The first time I heard about the term work-life balance I was surprised that anybody even thought of balancing the two. Wasn\'t that like counting apples and oranges? Still, the idea was quite exciting and I thought I\'d explore it a bit more: I thought long and hard about what kind of working hours I wanted to have, what kind of office, how many people. By means of visualization all of that became a clear image that I was drawn to. Interestingly enough my enjoyment of the visio... more...

There are two key words that lead to success in life. These words control the successful outcome of your business, marriage, and many other areas of life. Although you may have incredible talent and skill in life, you will fail if you do not master these two words- and vice versa. Even if you have only limited talent and skill, you will win if you live by them. These two words determine your future. They are attitude and expectation. If you have a positive, forward-looking attitude,... more...

We all know how important it is to work hard to get your home business up and running and off the ground. We also know that when your home business is located right in your home, it is all too easy to get a few extra hours of work in after you eat dinner, or to get up early to work a little bit more in the morning. However, the fact remains that most of the people who are working at home businesses have decided to do this so that they can control what hours they work, and so that they ca... more...

Anyone who runs a home business wants it to be successful. It\'s a way to reach your dreams, whether they be to simply earn enough to pay your bills or to change your entire lifestyle. It can be a lot of pressure. But that pressure can be both a good thing and a bad thing. You can read plenty of stories about people who succeeded beyond their wildest dreams because they had to succeed. And it\'s certainly true that needing to succeed can provide that drive that will eventually m... more...

Many people have often thought that in order to run a home business you need to have gone to college or have a college degree. Well, this is something that can not easily be solved with a simple yes or no answer, because like everything it depends on the circumstances. First of all, going to college can do wonders for getting a regular job. Many employers look at what you did in college as a way to judge whether you are right for the job or not and many employers will pick someone who has go... more...

Like any business, a home business needs to be nurtured in order for it to be successful. You can\'t just sit back and hope that it is going to take care of itself, and that the single action of having a website and submitting it to search engines to allow potential customers to find it is going to do the trick. No matter what you may have been told, there is no business that is going to make money for you without you having to do some work to make it happen. Yes, they teach ... more...

There are many people in this world who are in jobs that they hate. They do not like to get up every day and go to jobs that they do not enjoy and they simply are not happy doing jobs that they do not have any interest in. These people are not happy at work, which means that they struggle to be happy when they are not at work, as it is often hard to separate work from life and most people find it very difficult to make sure they are not bringing their attitudes about work into their out of work ... more...

Do you pride yourself on being a magnificent multitasker? Do you feel as though you can accomplish everything on your list only if you multitask? There are more and more studies being done about how the brain operates when we are doing more than one thing at a time. Concern over the safety of using cell phones while driving has spurred some of the research. People are talking on their phone, eating or smoking, and driving all at the same time. There is no wonder that errors of judge... more...

I think back on my time working for someone else and almost have to laugh now. It seems so distant and far away that it isn\'t even real to me anymore! But I have to remind myself how I felt at the time...back when I had zero work life balance. The mornings were the worst. I had to leave earlier and earlier to get to work on time with all the traffic. Each morning an epic battle was waged just to get out of bed. On one side was my sense of obligation; on the other was the snoo... more...

Many of us struggle every day to do what we think is demanded of us - and there are still a group of people who feel that compared to their work schedule, there are not enough hours in a day. That takes a toll physically, mentally and economically and chronic stress can lead to an increase in blood pressure and stress hormones and perhaps can even be the cause of a heart disease. If you feel that you have absolutely lost control over your day to day routine, do not throw out tantrums or ... more...
