Your Career?
… Next Steps
Do you feel that your career has stalled? Maybe it even feels as though you are moving in reverse. You might be unemployed and cannot seem to get past sending resumes … with little or no results. Perhaps you feel “underemployed” in your current job.
Even in the most positive business environments … careers stall and interviews are not granted. This becomes even more discouraging in an economic downturn.

Time Management = Time Freedom
Identify Time Wasters
As we talked about earlier this week, we all have the same amount of time each day and each week. How we use this time most often determines our success and satisfaction in life.
Time wasters can be both frustrating and distracting. In fact, studies have shown that if your concentration is removed from a task it can take fifteen to thirty minutes to get back on track. And even more time is lost if the interruption was dramatic! Yikes!
One of the most important time management tasks you can undertake is to identify your time wasters. These time wasters can be people, tasks, habits, things, your own personality quirks, etc. that get in the way of being more effective with your time. Continue reading ‘Identify Your Time Wasters’ »

In the beginning…there was time
Who among us would not want more time in a day, week, month, or year? Since that is virtually impossible, this week we will look at ways to maximize the time that we do have.
Each one of us has the same number of hours in our days. What we do with those hours is as individual and unique as our personalities and fingerprints! During this week we will look at various aspects of time, time management, time freedom, and today…even the ancient meanings of time. Continue reading ‘Time Management equals Time Freedom’ »

“Lead, follow, or get out of the way.” We have all heard this famous quote by Thomas Paine, the author of both Common Sense and Crisis that were so influential during the American Revolution. A similar quote has been attributed to General George Patton, “We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.”
In the last few weeks I have heard this phrase used several times on national news broadcasts. I’ve heard it used in reference to BP and the oil crisis. I’ve heard it used in reference to our President.
Richard Smith, CEO of Cisco Systems, recently said in a Newsweek article, “It’s important to know what you don’t know.” That’s a pretty profound revelation! And it takes a very confident and competent leader to admit that they don’t know everything. Kudos to you, Mr. Smith! Let’s hope other leaders take direction from your words of wisdom.

“In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The Fourth of July holiday is upon us. How many Americans think about our freedom on this day of Independence? Independence Day is the commemoration of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. This declaration gained the United Stated independence from Great Britain.
The estimated number of citizens living in this new independent nation in 1776:
The estimated population on July 4, 2010:
The Fourth of July is the day we pay homage to our Founding Fathers. It is also a day to honor and pay tribute to the brave men and women who have fought and died to maintain our freedom. And July 4th is a day when we pay homage to our own freedom.
“Those who won our independence believed liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty.”
Louis D. Brandeis
