How to Survive Sea Trouble - Sea Survival Course

By John Branson

Article published by Pastor-Genève bvba

Sea survival training is essential for anyone that spends any amount of time on the water. So, when was the last time you traveled the high seas? Was it on a cruise, deep sea diving or was it just a fishing trip? Back in the old days, the exploration of new lands was carried out by sea, and on many an occasion a captain, his crew and ship have been known to meet their end due to the treachery of the storm, wind and waves.

Yet in there being no guarantees, there are a few tips that can help you survive sea trouble, and this is what we will discuss here.

Before you leave shore

Storing a backpack in the life raft with items such as a compass, sea navigational map, portable CB units for communication purposes, first aid supplies, battery operated lighting, extra batteries (of course), mirrors to use as reflective devices, a rain suit, blankets, sunscreen, clothing, matches and medicines would turn out to be more than useful in a lost-at-sea emergency.

After your vessel has sunk

Which brings us to the part where your vessel has sunk, and you have no option but to bail. What does one do and need in these circumstances?

First, it is vital that you paddle in the opposite direction of the sinking water vessel as quickly as you can. However, once you are able to get out of the natural suction of water that will take the sinking vessel down to its watery grave, you should then allow the life raft to drift - at least until you can find land. However, this is only when there is a strong sea current that can move the boat along at a reasonable pace. A compass and navigational map can also come in very handy at this point.

While you’re on the raft

Finding land can sometimes take more than two or three days when you’re at the mercy of the seas, so you’re not going to find supermarkets along the way for your precious bottles of water. In this situation, water is more precious than food. Now, since sea water is saline, it isn’t healthy to drink. So, a bucket or a tarp can be useful to collect rain water (which is your only source of fresh water here).

Since some people can be on the raft for days before finding land, another survival technique is to find help from fellow-sailors or from aircraft flying overhead through the method of signaling.

Try to use any mirrors, reflective tape, flares, and other eye-catching materials that you can find to catch the attention of those around you. And well, keep your fingers crossed!

Choosing a Legitimate Company to Work With

By Mac Chucks

When choosing the company that you plan to work for, there are several things that need to be thought of before deciding. One thing is the amount of money that you may be able to make with the company. The next thing is how are the other people who work for the company? Are they professional? Are they honest and hardworking? Since there are so many different types of people in the world, putting them into categories is not possible.

When trying to choose the right company to work for, many problems arise when the people who work there cannot seem to get along. There are always people in every company that are difficult to work for, and put added stress on the company. Although they may be excellent workers, their people skills often need a lot of improvement. When you have to deal with these types of people on a daily basis it can make your job much harder, and make you think of quitting.

Choosing a company to work for can be a challenge. You have to find out all that you can about the company before deciding on getting a job there. Find out if the company is trustworthy, and if they have been in business for a while. Find out what types of benefits they offer, and how much the monthly premiums are. This will give you an idea of how much health care will cost you each month. See if they have benefits for family, and if so, how much more does it cost each month? Find out if they offer a 401K plan, and ask how much they put into the plan for their employees.

You should see how many other employees they have, and how many people you would be working with everyday. Hopefully, the people that you will be working with are hard workers who always come to work on time, and give their all to the job. You can only really know this after you have begun to work.

If you choose a company to work for, and you have problems with one or more of the employees, try talking to them. Sometimes, just telling someone what he or she is doing that is counterproductive to the team may be all that it takes for him or her to become organized. If this doesn’t work, try going to the boss. Although you don’t want to be labeled a snitch, when it is making your job too hard to do, you have to take measures to remedy the situation. This can put you in an awkward position, but sometimes this is the only way to handle the situation.

Choosing the right company to work for involves getting to know the company and its employees. You want a company that has the same ideals as you, and you want to work with people who you can trust, and that you like to work with everyday. When problems arise, often talking about the problem calmly can make a big difference.

Top Five Accounting Careers

By Davy Reiner

If number crunching is second nature to you, an accounting career may be just right for you! Among other things, an accounting career also puts you in the position of ensuring that your company is in line with the latest developments in tax and financial laws.

Charting a career path down the accounting road is a lucrative and rewarding option for many. Tax and financial laws keep changing all the time - and it is one of the responsibilities of an accountant to make sure that his company matches their financial management style to comply with these laws.

However, within the scope of accounting careers, there are several options that you can pursue - sort of like a specialization within the specialization. The top five accounting career options are: becoming a staff accountant, or an internal auditor, or an external auditor, or a compliance executive, and finally a financial analyst.

Staff accountants are amongst the top most career options available in accounting careers. Staff accountants are the key people maintaining the accounts within an organization. They process the basic information right from journal entries and assist with creating the different financial reports required for businesses. Staff accountants also need to have basic and working knowledge of the different laws and compliance requirements. Usually, a staff accountant has a Bachelor’s Degree and has experience in public accounting. The salaries on offer may range from approximately $41,000 to $52,000.

Internal auditors should ideally be Certified Internal Auditors, along with having a Bachelor’s Degree and up to 2 years of work experience in a relevant field. The Internal Auditor performs important functions like controlling costs and meeting compliance requirements. An Internal Auditor is also responsible for maintaining operations efficiency, reliability of financial reporting, along with fraud determination and investigation. They can also advise the Board of Directors on how to better execute their responsibilities. Salaries on offer for Internal Auditors may range from approximately $77,000 to $101,000.

External Auditors are usually people from outside the company who inspect a company’s accounts and records and make required recommendations. External Auditors report on whether a company’s accounts are maintained correctly and not fraudulent. These are independent people who perform an exhaustive appraisal of a company’s accounting processes, procedures and records. An External Auditor garners a lot of respect from his colleagues and peers. Salaries for an External Auditor range from approximately $48,000 to $63,000.

A Compliance Executive will ensure that a company is following the different guidelines laid down by the law in maintaining their accounting processes and records. A Compliance Executive also helps companies in the process of achieving compliance with the different legislations in effect. The Compliance Executives report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Salaries for Compliance Executives usually start at approximately $111,000 and may go on to $180,000 - depending upon the size of the company.

4 Strategies For Getting the Interview

By Jason Mannino

This is the first in a series of articles that will draw deeply on my ten years of Talent Acquisition (recruiting) work for Fortune 500 companies throughout the entertainment and staffing industries. It is my intention for these articles to support you with real, hands-on information. I intend to draw on my experience in the trenches as a recruiter or my personal success as a job hunter. This first article outlines a couple of assertive techniques that will ask you to generate courage and confidence to take action that will help you successfully distinguish yourself from the hundreds of other applicants currently in the talent pool. However, I caution you to only execute these techniques if you are indeed very qualified for the job! Although my experience is at very large companies I assert that these techniques will work well when approaching smaller companies.

1. Stop sending your resume/profile and start having conversations

In the current employment climate I encourage you to take a more active role in your search and stop sending your resume to every Tom, Dick, Harry, and job posting you see on the internet. You may not realize it, but as soon as you submit your resume to a company you also put your career in their hands. Therefore, when you see a posting at a company that interests you, ask yourself if you have a way in other than your resume. Perhaps there is someone in your network that works for the company who you can ask to e-mail or hand your resume to the hiring manager. If you don’t know anyone then do the research to find out who to talk to (with sites like linkedin.com this isn’t as hard as you might think). Send them a brief (perhaps two paragraph) intro telling them why you are the solution they need and let them know that you will be calling to follow up in a couple of days. Recruiters don’t want to hear this, but (if and only if you are indeed well qualified for the opportunity) one of your best ways in is through direct contact with a hiring manager. On many occasions I have met with hiring managers to discuss new openings and have been given direct leads to candidates who had made contact with them.

2. Use the telephone

I know this seems archaic in our age of technology. However, rather than leave your career up to cyberspace I encourage you to do some groundwork, figure out who to contact, and muster up the courage to make the phone call (if and only if you are indeed well qualified for the position). When you do get the hiring manager on the phone you should be prepared with a solid twenty second pitch as to why you are the solution to their problem. Then make an agreement to submit your resume directly to them along with submitting it online. Let them know that you will call to follow up in a couple of days and how much you appreciate their time. Alternatively, if you have submitted your resume online and you know you are a great candidate for the position call within one week to follow up on the status of the position. Tell them why you are someone they would want to meet and that you would like to interview for the position. Many job postings say not to call. However, if you take a strategic approach to this, understand the line between making a phone call and being a stalker, and you are indeed a solid candidate for the job than you are doing the recruiter or hiring manager a favor. In my busy recruiting days it was a service to me when a qualified candidate whose resume I had not yet seen would call to follow up. If time allowed I would open their resume immediately. If they were a great candidate, I would get very excited and start asking questions right away or schedule a better time for an interview.

3. Do your research early

If you are contacted by a company you should be prepared by having conducted some initial research. It should answer the following questions:

a) What does the company do/offer?
b) What is their market position and who are their competitors
c) company structure
d) company financials
e) your understanding of the job based on the description.

Most, if not all of this information is readily available on the internet. You may not be asked questions that illustrate this knowledge if they are simply calling to schedule a meeting. Nonetheless, you will be prepared.

4. Be the solution

It is not a secret that many organizations are currently struggling. Hence, more than anything, even more than your actual skill set, companies are looking to hire you as a solution to their problems. What’s the problem? Figuring out how to save or generate more money. One way to clearly differentiate yourself from other candidates is to illustrate that you are the solution to this problem. You want to have clear examples of how you helped address a company’s bottom line on your resume and be ready to talk about them as soon as your first conversation. This may seem challenging if you are not directly in sales, finance or accounting. Here are some examples:

Marketing: How can you quantify leads that got generated through marketing campaigns you executed? How can you quantify money you saved or helped generate based on your marketing analysis.

Product Development What kind of revenue was generated by new product launches?

Project Management How can you quantify in a dollar amount time you saved on a project?

Administrative Perhaps you supported a boss who was a key player in the sales department and can illustrate how you provided the expertise to help a system run more efficiently, which saved your boss more time to go out and close additional sales.

These techniques can be daunting for some. However, the courage you need to take assertive action in alignment with your desire to get back work is right within you! It is your vision coupled with action that will help bring your career back into reality!

Job Interview Questions - What to Say in a Medical Sales Interview

By Peggy McKee

Interview preparation in any industry requires that you know what questions are likely to be asked so that you can formulate answers ahead of time, and rehearse your delivery. Typical interview questions and the kind of answers hiring managers are looking for are widely available online with just a little effort, even if you are interviewing for a sales job. But, medical sales interviews can involve more specialized questions than an average sales job, depending on the area you’re in (laboratory, clinical diagnostics, biotechnology, imaging, pathology, hospital equipment, surgical supplies, medical device, or pharmaceutical), although the sales process is generally the same-the difference is in the details. And the details can be taken care of by careful research of the company and its products, goals, and culture.

Questions:

1. Are you in the right location? Will they have to relocate you? Are you even willing to move?

2. Can you travel? Most sales jobs require traveling to customers throughout your region, and medical sales are no exception.

3. Do you have the requirements? What experience/training/education do you have that qualifies you for this job?

4. Do you have the BS degree? Is it in the life sciences? A Life Science degree isn’t always necessary, but a background in chemistry or biology does help. If you don’t have the degree: if you can show specific classes you took in those areas, it increases your chances because it demonstrates some knowledge in the medical arena.

5. What have you done to prepare for this type of opportunity? Hint: Don’t say “nothing”….talk about the sales books you’ve read, the training you’ve taken, the ride-alongs you’ve done with reps in the field, and the information-gathering interviews you’ve done.

6. What are your strengths? Weaknesses? Focus your “strengths” answer to those actual strengths you have that will be a benefit in this job. Candidates usually answer the “weaknesses” with something that isn’t, like “I just work too hard,” but you could go the refreshingly honest route of naming an actual weakness that you, naturally, have already taken steps to overcome.

7. Where do you want to be in 5 years? What are you looking for?

8. How do others describe you? Before you get to the interview, ask a few friends that very question. It may surprise you, and it may give you a fantastic answer. No matter what, though, have the presence of mind to limit your “description” to qualities that would be great in a medical sales rep: energetic, smart, ambitious, dependable, a team player, a leader, loves people, loves technology, fascinated by medical breakthroughs, likes helping others, competitive, loves to travel, etc. They don’t need to know about how much you love your yoga classes, paintball weekends, or your staunch conservatism/liberalism.

9. Who would serve as your references? Be very sure that you know what your references will say about you. When you call to give them a heads up, take that opportunity to coach them on tailoring their answer to what will be the most effective for this particular job.

10. How do you handle conflict? Here’s where you give an example from your past about something that happened with a co-worker or customer, and how you successfully negotiated an agreement that everyone was happy with. Use the STAR approach to answering: State the Situation, the Task that was at hand, the Approach you took, and the Results you got.

11. What would you do…then they give you a tough sales scenario? This is a classic behavioral interview question. If you can, bring it around to something similar that did happen, and what you did about it.

12. How would you build your market? This is an excellent opportunity to introduce your 30/60/90-day sales plan, which you create out of your research on the company and the position. It’s your “to do” list for exactly what you will do during your first 3 months of employment to learn your job, learn your customers, and build your market to increase sales.

For all these questions, the key is to listen, clarify, answer and then ask how they would answer that question. You can learn a lot-which will either impress them with your initiative and willingness to learn, or give you something you can use for your next interview.

3 Key Secrets to Help You Break Through Any Mental Barrier

By Monique Gallagher

Imagine that you’re tied up, placed on a chair and locked in an airtight room. You don’t know who did this to you or why but you know you’re trapped.

This may sound fictional but it’s not. This is exactly what we do to ourselves when we let our unconscious feelings, beliefs and history dominate our thoughts, our actions and then our life results.

Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try and break old patterns and beliefs, something gets in the way? Have you tried certain programs, techniques or exercises only to fall back to you old ways? If you have, it’s not your fault. You are fighting against programming, unconscious memories and cellular memories.

Breaking out of your own personal prison isn’t easy but there are three key proven strategies to help you free yourself. Here are three of the best ways to remove those blocks and barriers:

1. Coaching: Coaching is a relatively new profession that really became popular in the 1980s. Although history shows that we have always had some kind of coach, often it was in the sporting arena but now, we have coaches that help us reach our highest potential in our careers, our relationships, with our money, community, spirituality and more.

Coaches help us discover what may be holding us back from having a successful life and business. They find out what is and isn’t working, what our goals and dreams are and they help hold us accountable as we often have to report to them and keep them informed of our decisions and actions.

If you feel like you are hitting a barrier or have blocks, it’s important to seek coaching to help you deal with these obvious or hidden issues. What makes coaches different from counselors is that coaches focus more on the ‘here and now’ and what you plan to do to change your future if you are not happy with your present results.

Monique Gallagher of: Highest Potential Training, is an expert at helping people break through barriers and limitations to live a full, energized and purposeful life.

Sometimes, though, there are situations that are too traumatic or can’t be solved with just coaching alone. Sometimes these mental challenges are triggered by physical problems in the body. And, often these physical problems are triggered by emotional part of the brain.

While coaching is very effective, there is also another scientifically-proven technique that can enhance the coaching process and even speed up the results. It is called Emotional Freedom Technique and it is quickly becoming a major force with health practitioners.

2. Emotional Freedom Technique: is a fairly new discovery that combines mind body medicine and the ancient practice of acupuncture without the needles.

The reason EFT works is that the body runs on energy. And within the body are energy meridians where nerves send signals from the body to the brain. When you put your hand on a hot element on a stove, it doesn’t take long for the pain sensors to travel up the energy meridian to the brain where the brain processes the feeling, determines this is pain and danger and you promptly remove your hand.

New research is proving that the cells store memories and trauma at the cellular level. In fact, disease is considered to be a ‘body not at ease.’ Disease is now being proved to be caused from many triggers but trauma to the cells is the key factor.

When a traumatic situation occurs - we generally react in a negative way and trigger negative energy. Our brain releases stress hormones directly into our bloodstream. We also tighten up parts of our body and hold on to the stress.

For example, if you’re driving your car down a freeway and suddenly a car careens into your lane without warning and you are forced to swerve your car abruptly to avoid an accident, your brain reacts, stress hormones are released, your stomach muscles tighten, your mouth gets dry and you react - trying to get out of the way. The emotions stay with you for several hours, days or longer depending on the severity of the event and your interpretation.

If you are survivor of abuse, you’ll store the pain in your body in such areas as: the heart, stomach or muscles.

If feelings and stress stay in the body and aren’t released, toxins build, muscles constrict, blood flow constricts and you have the beginning of disease.

EFT is a useful tool to incorporate into a coaching program to clear cell level memories, which if unresolved, can also create beliefs such as: “I’m not good enough,” “I don’t deserve success,” or “Who am I to be successful?” These are the blockers which may come up and are unconscious habit patterns that may sabotage our success.

When you’re healthy, relaxed and unstressed, you radiate success and generate more success.

Emotional Freedom Technique is not a New Age scam - it is a detailed groundbreaking proven science. A recent study was done that included 5000 patients who had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and were treated with a tapping technique on the body.

People with EFT recovered much more quickly than the other test subjects who didn’t receive the treatment. 76% of patients were completely cured from EFT compared to 50% with conventional techniques.

To sum it up, EFT is like energy acupuncture - you tap into thoughts and feelings and move them through your body and release tension and toxins that are lying dormant in your cells. EFT removes the emotional part of the memory and makes thoughts benign. EFT isn’t 100% effective and other things may need to be done but it can make a difference with many situations.

Once the physical remnants of your thoughts are removed, you can start to consciously rewrite what happened. The emotion and negative charge is removed and you can reprogram yourself to be successful.

Emotional Freedom technique uses physical tapping with your fingers. Tapping is done with the fingers slightly curved and you use the finger tips and tap both sides of your body at the same time.

It’s important to have a glass of water ready as you may feel a slight headache while or after your practice a session. As toxins are released, they may cause you to feel a little disoriented; this is not a bad thing - it means toxins are leaving their ’stuck points.’

Emotional Freedom Technique can be enhanced greatly if you add essential oils to your practice. In fact, essential oils have been used for thousands of years to calm, clean, and heal the body.

What are essential oils?

3. Essential Oils: Essential oils have been used for thousands of years and they are oils that are derived from flowers, leaves, roots of plants. They contain volatile aroma compounds and have distinctive scents and healing properties.

They are generally extracted with distillation or pressing and are often used in perfumes, cosmetics, flavoring, incense, cosmetics and cleaning products.

Interest in essential oils has always been there but in recent years, aromatherapy has become ‘mainstream’ and has been used in alternative medicine.

Due to the concentration of the oils, they are generally diluted with a carrier oil such as: sweet almond oil so they don’t burn the skin. There are few pure oils you can place directly on the skin; Lavender is an oil you can place on your skin and this oil has been known to promote the healing of wounds and help with stress and sleep problems.

Oils are volatilized or diluted in a carrier oil and used in massage, diffused in the air by heating over a candle flame, or burned as incense, for example. Essential oils hold many properties and can also be enhanced synergistically by combining one or more oils for a medical procedure, massage or cleaning.

Emotions are stored in the limbic part of the brain which is also where memories are housed. If you breathe in essential oils, they have compounds that increase the oxygen flow to this region of the brain and they help you release endorphins which make you feel calm and relaxed. Hormones and enzymes are also released and this can unlock blockages in our glands and organs which in turn, release emotional baggage which was held at the cellular level.

The chemical structure of essential oils in adaptable and synergistic with our cells and we can easily absorb it so this is why these oils can work quickly on us.

If you are thinking about using Emotional Freedom Technique and essential oils, you need to know that there are certain oils that are more powerful for releasing emotions when you start tapping.

There is a line of essential oils called: Young Living and the blends help release blocked feelings and aid healing in the body and mind. The ‘Feelings Kit’ has oil blends called: Valor, Acceptance, Inner Child and more. If you would like to know what oils are best to use with Emotional Freedom Technique, email Monique at: Monique@Highest-Potential.com

How do you use the essential oils and Emotional Freedom Technique?

First, be sure you have a quiet, relaxing place to do your exercise. Next, make sure you have a glass of water nearby as you’ll be releasing built up toxins and may get thirsty.

Next, you want to use a statement when you are tapping. This way, you’ll address the mental/emotional center of your brain and replace negative emotions with positive ones while you tap your body.

The statement that works best is:

“Even though I have this ___________________ I deeply and completely love and accept myself.”

You may fill it the blanks with anything like: money problem, problem with procrastination, problem with overeating, problem with being rude - you get the idea.

Once you know what you want to say, place your fingertips in some essential oil and then start at the top of body. For this exercise, we will only focus on your face. If you study EFT in detail, it also addresses the rest of your body.

Futile Persistence - How Do You Know When to Stop?

By Jennifer Herndon

Article published by A Forever Recovery

Our society doesn’t appear to reward persistence these days. Everything happens fast. Dinner at the drive-thru in five minutes. Or from the freezer to the microwave to the table in about the same time.

You barely have to stop your car to accomplish your daily tasks. We have drive-thru everything — banks, cleaners, and pharmacies — to mention a few. And what would we do if we couldn’t pay at the pump?

Maybe this is why most all online businesses fail. We expect success now. But the one thing that separates the few who succeed from the many who don’t is simple persistence.

Just as crucial as the activity of persistence, is the fact that your persistence must be disciplined, not random. You must have the right road map to get you to success or you can persist all your life without the results you want.

This sounds great — and works great — most of the time. But we’ve all had days when personal development “theory” is way out of sync with our “reality.” Because even when you have the right road map, there are bound to be lane closures and detours along the way. So what do you do about those?

I tend to be a perfectionist, and am always tinkering with my blogs and websites to make them look better. A major problem with my efforts is that I’m very “right-brained,” so the technical side of things often proves to be more than challenging for me.

More than once, I’ve felt like I’ve driven smack into a dead end with no warning sign. There are some things I just can’t figure out. And I have the best road map for the technically challenged. I have step-by-step video tutorials on how to do everything. I’ve also found that you can get the answer to about any issue you run into by “Googling it,” if you have the time.

So there are times when I’ve spent hours learning to accomplish something that is probably pathetically easy. Like correctly adding pictures and videos to my blog posts. The glory I feel when I accomplish something like that after much frustration is always worth it.

But what about the times when you try and you try, and suddenly, it’s 3:00 a.m. and you still haven’t figured it out? The frustration these times bring equals the triumphant feeling of accomplishment. Ugh.

These few precious hours could have been productive, I tell myself. I’ve just accomplished absolutely nothing. But, when it pays off, you’ve learned a new skill that you keep for a lifetime. And that’s priceless.

No matter how good your road map is, no one can ever anticipate all of the detours and lane closures you may encounter on the way to success. For online business owners, that means we will always have unanswered questions and challenges.

So if you know your road map is good, how do you know when your persistence is futile? How do you know when giving up now prevents you from mastering a new skill? Maybe 10 more minutes of persistence would have done it?

I’m not sure you ever know. That’s why persistent people struggle to the point of feeling we’re about to lose our minds.

In an effort not to lose my mind, I’ve settled on this process when I hit a bump in my road to success:

1. Evaluate the problem. How likely is it that you can solve this yourself? Do you have good options for finding a solution? If not, don’t persist at all. Wait until you can contact your mentors/friends for help.

2. If it looks like you should be able to figure it out, decide how much time you will spend figuring it out. Consider:

* how much time you have,
* how much it would cost to hire someone to solve the problem (time is money), and
* how valuable the new skill will be to you on your road to success.

3. Spend only the amount of time you’ve decided on trying to solve the problem.

4. If you don’t figure it out, move on to something productive. Don’t throw your hands up in frustration and dive into your email inbox. Do something that you know you will move your business forward. This way, even though your problem still exists, you’ve taken positive action that you can feel good about.

Crisis - Really?

By Andre Stoelinga

The news about the so called crisis just does not stop. Every day we are confronted with it on the news and in the papers. Everyone is talking about it and everyone is scared for their jobs or to lose their house.

Many think that people are being scared by all the commotion. It’s almost like a panic wave throughout the globe. But how much of this actually affects the normal people living in your street ? We all understand one would be afraid to lose the job, because companies are very careful with expanding and investments. We also know people cannot get a mortgage for a new house that easily at the moment.

Would it be possible for the normal people to make the economy roll again like it did a year ago ? How can we convince everyone that the crisis is not as bad as the media make it look ? Some say that we can overcome this by living our lives more or less like we did before this worldwide problem. For some this will be easier than for others, but it’s possible to give the economy a slight boost by continuing to spend money. Any money spent will help. That doesn’t mean we should all start spending money like mad, but perhaps people shouldn’t be too careful. When the cash flow stops the economy stops.

Companies could cut down on expenses for marketing and research for example and focus on continueing to sell their products using different strategies. Play with special offers and lower prices on certain services. Anything to make sure people WILL spend money, because we all know everyone will spend money easier when a product or service is cheaper than it was.

You Are Your Own Economy

By Giulietta Nardone

Most of us have been taught to believe the economy is something only experts can “fix.” Witness large segments of the US population wandering around in a funk, feeling frightened, feeling depressed, wondering how and when our president & the head of the treasury will rescue us.

I too used to believe I had no control over the economy.

Then it dawned on me that I am my own economy. That the economy isn’t out there, it’s inside of me. It’s how I feel about myself and the greatness I have to offer.

To make your own economy you need to look within yourself for the greatness you were put on the planet to share, the how-to knowledge that others crave. Once you can discover and release that greatness, you’ll have everything you need to make your own economy.

I liken finding your own economy to the journey Dorothy takes in the, “The Wizard of Oz.” Dorothy spends most of her “story” looking outside herself for ways to get home. She believes she is powerless, that only others hold the power to get her back to Kansas. She spends a lot of time hanging out with others who also feel powerless. Then towards the end of the movie when Dorothy thinks she’s missed the last way home, she asks, Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, to help her. Glinda says:

“You don’t need to be helped any longer. You’ve always had the power to go back to Kansas.”

“I have?” says Dorothy.

“Then why didn’t you tell her before?” demands the scarecrow.

“Because she wouldn’t have believed me. She had to learn it for herself.”

It’s the same with the economy. You have to learn for yourself that you’ve always had the power to make your own economy. You have to find your inner ruby business slippers and click them together three times.

A great idea can make some real difference in the lives of other people including your own. However, before you turn your idea into a profit making venture, never forget to obtain a patent right.
