Misleading Mind-Sets, and Powerful Heart-Sets
Mind-sets can be accurate from a rational point of view but still be wrong. For example, a management professor at Yale University once responded to a student's proposal of a reliable overnight service that it was a "concept that is interesting and well informed, but in order to earn better than a C the idea must be feasible." Fred Smith went on to found the Federal Express Corporation. In the end, the professor's mind-set was wrong because his idea of what was feasible was limited. What is feasible, functional, possible, or proper to one person may be utter nonsense to a person who is working from the heart.

Want to Start a Home Based Business?
I have been a mother working from home for about 7 years now and have thrived in the flexibility that this working lifestyle has given me. I spent years wondering where my children were and what they were doing. Now I work when I need to, how I want to. I no longer trade time for money like I use to when I was working weeks of long hours. The life style I have just would not be possible working in those traditional parameters.

Making a Difference in People’s Lives: How to Find Your Purpose
Ever wonder why some people have a sense of purpose or reason and you don’t? I wondered this about myself many years ago and then went searching for my purpose. I was working a sales job that just wasn’t doing it for me. The money was okay but at the end of the day when I asked myself “what have I done today?” I couldn’t come up with anything substantial or meaningful. I knew that I wanted to make a difference in the world but I didn’t know how. I wanted my children’s children’s children to know who I was and why I was important.

Acting Like Adults
It is not uncommon to hear someone say, "People at work act like children most of the time." This is because in the pressure cooker of the working world, the behaviors of people get on each other's nerves, and they tend to regress back to the kind of playground rules that kept society in order when they were children. this does not wear well in an adult atmosphere, so what can we do about it?
Giving money to adult kids
‘To give or not to give' is the age-old question that parents of adult children often contemplate. When I am asked for advice on this topic my response is always the same: ‘neither a lender nor a borrower be' especially when it comes to family and friends. In my experience, the costs far exceed the monetary value given, as relationships tend to suffer irreparable damages.

The Power of Your Child’s Imagination by Charlotte Reznick PhD
I'm a firm believer that we need to encourage creativity in children. There are many businesses where creativity is crucial - how many successful entrepreneurs do you know that have limited creativity? The ones I know - are very creative in many areas of their business. We all know that children are the entrepreneurs of the future and it seems the creativity many of us take for granted isn't encouraged in children in the 21st century. So - this review is about a book that I hope parents and other people who work with children will take a close look at. Dr Reznick gives us wonderful tools to help develop a child's imagination and creativity, but also to help children be happier. For all the parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, mentors etc - this is a book you need to read.

Personal Mastery And Your Kids

How to Get Your Children To Go To Bed
Establishing a good nighttime routine can be difficult for families with children of all ages. If you start introducing a routine early in life, your kids may be more likely to stick to a routine later in life.

Keep in mind that you are the adult and the children are children. They are not in charge of the household. You are.
