people, I’ve played sports. And inrnmy experience, you always have those individuals who don't want to make a mistake. It's like the football player who wants to be great and score a bunch of touchdowns, but he never wants to get tackled. Hernnever wants to be judged, never wants to be seen as a failure. But when you lose, you learn. If you’re not losing, you’re not learning. Not that coming in first is a bad thing, at all. Certainly that’sr

Everybody has certain verbal and nonverbal cues that indicate how they feel. Very rarely do people come right out and tell someone about their deepest emotional states. On has to learn how to interpret these nonverbal signals. Doing so is is the key to how to know if a shy woman is interested in a man. But perhaps, rather than spending too much time obsessing over these nonverbal signals, if you are the man in question, you should take the initiative. If you are successful, it will become obvious whether the woman is interested in you or not.

Anticipating and Avoiding Getting Fired Byr Bill Cottringer “If you intend to go to work there is no better place than right where you are; if you do not intend to go to work you cannot get along anywhere. Squirming and crawling about from place to place can do no good.” ~Abraham Lincoln.

What’s the one food you probably eat every day that you don’t even know you’re eating, that causes Muffin Top? Just FYI there is one 'food' that’s in almost all processed foods; is often used as a replacement in gluten-free foods; is erroneously revered by many health-food companies & is even used to make the bottles we drink from & it causes Muffin Top!!! Yikes!! You're pretty savvy- wanna guess what it is? You give up, eh... well...

The World’s Worst War: The Bullies vs. The Bullied byr Bill Cottringer “Courage is fire, and bullying is smoke.” `Benjamin Disraeli. The Problem: Today we are witnessing a major showdown between two failure extremes—the strong vs. the weak, or more in today’s terms, the bullies vs. the bullied. The bullying conflict is pervasive in every aspect of living. It is a destructive epidemic that cries for urgent attention and immediate cure. Just consider this spectrum of the conflict: • Weaker kids in school (or employees at work) getting picked on by stronger ones.r

ACCEPT ADVERSITY, BOUNCE BACK & GET GOING Byr Bill Cottringer “All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.”rn~Walt Disney. Life is often riddled with problems, obstacles and challenges which make it seem like one big test. The test is how you approach these adversities to develop the character you need to overcome them and end up at the finish line. This is your true legacy that nobody can deny you but yourself.

The Power of Persuasion People are everywhere. That’s why being persuasive determines how effective we are. Where we live, what we do, and even who we love involves influence on one level or another.

Wars are raging all around us. Political battles fought daily in the work place, in government and in our family circle. The symptoms are many – jealousy, personal infringements and one upmanship are common, but mostly it is a turf war – a war over territory, whether that is physical territory such as a piece of ground or metaphysical territory . We see this everywhere - in the workplace, social environments, interdepartmental issues and of course betwee Nations. It is about trying to receive more – more sovereignty, more attention and accolades, more recognition and rewards.

I often hear online business entrepreneurs complaining about all the trouble they are having. To the point that they are ready to quit. Everyone feels like that every now and then, but you have to resist the temptation to get caught up in that. There is a difference between those who get past that and those who don't. It's called persistence. One of the essential components to any successful entrepreneur's mindset is persistence. It's not smarts, skills, connections, experien

They Bring People into Their World. Questions. Have you ever been sucked into another world? Feeling it was so real, you escape the confines of this reality to feel like you were there? Breathing it? Living it? Escapism. rnStatements. This process and how you feel is what I like to call “Going to the Circus”. Because whenever I went to the circus as a child. I would feel like I had wandered into an entire other world. The sights, the sounds, the smells. The five senses fl

Is it possible for two or more people living independently of each other to have the same thought? The answer is that it is highly likely on a superficial level, but on an advanced level is highly unlikely. For example, many people perform the same actions at the same time and these actions can only come about by thinking about them first and require just some basic knowledge to carry out, whereas other thoughts come from individual knowledge that may not be known by many oth

How to keep a Job in Tough Times Byr William Cottringer, Ph.D. “The quickest way to appreciate your job is to imagine yourself without one.” ~Oscar Wilde. In tough economic times, it is not a good thing to be unemployed. And if you are lucky enough to have a job, you don’t want to do anything to lose it by doing or not doing something under your control. In most states misconduct or quitting for no good cause will keep you from being eligible for unemployment benefits. And sometimes, you can even be proactive to avoid being laid off.
