Why are they called dream jobs? Well, it’s because it is something you have wanted to do since you first started thinking of a career field. You have probably been asked a zillion times, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”

Seriously, why do we ask children this question? I didn’t really know what I wanted to do as a career until I was thirty, and even now I am still not sure what I want to do! I have never asked my kids what they want to be when they grow up because I know from experience that the mind is easily changed, boredom creeps in, and most bosses are complete jack wads, and my point being that I do not ever wish a job on my children.

I remember my mom keeping this book that recorded things we did or liked during each grade of school we were in at the time...

Today, I am feeling the full weight of appreciation, and it’s not the two dozen homemade cookies I received as a going away gift from my colleagues. Although, the cookies do help! Last year at this time, I was let go from a long term substitute position after one week. I am good at what I do, and I felt under appreciated back then. Today, I was told of what a wonderful job I have been doing and that I am always welcome back. It’s good to feel appreciated!

The real reason as to why I was let go last year is still uncertain, but let’s just say that the karma gods have exacted their revenge for me and, that too, makes this feeling of appreciation that much better.

How easy do you think it would be to get everything you want in life simply by making those you need stuff from feel appreciated?...

Internet marketing can be a lucrative business if done properly, and when I say properly, I mean morally and ethically. However, many marketing professionals get to GURU status and put there business into coast mode. The Internet marketing business is a rare breed; it allows individuals with a wealth of knowledge and experience put those skills to use and help others become successful. At least, that’s what some marketers will have you believe. These guys “sell” you on their expertise, but is that to help you or get you to buy their fancy new product?

Internet marketing covers a plethora of niches. The biggest craze lately is for information that can be used so you can become an offline marketing professional. That is you helping businesses secure an online presence...

Fear is a noun; it represents an idea. We can also call fear an abstract noun as we cannot touch, taste, hear, or smell it. As a former commissioner of the the grammar patrol, I hereby tell you that fear does not exist, so stop letting it get in the way of your success.

We all know that guy who seems to step in crap and always come out smelling like a rose. That one friend or acquaintance who is successful at every endeavor he chooses to endeav.

By all accounts, as far as your warped mind can distort the truth, you are way cooler than that guy, so why can’t I have the same success? You ask yourself. However, If you have to ask this question, you already know the truth. Unless, of course, your mind has gotten the better of you and you really can’t see the obvious!

It’s been said that your ...

How many times throughout your life have you heard this phrase? I have heard this thousands of times from my parents, teachers, and bosses! It’s a great adage in which to live.

If we stop and think about this, it rings true. When we get sick with colds and viruses, our immune system is designed to make our bodies more resistant to the various illnesses and ailments we face. If you’ve ever had a major surgery, you know the painful therapy that follows will make you stronger and hopefully pain free in the future.

The same can be said about exercise, both aerobic and anaerobic. Unless you drop dead while exercising, the pain you suffered getting through that workout will make you stronger.

I have been working full time since I was sixteen, and I have held many jobs...

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that in the history of creating new businesses, whether big or small, no one business owner has been able to succeed on his or her own. Help was needed, and for a good reason, makes complete sense!

Franchising has guidelines and training in place to create business success. Even sole business owners must have good contacts that can help them succeed with advice and referrals.

One of the biggest examples of business partners would be Chris Powell from “Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition...
