Teams are composed of people, not parts like a machine. In fact, it is time to stop treating your body and life as parts, somehow separated into bits and pieces. If we only use our left-brain mental constructs, this is how we tend to focus. For example, traditionally we see teams in terms of strategies, tasks, and dollars-and-cents measures (“bottom line”).ARTArticleTen Steps for Making a Major Life ChangeAs human beings, we’re creatures of habit.

Let me explain this with an illustration. No client of yours will wake up in the morning thinking I want more balance in life. They need balance but they don’t necessarily want it. They may want – more time for themselves and their family, less stress from work, etc. If you send your marketing message with the slgan: More balance in life, chance is- your target market will not understand what you mean.
2. Market on a break-fix basis and forget the improve basisrARTArticleThe 5 Income Streams for One Person BusinessesMany business owners get confused as to where the money are going to come from. There are 5 different income streams and they all require different strategies to get the ball rolling:
1. One-On-One clientsr
Whether you connect with your clients face to face or on the phone, you are trading time for money as your clients pay you by the hour (or however you structure your billable time). That for a beginner is usually priced very reasonable as while the practitioner gets well known in the community (online or offline) this is the main source of income.
2. Group MeetingsARTArticleThe 5 Reasons Homepreneurs FAIL in Their BusinessI've lately been reading a lot of advice from all over the place to just think BIG enough and things will start showing up in your life.

It turns out that quite often there is either lack of marketing activities (only sales) or (which is the majority of cases) there is a lot of marketing going on and somehow the sales activities are not there. Good marketing leads to a sale but a sale happens after the sales cycle is finished.

Analogy Helps Build Self-EsteemOne important concept, that helps you have a healthy sense of self-acceptance and self-esteem, is the knowledge that you are perfect, right now, just the way you are. This is true regardless of your problems, early childhood issues, body, I.Q., mistakes, etc. Consider a new definition of perfection which includes all of your imperfections. This is an important seed thought to hold in your mind as you go forward in life growing into your full potential Self. Accepting the truth of your beauty and perfection is best illustrated by looking at an acorn.ARTArticleThe Art of Non-AttachmentAttachment to anyone or anything betrays an underlying belief that there is not enough of the "good stuff" in the world. Being overly attached is a signpost of our fear that we might lose whatever good we tenuously have. But it rarely serves you well to hang on tight, attempting to keep whatever fragment of good is left in a life based on lack. Hanging on too tight constricts the flow of creativity, joy, appreciation, and most especially, peace.ARTArticleThe BeachYou look toward the horizon and you see a glimpse of the water.

She said: "Until you know what's important to you, you'll never be able to tell what's necessary and what's a distraction."

“Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.” ~John F. Kennedy.
Every “group” goes through a similar progression of four stages in its development and maturity:
• Stage One: Members start out interacting with superficial “cocktail chitchat,” warming things up as an introduction of what is to come.
• Stage Two: Then the conversations eventually switch to deeper subject matter conce
s and issues, like the purpose of the group and how to proceed with that purpose and other related topics.ARTArticleThe Corporate Shaman Way - Path to a Changed World Living with Soul, Solving our problems, Being a change agent… by Bill O’Mara PhDThe Corporate Shaman Way - Path to a Changed World Living with Soul, Solving our problems, Being a change agent…
