Relationships in business, with family, with friends, and with our most beloved partners can be difficult, upsetting and even exasperating.  We often believe that the other person needs to do something differently.  Sometimes we put all the blame on our own self, thinking we need to change.

Yes, certain attitude and behavior changes can and will improve relationships.  But unless we get down to the nitty gritty, really discover our deepest values, concerns, interests, passions…

Do you treat your business colleagues differently from your friends or family or most intimate partner?  Do you make a practice of studying business perspectives, learning how to communicate to new or regular customers or clients, and discovering how to build business relationships one by one?

Many of you will answer "yes" to both of the above questions.  But what happens in your most intimate relationships?  Do you suddenly forget all the rules and all the understanding you have…

I just received this fascinating explanation of the symbolism on the American Dollar Bill.

How much do you know about the creation of our currency and the underlying meanings which are many.  The entire email is posted here.

   On the rear of the One Dollar bill, you will see two circles. Together, they comprise the Great Seal of the United States.The First Continental Congress requested that Benjamin Franklin and a group of men come up with a Seal. It took those four years to accomplish this task and another two years to get it approved.

I have not been visiting Sta.rtup.biz as often as I used to.  For quite awhile I have been busy creating my Complete Relationship System which is almost ready to be launched.

In the meantime, in the spirit of this holiday season, I was invited to join a site where I can get all sorts of free downloadable gifts.  And - I added my own gift and you can too.

This is just one more way to add some additional people to your list and at the…

Happy New Year 2011.  Such a powerful and auspicious year.

I am so excited that I put into effect two things that I had been contemplating.

 

On Sunday morning at 9:30 AM I held my very first blog talk radio show entitled:

Happy New Year - Healing Through Love

Then, in that same state of inspiration, I wanted to share this with all of my lists.

About 6 months ago, I had…

How big is your current problem looming over you? Are you feeling stuck, incapable, unable to move forward because of some huge problem that is blocking or stopping you?

Remember, YOU are bigger than your problem. But perhaps you learned, somewhere, somehow, that you do not have what it takes to overcome your problems. Now is the time to lift yourself up, dust yourself off, and find a way to build yourself up. Become bigger than your problem.

Listen to this 2…

Most of us have strong beliefs about millionaires. We believe that if we reached that level of income our worries would be over. We wouldn't have to pay taxes, we would no longer worry about money and finances, we would drive a fancy, expensive car, we could walk around feelng better than others, and we could spend our days playing golf or pursue some other leisure activity.

Facts are different from myths. Find out what real millionaires think, and believe and how…

Just watched a very special, brief video that explains what is the true essence of success in business. All too often, too many of us are determined to SELL our products and services. And our potential customers often resist "being sold to." So the end result is either no sales, few sales, or perhaps only a one time sale.

If you are in business for the long haul and intend to go the distance, then begin to give now. Give what you can, often for FREE. I remember an old saying;…

Research in economics and business teaches us what it takes to maintain motivation and drive on the way to success. Relationships work the same way. They require motivation and drive to succeed.

Relationships, especialy with our most intimate partners, can be difficult, frustrating, and disappointing. We meet someone who lights up our life, kindles the fire within us, and then we get intimately involved. Soon afterward, weeks, months or perhaps a few years, the fire seems to…

Are you serious about building your business and perhap confused about which way to go? Have you wondered, "Should I use pay per click ads?" "Should I create a Twitter, Facebook and other social media networking pages?"

What is the quick and easy solution? Well, if you are looking for a quick and easy way to build your business, then perhaps a web based business is not for you. From my experience, it all takes time - lots of time. Yes, some of it can be outsourced. Some of it…

Have you been using social media for awhile and you don't know where to focus your time and attention? Do you have any sense of the vast number of social media sites available to date. Don Crowther, a self-made social media expert, has studied the vast array of social media sites and has tested them for ability to create traffice and for SEO optimization.

Have you been involved with social media for awhile now, thinking to yourself: "Why am I wasting my time doing this?" "How can all this silly bantering back and forth with others create real money for me?" Am I just wasting my time or is it really possible to make money using social media?

I have often wondered these same questions. Having written hundreds of articles and blog posts, reponded with comments on many people's blogs, and shared my latest posts and work with others…

A recent study surveyed 2,000 people from 20 countries with assets of $1.5 million or more. There were some common themes such as the fact that wealth allows them to buy the best products and gives them freedom to choose what they want to do in life and that they have been rewarded for doing hard work.

Find out what wealthy people from different cultures believe about respect, charity, happiness, role models and spending.…

Hi. I just found this interesting article and wanted to share it with my Sta.rtup.biz friends. We can't hear these suggestions, tidbits, "secrets," and success ideas often enough. Please comment and let me know what you think.
