It is All Your Fault
What makes your business stressful? The huge volume of work? Having copious different projects to monitor? The long hours? Always thinking about work? Is it the bills? No. Actually, it's you! We are evolving into a population of complainers who want to stay 'under the radar' of responsibility, through avoiding conflict, negating ownership and persistent procrastination
How to Build a Mastermind Group
A Mastermind group is a supportive group of like-minded people who collectively brainstorm ideas, strategies, techniques and concepts to help people move forward in their business/life and become 'unstuck'. A Mastermind group is not a social gathering of friends, neither is it a session to air your complaints about life and feel sorry for yourself.

Work Life Balance And The Power of Positive Thinking
Can we learn how to respond optimistically and hopefully to events that challenge work life balance? According to psychologist and researcher Martin Seligman, the answer is YES. While some folks appear to be hardwired to respond optimistically to ups and downs in life and work, others are wired for pessimistic responses. Fortunately, you do not have to settle for the wiring you were born with. Find out how you can improve your resilience and your hopefulness by acquiring solid positive thinking skills.

The three types of happiness - are you really happy?
Dr Martin E.P. Seligman, a proponent of positive psychology, has identified three types of happiness.

Choosing Our Reality
An optimist expects the best possible outcome and dwells on the most hopeful aspects of a situation. He or she believes that this is the best of all possible worlds, the universe is improving, and good will ultimately triumph over evil. An optimist believes no one ever ruined their eye sight by looking at the bright side of life. Research on Emotional Intelligence, Attribution Theory (see Martin Seligman's book outstanding book Learned Optimism), and related fields show that optimists not only go further in life, they also have a much better time on the trip. Optimists are generally healthier, happier, and leaders in their fields.
Leaders Inspire Their Teams With Optimism
Seligman has found that pessimists fall into the trap of the three Ps when faced with negative change or setback. They make the issue Permanent, Pervasive and Personal. They avoid wearing clean underwear because it will only tempt car accidents. When faced with difficult change or problems, we have three choices. We can be a Survivor and just hang in there, hoping for the best, sitting on the fence, and waiting to see what happens. Or we can choose to be a Victim, using the situation as one more example of how these terrible things keep happening to us.
