3 Ways Women build great partnerships
There is something to be said for the way great friendships are formed, especially between women. The unique way women communicate and build relationships create the potential for strong business and lucrative partnerships when three simple guidelines are followed.

Building Trust and Friendships with Social Media

I’ve been in quite a few meetings lately where I listen to people complain about their declining sales numbers and they all seem to be focused intensely on the next tactic to use to increase their sales. Whether it is the new brochure, or the new addition to their website. The problem is … Simply adding a tactic will never be a long term solution! I want to make sure I don’t come across the wrong way. I am not saying I have all the solutions or that people who are experiencing declining sales are doing so because they don’t know what they are doing. I know we are in the midst of the worst economic conditions of all time and we are unfortunately all a victim of these circumstances. I personally look at difficult financial times as an excellent opportunity for the cream to rise to the top.

The Secret Of A Really Good Blog

A lot of people question what precisely is a blog and what can it do to help with your business, if anything at all. It is possible to make money with a blog, but you must first of all understand what a blog is, and what they are all about if you are going to make money with it. Blogs have been around for a long time now, but it is only recently that they have gained popularity in the last few years or so. Simply put a blog is a way for people to write their thoughts and opinions that then get posted on the web for other people to comment on; a bit like a journal. It is also a good way to build friendships around the world which in turn builds trust, and eventually a business relationship.

Defining success as a human being rather than a human doing requires the ability to tune out the constant barrage of external demands on time, talent and resources.

The American Dream Downsized, or Upscaled. Your choice.

Today’s news is filled with doom about the economy and dire predictions about a permanent downsizing of the American Dream. It’s as if our futures have become foretold. To me, this is precisely the time to talk about building wealth. The mind numbing tidal wave of financial collapse does not have to engulf you.

When it comes to wealth building, it always starts with a choice.

Social Disease

I have always subscribed to the philosophy of “work hard - play hard”. But I always separated my play FROM my work.

Natural Motivation (Surround yourself with the right people)

The decisions we make will be a result of the information that we have and our perception of the world. Both this information and this perception will be due to the people that have been a part of our lives. However, a lot of us like to consider ourselves as independent beings that make our own decisions. I do not see these two trains of thoughts as being mutually exclusive. By that I mean we do have the power to make independent decisions but that decision will be the outcome of the impact that other people have had on our life. The overall message is to surround yourself with people who will help provide you with the inform
