Why am I still so fond of Mrs. Mann, and how can you benefit from her wisdom?
Author: Marc Wiltse

At the moment, the bits and pieces that are coming to me are about 15 other kids and myself sitting in a circle playing "Doggy, doggy, where's your bone?", making make-believe boats out of card-board brick blocks, and taking naps on the sailboat blanket mom had hand-stitched my name on with thick white yarn.

When You Wish Upon A Star!
Author: Andrew Wood

I recently overheard a group of four young golf pros talking about what it takes to be a champion. As it happens, the discussion was not limited to golf. They were talking in more general terms. Who are the people destined to make it to the top in golf, in business or in life? What is it, these young players wondered, that makes it possible for an otherwise average person to raise his performance to championship levels? What determines who will be the ones to shoot in the 60s, lead the sales figures, head up major corporations and generally live life on their own terms?

When you come to the fork in the road, take it!

When Writing Your Goals, Do What Works for You

As a personal coach who assists people in defining their vision and purpose in life, I am often asked whether it is better to write down your goals by hand or to use a word processor on the computer

What's Important in Choosing Your Career
Author: Jay Earley, Ph.D.

There are many different criteria that people use in choosing a certain job or career--security, recognition, power, life purpose, and others. If you happen to be in serious financial difficulty or on the edge of being out on the street, you choose a job for survival reason--whatever will pay the bills. Most people choose a career partly for the financial security it can provide or the enhanced standard of living. These choices are completely valid, but people often find that if they stay in a job that pays well but doesn't provide anything else, they end up disappointed and frustrated. They also need work that is enjoyable and challenging. Be careful that you don't get used to a high paying job and a pricey standard of living which then rules out career choices that would be more satisfying.

What You Focus Your Attention on Is What You Get!
Author: Laura Howard, Life and Career Coach

Cheryl Richardson, a favorite author and fellow coach, has written a new book called "Stand Up for Your Life". In this book she talks about how our society tends to "bond over stress instead of success". I see this in action every day in my own life and in the lives of my clients.

What would you do if you could change your life right now?
Author: Nicholas Dixon

Hello everybody and a good day (or night !) to you all.My name is Nicholas Dixon and I am in my early twenties and I reside on the beautiful island of Jamaica.I work full time in a public library , but in my spare time I design and market websites.I personally think that it is fun to help my fellow brother or sister to get what they want out of this life.

What to do when you realize you've been going in the wrong direction
Author: Lee Harris

With age comes wisdom and so as we mature and begin to look back on our lives, we see that every juncture was an opportunity to choose an outcome. The choices that we made culminate into the life we are presently living. For better or worse, with intention, or not we were at the helm when the ship finally pulled in the port. So many of the choices I made were short-sighted and callow but I cannot fault myself; the wisdom of the ages was not mine to draw from and so I did what I thought was in by best interest at the time. My first response to that realization was to grieve and my second response was to curse myself. My life is not squalid by any means, perhaps to some it is even admirable but I know that I have to capacity within me to do far greater things than I had done in the past. I know this now; but then, I did not and so my choices reflected a self-imposed and self-accepted limitation that was bequeathed to me in an agreement between an uninformed world and myself.

What Motivates You...Fear or Fun?
Author: Clifford Kuhn, M.D.

What if medicine and spirituality could converge and give you more freedom? I'd certainly want that! But why aren’t we more free? It is fear that restricts and imprisons us. And such restrictions are neither medically nor spiritually healthy.

What is coaching?
Author: James Olson-Murphy

Simply put, people want more out of life. A quality of life, if you will. They are turning to external sources namely coaches, to assist them in achieving their personal goals and outcomes. Coaches have ventured beyond the boardroom when selling their services. Individuals at all levels and walks of life are turning to this new wave of organizational and personal development. Coaching cannot however be construed as a fad or new age trend.

What Inspires You?
Author: Barbra White, MBA, Personal and Business Coach

Many of the people who hire me as their personal coach have decided they want to find more passion in what they do each day. They're no longer willing to settle for less than a totally fulfilling life, and they want this life now…in the present...rather than waiting for some future date, or for retirement. I love when I hear this kind of conviction in someone’s voice. It tells me they're ready to make some really great choices for themselves.

What in the World is Life Coaching?
Author: Cameron Powell

In my speaking engagements I have often compared coaching today to psychotherapy in the 1920s. The level of public understanding of coaching, outside of people in a certain socio-demographic category, is still in its infancy. We are all so saturated with the language of psychoanalysis - it’s difficult to read a book or watch a movie that isn’t premised on this shared language - that we probably don’t consider there was once a time when practitioners were asked:

What If I Fall Flat On My Face?
Author: Skye Thomas

I hope you do. Sounds awful, I know. But I really think the best thing that can happen to you is for you to take a timid little leap and fall flat on your face. Then, I want to see you get back up, evaluate what you did wrong, and jump again. Keep on taking that leap of faith and learning from each and every mistake until you become used to jumping and used to falling. Then, you'll get over the fear of falling and you'll finally begin to concentrate on flying. I want to see you run with everything you have and dive into your dreams with so much passion and fire that you forget all about the possibility of failing. You will never find your wings until you do.

What do you need to do to be successful?
Author: graham and julie

What do you need to do to be successful? If you are searching the net you may feel that you need to sign up for the latest affiliate marketing programme. Or perhaps you need to be a member of the latest MLM scheme. On the other hand it may be that you need to follow the directions of the latest web marketing guru. Each of theses routes give you the opportunity of being successful but without courage, zeal and enthusiasm you will join the ranks of the 80% plus who fail.

What CEOs, Celebs and Professional Athletes Have Taught Me
Author: Connie Scholl

During my years working as a massage therapist, I attracted many of America’s top CEOs, celebrities, and professional athletes as clients. After working with these successful people for several years, I became aware an interesting commonality among them. No, it wasn’t that they all had fame and fat paychecks (or an occasional tantrum). It was something much more profound. I noticed that this rather accomplished lot had a success strategy for preserving their natural power at any cost.

What Are Keywords And What The Heck Do You Do With Them?

We are called to a path of spiritual evolution
Author: Lee Harris

These days bring a certain amount of uncertainty and chaos. As we are forced to evolve, our resistance to change threatens our very progress as individuals, cultures, nations, and as a species. We somehow thought (because we are a thinking species) that we were exempt from the natural progression of life. We thought our emergence from the cave, the invention of fire, the industrial revolution, the information age were simply historical events. “Not so”, says the wise observer; they are the soul’s paths to evolution. They are the lessons we have learned as individuals and as a collective body. They represent the patterns of our own evolution.

Using The Law Of Vibration To Manifest Your Vision
Author: Asoka Selvarajah, Ph.D

Science and Metaphysics agree. The essence of all things is vibration. Science reveals that everything in the manifest universe is ultimately composed of packets of energy; quantized units vibrating at specific frequencies. Esoteric wisdom reveals that in the beginning, all things were created through sound (i.e. vibration); whether it be the "OM" of Eastern mysticism or the "Word"/Logos of Western spirituality.

Using Metaphorical Tools
Author: Niela Miller

In my coach supervision group, an ADD (attention deficit disorder) coach who has ADD and vision challenges made the statement "I can't see how to use drawing with my clients." The following exercise can be used by the coach for herself and with any client who tends to "interrupt" their movement toward a goal...which could be any of us!

Using a USP to Quickly Connect With Prospects
Author: Maria Marsala

The acronym USP (Unique Selling Proposition) was created by Rosser Reeves, marketing expert in the 1960's. Over time, his concept has been used by others, called different names by different individuals and pretty much has taken on a life of its own. You might know about this concept, but call it a Unique Selling Advantage (USA), Competitive Advantage, Elevator Speech or 30-Second Commercial. Dennis S. Vogel, Internet author, says, "The biggest words for each of them is UNIQUE!" One thing that seems to be consistent is that USPs work best when they're short and get your point across - fast! During a recent teleclass I attended, held by Jay Conrad Levinson, author of Guerilla Marketing Handbook, mentioned creating a 7 word USP.

Use Your Knowledge Skills To Improve Customer Service

We live in an increasingly service-oriented economy. A better phrase might be an “attention-oriented economy?

However, the key factor that seems to be misunderstood is applying the knowledge each of your employees has in order to develop relationships with your clients.

I've heard many clients and friends discuss how they just can't seem to move beyond their current situations in life. They can't find a better job, make more money, find happiness in relationships, or find fulfillment. The question I usually ask is, "What is your idea of the perfect, fulfilling situation?" They usually sputter a few ideas then stop and realize that they truly don't know what it is that would bring them fulfillment.

Thriving Through Major Life Changes
Author: Sharon Davis

1. Identify the payoffs and price of staying where you are. There are certainly good reasons you have for not already having made a transition. Do some soul searching with trusted allies or through journaling to uncover what payoffs you’re receiving for not making the change. At the same time, identify the price you are paying for maintaining the status quo. When your conscious mind gets that the price is greater than the payoff, you’ll be much clearer whether it’s in your best interest to keep things the same or to make a change.

Success is the only acceptable form of revenge. By forgiving your trespassers, you become free to concentrate on going forward with your life and succeeding in spite of your detractors. You will live a rewarding and fulfilling life.

THE SUCCESS SERIES
Author: Christine DeCorte

"High ideals, lofty goals, best laid plans, strict standards of excellence" . . . these are often the "buzz" words of people talking about success. Everybody talks a good game. Winners go out and DO something. "Good, loyal, committed, honest, tough, brave, confident, organized, competitive" . . . these could be used to describe a Winner. But lots of people who are all those things and more never break through to success. Of those adjectives, "competitive" is the only one that in its nature leads to action, and that's only if you're willing to compete. Some people use competition as an excuse not to do it. They say, "I just can't compete with those people, there's no use in trying." What keeps people from putting their plans into action? The big reason is: FEAR. It paralyzes, it saps your energy, it creates imaginary difficulties. Even when you're doing something you like to do, the fear of what you are putting off is always there in the back of your mind. In "Think and Grow Rich," Napoleon Hill said, "Do

The secret of your future depends on the departure from your past!
Author: Sheraun Britton-Parris

Rich, Famous, Successful. We all want it. But how many of us will actually do what it takes to attain wealth, fame and success? Well, given that most people are stuck in neutral - still wishing and dreaming of the day that they are financially independent enough to actually leave their 9 to 5, I’d venture to say that many people will continue to limit themselves (unconsciously of course) to the mediocrity of just making a living instead of the joy of designing their lives the way they want them to be.

I have found myself inspired to write on this topic on more than one occasion. All of us, at some point in our lives have felt the desperate inner turmoil and confusion that comes from feeling that we have been "wronged" or betrayed in some way. You fight to understand what is wrong with that person to have done such a thing, or to be such a way. You wonder what may be wrong with you …. Have I deserved such treatment? Am I just completely naïve? I am too trusting. I have loved too deeply, and now I am paying for it. The list of inner chatter goes on and on as we try to make sense of our lives.

We’ve learned the latest techniques, mental attitudes, and physiological response to get there. However, somewhere along the lines, we still fall through.

And he proudly informed me that ALL of his staff were TOTALLY empowered - all the way from the receptionist through to the salespeople and the managers. He smugly told me that they could do almost anything that they want to! Just after that comment he also insinuated that they were NOT DOING VERY MUCH with this empowerment. Why Not? We know - Because they lacked the “FLI” factor.

The Mindset of “Job Security” Can Be Killing Your Best Resource
Author: Carole Nicolaides

When it comes to managing knowledge, learning from past mistakes, and capitalizing on the hidden knowledge and the wisdom of people, organizations historically have not done that well. Instead of building human portals and mediums that connect and unite people, and creating safe environments that allow people to share freely what they know, more attention is given to building large database systems and other mediums that capture human knowledge. This difficult, yet important task of building a knowledge-sharing culture within companies is primarily given to the Information Technology departments, by far the least prone towards knowledge sharing. They are appointed as the primary players for this business initiative, and literally take over in creating the perfect knowledge sharing organization or at least a perfect system to facilitate knowledge capture.

As is common when faced with someone who is more successful, many of the regular Tour players decided Player was winning because he was luckier than they. Incidentally, this epithet would also be hung around the neck of Seve Ballesteros when he burst upon the tournament golf scene.

The Dennis Walters Story
Author: Andrew Wood

At 24, fresh out of college, Dennis Walters had all the traits of a champion. He had been dreaming big dreams since childhood, and he was ready to take action. That year, he had finished eleventh in the US Amateur Championship and had led his school to its fourth consecutive collegiate championship. His dream was to play on the PGA Tour and his future there looked bright. Then on July 21, 1974, a warm, sunny morning, just a few days before Qualifying School was to begin, Dennis was playing in a pro-am tournament at the Bonnie Brae Country Club in New Jersey. At the 18th hole his approach shot was plugged in a greenside trap, but Dennis played a fine explosion shot to three feet and saved his par. That shot would be the last competitive golf shot Dennis Walters would ever hit.

Ten Ways to Simplify Your Life

In this very fast paced world, it seems impossible to simplify our lives. But think about this, how much time and energy do you waste on the unnecessary? How much time do you waste because you can't find things? How much energy do you waste telling yourself all the things you should do? We often make life much more complicated than it needs to be and somehow we have convinced ourselves that our lives must be filled to max. We over schedule our lives, and then wonder why we feel dissatisfied. In turn, we end up spending the majority of our time on the things that don't matter to us. Here are some strategies to help you weed out the unnecessary and simplify, simplify, simplify.

These are the people from whom you learned the safest way to react to life situations. For each person in this family, you created a set of behaviours which best suited their way of interacting with you. When you go off to your job, you take this learned behaviour with you and apply the creative adjustments that worked within your family, to your bosses and co-workers. Depending on what you learned in your family-of-origin this course of action can be a smooth road or slippery slope.

To significantly change in our lives, our subconscious minds and our belief systems must change. As these changes occur, we find ourselves in a transition zone, a place of the unknown, the lull, the fog, the void, the dead space. It is like being between first and second base on unsafe and vulnerable ground. It is uncomfortable, new and often scary. Often we get fearful and go back to the old safe place on first base. And that's O.K., but at some point, we may want to leave the rut that was not working for us.

Success is one of those words that we all understand, or at first glance, we think we do. We hear that someone is a big success, and we nod in agreement and apparent understanding. But what is success? Webster defines success as reaching a conclusion, usually a fortunate one. OK, what is fortunate? Most of us correlate success with money. If someone has a lot of money we tend to think of them as successful. But if you’ve been around a few years you know that money doesn’t buy happiness. Money can make one’s life easier and that can eliminate many obstacles to happiness, but money itself brings little or no inherent joy. And joy is the trademark of success.

Personal Branding: Speak For Yourself: 10 Ways To Communicate Your Personal Brand
Author: William Arruda

Your personal Brand is your promise of value. It separates you from your peers, your colleagues, and your competitors. And it allows you to expand your success. Personal Branding is not about building a special image for the outside world; it is about understanding what is truly unique about you - your strengths, skills, values and passions - and using that to differentiate yourself and guide your career decisions. Achieving your professional goals requires understanding, nurturing, and, of course, communicating your unique personal Brand. Here are ten areas well worth considering when working to communicate your Brand.

Persistence
Author: Glen Hopkins

One of the keys to being successful in anything you do is persistence. Once you have determined exactly what it is you want to accomplish, you must take massive action on a consistent, persistent basis in order to succeed. Think of it like building a muscle. If you have never weight rained before, the first time you walk into a gym, chances are you will not be able to bench press 250 lbs. However, if you are persistent, and you consistently go back to the gym, you will find yourself getting stronger and closer to your goal with each and every visit. One of the things you’ll notice on your journey towards your goal, are roadblocks. That is, you will encounter obstacles that seem to jump out of nowhere in an attempt to halt your progress. Count on these obstacles. They are a part of life. Everyone would have every success they ever wanted if there were no obstacles. Your job is to be persistent and work through those obstacles. If you find little or no obstacles along the way, chances are you are not really cha

On Having A Mentor - A Lesson from Alexander The Great
Author: Asoka Selvarajah

It would seem that Alexander was a devoted reader of Homer's great epic poems, The Odyssey and the Iliad; particularly the latter. The Iliad deals with Ancient Greek ideals of hero, warfare and glory in the context of the war against the city of Troy. Alexander, it would seem, read these stories from an early age and imagined himself to be in the same line as the classic Greek heroes of yesteryear. He was quite obsessive about this poem epic and could recite large sections of it by heart. In fact, he had a special copy made for himself and took it with him on his exploits and conquests of two million square miles of the ancient world.

Oh Those Pesky Bad Habits, Part I
Author: Dr. Sharon House

One of the things I ask every new coaching client to examine is their everyday habits. Why? Basically because good habits strengthen and empower. Negative habits weaken and harm. While positive habits add to our lives, negative habits simply detract, derail and disempower us from truly living a quality life experience; physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. They are time wasters, energy "suckers" and affect us much more than we are consciously aware of.

She has lived in the same neighborhood all her life, yet has friends she corresponds with all over the country, she never learned how to drive, yet gets around twice as much as people half her age, she sometimes skips lunch but a day never passes that she doesn't enjoy some gourmet chocolate, and her whole life even in fancy restaurants she always eats her dessert first. When I have asked how she is she has smiled back and said, with asmirk in her upbeat voice" I can't complain, it doesn't do any good anyway". She is on the move living by her own rules, always looking forward never looking back.

Life be design; not by default
Author: Lee Harris

Imagine that right now, right here, today… there is within your grasp not one but several opportunities to redesign specific aspects of your life so that the sum total is a life you absolutely love. Then imagine that the only thing standing between you and your opportunities is a closed mind, fear, habits, concern, worry, drama, or perhaps mental, physical, and emotional clutter. Do you know what a default is? It’s what you get when you don’t choose to get something else and for most of us a default life is average and mediocre with sprinkles of joy in between. A default life is living for the weekend. A default like is hanging on ‘til retirement. A default life is waiting for the kids to grow up, move out, and finish college. A default life is waiting, and waiting, and waiting for things to get better someday…one day. Most people don’t accidentally have a great life, a great job, a great marriage, a great body, or great children. I don’t know about you but I am not touched, moved, or inspired by mediocrity.

What a weird question. Internet users are business people, teachers, students of all ages, housewives, ministers, all sorts of people. Are they lonely? There must be research somewhere to break people down by economic standing, social status, education, etc., but that is probably not needed to get an idea as to the nature of at least some of the Internet users. Think, for a moment, about people in your own circle of relationships. How many are Internet users and why? As you read this, think about people you know. Do you see any of them, or yourself, in any part of this story?

Inviting Success & Abundance Into Your Life
Author: Mary Beth Lang

1) In order to get what you want out of life you first have to know exactly what you want. One of the most necessary and difficult things you must do is to define success for yourself. Discard the "shoulds" and "coulds". Ignore the "voices" of your spouse, parents, and society. Based on your wants and values, what conditions must be present in your life for you to feel successful. This is where you'll find real desire and motivation.

In Search of Life Purpose
Author: Amit Bhatt

On July 6, 1946 a kid was born to a chorine and an Italian immigrant. A foreceps accident during his birth severed him paralyzed. He also suffered with rickets. At age 15, his parents' divorce, leaving him a homely, sickliest child. By this time, the kid had developed a passion to become a movie star. But the kid’s face and even his deep voice were factors in his constant rejection for stage and film roles. He was turned down for uncountable times. Rather than give up, however, he turned to writing scripts--lots of scripts. He penned the screenplay for Rocky and went to sell it to producers with a condition of he be the star in movie.

The Unknown - it is scary territory for many, something to be avoided for others and shameful for those who feel they are supposed to know everything. What is your relationship with the Unknown? Take a moment to ponder it because your attitude towards and experience of this is what governs your ability to create, to innovate and truly bring more of yourself out into the world - in short to be successful. If you are going to create something new in your life - in your career, your relationships and your creative endeavors you will be walking into unknown territory. Learning how to navigate this territory effectively and with power is what makes the difference between having a full, rich experience of life and work you enjoy, relishing the adventure of every day or living in frustration wondering why the same thing keeps occurring repeatedly.

Author: Dennis R. Kyle

Encourage and Expect Individual Accountability is a necessity in life as it is in business. I have yet to find a business professional, athlete, or parent who maintains a high level of integrity, honesty, and success without understanding this law. One of the most difficult things is to say, “I’m wrong?or take responsibility for misconduct

Embrace Rejection
Author: Caterina Rando, MA, MCC

The last two weeks I have been waiting for an answer from a potential client on a large piece of business. While playing the waiting game I have been thinking a lot about the sales process. I realized I have not been turned down much lately. Before I got too excited I also realized I had not been asking for the business much lately either. My excuse was I had been busy with speaking, coaching and writing assignments and had taken my attention off generating new business. Ask yourself, are you asking for the business often enough?

Do Your Employees Take Responsibility
Author: Bill McGrane

Getting FOUR employees to do the work of ONE is one of the easiest management jobs available, and one of the most common. No! That was not a typo.....Personal productivity is one of the most mismanaged areas within most organizations. Not because employees want to work at less than their capabilities, because THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RESULTS....YOU ARE! If you have employees that are working at 20% of their personal capacity, and you have accepted that as standard, then you are hiring at that standard. Because you are accepting less, less is happening...YOU ARE AFFECTING YOUR CASH FLOW!

Do You Think Or Are You Being Thought?
Author: Asoka Selvarajah, Ph.D

So much of what we do is governed by the opinions of others, or out of concern for what others might think. However, there is something much more pervasive going on. There is a process operating in the lives of all human beings called "social proofing" which basically means that we derive most of our social values, morals, imperatives and taboos from those around us. In a more universal sense, this is known as Entrainment.

Create Your Business Vision

Smart business owners and managers know that the key to business success is to strive for growth-oriented results that will challenge you and your employees to achieve more. We’re going to increase profits 20% in 90 days. We’re going to reduce our overhead costs by year’s end. We’re going to hire high-caliber, positive people for our new department. The list is endless. Yet in the quest for higher profits and increased customer satisfaction, many owners and managers put their big vision on the back burner in exchange for a short-term goal. As a result, their business stays the same year after year, with little indication of any growth at all. What went wrong?

Control Your Emotions and Reach the Top!
Author: Carole Nicolaides

Socrates knew it all along. If you want to succeed in life you must “know thyself.” This is the first step for everything and for anybody who wants to make a difference in his or her life. The ability to listen to our own emotions, wants, desires and needs is as important as listening to others. In addition, putting the understanding of your emotions (and those of others) into practice is equally important. There are times all of us want to lash out at our superiors or peers for violating our boundaries, not “getting it”, interfering with our projects, crossing the line, stepping behind our backs, taking advantage of our absence and simply playing the old and cold business game.

Co-Creation
Author: Molly Gordon

It occurred to me as I was driving up the highway to buy berries at a local farm that all creation is co-creation. I’d been musing about the difference between times of ease and forward momentum and times of struggle. At the risk of oversimplifying things (and keeping this week’s quotes firmly in mind), I suspect the difference can usually be found in whether or not I am aligning my intentions and energy with what might be variously termed "the flow," "circumstances," or even "God’s will."

It's who you are according to you. This is your personal contract, the core of what you are working towards, in your personal and professional life what you aspire to be. It gives focus and vision and a vehicle with which to move forward no matter what the circumstance.

Busyness is Not a Long-Term Health Plan

"I'm really busy right now, but it's a good busy." I heard these exact words quite a few times the first few weeks of the year. Every time I heard someone say it, it made me wonder what that really means. When I heard it from one person after another, I became quite curious. Although I knew that I was in a transition mode, and that I was happy about being less than busy, it still caused me to feel twinges of concern. I actually had moments when I became concerned about my lack of busyness - was even a little envious - and also wondered why so many people were saying the same exact thing. What did this mean?

Business and Self-Care
Author: Marguerite Tennier, M.A., Personal and Professional Coach

A couple of years ago, I heard someone say that the qualities which are necessary to succeed in business were of one kind, while those which are important in the realm of relationships were of another. Considering that the most (and don't forget, the longest) relationship we have is the one we have with ourselves, it may explain why business and professional people are often challenged when it comes to self-care. Don't mistake me. We (yes, I also find that as a business woman I must make a conscious effort not to fall into the trap) groom, and we go to the beauty salon, and the gym. We dress in nice, often expensive clothes. Some of us drive late model cars. The kind of self-care is am talking about refers to emotional, spiritual and physical self-care: an internal make over. All my business and professional clients show signs of being out of breath. Their lives are and have been for a while, a race.

Author: Anita Pathik Law, CFCC, MSMC

Let's face it, Human Beings want. And most us want a whole lot more than we need. Human needs, as defined by one of my greatest teachers of simple yet profound truths, Dr. William Glasser, fall into one of five main categories; Survival, Love and Belonging, Freedom, Power and Worth, and Fun/Pleasure. Most of us, if honest with ourselves, have the survival needs covered. The others we meet in a variety of ways, some healthy and some, well let's just say, NOT! (check out www.wglasser.com for more information) All behavior, Glasser taught, is completely driven by these needs.

Authentic Success 2 Part Two
Author: Lenny Ravich

In my first article "Authentic Success" Part One, I stated that the way to be truly successful is to be connected to the inner vibrations which say, "I MUST do this for my peace and happiness," and not I "should" do this or that because someone said it is the way to success. If your inner voice vibrates at a ten on a scale from one to ten, then it will be yours in time. Do it, with all the fears and monsters that will inevitably appear. If it is a seven or eight on a scale of one to ten, forget about it, even if your mother, your best friend, or that workshop facilitator told you in her seminar that you "ought to" do it.


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

Authentic Success
Author: Lenny Ravich

If you ask a thousand people what success is you'll get a thousand different answers. There is only one true "authentic success". That is when you go deep inside and ask yourself what you truly love. "What could I do that would give me energy, love, happiness, smiles, laughter and optimism and without it I would die?" That's the question you should be asking. Not, "How much money can I make?" If you do what you truly love and what you were meant to do, (your mission and purpose in life) money will flow to you. Trust me on that one.

Rowing backwards, the square stern of the boat pushes against the water, requiring more effort and increases the risk of having a wave come over the transom (back) and swamping it. Yet most people market backwards, trying to grow their business while pushing against the greatest level of resistance.

A Balanced Life
Author: Brian Tracy

According to psychologist Sidney Jourard, fully 85 percent of your happiness in life will come from your personal relationships. Your interactions and the time that you spend with the people you care about will be the major source of the pleasure, enjoyment and satisfaction that you derive daily. The other 15 percent of your happiness will come from your accomplishments. Unfortunately, many people lose sight of what is truly important, and they allow the tail to wag the dog. They sacrifice their relationships, their major source of happiness, to accomplish more in their careers. But one’s career, at best, can be only a minor source¾and a temporary one, at that¾of the happiness and satisfaction that everyone wants.
