The Magi
THE MAGI: I find no real fault in Constantine’s inclusion or plagiarization of earlier and other systems of thought or their symbology into Roman Empire social engineering. The problem I see is the nature of the knowledge that they sought to prevent average people from gaining. Knowledge is power and knowledge in the hands of the few is a corrupting power. They have used mind-fogging projections to enslave and make people live in fear of demons and other constructs. “Among the most famous—and ...
Embrace Fear And Let Go
Before I started meditating several years ago with CDs using audio technologies, I estimate I hadn't recalled much more than tiny snippets of a dream in, gosh, at least ten years and probably many more than that.
Feeling Is Believing
How to visualize something you aren’t experiencing It has become a common statement in the “human potential” industry that manifesting and attracting something into your life is much easier when you put feeling behind it. I’m sure you can attain the same things without it, but I personally want to “ramp things up” (as my older brother likes to say) and use all the abilities at my disposal to guarantee that I receive all my wants with the greatest speed and force possible. But I was having a ...

Maintaining Relationship - Real Issue !
The biggest obstacle to creating successful and satisfying open relationships is jealousy. Jealousy is scary. People feel jealous when they experience the unpleasant suspicion that their man or woman is being unfaithful. People suspect the presence of a rival and fear losing out. Our stomach moves in waves and we can’t breathe. Our head feels like it will burst open. Our heart pounds in our throat and we can't talk.
Building The Perfect Virtual Reputation: Internet Marketing Can Work For You!
For the last six years I have been living in the beautiful mountain town of Asheville, North Carolina. Three years ago I experienced what many Americans have since 9/11; I was laid off from my job and there were few prospects in sight. After nine months of unemployment and only one call back in my field I had the inspiration to go into business for myself. I was lucky enough to find a talented, intelligent woman interested in investing in a business partnership with me and we began networking ...
Newspapers And The Weekly Food Section: Research For Food Writers
NEWSPAPERS AND THE WEEKLY FOOD SECTION by Pamela White I love the food sections in our local newspapers. I scan the recipes, note the food trends, look for food-filled events, and visualize my name right along the other syndicated and local food writers. Eventually, I finish reading the food news and only have next week's papers to look forward to. No longer! Most newspapers have online versions that include their popular food news and recipe articles. Not only is this fun for food ...
Write Articles, Get Noticed
If you have a website, you need to get visitors to that website. Writing articles is one of the best ways to get that traffic.
Email Interviews
Reporters and writers know the value of face-to-face interviews. Follow-up questions are easy in real time allowing writers to chase a new line of questioning with little effort or loss of spontaneity. Watching an interviewee’s movements, nervous twitches or smiles provides reporters with physical indicators of the truth or lie in an answer. Being on the scene allows writers to create descriptions of the individual and background details, adding depth and richness to the final article.
Ah!! Monsoon Season
“As dark gray clouds gather in the sky, it reminds me of eternal gifts that our Mother Nature has presented to us.”
Recruitment - What You're Really, Really Looking For
Imagine that you're a sports coach and you need a new player on the team. Would you walk up to someone in the street and say - "I want you to come and play for my team. I'll train you to become the best player in the country." Sounds a bit ridiculous doesn't it?
Snuff Out The Competition Without Leaving A Mark!
Does the competition drive you crazy? Are they relentless about taking your clients away? Are customer loyalties becoming a thing of the past?
Disput Of Resource
Dispute of Resources In the continuous process, where the resources are proportionate for a single production line, dispute of resources doesn't exist. In custom manufacturing, where repetition doesn't exist, it is different; the resources are disputed among the nets in production. The periods of execution of the old nets, in the case of inclusion of new net, increase and with this the cost of capital [back interest] grows. Including a new net [product] in the production of a ...
Leadership Skills: Four Ways Of Overcoming Perfectionism
The High Price of Perfectionism We pay a high price for perfectionism. “What perfectionism?” we perfectionists mutter. “We’ve known for years perfectionism is not healthy so we have dealt with this issue and strive for personal excellence only!” Really? When you slip-up - maybe handle a situation, task or project less than perfectly – what do you say to yourself? Are you able to commend yourself on what you did well and perhaps then, note a thing or two you could improve upon? Or do ...
Two Leadership Strategies: Don't Lose Your Mind And Be A Coach
Don’t Lose Your Mind Are you feeling overwhelmed, a lack of confidence or under a ton of pressure? Are you trying too hard to make something work and focusing too much on trying to fulfill other people’s needs and expectations? You may have “lost your mind!” My small still voice often speaks to me in cryptic one-liners. I’ll never forget the first time I heard the quiet whisper, “You’ve lost your mind.” And no, I had not lost my mind through hearing strange voices! Rather, this ...
Dance On Your Brain Tonight For A Better Tomorrow
Mark Twain once said, “You have to take your brain out and dance on it.” In other words, you need to give your mind some downtime tonight, if you want to have a more productive tomorrow. With that said are you a person who spends weekends and evenings worrying about business? Do you think about meetings, emails, and office politics? If so, it’s time to learn how to use your free-time more productively. Not only is your time away from the concerns of the workplace necessary, but a rested mind is ...

Overcoming Procrastination
Procrastination can work for you as well as against you. Identifying which category each procrastination item fits into lessons overwhelm and assists in getting things done in a timely manner. By letting go of a lot of negative self-talk we can use the energy we save for more productive uses.
Introduction To Project Management For Entrepreneurs
One of the greatest benefits of projects in an organisational context is their ability and effectiveness in the achievement of goals. The success or failure of projects is largely related to the way that managers develop tactics or plans for the projects and how these plans can be effectively monitored and controlled through the various stages of the project lifecycle. It is a basic premise that the successful implementation of a project requires the development of a set of action plans ...
Is Your Employee Newsletter Management Propaganda?
It should not be. If it is an effective newsletter, it will serve the needs of readers (employees) as much as it serves the needs of the publisher (management).
Problem Solving Success Tip: Look For Sponsors And Solution Owners
Look for sponsors and solution owners rather than problem owners. Everyone participating in the situation owns the problem, like it or not—and nobody likes it. However, if one person is designated as the problem owner, that gives everyone else involved implicit permission to step away and essentially pretend that they don’t have an ownership role in the problem. In other words, appointing a problem owner gets in the way of solving a problem. A much better term for what ...

Poor Employee Performance: How to Deal
KEEP WRITTEN RECORDS: “Document !Document! Document!” Keep a record of periodic performance reviews, incidents of unsatisfactory performance, conferences where warnings are administered or terminations are announced. Issue warnings and terminations in writing as well as verbally.

Saying One Thing, Doing Another...
This week I was asked to speak at an internal conference for a bank. The subject was how to build a great customer experience. However, the reality was somewhat different to the title. I sat listening to speaker after speaker - all coming along with the same message “how can we stuff more products into our clients and achieve our targets”.

Help for the Meeting Weary Manager
Most of us have found ourselves working on a team at one time or another. That means we have been asked to attend, and even participate, in lots of meetings. Unfortunately, few of us found these meetings to be particularly effective. Many in fact are a complete waste of valuable time and resources.
Project Management, A Forgotten Perspective
