ARTArticleThe Habit of CompletionIn the movie, "The King's Speech," the speech therapist (Geoffrey Rush) provides the stuttering King George VI (Colin Firth) with a set of exercises to keep his body and mind moving forward while speaking. By keeping his body and mind in a state of flow, King George VI was able to keep his speeches moving forward whenever he had the urge to stutter. The speech therapist was teaching King George VI the habit of completion.ARTArticleThe Heart-Break Of EgoTom Wright Many brilliant theorists, philosophers, self-help gurus, and psychiatrists, often speak of the "ego" as if "it" were something other than what it is: an illusion. An illusion is something that is real, but temporary. What we refer to as the ego has no permanent existence, any more than our bodies do. Anything that has no permanence, therefore, can be changed. Yet before anything can be changed, we have to first realize what it is. What, then, is "the ego."ARTArticleThe Hidden Cost of Free EmailWhen I attend networking events, I am always surprised by freelancers, and entrepreneurs that use a free email account – like Hotmail, or Yahoo, or one provided by an Internet Service Provider – rather than a vanity email with their own domain name. They have emails like ABC235LLCCorp@Gmail.com ather tha Jane@ABC235Corp.com. When I ask them why don’t just set up a vanity email with their existing domain name, they give me excuses like how they don’t want to track two emails (personal vs. business), or how they don’t want to pay the extra cost to set up a separate account.ARTArticleThe Impacts of the Human Trafficking Violence Trauma ExperienceThe Impacts of the Human Trafficking Violence Trauma Experience by Bill Cottringer I’m tired. I just want to go home. ~Anonymous survivor. Helping survivors get past the violence trauma of a human trafficking experience is a challenging effort. It requires an informed understanding of the total impact this horrid experience uniquely has on each different person. Below are the various impacts of loss that each survivor goes through to some degree or another, which need attention by human trafficking service providers in their trauma informed care model.ARTArticleThe Importance Of Killing Off Self-ImportanceTom Wright What every single person on earth does, is to make other people wrong for the intentions that they imagined were behind acts that were done. Actual acts often happen, they are what is real. But the degree of significance that is assigned to that act, the meaning that is assigned to that act, and the degree of upset attached to the "wrongness" of that act, is something we all, every single one of us make up entirely.ARTArticleThe Myth of Perfection & the Power of Flaws.There is often the misconception that to be effective in the world you have to appear like some slick, good looking, fast talking salesperson who projects a vibe of success and perfection in everything they do. You'll be pleased to know (unless of course you are some slick, fast talking salesperson) that this is absolutely not true. In fact striving to be perfect in the way you look, what you say and the way you say it can sometimes have a detrimental effect on your level of social influence...ARTArticleThe Past is the PastEveryone has a past. Some parts of it may be wonderful and other parts may harbor painful memories. You have come to accept what has been. You realize that holding onto shame, blame or guilt will not allow peace with your past. Mistakes were learning experiences that can serve you in moving forward.ARTArticleThe Principles of Time ManagementThe key principles of effective time management consist of organization, such as scheduling and planning; prioritization of the upcoming tasks accordingly to their importance and urgency and the elimination of unnecessary, time-wasting tasks. #1 Organization The importance of organization can be clarified by envisioning the time-consuming results of not being able to organize one’s daily-schedule and the upcoming tasks. A lack of organization results in chaotic working methods without being able to get an overview, which finally causes a loss of time.ARTArticleThe RecipeTake the mix and put it in a bowl, add one cup of flour. Then add a dash of salt and add in 3 eggs. You can translate this recipe into the life of a child; a child that will learn how to walk, talk, run and play. The cup of flour symbolizes the love and encouragement that you instill in them. It in turn instills a sense of security within them and a sense of knowing that they can achieve anything. At this point we add in the salt. The salt is to remind them that all things in life are not fair and that all wounds do eventually heal.ARTArticleThe Rocking ChairsI was passing by this house every single day. The couple on the porch rocking in their rocking chairs would kindly smile and wave to me, always full of cheer. One day it was a little hotter than usual and I must have looked pretty tired as the lady asked me “Do you want a drink?” I was happy she had asked because I was feeling pretty parched at that point. She ran and brought me back some cold ice tea. That was so refreshing! I said thank you. I looked at their smile, it seemed like they didn’t have a care in the world.ARTArticleThe Seven B’s of Healthy RelationshipsThere are certain principles that apply to all types of relationships, whether they are friendships, romances, business associations or family interactions. We all lose focus from time to time and can benefit from being reminded of the core tenets of relationship success. Being attuned to the Seven B’s, can help you make all of your relationships healthier, happier and more productive. Be Realisticr ARTArticleThe Spiritual SplitThe Spiritual Split Byr Bill Cottringer “Three things cannot be long hidden: The sun, the moon, and the truth.” ~Buddha. One such truth is the awesome power of threes. Just consider the influence of the threes in pyramids, the Christian trinity, colors of traffic lights, a tri-fold dinner menu, the times of the past, present and future, the Bill of Rights with the life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and even Freud’s personality divisions of the id, ego and superego.ARTArticleThe Two Problems of Problem-SolvingThe Two Problems of Problem-Solving byr Bill Cottringer If I had only one hour to save the world, I would spend fifty-five minutes defining the problem, and only five minutes finding the solution. ~Albert Einstein.ARTArticleThe Young, Impressionable Little GirlI see the color of your skin. I see the color of your hair. Mine is straight and yours is curly. I am short and you are tall. My eyes are big and yours are small. We both love to play. I have a jump rope and you have a ball. My tummy’s big and yours is small. All the kids are always around you; I’m always alone. They all joke about me being fat, but deep down we’re all the same. Your clothes are new and mine are old. Can you come over after school and play? “I can’t, I have ballet class today.”ARTArticleTop 10 Tips to Live Your Best LifeIf you’re not already living your best life its time to do the hokey pokey and turn yourself around. I challenge you to put your whole self in! An extraordinary life well lived and well told is an inside job. Here are 10 tips to get you headed in your highest and best direction:ARTArticleTroubled TimesTom Wright ARTArticleUNLIMITED THINKING: Make your thinking unlimitedAWESOME POWER We are more awesome than we often realize, and if you agree with Shakespeare you have at your fingertips an incredible thinking machine in your head. Shakespeare penned: there is nothing good or bad, except thinking makes it so. IN CHARGEr ARTArticleVisioning Your Future!Are you living your life by design or by accident? Thomas Edison said, "If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astonish ourselves." Most of us know there is more that we want to achieve in our lives, but most of us do not know where to begin.ARTArticleWeb Site Content: How It Can Make or Break Your TrafficYour web site content might be driving visitors away. How? If it's all about "you", your company, its products or services or how long you've been in business, you won't really attract website visitors who stay, much less return. So what should your website content be about? Information. What kind of information, if not about your company and it's products or services?ARTArticleWhat Can You Do With 15 Minutes?The one challenge I hear most from my clients is that they don’t have enough time in their day. However, they typically take an “all or nothing” approach to getting things done. This is unrealistic, because most of us don’t have large chunks of time available to knock out big projects in one fell swoop. A more realistic approach is to chip away at large tasks in the small bits of time we do have available (see my prior blog posting on this topic). In order to do that, we have to break projects down into smaller components first.ARTArticleWhat To Do About Shy Kids - 3 Simple TipsDo you have a child or children who are shy? Perhaps you are a teacher or a caretaker for a number of children. If this is the case, perhaps the question has crossed your mind, "What to do about shy kids?" Shyness may or may not be readily apparent in young children. Some children may cling excessively to mommy in any unfamiliar situation. Others may show no signs of shyness in early childhood, but may develop it during their growing up years.ARTArticleWhat To Do If You're Just Faking ItDo you often think you're just faking it. Not really making it? Do you worry that it's only a matter of time before everyone discovers you're a fraud? Ever want to crawl under the bed upon receiving even the slightest bit of criticism? Are you unable to move forward because you're feet are frozen in fear that you'll reveal the screw-up you really are? Do you think you just got lucky when something worked out right for you? If not, skip this article. You're doing just fine without it. Buh-bye. If so, you've got plenty of company.ARTArticleWhat's A FSBO Selling Team?You want to sell by owner to save money and time and to remain in control of the sale; however, you can utilize people in related fields to help you. When you sell by owner, you need a team: 1. A lender 2. A Title Company 3. A Home Inspector 4. An Appraiser 5. Even Brokers In the past there was little or no information to help the FSBO. Brokers held firm to charging six or seven percent commissions. Today, there’s a wealth of information available and a variety of FSBO services designed to help you save money. Before you start, learn how to sell by owner. Prepare yourself.ARTArticleWhat's A Transaction Coordinator?A real estate contract can be voided by one party missing just one deadline. The result is devastating for all parties. Many FSBOS wrongly believe once they and the buyer sign a contract it’s a done deal. No, No, and No. The contract is closed when you have a cashier check in your hand from the title company. In my thirty plus years of real estate experience, I have come to believe that a transaction coordination service is invaluable to your peace of mind and to a successful close.r ARTArticleWhen Does Enough Become Too Much?A few years ago I entered the produce section of my newly remodeled grocery store to purchase some tomatoes, only to discover that it was going to take quite an effort to fulfill my mission. The new and “improved” produce department was at least double the size of the old one, and it took me 5 minutes of intense searching to discover where the tomatoes were located. There were dozens of tables displaying bin after bin of all types of fruits and vegetables, and I became increasingly annoyed at each bin that didn’t reveal the object of my quest.ARTArticleWhen You're Feeling Stuck....Ever reached the limit of inspiration and action in your business and yet nothing seems to work? Well you are not alone. At some point many entrepreneurs feel stuck. Maybe you’ve tried every marketing technique in the book and still seen no increase in clients; or your business revenue is ticking along but you can’t step up to the next level; or you just can’t break out of trading time for money to create new income streams. It’s very frustrating when even time, money and effort fail to show any immediate results.ARTArticleWhere Do You Stand?Where exactly DO you stand? Do you know what your core values are? What are your beliefs? What are the most important principles that you operate from? Finding your answers to these questions will help shape your present and future immensely. All your decisions or choices are based on your values.ARTArticleWho Really CheatsIt seems like everyone wants to know who is more likely to cheat and what the signs are. Well the plain truth of the matter is that you absolutely have no control over the actions of another person. They will cheat if they want to. Whatever they want to do, they will do it.ARTArticleWhy I Am Not Authentic Anymore!Tom Wright In a conversation with a woman the other day, she told me that she was "authentic" when in my opinion, she was anything but. Oh, oh! What mirror was I looking into! Wow! Was that an eye opener. The third eye, for certain. That's when I realized that people (and yes, I am a 'people') often hide behind the term "authenticity" and even more importantly, I realized that horrors of horrors, that I was doing that myself!ARTArticleWhy New Year's Resolutions FailIt's that time of year again where we make a list of things to accomplish in the upcoming year. And 365 days from now, most of us will fail at achieving most of those things on that list. The reason isn't because I'm a cynic. The reason is that most New Year's resolutions aren't resolutions at all. Most New Year's resolutions are actually superficial goals like losing weight, or making more money, or finding the love of your life.
