Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone is exactly what our illustrious Queen D.I.V.A.  Did.  I was chatting with her yesterday and had one of those “AHA” moments.  Kimberanne Weaver, creator of D.I.V.A. College Dot Com was sharing with me a passion she has for DIVA College and her future path. While having this discussion, she was also reading some quotes that inspired her.  Then it hit me! Geeeeee it is quite amazing how synchrodestiny’s (thank you Deepak) really are at every turn, more importantly, being cognizant that they occur all the time if you will just allow yourself to accept them.  By allowing yourself to see, feel, and experience these synchronistic events you will be lead to a great manifesting experience. Stepping Out So here was my AHA!  DIVA is an educationa More....

How About an Open Dialogue.  I am going to begin writing a series on health care and what will need to take place to make real lasting change. I may not have all the answers, but I can assure you by opening the dialog among all of us we can come some effective solutions. First and for most we must begin to view this issue of health, wellness, as a personal responsibility and not the responsibility of some government agency of some corporation.

~~ Homeless in Eugene, Oregon.   I am reminded of Mother Teresa’s comments that she would not join a protest against war, but if you wanted to invite her to a rally for peace she will come. “I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there. Mother Teresa." It is all about where we place our energy. If we apply our energy to the negative side of that which we do not want we get more of what we do not want. When we apply our energy to the positive side of what we want, then we will attract more of what we want. I have not posted for some time. I am sorry to my readers for the absences. I have no good excuse other than I have a plate full of new beg More....

OR It Is Your Choice What I find so fascinating about life is that when you really are looking for the good in all things, that is what you will find or that finds you.  I have to share a story that was just send to me by a new friend, who I can hardly wait to spend more time with.  I met Catherine S. Read by way of a HARO request.  Catherine is a Social Media expert, and will be gracing us with her gift in a few weeks.  The HARO request was to assist my bookies group (5 aspiring authors mastermind group) with an understanding of the social media landscape.  Since our introduction, Catherine has truly shared some valuable nuggets and I would like to pass one along to my readers. Just imagine for a moment that all you do all day in complain about the state of your More....

Excuses Are For WIMPS What I find so amazing about excuses, is that they truly do limit you.  Just imagine for a moment that you say you can't do something.  You just put that our to the universe for fulfillment.  And YES your order is being fulfilled.  I have just joined a sales training class (I have already been in sales for 25 years) which is the best thing I could have ever done for myself, right now in my life. Thanks Eric Lofholm, you are right excuses are unacceptable.  More doors have opened for me, in the last two week, that will propel my business to unimaginable heights!!!  Now after watching this video I have no doubt that I will KICK IT Check This Out, and if you still have excuses after watching this..... Well....... Thai Pantene television commercial. Its simply More....

Serving Others Is The True Key We have all heard that service is the path to fulfillment.  I am hear to tell you that service is more than just fulfillment.  It is the true nature of the singular universe.  We are all one and we are not just serving others when we serve, but rather we are in service to all.  Take a moment to watch this short video and I believe you will walk away with a renewed spirit of giving. The True Key I will be posting more on this topic later, after I have had my own personal experience this afternoon.  I will be joining some of my other spiritual partners this evening, sharing our time and energies to feed and entertain several homeless in the Eugene, OR. area.  I would like your thought, comments and your own experiences as you have given of yo More....

Ethical Marketing The world of marketing – whether it is marketing in the offline world or marketing online – is more complex than what you might think at first glance. Just as there are ways to effectively market products and services, there is also a right and wrong way to market services and products, from an ethical standpoint. When most people think in terms of ethical marketing, they know that ethics plays into the sales copy that is used to sell the product or service. For example, it is unethical to make claims that are false concerning the product or service, or to make false claims about expected results from the use of a product or service.  Read The Full Story To Your Success Pay It Forward/Pass It On Jed A.

Do You Need Business Ethics Training No matter how large or small your business may be, the chances are good that there is some level of business ethics training that is needed – either by you or your employees or managers. Too often, however, many business owners think that business ethics training is a waste of time. This, however, is not the case. Numerous things can be accomplished with business ethics training, and this type of training can be either very simplified or very complex. The business ethics training needed for you and your managers is typically more extensive and complicated than that which you will be requiring for your employees.  Read The Full Story To your success and happiness!

Ethical Leadership Just as there are ethical business practices and ethical behavior in general, there is also ethical leadership that must be considered. This pertains to any type of leader.

Do ethics play into your business decisions? The chances are very good that this is not a question that you have asked yourself, and it is also quite possibly a question that nobody else has ever asked of you. However, if your business is going to be successful, or retain any successes that it has had in the past, ethics must absolutely play into all of your business decisions.  Read The Full Story To your success and happiness!

Ethical Behavior Ethics play a quiet, yet large part of our lives. Ethics come into play when we work, when we play, and at any time that we are interacting with others. Ethics are a set of rules that we each live by, essentially, although they are generally unwritten rules. Ethical behavior means that you are living, working, or playing in an ethical way – by the set of standards that are generally considered to be right or good.  Read The Full Story To your success and happiness!

Your Success From Struggles In Life Normally I don't copy and paste someone's material on my blog.  But I have been following Trevor for a while now and have been taken by his canny ability to say exactly what needs to be said at the right time.  That goes with this post he offers on his blog.  When I read it I knew it was very powerful and I needed to share it.  Thanks Trevor,  you rock and here's to ya mate!  And so you know,  I did ask Trevor for permission to post his offering  on Struggle on my blog. Struggle is a clever device through which nature compels humanity, which includes you to develop, expand and progress. It\'s either an ordeal or a magnificent experience, depending on your attitude toward it. Your success is impossible - unthinkable even, WITHOUT it More....

“Why Understanding Communication Completely Is So Critical” It is critical to analyze and understand human communication not only from your point of view, but the perspective and viewpoint of the other participants in the interaction. Case in point is the following example: Please indulge me for a moment. I am going to digress from my normal communication rants, because I have noticed on my own sites that what I thought I was communicating and what was being communicated to my visitors are two entirely different things. It is quit fascinating that you can communicate in person, by phone, by email, text message, and by your website, and so on. Bottom line, if your visitor does not feel safe or valued THEY WILL NOT POST OR COMMENT, THEY WILL NOT STAY, NOR WILL THEY BUY FROM More....

Perseverance Is The Only Way To Finish Strong I have to begin this long over-due post with a shocking observation. Gee we are all connected to each other in this universe. Is this a novel concept or is it a law? If we are truly connected I find it troubling that we, as inter-connected beings, have so much trouble communicating with each other. Just the other day I was having a conversation with my lovely wife, Gina and 14 year old son Joshua. It became clear to me that perception of ones personal experience has a lot to do with their ability to understand others they may be communicating with. Perseverance Is The Only Way It was fascinating to me, I could vividly see what I was saying and understood it completely, but my son and wife were totally oblivious to what I was More....

Coaches Being Coached I had an epiphany today when I hung up the phone with my personal life coach Joe Palmer of Bulls Eye Theory Dot Com.  It occurred to me that I am being groomed for greatness, but I have always known that I was a little different from the masses.  Let me explain before you go off and assume that this rant is from some egotistical whack job, nothing is further from the truth. My Coach I remember my business coach Artemis Limpert saying that all great leaders are not born that way, but that they are just gifted with the ability to stand in the front of the boat and willing to take what is thrown at them and keep on moving forward. I realized that I am being groomed, simply by my desire, vision, and action to take action.  Moreover, I realized that this More....

So, what does it take to be the "best leader"? Well, I just read a great article by Dr. John C. Maxwell.  It makes sense and you can become the "best leader" if you follow his advice.  Make it your own, find how to take his suggestions and make them work for you. For instance, he lists 7 parts to make you a great leader: Growing Serving Modeling Listening Relating Teaching-Developing Motivating Below is my "adjusted" and simplified view. 1) Growing- To grow means you have to challenge yourself and go out of your "comfort zone" YIKES! Who really likes to do that?  I don't but I DO!!  Just because I know it will make me a better leader as well as a better person.  You know the saying "Just DO It" 2) Serving- You have to desire to More....
