"We share what we know, so that you and your money rnmay grow." * MONEY DOESN'T GROW ON TREES "Money isn't everything - but a lack of it is." "Money is a terrible master, but an excellent servant."rn- PT Barnum (American circus showman) "Money can't buy you happiness. But it helps you to be miserable in comfort." - Woody Allen (I think) INTRODUCTION These thoughts are extracted from Oprah Winfrey's fine show, which I watch regularly (enough free advertising for her - she doesn't need it!).

In today’s challenging world, there are many things that require our undivided attention and a great attention span. With the ever evolving concept of multi- tasking, it becomes more and more difficult to concentrate on the task at hand when the mind is befuddled by thoughts of another one. Elapsing time and the need to hurry especially comes to play when creative writing assignments are to be handed in, or creative writing solutions are to be thought off with a fast- closing

rnIf you want to learn to write articles that maintain the interest of your readers you want to avoid wandering from the intended topic too often. Your article writing efforts should always focus on the subject or point you're trying to make to the reader. By deviating from the main topic you risk confusing and losing the reader while also making the writing process more difficult. Let's face it writing articles can be challenging enough as it. By adding content that is meani

Jesus Wished a Better World for All Mankind A Letter (from the `Gisbo e Herald newspaper) Tags: Jesus, Jesus Christ, Gisbo e Herald, Bob Hughes, Christianity, faith, environment Web site: www.gisbo eherald.co.nz/opinion/letter/?id=22473 Thursday, April 28, 2011 I write this on Earth Day, which coincides with Good Friday 2011 years after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

To put it quite simply, an affirmation is a thought, silent or spoken, either positive or negative, which is repeated throughout the day. Most of us tend to think of affirmations as always positive, as in “I am confident and successful!” But the thought “I am useless!” is also an ...

In the world of website content writing, writing is no longer a necessity. With the advent of modern transcription technology, people can now talk to the computer which in turn will do all the typing. This has brought ease and relief to many article writing professionals worldwide who have embraced this software with open arms. One important factor for the popularity of transcription software is it can type up to 250 words in a minute. This is much more then what an average human being can type. An average human can type up to 80 words per minute. No doubt this software is so popular!

Regardless of your daily schedule, whether you work for someone else or yourself, your goal is to compete against yourself to see how much you can get done that contains the most value every day. Think of it as a personal game that you are playing. Each day when you set your personal deadlines and making the most of your schedule, work to race against those set time goals. Work faster, beat the clock, and accomplish your tasks earlier than expected. Do you want to know how t

As a business owner who works with other business owners, I see a lot of dreams. Sometimes these dreams take the form of little goals... I want to offer a new coaching program. Sometimes they take the form of medium goals... I want to facilitate a writing retreat. And then sometimes they take the form of a big-ass fantasy... I want to create a brand-new business to support women in transition. The thing is - big, medium, or small - it's scary to go after your dreams. That's an easy word to use - scary - but here's what that fear really feels like.

MY GREATEST RACE: "THE RACE OF LIFE" Submitter's Note: Craig is presently working on his latest novel 'The (My) Greatest Race'. These are some notes (some thoughts on the 'spiritual and writing jou eys' - some from authors unknown) that I've collected and jotted down over the years. So will share with you. Enjoy... * A Creed (to live by): * Treat ALL people with respect * Be responsible and accountable (for our actions) * Do your best * Never give up * Don't take life too seriously The principles you live by create the world you live in.

As bloggers, wanna-be writers and hopeful freelancers, we hear, probably on a daily basis, just how important guest blogging is. We know we should be guest blogging which means we know we should be actively seeking out new blogs and new sites as potential homes for our precious content. And usually, considering we’re “writers,” we think we’re fairly good at putting words on a page and drafting an informative, helpful, hopefully even mildly entertaining piece of work.

Think of each breath. In any given moment, as long as we are living, we are in the state of either exhaling or inhaling; natural breathing occurs without any sticks, stitches or catches. Now think for a moment about the point of motion in between the two phases of breath, the point after you are done inhaling and begin to exhale, or the point when you are finished exhaling and begin to inhale. Imagine that the breath itself were visible, and that you could see how it swirls as it is brought into the lungs. Do you see how that activity never ceases?

If you are new to writing articles, it may take you an hour or more to complete each one. With practice, along with the proper technique, you can routinely write a 400 word article in 30 minutes or less. Practice the steps below and you can easily write five to ten articles in a day. You must first choose a topic. If it is a topic that you are familiar with, make a note of the five or ten points that you want to cover. If you are writing about an unfamiliar topic, research s

In the world of website content writing, creating a blog to express ideas and opinions is the recent internet trend. There are many uses behind creating a blog. Again, sometimes a blog isn’t that necessary when you think from a business point of view.

The genre of an argumentative essay is very interesting but time-consuming. It requires the writer to research and collect facts and evidence in support of the arguments. In the whole essay, the author defends his argument with evidence and refutes counterargument with opposing evidence. The writer creates a compelling argumentative essay by adding persuasive elements to impress the audience and make them think from his/her perspective. You can buy argumentative essay from an expert writer.

An aspiring author recently called me to explore writing coaching to help him write his book. He wondered about hiring a ghostwriter. Generally, I’m all about writing your book yourself. I’ve met too many people who’ve hired ghostwriters and been disappointed. And most relatively smart people can develop an engaging (or even compelling) style and find their authentic voice as a writer by learning a few important skills with the help of a writing coach or editor.

Core Principles of Styling Your Business Writing Remember the time you heard a senior executive making a speech at some corporate dinner or employee’s day when the speaker said something so crisp that it made you go, “That’s what I’m talking about… you nailed it!” In ways more than one, those are exactly the sort of sentiments that good business style writing should evoke every time.

If you're writing a business, self-help, or other instructional book, then it may not seem important to share information about your personal experiences. The purpose of your book is to give people strategies and tips they can use, right? Well, yes, but sharing your background is a powerful way to connect with your readers and show them how your material can help them when they apply it.

I recently had some issues with a business who was providing a service for me. I couldn't get my messages through: no one responded to my emails or my voice mails. What I found out later was that a former employee had done some damage as she left the company, and the staff was dealing with repeated fires. They didn't have time to deal with me. (And that's another system to talk about another day.) So, lots of issues, lots of holes, lots of missing or broken systems. And all of it can be repaired.

According to an article in Forbes in 2013, there were almost 28 million small businesses in the United States, and over 22 million of those were self-employed with no additional payroll or employees. Over 50% of the working population (that’s about 120 million people) works in a small business. And the last statistic for now: small businesses have generated over 65% of the net new jobs since 1995. So, seems like a small business is the way to go, huh?

Writing assignments are often considered the worst possible class or course assignment. There's nothing worse than sitting down in front of a computer, with a blank screen in front of you.

And when you are ready to finish the paper, how do you make sure you catch all the mistakes? nUsing Word nUnless you regularly use Word (the word-processing software in Microsof

WHAT IS COPYRIGHT AND HOW DO YOU PROTECT IT (Extracted from Online Writing Course)? INTRODUCTION AND AUTHOR'S COMMENT: This article (originally part of the writing course I ran rnat the local polytechnic and developed about twelve years ago) was written for the "OFFLINE and real world" here in New Zealand and the United Kingdom... well before I knew about the "amazing intricate mysteries of the net". However, I believe, the principles should also be applied (perhaps not so stringently) to the "Wild West of cyberspace".

Definition of a journal Famous author Ron Klug believes that, journal is a place to record daily happenings. However, as he also says it is far more than that: A journal is also a tool for self-discovery, an aid to concentration, a mirror for the soul, a place to generate and capture ideas, a safety valve for the emotions, a training ground for the writer, and a good friend and confidant. Mary Louise Holly clarifies this point well:

White papers are an excellent way to showcase your company’s abilities and to prove to prospective clients that you can solve their problems. These documents – first used by governments to argue for policy decisions – are natural vehicles for businesses who want to foster trust and introduce themselves to prospective clients. nnWhy? Because a white paper is not an overt sales tool. It seeks to educate and persuade. By making a case for a company’s strategies, it suppo

In the world of website content writing, a big challenge that a person has to face when they think of turning into a blogger is the selection of topic they want to cover. The bloggers are always in jeopardy when it comes to decide on a particular topic for article writing. They start to lose confidence in themselves and think they are incapable of writing about anything. They also cannot be sure whether or not their topic would be happily accepted by the readers or not. This article discusses about ways of choosing a topic to blog.

Great blog writing can make or break a blog. If you structure your blog well, then you will capture the attention of a solid and loyal audience. Of course you can also write a cheap blog post and capture the attention of thin air. What is the difference between a cheap blog post and quality blog content writing? Generally quality blog content writing has features that include formatting, a targeted audience, dynamic headlines, and a point. If you write without having a plan a
