Do you have a well defined "Take it easy policy"

Do you have a 'Take it easy Policy'? Being a Father of four, I find that I must continually review my "Take it easy Policy". When the storms of life are gathering, it's important to remember that you're not defined by what happens TO you but by how you handle it. At times like this, it becomes very important how we excercising our freewill.

Part of success in reaching goals is understanding how to deal with storms and discouragements that inevitably come along the way toward success. We must "See the light" behind the mountain in front of us.

"Free will" a hard obligation or inspiring challenge?

In Feb, I wrote about how to preserve our Freedom by understanding and upholding our US constitution.

Approximately one month after I posted that story, I was asked a very stirring question by a friend, whether "Free will" is a difficult obligation or inspiring challenge. I pondered on this one for a while and realized some things about free will that I never thought of before. Please read further...

Eureka! -Archimedes would have liked LinkedIn.com

On Jan 25th as part of the Mastermind topic, I discussed networking on http://www.linkedin.com/. Linkedin has a great discussion forum where you can ask and answer other professional's questions. I know I've been talking about it a lot lately but I really like this site. It's a great way to expand and share your knowlege base with others in a given skill area and it's also a great place to brainstorm and get those "Eureaka" ideas from others.

How many ways to say "Good!"

Have you ever thought of how many ways there are to say good? I found a site called http://www.visualthesaurus.com/ that helps you figure out all the ways that you can say good. The nice thing about Visual Thesaurus is that you are able to search for synonyms in a visual display that allows you to engage your whole brain. Awesome!!!

Book Report: Here's My Card

If you want to build a Master Mind, you're going to need some business cards. And before you spend a ton of money on business cards, you need to read: Here's My Card. It's a book about selling as much it is about business cards. Bob Popyk gives a ton of strategies to networking yourself with the help of business cards. It also contains a nice section in the back about business card design. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
