The Art of Asking the Right Questions
The truth is, most of us don’t know how to ask good questions, or when we do ask a really great question, it is by accident. There are several ways to ask questions. Some people seem really good at it, while others use a random, what-ever-pops-into-head approach.

Are You Too Smart to Succeed
When we worked in our educational consulting business in Germany many years ago, parents came to us because their kids were not able to get the grades they wanted. When working with these children we saw the following scenario played out over and over again. These children weren’t slow learners or stupid, they were actually too smart. When taking an exam these brilliant students would see so many complex ways to answer test questions that their answers were far too complicated. The teachers who evaluated their test could not make sense of these advanced answers and the students received failing marks as a result. Similar to these children many business owners do not realize how much more they can accomplish when they simplify their thinking and focus only on one idea at a time.
Is A Children's Small Business Franchise Right For You
Working with kids is profitable, but is it for you? Here are some questions you can ask yourself before jumping into a children’s franchise.
The Art of Asking Better Questions For Better Clarity, Focus and Greater Wealth
During a recent game of Scrabble my son doesn’t want to seek the answer to how to speak a word, he just wants to know the answer. When was it that we stopped seeking more answers by asking better questions? Very small children ask question after question and don’t look for someone to give them the answer. It seems to me that sometime in elementary school we stopped asking questions and started asking for answers.

Making Decisions
Several years ago I read a great book called ‘Kids Are Worth It – Giving Your Child the Gift of Inner Discipline’ by Barbara Coloroso. This book has served me very well as a parent giving me guidance in how to raise self-aware and self-disciplined children. In particular, I learnt by heart the following questions which I ask myself whenever I make decisions and in turn, have taught my children to ask whenever they make decisions. The 3 Decision Questions are: * Is it life threatening? * Is it morally threatening? * Is it unhealthy?

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.

Don’t Waste Your Energy Asking Why. Sometimes That’s Just the Way it Is!
Don't you just love it when you are cooped up in the car with young children, going on a long trip and every time they see something they haven't seen before, they begin with the questions? Well, if you are anything like me ... it drives you nuts! :) I understand these questions are an absolute requirement for their development and the answers you provide goes a long way in developing their intellectual capital. So, although it can be extremely frustrating and annoying, as parents, we need to take the time to answer these questions and show as little irritation as possible so you don't deter their inquisitiveness and stifle their growth. Even though this is true it'll still drive even the most patient of people crazy when every explanation is met with the question ... "Why?"
Where is your inner six year old when you need them?
One of the biggest issues for sales people is knowing the right questions to ask customers. In our experience many people complain of not knowing how to structure questions, or knowing what type to ask and when to ask them. In fact, we have found that many people are often caught wanting in the questioning department and suffer from what we call ‘amnesia questionitis’. Why is this so? Why are so many people paralysed when it comes to the vital skill of questioning? If you have been around any children aged from 3-6 years old you will know that they do not suffer from ‘amnesia questionitis’. In fact they never stop asking questions. It has been shown that asking questions and seeking answers comes naturally to all of us and as children we excel in this area. They also excel at listening too.

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
Why is it important to teach personal mastery to your children? Our children nowadays are the next generation. They would be facing a future that could hold immense possibilities and opportunities. But even with this bright future waiting for them, there is also a sad future waiting, a future where uncertainties and materialism can be prevalent. How can we prepare our children to face this kind of future.
Combating Summertime Boredom- How Children’s Services Franchises Keep Kids Entertained
Combating children’s boredom during the summer months often requires enrolling them in organized activities. And for the growing number of dual-income families grappling with keeping children occupied during the summer months, children’s summertime programs, camps and activities are not just a priority, they’re a necessity. As a result, the demand for the programs that children’s services franchises offer continues to climb. From sports and fitness franchises, to art and education businesses, a wide-range of children’s services franchises keep kids entertained during the summer and throughout the year.
