In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning
What keeps you up at night? How do you address and face conflict and still get your beauty sleep? This article gives you concrete leadership skills to manage the conflict in work relationships, so you can succeed at work and get a good night’s sleep.

Why is Getting a Good Night's Sleep so Important to Your Workday?
I used to have so much trouble sleeping. In 2008, when the economy starting going bad, it caused a lot of people to have sleepless nights. For our good health, we all need a certain amount of deep sleep every night to revive our bodies and minds. If you go long periods without sound sleep, it can seriously affect your health. I suffered the loss of my job. In the process of looking for work at home, I received a tremendous invitation and explanation of an Internet marketing business that also told those 50-60 K income stories but got past those "eye-catchers" and explained their business to me. No more sleepless nights for me except that I enjoy working at this business so much that I am not keeping regular 9-5 hours. I can work whenever and wherever I please.

Clarity Through Panic
June ‘04. I had just quit my job selling mufflers at Midas. I went for 6 weeks without making a single dollar. It was one of those wonderful warm summer weekends you get in the Midwest… yet it was as though I couldn’t sleep, eat or breathe. The pit in my stomach grew daily, I was terrified. I took a leap of faith, quit a decent paying job, to pursue a full time career in online marketing and almost like a little bird who decides to jump out of the nest a just a couple days too early, only to find the ground is patiently waiting to reach up and smack him in the face.

Self-Coaching Tip: If You Can't Breathe....Laugh!
In the wee hours of a morning, during my son's first month of life, I rocked Jonathan to sleep after his two a.m. feeding. I had dozed for a moment or so, lulled by the gentle rhythmic rocking and the heat of our bodies against one another. When I swam back to consciousness, I opened my eyes expecting to find Jonathan asleep.

Toxicity and Poor Nutrition Affect Business Performance.
We all know to be healthy, we are supposed to eat right, get exercise, drink water and sleep. It sounds so simple to say. Yet in this century of life on the run, it is not so easy to do. Many of us work in positions that leave us in front of computers, behind desks and much more. Many work in positions that never let them slow down for a proper meal during the day. We do not sleep the eight recommended hours. We believe our coffee should count in our glasses of water we are supposed to drink each day. Caffeine and other stimulating substances have become our mainstay rather then the occaisional lift.

The healing properties of a spike mat
Lying just 30 minutes every now and then on a spike mat can really help reduce stress, back, neck and shoulder pain and improve sleep.

Lesson #4: Quality Questions Create a Quality Life
“Questions provide the key to unlocking our unlimited potential,” says Robbins. “Quality questions create a quality life. Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.”

Lesson #3: Your Work Ethic Is Your Most Important Asset
“I'm not too good at lying still in the sun,” says McMahon. “I have to do something with my mind, or I'll get in trouble.” By all accounts, McMahon was obsessed with wrestling since he was a little boy, and he continues to be just as devoted a fan today. It is his passion for his work that allows him to maintain the strong work ethic that he has, working long after his competitors have already gone to sleep.

Lesson #3: Everybody Deserves The Opportunity To Succeed
“I just wanted to make a million dollars,” says Gardner. “But I couldn't sing and I couldn't play ball, so I said to my mother, ‘How am I going to make a million dollars?’ And she said to me, ‘Son, if you believe you can do it, you will.’” He couldn’t sing, he couldn’t play ball; he was also homeless and he was black – Gardner definitely had the odds stacked against him. However, he took his mother’s lesson to heart and was determined to succeed regardless.

Lesson #4: Get Your Motivation from Love, Not Money
In the 1990s, sales were soaring, outlets of Domino’s were popping up all over the world, and Monaghan should have been the happiest guy on earth. But, on top of the world is the last place you would have found him. Instead, Monaghan was tormented with guilt.

Lesson #5: You Are Never Too Small To Get Started
Some entrepreneurs think that they need to wait until they get that one angel investor to come along for them to be able to start up their business. Others believe that until they get an office of their own, or perhaps even some part-time assistance, that they will never be able to get their business off the ground. But, if there is one important lesson to take away from Sanders’ experience, it is to get real and get started already.

Lesson #3: Every Spare Second Counts For Success
“Where the idea for Harry Potter actually came from, I really couldn’t tell you,” says Rowling. “I was traveling on a train between Manchester and London and it just popped into my head. I spent four hours thinking about what Hogwarts would be like – the most interesting train journey I've ever taken. By the time I got off at King's Cross, many of the characters in the books had already been invented.”

Lesson #3: “No person can get very far in life working 40 hours a week.”
Growing up in an impoverished childhood, Marriott knew all too well that success began with determination. From traveling across the U.S. to help support his father’s sheepherding business, to working every summer to pay for his university tuition, Marriott grew up with a determined attitude. Even his professors knew that Marriott was someone to watch for, after he turned his small, one-man operation selling woollen items to lumberjacks into an operation of 45 college students who sold products in seven different states.

Keep Looking Up and Take Back Our Liberties
Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights. Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating, to pray before we go to sleep. Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying.

A Sudden Inspiration
It continually amazes me how things come my way, from the outside and from the inside, as the following poem did directly after saving my story about Mr. Perlman. I had written this poem in 2003 as a tentative introduction to my new book. I can’t think of any time more fitting than to send it to you all now. Consider it a love poem to you all, and to all the Dreamers everywhere.

There aren’t any more where that came from

What Is Success?
Very frequently I'm asked to give my definition of success. Here is one of my responses: I believe success is getting a reasonable number of the things money will buy and all of the things that money won't buy. (People who say they're not interested in money will lie about other things, too!)

The Rhythms of My Life
I was in a board meeting yesterday with a company planning a major commercial release of their product “at the end of summer”. We managed to turn this into 8/31/09 at 11:59:59pm pacific time (since I don’t believe you can release something unless there is a time/date stamp associated with it.) As part of this discussion, we spent some time discussing the notion of a daily / weekly / monthly rhythm for both the CEO/CTO as well as the product team.

We work long hours, sacrifice personal time, and even sleep. We put our heart and soul into what we're trying to achieve, only to find that we're spinning our wheels.

Depression can have a mysterious cloak around it, however, it helps to know that there are two types. “Primary Depression” is hereditary and you can feel depressed without there being a trigger or reason why you are depressed. “Secondary Depression” is the result of a trigger, perhaps because you are struggling with ADHD, repeatedly feeling like a failure despite great efforts to live up to society’s standards of what is “normal.”

Time Management Does Not Work, Manage Yourself Instead.
When you feel like there is not enough time in the day to get everything done it is time to take a reality check. Let us face it, we all have the same 24 hours in a day. It is how we choose to use that time that is causing pause. Pause to think about how to manage ourselves better.

Stress Buster! Live in the moment.
I became aware of living my life in the moment a few years ago when I read "The Power of Now," by Eckhart Tolle. After reading that book I never thought about my past, present and future the same way. That book opened my eyes to time I wasted living in the past and in my future and throwing away my present as if it is worthless.

Emotional Freedom: Liberate Yourself From Negative Emotions and Transform Your Life by Dr Judith Orloff
There are many people who are facing a wide variety of stresses, discouragements, disappointments and other events and situations that take an emotional toll on their lives. Sadly, many people feel there isn’t much they can do to help themselves, their loved ones or their business associates who are having a tough time. Or, they feel that medication is the only answer.

I Know How to Do This!
I thought I had pre-paved a happy-go-lucky attitude towards being a mother. I had intended to let my son, Lucky, follow his own path and my job was to get out of the way. Ahem! Well, my little controller side came out in full force in ways I had not expected. I started out by trusting that Lucky would find his own sleeping pattern. That didn't work. So, when he was four months old I swung to the opposite side of the issue. My child would forever more be on a sleeping schedule. This potentially could've worked if I were more relaxed about it. But I wasn't. I was in huge conflict with my mate, Steve, about my schedule and method of putting Lucky to bed.

Local Store Marketing- A Process
If I can impress one key thought on a restaurant operator with regard to Local Store Marketing- it is this... ...Local Store Marketing must become a process NOT an event. By way of example, a trip to one high school to setup a fundraiser, only to have 12 people show up does not indicate that fundraisers are useless. That action only indicates that one attempt failed. A better approach is to attempt 3 fundraisers every month. The law of averages will favor the process. Most restaurant operators that struggle market out of negative emotions, they react and engage in random events of marketing madness that they hope will result in a home run. Plan multiple Local Store Marketing tactics for the year. Settle for base hits each month and you'll sleep like a baby.

How To Build Your Own "Cruise Control" Marketing And Lead Generation System
Most people are pressed for time and looking for ways to leverage what little time they have. The second most popular reason for not building a business, behind having no money, is no available time. This comes from a lack of understanding that there are alternatives to always spending your PERSONAL time to generate leads for your business.

So, here's a few things you can do to free up some time in your lead generation efforts.

Living the Balanced Life
Family life is always in flux, and sometimes these changes can be subtle, or take place over time. It is easy to say that we all need to achieve balance in our lives, but it can be hard to do-especially when we think balance means spending equal time in each area of life. Mothers can't comprehend how to achieve balance with just one child, let alone three or four. Likewise, career people often feel that they are too busy to achieve balance-that their job controls too much of their time. Once you know your Core Desires and understand what balance really is, you'll more readily attain it. A balanced life should be the kind of a life where you have achieved a high level of harmony and satisfaction in all areas-at the same time.
