How to Quit Your Job – 5 Steps to Transition Into a New Career

Cat Stevenson 15th July Career 14 Comments

While travelling in Dallas for work, I picked up a book titled One Person/Multiple Careers by Marci Alboher. It spoke about how wearing many hats and not being tied down to a full-time job can work for you. In the first few chapters, I made an instant connection: There were a lot of people with dynamic careers out there in the world — just like me — who wanted to know how to quit their full-time job!

I’m a Corporate Banker/Real Estate Agent/Writer/Board Chair for my local Boys & Girls Club. For a long time, I was my biggest critic about these several slashes. I thought to myself, “Okay, Cat, you’ve proved that you can do a lot. . . now pick one. . . one!” Click Here to Read Article …

7 Effective Ways to Achieve Goals

Amy Hunter 6th June Goals 12 Comments

As I was cleaning out my desk drawer recently, I came upon a list of goals I had written years ago (yeah, it’s been a while since I last cleaned out my desk).

Looking over the list, I realized that I had not accomplished much of what was on it. Not only that, but the items on this list weren’t even on my radar any more. I kept looking and found list after list of things I wanted to accomplish but never got around to achieving them.

I stopped looking for more and tried to figure out why I gave up on these goals. I didn’t like the answer I came up with, but I think it applies to a lot of people. Most people, in fact: Click Here to Read Article …

Goal Setting Success – Charlie Brown Method

Logan Parker 23rd May Goals 11 Comments

If you’ve been into personal development for longer than 5 minutes, you’ve been sold on the benefits of goal setting.

You may or may not have been told about the studies done in the 1950s where they tracked the graduating class of Harvard and 25 years later they found out that the 3% of people who had written a goal were richer than all of the rest 97% who didn’t – COMBINED. [Editor's Note: A similar 1950s' Yale study was proliferated and then debunked by The Fast Company in 1996. Read full article here.]

Workaholic Anonymous – 5 Steps to Stop

Dr Kavita 16th May Your Job 7 Comments

Spotting an alcoholic or drug addict is so easy, but have you realized that you could be sitting right next to a workaholic and not notice him or her at all?

Sometimes, we don’t have to look far to discover that we ourselves are addicted to work—somehow the addiction snuck in while we were busy working.

Some people are surprised to hear that work could indeed be addicting. “Oh, there’s nothing like working too much,” or “Me? I am just working hard! Isn’t it the right thing?” Click Here to Read Article …

How to Practice Perseverance

Ralph Jean-Paul 9th May Goals 10 Comments

“Success is a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don’t quit when you’re tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.” ~Robert Strauss

We love stories about people who never quit. From the movies like Rocky and The Pursuit of Happyness to The Little Engine that Could, we are inspired by stories of perseverance. But what if it were possible to become like one of these persistent people (or trains)? The truth is it is possible for each and every one of us to build a persistent mindset.

When Goals Become Counterproductive (And What To Do About It)

Mark Garrison 6th February Goals 3 Comments

Goals, goals, goals. They are the cornerstone of most methods of productivity, and for good reason. They can be great motivators, and they give you a sense of achievement when you reach them. There is a problem that many people unknowingly experience, though, when goals start to get in the way of themselves and start to harm your chances of success.

An Introductory Anecdote

This past fall I began to study kenpo, a martial art not dissimilar to karate. My goals in learning a martial art were to reap physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits of the practice itself, as well as to gain solid, useable self-defense skills. When I achieved my yellow belt (the fist level above the beginner’s white belt), I felt more pride than I had anticipated at the achievement. The feeling of achieving this level relatively quickly made me start wondering about how fast I could progress if I added to my training time, and I began to give myself goals of achieving certain belts in certain timeframes.

Getting Down to Goalsetting: The Freelancer’s Bucket List

Mike Vardy 22nd June Goals Leave a Comment

Having goals is an automatic tendency for everyone – and the goals will be wide in range and scope. What might be something you find not really worthy of being pursued another may envision as an ultimate achievement. It is the achieving them that is the challenging part – although I’d argue that even sitting down to set goals is a larger challenge. It should serve to be an offshoot of your to-do list…and once you’ve put them down and have them in writing, they’re a lot tougher to ignore.

The Freelance Folder blog put together a great post that not only outlines a few of the author’s “bucket list” items, but challenges the reader to come up with their own. It’s an inspiring read and will hopefully serveto get you thinking about what you really want to achieve to live your life to the fullest.
