Your Career Plan
Author: Elizabeth Lengyel

Youve been going 6-to-late; exhausted by running the supersonic treadmill of life and wish you had a different job. But you cant because you have no time and youre left spent at the end of every day.

You No Longer Have A Label, But You Do Have A Ticket
Author: Tama J. Kieves

When I first dropped out of my lawyer life, I sometimes walked downtown on weekdays like some wayward ghost haunting a former territory. Id stare at the office high-rises with fountains gushing in plazas and geometric murals in cool lobbies. Then Id gaze in the windows of trendy boutiques dangling smart black leather bags, silk shirts, tweed blazers, the fashion of validity. I found myself envious of the women, like the woman I used to be, who could sit at outdoor cafes sipping iced tea in the easy security of a crowd just like them. They ate Cobb salads, wore linen suits, and consulted their bulky daytimers just bulging with appointments. After lunch, they rushed back to meetings, matters, and materiality, smart black leather bags by their side.

Writing An Accomplishment Driven Rsum
Author: Heather Eagar, CPRW

In the midst of hundreds, if not thousands, of rsums recruiters and employers receive for any given position, your rsum needs to stand out from the crowd. You must make the Hiring Manager want to read your rsum more thoroughly than just the rudimentary 10-20 seconds the vast majority of your competition will warrant. The way to do this is by designing an accomplishment driven rsum.

Work Ethic
Author: Sylvia Henderson

Otherwise called a Protestant work ethic, a Google of the term work ethic yields a definition at Answers.com that reads, A view of life that promotes hard work and self-discipline as a means to material prosperity. It is called Protestant because some Protestant groups believe that such prosperity is a sign of God's grace. Whatever your faith (if any), and whatever your belief in a god (if any), the term work ethic extends beyond its faith-based origin into a generally accepted concept defining ones attitude towards work and life.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What Is Your Greatest Weakness?
Author: Linda Matias

The fastest way to make a good interview go bad is to avoid questions posed by the hiring manager. The one question candidates love to avoid is, "What is your greatest weakness?" Most candidates are quick to respond with superficial answers such as "I'm a workaholic" or "I'm a perfectionist." Not only are those responses boring, but they are also predictable answers interviewers are used to hearing. So much so that an interviewer's comeback line often is, "That doesn't sound like a weakness. Now why don't you tell me about a real weakness?"


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is Failure Anyway?
Author: Nan S. Russell

Does it surprise you that only 400 cokes were sold the first year; Albert Einstein's Ph.D. dissertation was rejected; Henry Ford had two bankruptcies before his famous success; or Ulysses S. Grant was working as a handyman, written off as a failure, eight years before becoming President of the United States?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is Experience Anyway?
Author: Nan S. Russell

I learned in first grade that one plus one equals two. But, that's not the right equation when counting work experience. We often think we're building experience to help us get ahead. In reality, we're passing time. Ten years working like a cloned Bill Murray in Groundhog Day is not ten years worth of experience. Doing the same thing again and again yields an experience formula more like: ten times one equals one.

If you've chosen a business career, you will inevitably experience some type of setback. And whether your pet project is canceled, your performance review is a bust, you get turned down for a promotion, or you're asked to leave the company, setbacks hurt big time. Nevertheless, if you start thinking of yourself as a victim or allow yourself to lapse into prolonged negativity, you won't be hurting anyone except yourself. Worrying until you get sick, abusing drugs or denying that you've reached an impasse won't help either. The best strategy for making a comeback is to recognize the reality of the situation, acknowledge your feelings and find a way to cope productively. Here are some other tips you might find helpful:

Winds are measured using an anemometer for speed and weather vanes or socks give the direction. Rain and snow gauges allow us to find out how much precipitation has fallen.

In todays business climate, corporate scandals, downsizing, mergers, bankruptcies major changes are extremely common. Companies are forced to implement changes in an effort to grow and survive.

In order to brace for growing competition and technological innovation necessitates the capability to make urgent adjustments so not to lose the leading edge and enhance market competitiveness. In the face of these issues, many employees fear losing their jobs while others are transferred to unfamiliar positions within their companies.

Author: Jon Snodgrass, Ph.D.

Work that is not satisfying reflects a basic conflict you have with yourself in your mind. It is not your career that causes the conflict, but the conflict that causes the work dissatisfaction. The causal direction is from the inside to the outside but not usually thought to be in this order. If you do not realize the psychological basis of the dissatisfaction, you may try to correct it by an external change of careers. Not only will you not fix it, but it will reappear in whatever work you chose to do next.

Abusing the Market
Author: Sam Vaknin

Even the most devout proponents of free marketry and hidden hand theories acknowledge the existence of market failures, market imperfections and inefficiencies in the allocation of economic resources. Some of these are the results of structural problems, others of an accumulation of historical liabilities. But, strikingly, some of the inefficiencies are the direct outcomes of the activities of non bona fide? market participants. These players?(individuals, corporations, even larger economic bodies, such as states) act either irrationally or egotistically (too rationally).

The Chicken or the Egg?
Author: Nan S. Russell

Even before I checked my calendar on Monday morning, I knew the appointment would be there. Passed over for promotion again, Ralph wanted specifics on why I hadn't chosen him for the position. This was not a new conversation. I thought of Ralph as my chicken and egg dilemma. Ralph was the chicken. He believed he would make a great Team Leader, and when I promoted him, he would step up and show me he how well he could lead. My position was that of egg. Prove to me you have leadership skills by demonstrating leadership in the job you have now, and I'll consider giving you the next position.

Author: Julie Fuimano, Success Coach

Branding is a term used as a marketing technique to identify a product, service or organization in a particular way.

The Authentic Career
Author: Maggie Craddock

Money is one of the most emotional topics in our culture today. Credit card companies, brokerage firms, and professional financial planners devote millions of dollars to providing clients with spreadsheets tracking everything from the asset allocation of their investments to the history of their spending habits to help them make logical investment decisions. The irony is that there is little that is logical about many peoples relationship with money. Money taps into our fantasies about pleasure and power - and into our most primal drives for safety and security.

The Art of Prioritizing
Author: Julie Fuimano, Success Coach

Theres an art to getting things done without creating a stressful environment. When you find yourself with too many things to do and not enough time to do them, stress rises. And at times, panic can set in. Instead of trying to schedule it all in, take some time to identify your priorities. Then, focus your energies on what matters most. By modifying the amount and type of things you do, you experience more pleasure in your work, less stress, and more personal satisfaction. Prioritizing effectively is imperative to growth - for organizations and for individual development. When you prioritize, you eliminate the stress that comes from being disorganized and overwhelmed and you move forward in the direction you want to go in your life and with your career.

Sweeping Up Worms
Author: Nan S. Russell

With the opening of a new venture and numerous reporters arriving in an hour, it felt like one of those "chickens with heads off" days. We were close, but not ready. So like locusts to a wheat field, a swarm of people were devouring the last minute details. Then, it rained. With rain, came worms, hundreds washing onto the entrance sidewalk. When I returned to the area, I found a manager, several department supervisors and a director outside with brooms, sweeping up worms. No one asked them to sweep worms. But, with guests arriving shortly and no one else available, they found brooms and started sweeping.

So, Why Don't You Tell Me About Yourself
Author: Linda Matias

"So, why don't you tell me about yourself?" is the most frequently asked interview question. It's a question that most interviewees expect and the one they have the most difficulty answering. Though one could answer this open- ended question in a myriad of ways, the key to answering this question or any other interview question is to offer a response that supports your career objective. This means that you shouldn't respond with comments about your hobbies, spouse, or extra curricular activities. Trust me, interviewers aren't interested.

Shades of Grey
Author: Nan S. Russell

A paperweight sits on my desk, etched in silver the message: "Life isn't always black and white." It serves as a reminder there are few absolutes at work (or in life). Yet, it would be easier if there were; if good ideas from bad, trustworthy people from non-trustworthy, and right paths from the wrong ones could easily be discerned. I've learned in twenty years in management that increasing one's perspective increases the grey, as words like always and never become obsolete for describing most situations and most people.

Seven Habits of Highly Successful Job Seekers
Author: Linda Matias

In the job search craze, there are those who land a job right away and those who struggle through the process of finding one for a long time. Luck is usually the response one hears from disenfranchised job seekers when they find out that their neighbor down the street was offered a position after only a two-week search. With many job seekers vying for only a few open positions, the truth is that luck rarely has anything to do with it.

Seasons of a Career: Springtime!

When we're struggling with a career, or settling into an unfamiliar new residence, we're most likely to think of winter: cold, bleak and endless. At some point any life transition feels like being buried under a coat of ice, hibernating through long, dark days. Hopefully we learn to see the beauty of winter -- sun on the snow, clear air, the bare outlines of trees denied their leafy cover-ups.

Searching for a job can be a daunting and confusing task for anyone, whether he or she is just entering the job market, looking for a better job or find him or herself without a job after several years with one employer. A job search can be successful when the person looking for a job knows exactly what they should and should not do when looking for a new job. Once a person has located a job that they desire, the applicant needs to get their resume ready and avoid the most common mistakes that job seekers make while looking for a job.

Resume Cover Letter
Author: Dax Cheng

A resume cover letter is a letter accompanying your resume in job application. It is a very influential tool to get an interview. Since the average job opening usually gets around 200 applications of more, the hiring personnel will usually shortlist the applications. The applications without any letter are the first ones to go. The logic is that if you are too lazy to write one, youll be too lazy to work.

It is commonly believed myth that personality testing instruments can measure your personality and predict your future behaviors.

Author: Cecile Peterkin, International Career Coach

Branding is a process started by large corporations like Nike as part of a marketing strategy in the 1980's. It is a concept which had them selling their customers an image and an idea. Soon, along with the pair of running shoes you were buying, you were also buying into the concept, and "just doing it"; and your Bell telephone service isn't just about a tool, it's about the way we are all connected. Advertising has become less about the product and more about the feeling the company wants you to associate with what they sell.

Market Your Way to Professional Success - By Joanne Victoria




Its never too early to start saying thanks to your clients, vendors and referral sources for what they contribute to your business or practice. Everyone loves to be appreciated and acknowledged, so start now and do something every month.

Keep in contact with your clients and vendors by sending articles you have written or that would be of interest to them. Add a little "How are you?" note to these people and keep the lines of communication open. Include current information about any new value-added products or services, such as a newsletter, or tele-class you will be presenting.

Marketing your way to success doesnt have to be expensive. You just have to do it.

Communication and relationship are the keys to marketing. Attending numerous networking meetings may be worthwhile to some, but that strategy doesn't work for everyone because, as someone once told me, the people who love you will always refer business to you.

Create a list of Advocates, or supporters, who will think of you first when it comes time for your special area of expertise. This list could be up to, but certainly no more than, twenty-five people.

You could also have a separate organizational list, such as companies where there is more than one person you know.

The people who are your Advocates or supporters are the ones who require nurturing. Send them an e-mail, e-zine, note, or article at least once a month.

Create an external management team to help you achieve your success. This could include your attorney, your own mentor or consultant, your accountant and other like minded people who you can trust. This is the key, people you trust to tell you the truth

Gather your external management teams in an informal meeting such as breakfast or lunch. Advise them of your upcoming plans, get feedback and give acknowledgement for all their support and advice.

Check in with former clients to see how they are doing. Be willing to provide free information to these people. Generosity is its own reward. If you keep a timer on your desk, you can be sure of keeping the conversation brief as well as focused. Then, send them more information. Follow up in about two weeks to see how the seeds of your generosity have blossomed.

Information is available to everyone, through the internet, magazines and newspapers. Only you can provide customized data to your clients that will be appreciated as well as remembered.

Review your brochures, marketing letters, and newsletters in a new light. Does this information speak to your"Ideal Client"? Do you know who your "Ideal Client" is? Redefine these documents as needed after you have thoroughly defined this client. Give these documents to your management team and get their feedback.

Does your collateral material speak to what you do? Is the information clear or does it require interpretation? Spend time on this now and review it every ninety days.

If the cost of a new brochure is prohibitive, or if you think your business will be adding more products or services in the near future, create an Information Letter.With this type of document, you can update your Advocate groups as well as former and potential clients. Again, its not costly and serves a specific purpose.

This letter can include updates on your particular industry or market. You also can advise them of your continuing education and how it will benefit them.

About those referral sources, they deserve a little extra attention. Remember, they thought of you first! Consider seasonal flowers, plants, a book or a special card.

You want them to keep remembering you! Nurture all these relationships and your business will grow and glow.

You want them to keep remembering you! Nurture all these relationships and your business will grow and glow.

Market Your Way to Professional Success - By Joanne Victoria




Its never too early to start saying thanks to your clients, vendors and referral sources for what they contribute to your business or practice. Everyone loves to be appreciated and acknowledged, so start now and do something every month.

Keep in contact with your clients and vendors by sending articles you have written or that would be of interest to them. Add a little "How are you?" note to these people and keep the lines of communication open. Include current information about any new value-added products or services, such as a newsletter, or tele-class you will be presenting.

Marketing your way to success doesnt have to be expensive. You just have to do it.

Communication and relationship are the keys to marketing. Attending numerous networking meetings may be worthwhile to some, but that strategy doesn't work for everyone because, as someone once told me, the people who love you will always refer business to you.

Create a list of Advocates, or supporters, who will think of you first when it comes time for your special area of expertise. This list could be up to, but certainly no more than, twenty-five people.

You could also have a separate organizational list, such as companies where there is more than one person you know.

The people who are your Advocates or supporters are the ones who require nurturing. Send them an e-mail, e-zine, note, or article at least once a month.

Create an external management team to help you achieve your success. This could include your attorney, your own mentor or consultant, your accountant and other like minded people who you can trust. This is the key, people you trust to tell you the truth

Gather your external management teams in an informal meeting such as breakfast or lunch. Advise them of your upcoming plans, get feedback and give acknowledgement for all their support and advice.

Check in with former clients to see how they are doing. Be willing to provide free information to these people. Generosity is its own reward. If you keep a timer on your desk, you can be sure of keeping the conversation brief as well as focused. Then, send them more information. Follow up in about two weeks to see how the seeds of your generosity have blossomed.

If you would converse with me, said Francois Voltaire, first define your terms.

Love Your Way to Success
Author: Hershey Wier, MBA

One of the most important things I learned back in business school was that promotions often don`t depend on one`s job skills, but on interpersonal skills. It was impressed upon us that an employee could have the best skills in the department, but if he/she could not get work done through people, cooperate with people, then that employee could be going nowhere fast, in spite of wonderful skills.

Learn Faster; Change is Coming
Author: Daniel Sitter

Challenges posed by recent economic and market shifts, though predicted for some time, have instigated chaos in the lives of many business professionals and factory workers alike, not to mention just about everyone else who is paying attention. Instead of embracing change and allowing it to fuel creativity and activity, many people allow the very thought of it to cripple them through fear, indecision and inactivity.

Knowing and Guessing
Author: Nan S. Russell

The line between average and exceptional work performance is dotted with ordinary day-by-day behaviors. I was reminded of that line recently. My husband was explaining to a nurse how he'd inadvertently taken the last dose of the live typhoid virus on the wrong day and wondered if he needed to retake the sequence prior to our Africa trip. "No," she commented, "I think you'll be fine." We both knew she was guessing.

Kill the Hype
Author: Nan S. Russell

She was waiting for me when I returned from a meeting. Standing outside my office door, I could tell by her downward glance, Jodie was not there to give me good news on the project. Despite her confident, enthusiastic and definitive style, she failed to deliver what she had pitched. It was not the first time.

Keep Good Company
Author: graham and julie

Do you have the courage to reach your goals? Do you have the courage to succeed? Do you have the courage to mix with the people who can change your life. Do you have the courage to walk away from those who keep you in your place? If you really want to change your lifestyle and become successful one of the major keys is simply: keep good company.

Job Skills 101
Author: Ted DeCorte, M.A.

Once upon a time, bank tellers counted money, bookkeepers kept track of figures, and secretaries typed letters. An employee's job duties were narrowly defined, and decisions were left to those "higher up." THAT WAS THE PAST. Today, employers demand that employees broaden their workplace experiences and acquire a good, working knowledge of a wide range of skills. To achieve these skills, business people have relied on our educational systems, and when those have fallen short, they have developed "in-house" training programs. What do employers expect from their employees? A study by the U.S. Department of Labor and the American Society for Training and Development identified seven skills groups needed by employees for workplace success in the 1990's and beyond . Here we go. What employers want from their employees:

Job Interview Preparation - What Employers Are Looking For

When an employer decides to conduct an interview with you, there are certain things that they are looking for from you. Naturally, you are likely to focus on these things during an interview, but you should remember all of the tips in this manual because following those tips is what is going to make the employers see all of those things in you.

It's Time For Some Steak
Author: Leila Johnson

Recently, I was reviewing our website statistics. One of the sites that had a link to mine caught me by surprise. Since this is a family publication, I wont include the name of the website. But, lets just say it contains a four-letter word that people do not use in most business circles.

It Takes Time
Author: Nan S. Russell

The story goes that after one of Ludwig van Beethoven's performances, several people were offering him their congratulations, when one woman commented, "I wish God had bestowed me with such genius." "It isn't genius, madam, nor is it magic." Beethoven replied. "All you have to do is practice on your piano eight hours a day for 40 years."

It May Be Time to Walk in an Employer's Shoes
Author: Linda Matias

If you are in a job search and arent receiving viable hits, its time to walk a mile in an employers shoes. Okay, I realize what you may be thinking. For just one day, you would like an employer to walk in your shoes so they can be sympathetic to the stresses you are going through on a daily basis. That makes sense, since what most of us want is to be understood by others.

Is your lifes purpose for sale? There is no purpose too big or too small
Author: Craig Nathanson

Meet Joe. Hes a middle-aged bridge toll-taker in the San Francisco Bay Area. In a recent interview, Joe said he loves the role he has filled for the last 12 years. The job suits his purpose. He said: If I can help someone start their day off right in the few seconds when they are handing me [the toll], I feel I have made a difference in the day and life of another person.

Intuition: The Secret to Your Career Success
Author: Michelle L. Casto

For far too long, we moderns have relied on our analytical/logical brain to make important life decisions. It is my belief that our imaginative/creative brain holds the key to better, smarter and more soulful decisions. This is because the right side of the brain, which loves creativity---taps into your intuitive nature. Take your career for instance. How could following your intuition make you more successful? Because you will be following your true internal compass---one that leads you to the best career and a more fulfilled life.

Why Most People Will Never Reach Their Goals!
Author: Carole Nicolaides

Customer service is the foundation on which businesses are created. Unless you understand your customers and treat them with respect, you will go out of business. That is a well-known fact. However, too often leaders fail to see that creating high quality products, or delivering excellent services is dependant on people, not corporations. Individuals within your firm must be treated well and managers must be instilled with a caring attitude toward others in order for your business to function at its maximum potential. How can we expect our people to give customers good service if they are not given that from us - their leaders?

Informational interviews your gateway to the inside scoop
Author: Brenda Koritko

The best way to gather the whole story about the industry and job you are targeting is by setting up informational interviews with individuals working where you plan to be positioned. Engaging in informational interviews will help you to gain valuable information about careers in your field and expand your network at the same time. The key difference between informational interviews and job interviews is that you have more control over the agenda when you schedule an informational interview.

Industry Pro Interview: Branding - Turning Your Customers Into Evangelists
Author: Karon Thackston

When you say the word branding, most people think USP (unique selling proposition). However a USP is far from the equivalent of a brand as were about to find out. What is branding? Is it just for big boys? And how the heck do you create one, anyway?

Increasing your ROI
Author: Nan S. Russell

All requests are not equal; all customers or clients are not equal; all to-do-list tasks are not equal; all work responsibilities are not equal. You can do fifty things today and get little, if any, return on your investment for having done them. Or you can do one or two things which have a large return.

In your transition zone? Beware intuition meltdown!
Author: Cathy Goodwin, Ph.D.

Have you ever had a bad day, when everything went wrong from the moment the alarm didn't go off, your ten-minute commute grew to forty minutes while you waited for someone to fix the road, and you couldn't find the notes you needed for a meeting? On those days you are also likely to collect traffic tickets, insults and stray dogs.

How to Win the Hearts of your Customers and Friends (The Secret of Making People Really Like You)
Author: Debby Sibert

Those of us doing business over the internet have to become especially adept at our listening and speaking skills since we don't have the luxury of talking with our customers face to face. It's especially important to give those on the phone extra attention - listening to their voice, because that is the only thing you have to go on, to sense their emotion. You can't observe their body language or their eyes like you can in person. They have the same limitations in listening to us. A great method to use when talking on the phone to come across as being really interested is to raise your eyebrows and smile as you talk. It will give you voice a lift. Try it on one your friends. It really works. It makes you sound very cheerful, etc. The thing is, they can't see you either, so you have to work a bit harder to let them know that you're really with them. They can't see you smile, so they have to hear the warmth of your heart through your voice. If you practice, it'll start to come naturally to you.

How To Tell Your Success Story
Author: Ke o agile Khiba

I am just taking a moment to write because I came across your site on the internet while researching the legality of mail order bride services. I am not going to tell you anything you do not already know. You must realize that the only reason males look for brides from impoverished nations is because these are the only women who are desperate enough to pretend to care about you. If these mail order brides from Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, etc. were financially independent, or had any options in their home countries, they would not even give you the time of day. You have struck out with American women because you have nothing to offer. I'm not speaking about monetary wealth here; I'm saying you have no good qualities at all. Surprise! Did it ever occur to you that the things you look for in a woman might be similar to the qualities that women look for in men? (That is, women who have options). Kindness, intelligence, sense of humor, morality - these are all desirable qualities, none of which have anyth

How to attract - not attack - your next career
Author: Cathy Goodwin, Ph.D.

Very few people change careers by the book: listing their strengths, identifying options and aggressively pursuing choices.

It is when the going gets better, that the going gets tough. This enigmatic sentence bears explanation : when a firm is in dire straits, in the throes of a crisis, or is a loss maker ?conflicts between the shareholders (partners) are rare. When a company is in the start-up phase, conducting research and development and fighting for its continued, profitable survival in the midst of a massive investment cycle ?rarely will internal strife arise and threaten its existence. It is when the company turns a profit, when there is cash in the till ?that, typically, all manner of grievances, complaints and demands arise. The internecine conflicts are especially acute where the ownership is divided equally. It is more accentuated when one of the partners feels that he is contributing more to the business, either because of his unique talents or because of his professional experience, contacts or due to the size of his initial investments (and the other partner does not share his views).

Dividing the Loot
Author: Sam Vaknin

Even in modern times, in most cases husbands and wives differ in their potential for acquiring property. In separation of property, husbands and wives owning property and dealing with each other will be in the same position as unmarried adults. There are, however, grounds for distinguishing marital property questions from ordinary property questions, because persons who cohabit on a domestic basis share a common standard of living and usually also the benefits of each other's property. A major element in many marriages is the raising of children, and the traditional female role, requiring her full-time presence in the home, places the married woman at a disadvantage so far as earning money and acquiring property are concerned. It is inconsistent of society to encourage a woman to take the domestic role of wife and mother, with its lower money and property potential, but in property matters to treat her as if she were a single person. It is also inconsistent to place upon the husband the sole responsibility f

The team environment has been transformed from one of true collaboration, honest dialogue and a commitment to problem solving to one where backstabbing, finger pointing and plain fear are the norms.

Comparing Corporate and Personal goal attainment programs that have developed over thousands of years with those of modern day legends such as Covey - The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Author: Dr. Jason Armstrong

In the 1990s Stephen Coveys name became famous through the publication of the The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. As many know the 7 habits are not a group of new concepts but age-old approaches to success represented in a way that can be clearly applied to modern day personal and corporate development. These precepts are taught in a number of ancient development, and achievement arts which have been practiced for thousands of years. Although many of these concepts have been lost and misinterpreted, they exist and can be translated in non-extreme forms, from such arts as: Zen (which is not a religion, but a path for self discovery and growth), the Art of War by Sun Tzu (the classic text on strategy which is often regarded as the most definitive text on the topic), and the Tao de Ching (the book of change).

Book Excerpt: OUtwitting the Job Market
Author: Chandra Prasad

What do interviewers really want in job candidates? The answer may be different for every hiring manager. But first-time job hunters may be surprised by how simple their wish lists are. We asked hiring managers from a variety of industries to share what they look for in candidates.

Blowing Your Own Leadership Horn
Author: Brent Filson

There are two streams of competitiveness running through every organization. The first goes outward: It's the organization's competitive activities toward its competitors. The second goes inward: It's the competitiveness of leaders inside the organization who are vying against one another for power, recognition, privilege and promotion.

Be an Entrepreneur
Author: Michelle L. Casto

The Department of Labor predicts that the #1 employer in 2010 will be self. A recent Internet poll of 25-44 year olds revealed that 90% of them hoped to own their own business. A survey conducted by Ernst & Young found that 75% of influential Americans believe that entrepreneurship will be the defining trend of the 21st century. Some of the factors that have attributed to the rise of the modern day entrepreneurial spirit are access to technology, a global economy, and corporate stagnation.

Baby Boomers' Phased Retirement
Author: John G. Agno

A greater percentage of those over 55 are working today than a year ago. In part, because older workers are prized for their corporate experience, personal relationships and stability. "Any time you have an early retirement program and have to make it widely available, you chance losing key talent," says Craig Reynolds, corporate director of employee benefits at Briggs & Stratton, the world's largest producer of 3 to 25 horsepower air-cooled gasoline engines.

Avoid a Three-ring Circus with These New Interviewing Strategies
Author: Teena Rose

I referenced the circus because I just finished another interviewing book that recommends asking for the job before leaving the interview. I can envision up to 15 qualified professionals each asking the interviewer for the job. If each asks for the job, doesnt that make the question null and void cross out each others great gesture? If everyone jumps through the same hoop, performing like a good little circus monkey, whats going to set you apart from other candidates?

AUTHENTIC SPIRIT _ SUCCESS THE AUTHENTIC WAY!
Author: Jane Miller www.authenticspirit.net

I own a stack of self improvement books ten feet tall. Achievement seminars I've attended number in the dozens. I had been trying to improve myself since the second grade when Mrs. H. burst my young bubble. Although I went on to fourteen more years as a star pupil, I never forgot the way she made me feel - not good enough. And through the years whenever a co-worker, boss, or customer questioned my motives or integrity, I felt those same feelings - of being not good enough. So what went wrong with my self improvement stint? I tried dutifully to follow the advice in all those books and workshops, showing me what to do and how to be. But, time after time, I failed.

Are You Seeing a Vision?
Author: Caterina Rando

As we look at bringing your business to the next level, I ask you a very important question: do you have a vision-a Technicolor snapshot in your mind of what your ideal life looks like? If not, create one. Not a goal; goals come later. Visions are more powerful than goals because visions have an emotional component. When you see a picture, it evokes emotion-involving your heart, not just your head. This is far more powerful than only writing down an idea.

Are You Doing Something You Love Each and Every Day?
Author: Stacey Mayo

It is easy to get caught up in the day-to-day stress of everyday life: deadlines to meet, schedules to keep, unexpected expenses, conflicts to resolve, illness of loved ones, to name a few. Amidst all this, it is easy to for me to lose sight of why I do what I do - my purpose for being. I discovered my passion and my purpose over seven years ago. It was the catalyst for starting my business, The Center for Balanced Living in 1996. It is what led me to my purpose which is to empower you to live out your dreams with ease and abundance. Sometimes I get caught up in the external factors and forget to focus on what is really important. It is then that I must remind myself why I am here. It is a grounding place for me.

Animal Lovers Have an Abundance of Career Choices
Author: Paula Fitzsimmons

Lots of people -- and you may be one of them -- would like a career involving animals. For one reason or another, they put their dreams aside, often in the belief that their choices are limited. Veterinarian and zookeeper are two of the animal-related professions that often come to mind. But not everyone has the desire to go through over four years of grueling veterinary training, or to compete with large numbers of overqualified applicants for the privilege of cleaning zoo poop.

When you feel lost and confused, it is easy to give your power to anyone who appears on your doorstep -- a coach, a counselor, even a good friend or relative. People in transition, who are seeking direction, are especially vulnerable to anyone who offers help. The US government has developed programs to protect newly-bereaved citizens who are vulnerable to claims from funeral services.

Abusing the Market
Author: Sam Vaknin

Even the most devout proponents of free marketry and hidden hand theories acknowledge the existence of market failures, market imperfections and inefficiencies in the allocation of economic resources. Some of these are the results of structural problems, others of an accumulation of historical liabilities. But, strikingly, some of the inefficiencies are the direct outcomes of the activities of non bona fide? market participants. These players?(individuals, corporations, even larger economic bodies, such as states) act either irrationally or egotistically (too rationally).

A Sense of Humor in the Workplace ... Is it me? Or, was that not funny?
Author: Edward B. Toupin

When I was first initiated into Corporate America, I had a sense of humor that went unmatched by any mortal soul. I was quick-witted, smart, sharp, and knew every gag and joke available to humanity. Most of it, I learned in college. But, college never really did teach the fact that having a sense of humor in the workplace is different than 'jocularity.' After a few brushes with career-chaos, I realized that the definition of 'corporate humor' deals with how one handles oneself and not how one can elicit laughter.

A Matter of Thought
Author: Julie Fuimano, Success Coach

It has been echoed through the ages that what we think about is what we bring about and our thoughts actually create our reality. James Allens book, As A Man Thinketh was written in the late 19th century to communicate this concept at great length. Steven Covey calls it the first creation, meaning that we first create things in our mind and then we create them in reality. If thats the case, then what are you doing to protect yourself from your own thoughts? If what you think about impacts how you live your life, are you using your thoughts to consciously drive your success or are you at their mercy?

A Bit of Pollyanna
Author: Nan S. Russell

"Stop being such a Pollyanna," a trusted, more experienced colleague counseled as we took the long route back to my office. He had just witnessed my project idea annihilated as co-workers eagerly argued why my idea wouldn't work, where it was flawed and why it shouldn't be funded. Despite naysayers in the room that day, I believed it was worth pursuing. Ultimately, it did receive funding and became, in time, a successful endeavor. A bit of Pollyannaism got me though.

A 21-step Path to Discover and Do What You Love with Your Lifes Work
Author: Craig Nathanson

In mid-life, many of us are unfulfilled in our lives and careers. We have a deep longing for change. We often feel that weve waited too long to pursue our dreams, and believe that we have no choice but to settle for our current lot in life. Choosing how to fill such a deep void is no small task. There is no shortage of expert advice from professionals, family, and friends about what to do about the work dilemma. Sometimes, the advice is good. But too much of it is based on the needs of the person giving the advice, and not what is best for you.
