Let’s face it; there is no substitute for action. While we can spend a certain amount of time thinking about our business, our

goals, and various other aspects of our lives, nothing will happen

without action!

Falling into the thinking trap can be very easy, particularly if you are new to a business. You start to plan.

You plan where you are going to put your office. You work on your goals. You plan how much money…

If you are a good leader, you spend a great deal of time working with people in your organization. You work to teach them how to be successful. You offer them training

opportunities galore.

But, no matter how hard you work or how many opportunities you offer, you will in inevitably get that call from someone you have worked with telling you they are going to quit. And why are they going

to quit? Well, they may have a lot of excuses, but…

How do you see yourself? Do you think of yourself as attractive, intelligent, confident, and creative? Or do you see yourself as old, worn out, and boring?

How you see yourself is directly reflected outward. How you see yourself is how others see you and other will respond to you accordingly.

We all know how it goes. In spite of your great spam software, you open your email to find 30 new messages (even though you had gone through everything before you went

to bed a mere eight hours ago). Of those 30 messages, 20 want you to

buy something; the other 10 are related to your social networking site

or newsletters of some type.

You start opening some of them because, well, they look interesting. You click on a link in the…

We all know that whether it is in our business or in our personal lives, there are often consequences (intended and unintended) for our actions. Admittedly, sometimes we get

lucky and the potential consequences never happen, but, more often,

.

There can be two kinds of consequences—good and bad. Generally, we want to minimize the bad…

Everyone has their favorite of excuse for not wanting to change or start something new. The more resistant to change, the more excuses. Making significant changes in your life is hard work!

But what if you really could start from scratch? What if you put aside everything from your past, all your current problems, and just started over?

Starting over doesn’t mean you have to take a vow of poverty, divorce your current spouse, or…

There are some products we all use every day and we all assume are safe. After all, if they weren’t safe the government (a.k.a. the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)) wouldn’t let them be sold,

right? Maybe not.

The fact is that manufacturers don’t have to get FDA approval to introduce a new product. Nor does the FDA regulate what is in that product (beyond a list of ingredients that are prohibited).
