Creating A Vision For Your Business
The basic premises of designing an effective vision are as follows. You must believe there is always a better way. If you don't think there is a better way to run the business, then you don't need to create visions or strategies. If you do adopt this belief, it will keep you (and your client) aware that you need to monitor, review, and assess what you are doing, looking for what you could do better. The owner often feels that what they are achieving is good enough for now.
The Underlying Belief System
Copyright (c) 2005 Oyvind Hennum Many of us do not consider the underlying belief system about money to be of any importance. You think it does not matter, because what matters is what you do now. Right, at one level, but not complete. All ideas that we have learned about money in the past are colouring our actions today. These are ideas that you are unconsciously following, because you are not aware of them. It might be: "money is bad", "there is never enough money", "money does not grow on ...
What's Your Courage Quotient?

Have You Just Hit 'The Wall'?
Have you hit the 'brick wall' yet? No? Well it won't be long. I started tinkering with the internet at the start of 2003, then finished my property maintenance business towards the end of that year and went full time online.

Self Motivation for Trainers
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SELF-MOTIVATION FOR TRAINERS: Lack of self-motivation is an unfortunate side effect of our accelerated times.

Ahead of the curve to be on top
I once heard a statement that no matter how good you think you are, there is always someone else who is better. This appears to be a pessimistic view even to a point of degrading one’s self-worth. However, this saying provides a starting point to understanding one’s gifts or setbacks, one’s strengths or weaknesses in comparison to potential counterparts.

Are You Lacking Self-discipline ? - Part 2
As a man practises self-control he approximates more and more to this inward reality, and is less and less swayed by passion and grief, pleasure and pain, and lives a steadfast and virtuous life, manifesting manly strength and fortitude. The restraining of the passions, however, is merely the initial stage in self-discipline, and is immediately followed by the process of Purification. By this a man so purifies himself as to take passion out of the heart and mind ...
The Power Of Desire! - Part 2
Let's continue where we left off in Part 1... We have stated that it was in the power of man to Create Desire ; not only to be its master when created, but also to actually Create it by bringing it into being. And the statement is absolutely true, and is verified and proven by the most recent experiments and discoveries of modern psychology. Instead of man being a creature of Desire and this indeed he is in many cases, he may become Master of Desire and even a Creator of it. By ...
What You Sow You Reap!
Go into the fields and country lanes in the spring-time, and you will see farmers and gardeners busy sowing seeds in the newly prepared soil. If you were to ask any one of those gardeners or farmers what kind of produce he expected from the seed he was sowing, he would doubtless regard you as foolish, and would tell you that he does not "expect" at all, that it is a matter of common knowledge that his produce will be of the kind which he is sowing, and that he is ...

Copyright 2005 Elisha Burke Never limit you future by the shape of your past. This time-worn truism is still around for a good reason. We still need to be reminded of that, especially as we move forward with our goals, whatever they may be. Never limit your future by the shape of past. As I thought about that statement I realized that history bears witness to many who have overcome horrible pasts and moved on to be very successful in their lives. Many of our current heroes and heroines have ...
If Not Now, When?
Copyright 2005 Elisha Burke How many times have you made excuses for putting off something you really needed or wanted to do? Probably too many times to count. It is all too easy to get in the habit of putting the desires of your heart on hold. You may have been taught to put the needs of others first or that it is selfish to think of your own desires.
