CREDIT SCORES: WHAT AFFECTS IT AND HOW IT AFFECTS YOU
Credit scores are fickle and hard to predict. Credit scores are determined by analyzing credit records and are supposed to show a person’s creditworthiness. Since the score uses so many different factors, it is impossible to know for sure how much an action will raise or lower your score. Different actions will impact your score in different ways, and those ways can change based on your current score.

When Customers Lie – Don’t be Lead Astray
It's a sad truth, some customers don't tell the truth. They want time to decide, they are not sure about you, or they just don't want to put you on the defensive. Either way, don't get angry, get educated so you can adjust the way you talk to people.

Life’s A Journey Not A Race Or An Event
Imagine looking at your life as a series of invitations to be fully alive in each moment. See those situations that stretch you out of your comfort zone as healing and growth opportunities - blessings in disguise. Savor the people and moments that bring you joy. Slow down and bring your focus out of the past and future to the present moment to appreciate and receive the daily gifts that come your way.
Money Talk
Conversations about money abound. We usually talk aloud about money when we’ve just had an unexpected bill pop up, a dry season with income or some other painful experience. It’s quite acceptable in American culture to complain and fret to each other about our finances. In fact, others will join in with you to make a fast pity party. It’s almost cool to complain.
When to Fold ‘Em
I should get a reaction here; after all I’m the guy who keeps saying “never quit,” right? Let’s not call it quitting then; let’s call it a “tactical re-deployment!” Just to make things a little more complicated, I’ve also traditionally been the guy who says not to listen to the detractors when they’re telling you to lay down. Today I’m going contrarian on that view as well.

An Eight-Step Process for Ensuring Your Acquisition and the Integration are a Success
Far too many companies make the mistake of acquiring another organization, only to attempt immediately to assimilate the new company into the original company’s existing processes, programs, and culture. That is why acquisition integration is often extremely painful and unsuccessful. With more than 25 years of experience in executive human resources positions and consulting, I have advised dozens of company presidents, CEOs, and board members on strategies and processes that help ensure a successful acquisition or merger. With that experience and research, I have honed an eight-step process that provides proven strategies for successful integration of two disparate organizations.

Make Fewer Cold Calls and Get Better Results
Cold calling, the old way, has to be the most painful form of sales work you can experience. There’s a lot of rejection, fear, and deflated hopes.

Death by Marketing & The Emergence of Retro Service
If you want to succeed, simply do the opposite of what unsuccessful people do! I’ve always liked this maxim, as it makes perfect sense when you think about it. So to learn how to be successful in business we must first establish how to be unsuccessful. To experience a fast but painful business death, there are many roads one can explore. However one of the quickest and surest routes is to engage 'Traditional Marketing' and a Balance Sheet Business strategy.
Guide to Quality Performance Reviews
Recently, Randstad's 2002 Employee Review showed that 92% of employees with regular performance reviews were satisfied with their manager or supervisor while only 72% of those with no regular reviews were satisfied. Repeatedly, we see supervisor effectiveness as one of the top reasons employees leave an organization. The cost of either an employee loss or just a loss in productivity from supervisor ineffectiveness could be very painful to the bottomline. So, if this statistic is true, do we really want 20% of our workforce to be dissatisfied with our managers simply because they do not have regular performance reviews? If not, then we need to provide managers with techniques and tools to make performance reviews less painful and more beneficial.

Finding the Magic when you¡¦ve Been Downsized
Losing a job is painful. For senior executives whose lives have been so intertwined with that of their company or business, it is especially painful. There is no way around it. And that's the point. If you try to "get around it," it will likely take you on a detour that will delay what you want: a great new position. Dr. Susan Lord has valuable advice to help get you in "inspired action" mode. That is when the magic begins and that is when you most likely will attract your next career opportunity.
Painfully Employed: They got it bad and that aint good
When I was 13, I heard my great aunt say that she purchased an expensive car because she hated her job and needed an incentive to stay. Years later, when I struggled with my own discontent and watched others struggles with theirs, her words resonated with me. I may have been gainfully employed at the time, but I felt painfully employed. During my struggle, I vacillated between excitement, swinking (not quite swimming, not quite sinking) and painful employment: excited with any new opportunities, swinking when they didn't fulfill my expectations, and painfully employed when I became too comfortable being uncomfortable. Three words, "comfortable being uncomfortable," and one quote, "if you don't know what port you are sailing to, no wind is favorable," summed up my painful employment.

Does the Younger Generation Think We are the Idiots?
We have all had an idiot for a boss at some point in our lives. For some of us that pain is a present reality and for others it is a painful memory. And, for others the experience is yet to come. And if you ask the younger workers today, the disease is more prevalent in the workplace than we like to admit. The new worker of today's high-technology work force seems to resist being led by many of the traditional, short-term focused managers and supervisors in the workplace today.
