Speaking It Into Existence Isn’t As Important As This by Rich Jones - May, 2013 Positive affirmations ain’t never hurt nobody. But inaction has. I wish I could tell you how many times over the years I’ve tried “speaking it into existence.” I’ve made proclamations to the man in the mirror or to a close friend, which resulted in a “[Hell] yeah!” or “Go be great.” Then I’d swagger away — enthusiasm and endorphins flowing — intent on taking the world by storm before falling into old habits like tv and t... |

Career Success: Sharpen Your Focus by Georgia Adamson - May, 2013 Few people can do a zillion things at once, and even fewer can do them well.

Work Life Balance: Tips & Techniques by Thomas J. Denham - Apr, 2013 These are typical signs of work life balance gone amuck: Feeling that you are merely trying to get through the day.
