Part 1 - After the ball is over

The ball is very definitely over. A good time was had by all but what a mess to cleanup! This cleanup has been compounded by the errant behaviour of some of the leaders and organizers of the ball: unbounded greed, ethical standards have been eroded, personal values have been overturned, virtues have been diminished to the point of ridicule, morality has been questioned, integrity has been ignored, trust forgotten and the meaning of life seems to have been lost. This cleanup will be a massive task.

How to Kick Silicon Valley\'s Butt

From the fjords of Norway to the sands of Israel to the ice of Alberta to the waves of Honolulu, many regions of the world have Silicon Valley Envy. They look at the Valley as a place where people start cool companies that generate billions of dollars of wealth (and tax revenue), create thousands of jobs, and yet does not pollute the environment (at least compared with a smokestack). The question I hear over and over is, “How can we create our own Silicon Valley?”

You Have No Frame of Reference Here, Donny
I pity taxpayers wandering into the credit crisis story at this point. It is absurdly complex, and centers on a subject that most people neither care about nor understand. And the last time they looked in they were told this was about subprime and housing, which it no longer is -- at least not in large part.

Ambition - Good or Bad?

An anonymous writer said that ambition, fueled by compassion, wisdom and integrity, is a powerful force for good. It will turn the wheels of industry and open the door of opportunity for you and countless thousands of other people. Fueled by greed and the lust for power, ambition is a destructive force that ultimately does irreparable damage to the individual in its grasp and to the people within its reach.

The Gravity of Greed
The Gravity of Greed does nothing to help us succeed. Nickel and diming customers, penny- pinching to focus on getting every potential piece of revenue out of our markets, is not a strategy for success. It will backfire every time.

All is In Divine Order Even When it Doesn't Look Like It

All is in Divine Order and working perfectly even when it doesn't at first glance look like it. "Take this economic crisis -- while it may not match our preferences for how we'd like it to be, it's the perfect outcome to expect when you have a small number of ego-centric people hungry for power and run by greed making the decisions and policies while everyone else casts a blind eye of ignorance and complacency." Brad Swift from meditation While participating in John Randolph Price's 40 Day Prosperity Plan that includes meditating each day and then journaling, the above statement flowed from my pen. Upon reflecting on it later, it felt true and worthy of expanding upon.

How to be a high performance leader

The subject of leadership is the quintessential conversation of our generation, particularly at this time of great social change, commercial and political unrest. I believe leadership, [being a leader] to be a character trait, not simply a title you bestow upon a person or entity, without significant reason and evidence over an extended period of time. True 'leadership' is the ability to inspire action through ones own actions. This feat is not as easy to achieve as the definition suggests. Easy in theory - but ever challenging in practice.

The Hard Sell

I declare right up front that I am not, and never have been a fan of the Hard Sell. You have probably guessed that from all my previous posts. And if you ask most people about what they think about the profession of selling they will often describe something akin to the ‘Hard Sell'. Of late I have also noticed a rise in ‘hard sell' stories where people are being unnecessarily pressured to buy or sales people being pressured to sell at almost any cost. The hard times may be pushing some people to do things they wouldn't normally do like the "Hard Sell".

What You Want vs. What You Need
Real failure leads directly to transition. Real failure at midlife leads to transformation.

Laughter isn't just the best medicine - it's easy to take too!

In his book ‘Anatomy of an Illness’, Norman Cousins tells the story of how he ‘laughed his way out of a crippling disease’ that doctors believed to be irreversible. Cousins was an author, diplomat and editor of the literary magazine ‘The Saturday Review’. In 1964, he contracted ankylosing spondylitis – the connective tissue in his spine was disintegrating. He was told that there was no record of anyone ever beating the disease and that adrenal stress could have been the cause behind it.

The Insider's Guide to Penny Stocks, Part 2!

Becoming Fully Engaged - Facing the Truth
It is impossible to behave in accordance with our values all the time. There is often a gap between who we say we are, who we want to be, and how we act during any given day. Our behaviors reveal our character, yet sometimes we can behave nasty, lazy, and quite contrary to our values.

The Dark Side of Giveaways And Why You May Want To Opt Out

The Dark Side of Giveaways And Why You May Want To Opt Out There is a dark and disturbing side of giveaways today and you may prefer just to opt out, or pay the price by seeing your in-box flooded with spam and your hard drive flood with junk. An Online Business Owner wants to sell their own products and services. An Affiliate Marketer wants to promote other people's quality products. A bottom-feeding scammy-scummy-spammy email harvester just wants to haphazardly sell you anything that will make them a dime. All three of these worlds collide in the Giveaway Universe.

Fine Tune Those Ethics
Is there something you are doing in your business endeavors that causes you to pause and wonder, "Should I be doing this?" or "Is this right to do?" If so, then you are more than likely engaged in behavior that is a bit questionable and need to listen carefully to your inner voice.

Quit Managing and Start Leading!!

I want to warn readers that this article can, and hopefully will be, hazardous to the health of managers. It was written with the intention to both offend and challenge those who treat people as human cattle. I was inspired to write this article after speaking with two friends, one a mid-level employee and the other a senior executive with a company that was recently acquired by a corporate giant. Both calls were depressing, as these loyal and capable people were totally disengaged because their companies were so focused on the bottom line and, in their opinions, no longer cared about them. Worst yet, both of these individuals were considering leaving their organizations because of a genuine feeling that their respective companies no longer valued people.

I WANT IT AND I WANT IT NOW – The dilemma of employing Gen Y
This kind of thinking is probably what got us all into the terrible financial crisis that is raging across the world like some kind of out-of-control bush fire. The Wall Street credo that greed is good has rapidly become greed is very expensive. In this article though, I want to focus primarily on the habits and behaviours of what we know as the Gen Y kids, those born between 1979 and 1994.

We Are All Stewards on Spaceship Earth
Science is confirming what wisdom traditions have pointed to for thousands of years: that everything around us is part of a living universe, and that we are only stewards of whatever we think we “own.” As the old economy of fear and greed is crumbling, a new economy of partnership is being born. Many network marketing leaders are front-runners in this global shift.

How Do You Get Into Internet Marketing?
On the average an Internet Based Business doesnâ€™t survive beyond twelve months. Finding a business that has made it would have to be described with words like integrity, respect, and commitment, instead of words like greed and deception.
