Job Seeking? Here are Five Ways to Use Universal Principles to Find Your Ideal Job
Searching for a new job can be one of the most challenging and emotional experiences of your life. When you use universal principles—like the Law of Attraction, Affirmations and Gratitude—you will have the clarity, confidence and commitment you need to succeed. By following these five strategies, you’ll have a competitive edge to not only find another job but the one that’s right for you.

Money Worries? Here's Help.
We're all paying more for gas and food. Some of us have lost our jobs to corporate belt tightening or lost our homes to foreclosures. Consumer confidence--the degree of optimism we express through spending and saving--is at its lowest level in 16 years. Times are tough and may get tougher. Now more than ever, we must develop a high prosperity consciousness to keep our spirits up and maintain a positive attitude. One of the best ways to do this is through using universal principles.

Are Your Breaking the Law?
You may pay your taxes and stop at red lights, but that doesn't necessarily mean you haven't been breaking a few laws. I'm speaking about universal laws. The one you're probably most familiar with is the law of gravity. There's no disputing it. What goes up must come down. That's simple enough. But, did you know there are other laws that govern your life every day with the same power and consistency as gravity?

Taking Your Career to the Next Level
The voice on the other end of the phone echoed with anxious desperation familiar to any sales pro struggling to make quota. " I´ve just got to get my career to the next level," she sighed. "What level do you want to reach?" I asked. "Do you know the level you´re stuck at now?" "I could tell you how my manager describes my current production level," she answered, "but it wouldn´t be very lady-like." For this sales pro, like many others, getting to the next level is merely a figure of speech. It´s slang for improving sales figures, breaking through one´s current production plateau. She probably won´t attain next level until and unless she knows what the levels of selling are and the impact they have on personal sales productivity

How To Give Effective Feedback
Feedback is an effective way of communicating with employees, colleagues or members of your team. Feedback can be both positive and constructive (rather than negative). When giving feedback it is important to have a balance of positive and constructive feedback otherwise the receiver may feel that they only ever receive one type of feedback. It is also important not to always link the two, especially in the same conversation - giving with one hand and taking away with the other.

From Sheep to Sodas: The Early Years of J. Willard Marriott
"A man should keep on being constructive, and do constructive things,” J. Willard Marriott once said. “He should take part in the things that go on in this wonderful world. He should be someone to be reckoned with. He should live life and make every day count, to the very end. Sometimes it's tough. But that's what I'm going to do.”

Detox Your Corporate Culture
Just because people don't leave your organization doesn't mean the culture is constructive. In high-paying, benefit-rich industries employees can feel obligated to stay even though they are dying on the inside. Instead judge your culture on the level of sick days taken, the enthusiasm with which employees conduct themselves, the amount and pace of change and innovation. If these areas are lower than you like, chances are your corporate culture is sapping the life out of your employees.

How Leadership and Corporate Culture Impact Profitability
Turns out leadership isn't just a feel good thing. It drives the bottom line. A constructive culture is one where there is a sense of achievement, challenge, growth, encouragement and humanistic relationships. Organizations with a constructive culture had consistently higher profit margins. Aggressive cultures (very task/numbers driven without support/encouragement) have the most erratic profit margins.

Giving Constructive Criticism
It’s a fact of life we can’t avoid. Whether it’s working in a professional environment, learning in the educational realm, or interacting with friends or family, at some point in time we all have to face criticism. How we may perceive that criticism depends on whether we are on the giving or receiving end. When done right, constructive criticism is not meant to hurt or humiliate a person. Rather, constructive criticism is meant to build a person and push them to reach the next level of success. Learning how to give constructive criticism makes a difference in regards to how others view an individual and also how he or she demonstrates leadership. This issue of Astronology takes a deeper look into how to give constructive criticism in the workplace.

Big Bird’s Guide to Change Management - Learn your A, B, C, Ds
In the 1950s, psychologist Albert Ellis introduced Rational Therapy in which people were taught the A-B-C-D approach for dealing with uncomfortable situations. The A-B-C-D approach states that when a person is confronted with an adversity A, their beliefs B, will influence the way they respond to that adversity and lead to emotional and behavioral consequences C. If the beliefs B, are rigid, absolute, and unrealistic, the consequences C, will likely be self-defeating and destructive. If the beliefs B, are flexible and constructive, the consequences C, will likely be self-helping and constructive. People can change their lives and their consequences by D, disputing and challenging their beliefs.

Upgrading Performance Closes More Sales: Lessons learned from 14 year old hockey players
Performing at your highest level is difficult to do over and over again. It’s not your talent that fluctuates. You may alter and upgrade your game plan and knowledge level, but at the end of the day true high-level performance seems to be driven by something other than talent alone. I believe winning at the highest level, closing the biggest or the most sales, is based on the energy you bring – with all other factors being reasonably similar.

Only A Level Players Need Apply
“A” level players want to work with other “A” level players. It makes them better, stronger and even more productive.
