Career Bliss: Happily Ever Now What?
Trying to find the ideal job is like trying to find the ideal mate. Mr. Right may sound good on paper but off of it, his issues coupled with yours may overflow a newsstand. So what do you do? 1) Decide quickly based on the first few meetings that "he's just not that into you" or vice versa and keep looking OR 2) Date him to determine if the good outweighs the bad. If it does, make the most of it. If it doesn't, leave a bit wiser OR 3) Settle into an unsatisfying relationship because you feel it is safer than searching for someone else, or identifying what you want and pursuing it. So you redirect your discontent by focusing on your mate's issues, to avoid focusing on your own...believing that "treading water" in a bad relationship is favorable than swimming towards something better.

Internet Marketing Business - Easy To Do and Easy Not To Do
Working for yourself is not an easy task. You alone are accountable for your actions.

I have met a lot of women entrepreneurs who feel like they are 'drowning' because of all that they are doing, each and every day!

Each and every day, as women in business, we are faced with opportunities to grow our business! There is so much opportunity ‘out there' - and it's all there for the taking. Often, I have found, we get in our own way when it comes to growing our business or making changes in our lives.
What Are You Worth?
I’ve always thought that sales reps have an invisible dollar sign $ above their heads with a number that represents how much money they think they are worth. It is this financial image that determines how they perform more than any other single factor. It’s more important than what the economy is doing, or how their leads are, or what their territory is like or anything else.

Begin the Practice of 'Thanks-Living'!
When you think of a person who has had a positive influence in your life, have you ever found yourself saying: "Someday, I'm going to send them a note" or "One of these days, I'm going to phone them to let them know what a great influence they've been on me"? I know that we all have those thoughts – because I've had them. I also know that 'someday' may never happen.

Decisions, Decisions
Do you ever wonder why decisions you make foster reactions that you never dreamed of? In a Hay Group research brief entitled "Executive Blind Spots," the results of a large survey concluded that the higher executives rose within an organization; • The more they over-rated themselves compared to how they were rated by others, and; • The wider the gap between how they saw themselves and how their peers, subordinates, and managers viewed them. Individual contributors and lower level managers, in contrast, showed no significant gaps between how they and others rated them.
The Coaching Fallacy What it is and what it isnt
There is much confusion about what Coaching is- and isn’t.
