What Did You Say - Ways to Create Effective Listening Skills
In the home based business there are many different ways to implement effective listening skills successfully. Everyday you are using your business communication skills with fellow workers, employees, clients, customers, vendors, accountants, advertisers and attorneys to name just a few.Effective listening skills are on the top of the list of business communication skills. In my article; Business Communications and Your Success, I discuss the many various forms of communication used in the busi

"Can't they be synonymous?" "Not where I work"

"Did you always want to be lawyer?" "No." "What did you want to be?" "A vet or a musician." "What happened?" "My father happened." "Waddya mean?" "Family law firm, weight of expectation, eighteen years old." "You're not eighteen now."

Contemporary Slavery
Today I learned that slavery is alive and thriving in the world. Like most Americans, I guess, I was under the false impression that slavery had ended worldwide. NPR carried an interview with an escaped slave from Sudan. He had been raised as a slave by Arabs after being stolen as a child in southern Sudan.It is very difficult for me to express the whirlwind of emotions I feel at this new knowledge. We send Americans to die in Iraq for, at best, questionable reasons. Yet there are human beings,

Have you ever met someone who has seemingly lost their identity to their career (or perhaps to something else)?

And if you take them away from that career (or whatever it is), it's like they don't know who they are... because that is who they are...

It (whatever it is) gives them their confidence, their self esteem... and their identity.

"Tell me about yourself" "I'm a Lawyer." "No, don't tell me about your job... tell me about you." "What do you want to know?"

"Well, a Lawyer isn't who you are.. it's what you do; tell me about you."

Aaah...

"What inspires you, drives you, gets you excited, gets you furious, makes you cry, makes you laugh?"

"What are you passionate about, fearful of, what would you fight for?" "What will your legacy be?"

"Err...well, um.. can you give me a minute?"

I met someone recently and asked him all of the above questions in the first five minutes (a little intense I know). He totally didn't get it... thought I was weird.

Probably right, but not the point.

When I discovered that he was a lawyer, we had this conversation: (nothing against lawyers by the way)

"Do you enjoy law?" "I wouldn't call it enjoyment" "What would you call it?" "Work." "Can't they be synonymous?" "Not where I work"

Watch Your Attitude
So many restaurants spend money on publicity and then practically chase customes away by the owner's attitude. Stop to think, please, who is really more important, your customers, your chef or your own cost-saving ideas? True, you have to keep your chef happy but not if he refuses to cook what the customer wants and you, Mr. Restaurateur: what good is saving a few cents here or even a dollar there, if the customer never returns?No names here to protect the guilty, but if you recognize y

How Far Can Customer Service Help In Medical Staffing
Customer service in medical staffing is a sleeping giant that often times is the killer of giant medical staffing firms. The killer creeps in slowly, gently and harvests its seed in the minds of your clients and flourishes often in the headsets of a disgruntled employee.Keep stock of what is being said about your company. To many medical staffing agencies are to preoccupied with getting new accounts or securing new recruits that they fail to realize the need to provide excellent customer se

Fixed Interest Investing: Making Bank - Building Society Deposits
Deposit accounts are designed for money to be left alone for a period, in contrast to current accounts which are intended for frequent transactions.Whilst deposits and withdrawals are easy, these accounts do not have the facilities of a current account such as cheque books. A higher rate of interest is therefore paid.A deposit account is a useful back up to a current account, with easy transfer from one to the other. As well as being the best place for your cash reserve, the deposit acco

In the ensuing twenty minutes, he gave me fifty reasons why he must stay a lawyer and why he couldn't pursue something more fulfilling, stimulating, rewarding or (shock, horror).. fun!

When I suggested that he returned to his passion (of music), even just for fun as a hobby, he assured me that he didn't have the time or the financial freedom to pursue something with little, or no, financial rewards.

I left him to enjoy another thirty years of blah...

Sometimes we're so busy existing... and conforming... and keeping everyone else happy, that we forget to live... and to pursue our passion. Or at least, try and discover what it might be.

Forget to do what makes us happy. Forget to be 'us'.

Not the 'us' everyone else expects, the real us. The us we love. Some of us have never even met the real us...

Confused?

We're so focused on creating a career, marrying before a certain age, producing our 2.3 kids, doing what's expected, making money, ticking boxes, doing all the necessary 'practical life' stuff, that we gradually and un-intentionally, lose part of ourselves. Of course we have to make money, pay bills and do all those grown-up things, but for many of us, somewhere along the way we lost the idealist, the dreamer,
