Let your actions speak louder than your fears

I don’t need to inform you or state to you that we are living in a time of immense fear. You probably hear it all day long; “ Worst economy since the great depression.” “Unemployment at an all time high”; the media plays this tune right now on and on. Well here’s the thing if you listen to this information all the time and believe that things are as bad as they are; I don’t know about you but I...

Questions

Right now as I am writing this article I am sitting at Panera the person to my left is taking an online exam of what seems like an endless amount of questions. The individual to my right is preparing for another exam that is going to be filled with questions she doesn’t know yet but has to prepare. It’s odd to me how I learned to prepare and learn the art of answering questions for school but...

Watch

If you don’t already know of Gary Vaynerchuk he’s the founder of Winelibrary (http://tv.winelibrary.com) , bringing wine to the internet. I saw this video on his personal blog and found it relevant to the people I have been talking with these past couple months. I suggest we take the attitude that he exhibits here and have an attitude of gratititude for what is already going well in...

Never enough time

One of the great equalizers for all people is time. Time is the one thing that has an equal amount of everyday. If you think about it Steve Jobs, Warren Buffett, Tim Ferriss, etc. all have the same amount of time that we do. The only difference is what they did with what they had been given. The reason I am writing this post is that recently I have been hearing people state they don’t have the...

Unplug

I recently saw an ad for AT&T stating that they found the internet in the most remote region of the world with their new 3g connect card. In some planes around the country now the internet is available for you to check your e-mail and surf while flying (sounds dangerous because it is). In the age of noise , the key is to know when to turn off the noise. I know I know you are thinking I am...

Science of Achievement; Art of Fulfillment

It has been stated that America has had an increase of average household income every year since the 1980’s and the happiness level has stayed the same. It has only been recently but everywhere you look there is Yoga classes, spiritual teachers coming in town, increase in gym membership. From studies and observing human behavior fulfillment comes from who you become on the inside and contributing...

Networking to Find Work

This post hopefully should help with a nugget that I found helpful recently our current situation with unemployment. I have been reading the Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell and came across a good nugget. Malcolm Gladwell referenced a 1974 study that was titled Getting a Job. In the study out of all the people that were interviewed (over hundreds and hundreds all over the country) the results...

Happy New Year

Well it looks like the new year is here and now that you have actually gone through the status updates on facebook, and your sitting down thinking what do I want to accomplish next year. I would like to suggest some research before setting new year’s resolutions. I love the idea of new beginnings and the New Year brings in that idea better than anything else, but unfortunately it seems...

Being Thankful

I don’t know about you but every year seems to be going faster than the previous year. Every year around the holidays I like to spend a little bit of time reflecting on what I learned or what I did differently recently. One of the things that I focused on this year was the concept of waking up and being thankful for the day and specific things in my life. I found that this gave me a great...

Being a Go-Giver

Recently I finished a great book that I feel is one of the simplest and yet effective books on why people who give end up receiving more. The name of the book is the Go-Giver by Bob Burg and John David Mann, the link for the book is available here http://www.thegogiver.com This book is a short read that you can finish in a weekend or one night. The reason I was affected by this book because it...
