Al Gores’ Approach to Work-Life Balance
In Al Gore’s documentary on global warming (An Inconvenient Truth), he makes reference to a picture used by the Bush administration to illustrate the conflict between money and environment. In the picture, there is a scale: on one side of the scale, there is a pile of gold bars, on the other the earth. As Al Gore somewhat wryly pointed out…gold is not much use to you if you have no earth. I must say the same thought strikes me when I read about “work-life balance.”

To Tell the Truth
If you are a baby boomer, “To Tell the Truth” refers to a TV show where 4 quasi-celebrity panelists ask questions of three guests to and try anddetermine which guest is telling the truth out of bold-faced untruths. . The interviewers identify the truth-teller by watching body language and eye movement and listening for clues.
Organizational Illusions
Truth-a proper and clear understanding of reality-is the key to success in organizations, teams,relationships, and careers. In fact, the departure point for all achievement is a relentless commitment to truth-truth about who we are, where we're headed, where the market is going, what our customers want, what our core competencies are (and whether anyone cares), what our core limitations are (and whether anyone can help us), and what our employees are thinking.
Guerrilla Learning
Let's start with the bad news. Much that you have learned in the past, although God's own truth at the time, has changed, leaving you misinformed or uninformed, so that a lot of what you know is wrong. In social situations, your lack of information is inconvenient, but in business, it's suicidal.

Entering 2008 Thriving not Just Enduring
Dear Jane, What do you mean by “endurance” and what’s wrong with it? I always thought enduring was a good thing. As we approach a new year, determined to make and keep our New Year’s resolutions (this time), I want to encourage you to resolve to thrive, not just endure. When I’m interviewed on radio or TV, I am always asked what the distinction is. I use an analogy taught to me by one of my mentors, Brandon St. John, some 25 years ago. When I saw it used in Al Gore’s, “An Inconvenient Truth,” I was both surprised and pleased.

The truth is out there! How to take advantage of it
I find the concept of truth fascinating. Just like one person’s act of terror is another person’s freedom fight, one person’s truth is another person’s fantasy. Rumours are sometimes said with such conviction or spread so far that they become a “truth” no matter what the reality is. Without getting too political, the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq is a classic example of a truth that was fantasy. Can we make our version of the truth and if we can will this help us in life and business?
Accept the Truth about Yourself
You must drill down to the core of your heart to find the real truth about you as a person. The real truth is always much better than your truth about you. Generally, the way others see you is much better than the way you see yourself. Change your self-paradigm and accept the truth about yourself-that is how you will begin to grow and achieve differently. As your belief in yourself increases, so does your ability to accomplish anything your heart desires. Your life will become much richer.

Network Marketing? You Can Only Go So Far on "Stretching the Truth!"
Don't "stretch the truth". I can't tell you how many marketing campaigns I see that "stretch the truth" to sell their products. Ok, perhaps I can, it's a lot. A whole bunch. A gigantic number. But just because they do it doesn't mean you have to. After all, I would like to still believe that at the end of the day honesty, truth, hard work, and a good product win. Perhaps that is "old fashioned" but I don't care.
Hard Learned Advertising Lessons For Small Businesses
One of the most important lessons is that what works well for a big and established business doesn’t necessarily work well for a small business or startup. The inconvenient truth is products don’t sell themselves. Marketing and advertising are a necessity. But how can a small business use their advertising budgets effectively.
