Digg it UP - Thank Goodness For Those Old Buddhist Proverbs
You must be among those who have entertained a lot of 'what if’s' in your mind. You know your strength and your opportunities. You have been on the net and found products there that are really not that hard to conceptualize. And yet you are not sure how to start.Starting on a niche product creation is really right here, right now. The web and you.If you have the ideas that you want to offer, those are as good a start as anything if not search the web. Many ideas can be taken out from there.In whatever manner you would want to start, there are three basic steps that need to be done. Planning, organizing and follow up.Conceptua
Another story.
A friend of mine has gone through a massive journey of self-discovery and personal growth over the last twelve months. Her life, relationships, attitudes, career and beliefs have all changed drastically. In many ways she is a completely different person; happy, fulfilled, excited and loving life. The only down side to her new-found reality is that she doesn't 'get' people who don't get her perspective (or even want to listen to what she has to say). Kind of like the reformed smoker who becomes a judgemental, opinionated pain in the arse, she has had to learn that not everyone is where she's at (practically, emotionally, psychologically).

The definition of a cheap remortgage is different for the lender and the buyer. Lenders see a cheap remortgage as one where they lose money. Home buyers see a cheap remortgage as one where they save money.It all comes down to where interests lie. It is obvious the lenders interests lies with making money off the loan while the home owners interests lie with saving as much as possible on the loan.A cheap remortgage is possible. Actually the whole concept of a remortgage is to get a better and cheaper deal then with the original mortgage. The goal is to secure a lower interest rate and get reduced or waived fees. A remortgage is primarily ju

At the outset I'm going to assume two things about you (yes I know the dangers of assumptions... call me crazy).
Assumption one:
Over the last ........ mths/yrs (you fill in the number) you've discovered some amazing truths about yourself, life, the world, God, finances, people, happiness, peace, relationships, love (and so on).
Assumption two:
At times (possibly often) you've been frustrated by the people in your world (friends, family) who don't share your ideas, thoughts, beliefs, vision or enthusiasm. In short; they don't really get what you get. And you get frustrated because you know you can help them, if only they will listen. After all, your motives are good. What's their problem? Why are they so determined to stay in their mediocrity?
A short story.
Like most people over the Christmas period, I had to attend my fair share of social functions and being the non-drinking, non-smoking, low-fat, excitement-machine that I am, I invariably found myself trapped in some corner of a room, locked in a deep and meaningful dialogue with someone I didn't really know, would never see again, who had thrown down one too many drinks and was standing six inches closer than is socially acceptable (on the Craig personal space meter).
Several times I considered abandoning all of my principles and getting really drunk and standing by the barbeque eating fatty, salty, charred animal flesh with my socially-inappropriate drunk buddies talking crap and telling bad jokes... they seemed to be having so much fun (I know there's a lesson in there somewhere).
I nearly did it.. but I knew you wouldn't respect me any more, so I refrained.
Although I do have a propensity to talk (being an extroverted, attention-seeking, only child and all), one of my favourite things to do when I'm around groups of people is to .... listen and watch; amazingly, be quiet.
One of the most interesting studies in communication is to observe someone trying to talk to someone who isn't really listening, and who really has no interest in what is being said.
Invariably the talker will start to increase the volume (and spit frequency). If that doesn't create the desired response, he or she will move closer. When that fails they will start with the pointing finger (one of my favourite bits). What then often follows is either yelling, swearing, insults, occasional violence or any combination thereof (gets no better).
Why is it that (some) people feel so compelled to 'evangelise' people who don't want to be converted? Do they not have the capacity to read the incredibly obvious non-verbal communication which is screaming "I'm not interested in what you have to say or your stupid philosophy."
An interesting study in behavioural science is to stand back and watch various social situations and see how many people don't actually listen to each other in conversation; they merely wait for a gap in the dialogue to get their point across.
Lesson one: The best communicators.... don't necessarily talk a lot.
Lesson two: People will learn when they are ready.
Lesson three: Don't try and teach someone who doesn't want (or isn't ready) to learn; you'll probably do more harm than good.
Lesson four: Don't confuse 'being articulate' with being a 'good communicator'... 93% of communication is non-verbal. If you want to connect with people talk less, watch and listen more.

Since the computer and internet were discovered, most people have been attempting to earn big bucks from this venue. Although many have succeeded, still many are trying and wishing for their luck to change.Many frauds and scams are now out there giving you false hopes about instant riches for a hundred dollars or so only. They will even provide you with evidences, testimonies and bank accounts to show that their schemes really work. Yea, maybe it works for them but for them only. When they already got what they want from you, they will disappear in an instant. So, be alert and cautious when dealing with strangers who promise you instant wealth.<

Why does the Immigration Department insist on asking the question who freed the slaves and saying it was Lincoln? Do you think Lincoln was in a position to free the slaves in the South? Perhaps he was but that was never settled in court and it was the matter of Civil War, in part. He did not free the slaves in the North where he actually was legally entitled to make such a Proclamation. This kind of management of public perception is almost considered wise by people when they learn that it is not true. They say things like ‘We need our heroes’.If we need to lie about liars and racists or otherwise keep our heads in dark places and eat what mushro

Do you think promo items are silly? Think again!Promotion items are not necessarily items that you throw away once you leave the trade show; they are items that publicize your company. Most promo items are stored in desks, put in pen holders, placed in staff rooms, or used in some manner. Be particular in what you choose for your promo item, make sure it connects with what you provide for the client.Pens are wildly popular but if you have high end clients, then the pen should be a high end one with your logo tastefully engraved. After all, you want the client to use it in front of other clients. The best way to choose a promo item is to lo

Ask any lawyer, accountant, life insurance agent, financial planner, mortgage brokers, stock brokers, or any lay person for his definition of asset protection and he will likely tell you that it’s the positioning of your assets against potential creditors who can sue you for typical negligence.My definition is beyond the mere positioning of assets; it’s the preservation of your current and future lifestyle against potential frivolous lawsuits, the probate process, the estate tax, and the nursing home spend-down.Asset protection is protecting you against anything that can take money out of your pocket, including:- A potential credito

Lesson five: By trying to convert or convince people who don't want to hear your message, you are more likely to create a negative outcome, than you are, a positive one (and annoy the crap out of them). Many relationships have been destroyed by well-intending friends or family who have had some life-changing experience or revelation and think everyone in their world needs what they have.

My mother smokes. There I said it. I really hope she doesn't read this because she'll be grumpy at me for a day or three. I love my mum (mom for my US friends) and because I love her, I don't want her to smoke. Simple. But you know what? My mum doesn't want a 'lesson' on smoking from me. When we head down that path... it only ends in tears. Mine. No joy for the big fella at all.
Lesson six:
Mothers can be scary. And gorgeous.
Lesson seven:
Trying to teach people who; 1. don't want to be taught or 2. don't want to be taught by you... will invariably create resentment.
