How to Work Better

Whether they are working in the same position for three months or five years, most people strive to know how to work better. Keeping your job is integral to the way you’ve built your lifestyle — without your weekly paycheck, you would never be able to make that car payment or hit happy hour every Friday.

I’ve found there are a lot of small things you can do once a day, once a week, or even once a month to boost your status from a 9-to-5 worker to keystone employee. Here’s how you can do it. Read More

Answering Life’s Hard Questions with Lori Deschene

Pooja Lohana 6th January Goals 33 Comments

We are giving away two copies of Lori Deschene’s Book at the end of this interview.

About a month ago, I heard from Lori Deschene, Founder of Tiny Buddha. Lori, with her creative writing and ideas, has created a community of like-minded people which is growing every second as you read this. Her Twitter following, when I last checked, was close to 240,000. Her social network page has a “Like” rate of 70,000.

I say this not to express how great a communicator she is (although that will be true), but to highlight the sheer power of will and passion. After having worked with 100 employers, she is here to share a piece of her life with us. A must-read, especially if you’re planning to go solo in your professional life. Read More

Success Plan 2012 – Part I: Committing to & Achieving the Dream

Martin Yate 2nd January Goals 6 Comments

We all have dreams and make resolutions for a more fulfilling life. Yet we fail achieving the dream with a solid plan of attack. Dream too long and you’ll look back on a life’s path scattered with the tombstones of lost opportunities. Try something new, and 2012 can be the year you change the trajectory of your entire life; all you have to do is wake up and smell the coffee, and then start walking towards it.

Job security is a thing of the past, but you can regain control of your life by replacing blind loyalty to faithless employers with a commitment to your own long-term economic survival. Make this the year you commit to understanding and applying the new career management strategies that will put security and fulfillment back in your life. It’s just a question of making time in an already hectic life. Read More

How to Focus Your Energy Like a Laser Beam

Logan Parker 25th November Goals 3 Comments

The best most people can do is AVERAGE. (After all, isn’t that the definition of average?) So when you can freely operate at your optimum and know how to focus like a laser beam, outshining others becomes easy.

You can achieve your goals faster, and with fewer struggles.

Society consistently rewards those who master peak performance. When you have the extra “oomph” that gives you superior results, people are quick to give you respect, admiration, and power. Read More

How Lifelong Learning Can Open New Doors in Your Career

Jesse Langley 18th November Career 1 Comment

So many business professionals are focused on the top that they forget they need to stay current on the job they already have. We forget that we need to be able to do our job to the best of our ability before we can begin to climb the ladder. If we’re set on promotion, we also need to stay current and be thought leaders for where we are now. This is where Lifelong Learning comes into play.

Lifelong learners already know what’s going on in their field. They’re the ones who have subscriptions to professional journals, and they’re the ones who announce to the office the latest in technologies. Human Resources departments love them, and so they’re the ones who get the promotions.

How to Nip Procrastination in the Bud Once and for All

David Galic 28th October Goals 9 Comments

Ironically, procrastination is a problem that we all seem to put off dealing with. Many people will keep putting off their obligations for as long as they can, even if they are fully aware that their lives would be so much easier, if only they were able to do everything they want to do on time.

Procrastination is something that affects people of all ages. Many college students put off studying for an exam or writing a paper for as long as they can, and then they have to pull a ridiculous all-nighter to compensate. Office workers set aside boring paperwork and avoid it until their bosses demand it at the end of the month, making them spend extra hours in the office for no good reason. Read More

How to Start Freelancing While You Work Full-Time

Zul Musa 24th October Career 5 Comments

Many people with a full-time job have some marketable skills that are not fully utilized but suitable for freelancing. For example, Martha, a finance executive, possesses good English editing and copy editing skills, thanks to her attention to detail and strong language aptitude. Dylan, who is a teacher, is passionate about graphic design and can churn out an impressive web banner within minutes using multiple graphic software.

When put to good use, our valuable skills help increase our income, connect us to a closer network and ultimately deliver extreme personal satisfaction. The money may not be enough to make us financially free, but if we persevere, chances are one opportunity will lead to another, and before we know it a new wealth of options come knocking on our life’s door.

21 Ways to Save Minutes Each Day

Thanh Pham 7th October Goals 15 Comments

I have a confession to make: I’m obsessed with time. On my phone I track every minute of the day and how it is being used. I can even show you a spreadsheet with months of data where my time up to the minute.

For example, I can tell you that on average I sleep 7 hours and 14 minutes a day and I spend on average 87 minutes a week running errands. You might wonder why I’m doing this. The reason is that I want to be on the fast-track to success. One of the ways to reach my destination faster is by maximizing the time I have at my disposal. In other words, by time saving.

Rajiv Vij 12th September Goals 11 Comments

Master the Art of Motivation by Making Pain-to-Passion Transition

Logan Parker 22nd August Goals 4 Comments

If you want to become a master of your own motivation, so that you have relentless discipline and persistence to achieve your goals, you must understand that there is a past, present and future to the evolution of motivation.

In the past. . .

You had no motivation. But then something inspired you. I can’t say exactly what it was, but I can guess that you developed a burning desire to succeed based on the old methods for motivation.
