Success is Failure Turned Inside Out

Have you ever won­dered how some peo­ple can keep on going with a project or an idea after expe­ri­enc­ing set­back after set­back after set­back? How can peo­ple con­tinue to move on with an idea, or a busi­ness, or an endeavor after an appar­ent heartache forces them to stop (at least temporarily)?

If you’ve ever met any­one who says they’ve not had a tough time in their life or that they never had a rough day, then you’ve met a per­son who Read more

A Little Note: Some Good Ways and Some Not So Good Ways to Network

If you want to net­work with oth­ers, there are at least two things needed. First and sim­plest of them is that it helps to go where there are peo­ple. Sec­ond, and prob­a­bly the most impor­tant is that it helps to be gen­uinely inter­ested in people.

Dale Carnegie, one of the most influ­en­tial peo­ple of the twen­ti­eth cen­tury when it came to win­ning friends and influ­enc­ing oth­ers, once said, “You can make more friends in two months by becom­ing really inter­ested in other peo­ple than you can in two years by try­ing to get other peo­ple inter­ested in you.” Read more

How Strong Are Your Habits?

They say the secret of your future is hid­den in your daily rou­tine and the below addresses it very well. Although many have claimed fame to it, the offi­cial author is anony­mous. I came across this a num­ber of years back and it struck a strong cord with me then as it does now. I printed it out and I have it hang­ing on my wall in my office so that I can be reminded of the impor­tant les­son it reminds us of.

This has made such a strong impact on my life that I wanted to share it with you!

The secret for you is hid­den in Read more

Networking and People

How do you net­work? Do you find your­self net­work­ing a lot or do you find your­self not net­work­ing as much as you believe you should net­work? The word net­work­ing has got to be one of the most overused words in the Eng­lish lan­guage today. No longer is it used to describe what sales peo­ple or mar­ket­ing execs do. In actu­al­ity, it is some­thing we all do every­day when we come in con­tact with peo­ple, regard­less of how that con­tact is made.

Accord­ing to Wik­tionary, net­work­ing (apart from the ‘com­puter speak’ ver­sion of the word) is “the act of meet­ing new peo­ple in a busi­ness or social context.”

Today, the abil­ity to net­work is a must for any­one who wants to accom­plish a par­tic­u­lar goal that in some way or shape affects oth­ers. Whether it be in busi­ness or on a more per­sonal aspect, know­ing how to and how not to net­work is more impor­tant than ever before. Read more

Viewing Responsibilities: Obligation or Opportunity?

Do you enjoy get­ting involved with oth­ers for a cause? A busi­ness project? Or some other under­tak­ing? I’ve enjoyed get­ting involved in many orga­ni­za­tions and help­ing oth­ers suc­ceed in their endeav­ors for a while. Whether it is in busi­ness, in a com­mu­nity project or in a per­sonal mat­ter, being able to make a pos­i­tive dif­fer­ence in some­one else’s life has been a reward­ing expe­ri­ence for me. Unfor­tu­nately, that wasn’t always the case. There have been many instances where I’ve felt that I’ve worn myself too thin with all of my respon­si­bil­i­ties. Have you ever expe­ri­enced that? Have you ever gone from a feel­ing of look­ing for­ward to being involved to not car­ing as much as you know you should? Not want­ing to answer the phone when­ever it rang? Ignor­ing emails? If you have, let me Read more
