Fear. Everything in this world has its opposite. Good has bad. Optimism has pessimism Positive has negative. Success has failure. If fear of failure rears its ugly head now and then as you set up your business, what it's doing is pausing your progress. Sure you might spend a day or two thinking, 'what am I doing!' but you get over it and continue. But that's no good. This ongoing temporary fear of failure keeps on blocking the creative tunnels of your mind. When you feel down in the ...

The phone rings at 3:00 Monday afternoon and it is your best girlfriend Jenny, inviting you to dinner next weekend. What a nice thought, until she tells you there is "this guy she just knows you'll like".

It's happened to all of us at sometime in the past. You buy something new, get it home and plug it in, only to find that it doesn't work! Bad as this is, there's something else that's even worse and that's when something doesn't actually work quite as described. Frustration levels go through the roof and you feel cheated! The truth of the matter is that the cost in real terms of consumer goods has been steadily declining over the years. Things are cheaper now than they've ever been. The ...

My story is that an author who'd done online writing for such dot gones as Themestream, Written By Me, and The Vines, someone trying hard to have fiction, poetry and nonfiction in print for real, recommended PublishAmerica. She claimed it was a traditional book publisher. I was struck with their slogan, "We treat writers the old fashioned way - we pay them." Wasn't that what publishers were supposed to do?

You're up in the nosebleed section and you see what resembles little "ants" stretching on the field as they prepare for their 10-second mad dash to the finish line. As the race is about to begin, the official hollers: "Ready? Set. Go!" And off they go, as fast as the wind, with the hopes of finishing first among a handful of equally talented competitors. But wait, "Ready? Set. Go!"? Is ...

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. As we grow and change, we eventually run into the outer ...

We teach our pets the meaning of the word. We quickly learned its meaning as toddlers when we reached for mommy or daddy's car keys. Even an anti-drug campaign was built around the word. Yet, now that we're older, wiser and more responsible, the word struggles to break free from our own lips when we need to use it the most. That word? "No". Just saying "no" is essential in dealing with, managing, and even preventing stress. Knowing your limitations can prevent you from digging yourself into ...
