- Be the fittest, most rested, most intelligent, best funded and motivated person
One of the best reads I do each morning is marketing guru Seth Godin.
As I continually learn how to write copy for my different blogs, sales letters, and clients, more and more I am turned off by the conventional idea to sell with hyperbole.
Seth’s post this morning sums up my feelings very well…
Here it is…

- Happiness is Creating Your Life!
For years I have been writing about happiness. What it is, where to find it, how to keep it, and how to share it.
The more time goes by, the more certain I am happiness is what we all really want.
And I also believe the more we all tie happiness to having money, the less happy [...]

- Seth Godin on Excellence
If you are thinking about changing careers - or partners for that matter - this post from Seth Godin is well worth reading…
In the last few days, I’ve heard from top students at Cornell and other universities about my internship.
It must have been posted in some office or on a site, because each of the [...]

- Why You Should Be Successful and Happy…
John Carlton is a very good copywriter - and has posted a great column linked here:
http://www.john-carlton.com/2007/12/27/the-dark-side-of-passion/
This is an excerpt I particularly liked.
***************************************************************
You can set an example, by tending your own garden and living life as well as you can. (And I’ve always believed that is part of the job of the entrepreneur… to engage [...]

- [Find Happiness->home] Yet? How Do You Know?
On a scale on 1-10 (10 being deliriously happy) just how much do you feel happiness on a daily level?
We all understand happiness ebbs and flows, but some people are definitely more happy on average than others. This is fascinating and worth a look.
Another interesting question to ask is: What is the happiness level you [...]

- Where Do We Really [Find Happiness?->http://bedohaveu.com/blog/find-happiness-personally-and-in-business]
"If I could only figure this out, I think I could find happiness" my friend said during a recent conversation. This is not the first time, nor will it be the last that I hear this statement.
Too often people believe that finding happiness is as simple as finding something else they want. In my [...]

- How Often Do You Change?
I love change. Maybe it is just doing something new, or being in a new place, or the excitement of new challenges, but change has always been an integral part of life for me.
Four years ago in February, we purchased a house and ten acres of land with the intention of fulfilling a goal to [...]

- Personal Development Training Is Where I Want To Be
Part of the ongoing search as an entrepreneur is to find exactly what your clients crave - and give it to them.
Like personal development training.

- Finding happiness your own way…
I have been talking a lot about the way I find happiness in my life. A few have shared their ideas of what happiness is to them, but I would love to hear more!
There is a great post here on three simple ways (depending on how you define simple!) to live a great life,
and more [...]

- Other bloggers create happiness too…
Bloggers have a thing called blogging carnivals - where a bunch of bloggers add their posts to one site.
We do that for a couple of reasons:
a) We get links to other sites that help our search engine rankings.
b) It allows others who might not see our blogs to visit us.
c) It gets us out into [...]

- Happiness is Change (for me)
When I began writing articles and sending them out seven years ago, who would have thought there would be a thing called ‘blogging’ and a whole new world opening up of earning an income using a medium called the internet?
Just to be sure there is no misunderstanding here, I am not saying the internet is [...]

- Happiness and the Mexican villager
I love this story of the Mexican villager and the American Investment banker,
probably because I relate so much to it! Enjoy it!
++++++++++++++++++++++++
The American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one
fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellow-fin tuna. The American [...]

- Power of Vision
An article I wrote about the power of vision has been posted here on
the www.empoweringmessages.com website.
Vision continues to be the most powerful tool available to us and the
one we have to work hardest to use.
Get help finding vision in my book available here.
I am working on an online version soon to be released.

- How Good Do We Have To Be?
The following is a quote from a great book How Good Do We Have To Be? by Harold S. Kushner:
_______________________________________________________________________
“When we do something wrong, because we are human and our choices are so complicated and temptation so strong, we do not lose our humanity. However, we do lose our integrity, our sense of wholeness, of being [...]

- Well I’ll be…
I was showing my sister what a blog was and how it worked - so I put in a nonsense post to show her how easy it was to do.
I completely forgot posts go out automatically! duh. My apologies. So let’s write a real one…
In the last month several people have asked about the best [...]

- Working Within Your Comfort Zone?
Speaking of work and the reasons for it brought a flood of comments. Obviously this is something many of us think about a lot.
Part of the coaching strategies I always employ and fervently believe in is holding a very clearly defined personal vision of the future. Once a vision is known it is relatively easy [...]

- Why Are We (You) Really Working?
I have spent a lot of time lately thinking about why we work and it’s relationship to happiness. Yes I know it is to get money - and for a very special few there is that satisfaction of working just because they absolutely love what they are doing.
However we are talking about the mainstream and [...]

- Learning to let go
One of the challenges I have found in entrepreneurs (which includes me) is the ability to let go. We tend to want to do everything ourselves.
Either we think it is the only way to get it done correctly, or that we can do it quicker, better, or cheaper.
That is crazy. We are just control freaks!
What [...]
