Improving the Quality of your personal life
November 7, 2008
Is your personal life in an uproar, how is your self esteem? Everyone always has room for improvement; yet, some of us need more than others do.
There are ways to improve yourself once you ask yourself “what do I need to do to improve.” Maybe sitting down and writing a list of things that you don’t like about yourself could help. Make sure you prioritize them making the most important one on top and the less important on the bottom. Everyday work on this list checking off each one as you feel it is getting better. Remember don’t stop improving them just because you’ve put a check beside it. It takes time to make changes but you can do it.
How To Organize Your Day
November 6, 2008
One of the hardest things for most individuals working from home is to stay focused. One of the best ways to stay focused is organization. In addition, being organized will help your time management skills. The two are very much intertwined.
Planning out your day is very important. What you will do in the morning, afternoon/and or evening, depending on what hours you work is paramount.
Have a trigger that starts your day. For example, my trigger is I finish my morning walk. Once this is done, I make a cup of Java and to the office I go.
How Do You Paint New Age
November 5, 2008
About once every year or so, I take a critical look at the design of my web site and now our popular newsletter and wonder what I could do to create a theme background for them.
The site has been changed several times over the last four years, but it doesn’t really have a theme backdrop. I deliberately keep it simple for easy viewing and administration.
Once again it is screaming at me to do something. I have spent some time looking over ready made themes and theme pages, but nothing has come up New Age.
How Do You Attract Opportunity Into Your Life
November 4, 2008
Someone recently asked me the question: “How can I have more opportunities come into my life?” Good question, but I think my answer surprised them a bit.
I bypassed the obvious (and necessary) points about hard work, persistence and preparation. They actually were very hard workers. And they had the great attribute of being seekers, they were on the outlook. But I felt maybe they were missing this next and most valuable point - attraction.
I always thought opportunities and success were something you went after, then I found out that I needed to turn it around. Opportunities and success are not something you go after necessarily, but something you attract - by becoming an attractive person.
How Much Is Poor Time Management Costing You

* If you were paying you to prioritise emails over coaching your team, would you feel you were getting a good return on your investment?
* If you were paying you to waste time on trivia rather than planning your next quarters sales plan – would you think you were getting good value for money?
* If you were paying you to sit in numerous unproductive meetings would you feel that was a worthwhile contribution?

Are You In It - To Win It
October 20, 2008
Have you ever heard this? “It isn’t whether you win or lose. It is how you play the game.” I am sure you have. But do you know who said it? Some guy who came in second place!
You see, I have a problem with that statement. It presupposes, or at least strongly suggests that winning and playing the game “right” are mutually exclusive propositions. Perhaps we ought to have this as our goal as we pursue success: We want to win, while playing the game right! I totally disagree with the statement that we should win at all costs. Instead, we should do everything good that we can to win at this game we call life. And we ought also do all that we can to help others win.
7 Destructive Habits
October 19, 2008
WARNING! If you want to have a fantastic life, never engage
yourself in these 7 deadly habits that incompetent people do.

Yup. They see problems in every opportunity.
They complain that the sun is too hot. They cursed the rain
for ruining their plans for the day. They blame the wind
for ruining their hair.
They think that everyone is against them. They see the problems
but never the solutions.
