An acronym commonly used for stating a goal properly is SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistically high, and Time-based).

Efficiency vs. Effectiveness: Knowing the Difference Can Alter Your Marketing Results

Either as an employee or self-employed, the time we spend throughout our day can categorized in two different categories, effective or efficient.

Living the Balanced Life

Family life is always in flux, and sometimes these changes can be subtle, or take place over time.

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.
