Do you know what I think the Internet is? It's only a tool that we can use to get in contact with other people! It's not a money machine, it's not a fast path to millions and it's not an easy way to earn money! That's my opinion. Don't get me wrong I think the Internet is a great invention and I love it, but I just don't like the new trends that marketers are starting to create. I'm getting sick of SPAM and all the new "make a million overnight" programs that pop up everywhere! So many ...

Tips For Launching Your Own Business By Judith Lindenberger This November marks my two-year anniversary of starting my own human resources consulting business. As I look back on the years, I am amazed at what I accomplished and learned. If you are thinking about starting a business, read on! I always dreamed about having my own business, talked to friends about it, and imagined how it might be.

Gerry Giraffe had just struck out again. Gerry's abnormal height was a distinct disadvantage playing baseball because of his extra high strike zone. Although Gerry really didn't care ' he wasn't too passionate about baseball ' he only played it because the other kids did. The problem was his team had now lost the city championship and they were all bummed out. In the locker room after the game Coach Rhino Rhinoceros tried to comfort his players with the following words of wisdom. 'You lost ...

There is a phenomenon that never ceases to amaze me. I have observed it many times with countless individuals, businesses, teachers, churches, non profits and may occur in any setting where individuals or groups have a vision. A vision for something grand and glorious. A vision that will have an amazing impact in their lives and the lives of others. Then what happens? "I am getting my ducks in a row" comes the response. Ah, yes. The planning to plan some more and get it all perfect so that the ...

"You learn something new every day". How many times have you heard that sentence? Chances are, many many many times over the course of your lifetime you have heard those six words or some similar combination. Sometimes when we have phrases like this repeatedly, we forget or somehow stop hearing the significance in the message. Using the thesaurus in my word processor, I was able to tap into a list of twelve words which also mean "learn". There are subtle nuances to each word which may give the ...

Today's competitive marketplace for consulting services is no longer responsive to the marketing strategies that worked in the past. The services you provide should speak volumes about your consulting business. Think about what happens when you hear phrases such as, 'the ultimate driving machine', 'Don't leave home without it', and 'Just do it'. Chances are good that you can immediately associate them with BMW, American Express, and Nike. These companies have mastered 'brand brilliance.' ...

Last night I was talking with some of my dearest friends about Manifesting our Dreams through the Power of Goalsetting. As we were sharing, I explained the way I manifested my current radio show. It all started when more than 5 years ago I wrote my 100 lifetime goals. Included on the list was my own radio show. This year, that came to fruition. I also mentioned adding some distinctly "unbusinessy" goals on my list. These goals ironically have the power to significantly impact the bottom line of ...

When I first married, right before the ceremony, I said to myself: "This is either the best thing I've ever done or the worst." I had so many drugs and hallucinogenics running through my blood stream, I couldn't think clearly. Yet shortly after the marriage, a friend said to me: "You can only love another to the extent you love yourself. If you don't love yourself, you'll never be happy." My ears heard her words but my heart heard nothing. Her pearls of wisdom flew over my head, escaping into ...

"I have to solve this problem now. The sooner the better!" "Once I figure this out I will....." "I can't do Y until I do X and I do X RIGHT" Push, push, push. As a society, it seems popular and highly favored to become a "go getter". Some one who "knows where she is going and makes a way to get there." Ladder climbers have been known to trounce several or quite a few on the way above and beyond. The easy way? Never! Part of the badge of honor is the striving, the struggle, the sweat and the ...
