What is the Secret of Success?

February 4, 2015 by Justin

What is the secret of success?  Simple enough or is it?  Then, why do so many people have difficulty answering the question?  There is an implication that if you say no that you are a failure.  So what!  In order to succeed, you have to fail.  All successful people failed at one time or another.  What makes them successful is they kept trying to ...

Are you working on your Soft Skills?

January 30, 2015 by Justin

If your soft skills are not up to snuff, you better work on them! If you are a doctor, dentist or surgeon, your technical skills could mean life or death!  Does it matter, if these individuals treat you well?  Soft skills are personality traits, social graces, communication, language, personal habits, friendliness and optimism that characterize ...

Do You Have a Plan?

January 28, 2015 by Justin

Do you have a plan? I plan starting with the end or outcome. Would you buy an airline ticket without knowing the destination?  Would you get on a bus, if you did not know where it was going?  Many young people enter college for all the wrong reasons. A college degree opens up doors, but it is what you do with it that matters!  Some day you will ...

Cheap or Frugal, which Are You?

January 26, 2015 by Justin

Rich people are cheap! I normally avoid generalizations, but here a few examples to prove my point. J. Paul Getty, a certified oil billionaire had a pay telephone in his home, Warren Buffet drives a Cadillac (replaced his 8 year old car last year), and Donald Trump has his wife cut his hair.  Sure, you do not have to be rich to be cheap or frugal. ...

What is Prosperity and how do you get there?

January 21, 2015 by Justin

Economic prosperity is not really a road!  In fact, it may not be much more than a path.  It is not a location and it can only lead you to a goal.  It is filled with many curves, dead ends, U-turns, attractions, amusements, distractions and pitfalls. Google or Yahoo maps will not help you get there!  It starts with a goal and a plan.  It is taking ...

Annual Checkup – Your Financial Health

January 19, 2015 by Justin

Is your financial health important to you? If your answer is no, stop here! I learned a long time ago that I cannot influence everyone so I focus on the people who realize that my information is important to them. An annual checkup involves a physical examination, laboratory tests, vital signs and monitor any changes in health. An examination of ...

Negotiating Is Easy!
