When Does Training Become Learning?
Have you ever been in a situation that was so difficult you could not wait for it to be over? Learning happens when you experience every moment to the fullest, without dwelling in the past or anticipating the future. I learned something about the meaning of training and learning from an ancient Sufi tale called, Fatima, the Spinner and the Tent.

Are You Living Two Paychecks Away from Homelessness ?
There is a disturbing new trend sweeping America. Cities of homeless people are springing up in middle American towns all over the country. The people who populate these tent cities are not reckless or careless people with no self control. These are formerly hard working Americans who have lost their homes and lost their jobs. With homeless shelters overflowing, their only option is to pitch a tent and live in it.

How Many Poles Do You Have In The Water?
We tend to become complacent when we market our network marketing business as we tend to only do what we know will work for us. In order to grow our businesses it is important that we stretch our marketing efforts using different marketing vehicles (or put more poles in the water) to attract new prospects to our opportunity.
Build Traffic to Your Website through Blogging
If you've ever been deep sea fishing I'm sure you remember how there were far more fishing poles with lines in the water than there were people on the boat. This helped increase the chances that each person on the trip enjoyed the awesome experience of hooking and reeling in a nice big fish. You should employ this same strategy when you are looking to build traffic to your website. The most effective way to do it is to expand your digital footprint by increasing the amount of content that links back to your website from other websites.
Ready, Set, Go! Get Strategic on Values
Imagine this...your company spends dollars, time and energy to refine your mission, vision and values in a long needed retreat to reorient the team toward business success. Similar to the evangelist that comes to town to rev everyone up, the passion can often dissipate as the evangelist’s tent is disassembled and goes off to the next town. How can the passion become self-sustaining long after the retreat and into the future? The answer rests in getting and remaining strategic around the values you and your charges spend so much time identifying and marketing.

YOUR Attitude is YOUR Key to Success
How many of you out there feel like survivors? Have you experienced and survived a divorce, job change or life-threatening illness? I, too, am a survivor! And I used to be so proud of that word that I almost wore it as a "badge of courage" pinned on my chest. I had lived in a tent for 18 months with four children and physically built my own home-and I survived! I built that home for $28,000; and 2 years later it appraised at $98,000. And I lost it in an ugly divorce, walking away with nothing but my greatest assets, my four children; and I survived! I ended up having to work three jobs. Got up in the morning and repaired bathtubs on construction sites (I'm a plumber's daughter; sold real estate in the afternoon; got home to greet the kids from school, start dinner, and then I was off doing free talks at Rotary and Kiwanis meetings tryin
The Bozo Explosion
It's worth 4 minutes to read Guy Kawasaki's "What I learned from Steve Jobs." He lists 12 lessons not to be lost or forgotten -- worthy, because unlike other such articles, Guy has been inside the tent and experienced first hand what it was like to work with Jobs (he was the chief evangelist of Apple). I particularly like lesson #9 -- A players hire A+ players. This is precisely why hiring the right people is still your most important leadership skill.
