The Man in the Mirror


There are only two pains we will suffer from in life: discipline or regret. Just in case you are wondering, the first one is the better one.

The more focused we are on achieving our goals and positive results, the more likely we will achieve them.

Self-improvement, self-management, self-discipline are all words that redirect the focus from others to ourselves. Not a lot of fun....
It is simply so much easier for all of us to think other people need to change and that it's not necessary for us to change.

We like to think that we legends in our own minds.
We like to think that our opinion is the only one that matters.
We like to think that we are always 100 % on top of things.

How many of us are really willing and ready to face the truth?

Our Next FREE Workshop is on November 19, 2009

We have scheduled our next workshop "Layoff During Difficult Times - The End or a New Beginning?"

Did you lose your job?
Are you fearful and stuck, looking for guidance?
Are you ready to be pro-active and make a plan for your life?
Do you need help identifying and setting your goals?
Do you want a confidence boost and create more self-awareness?
Do you know someone who lost their job recently?
Do you want to move forward and find the right job for YOU?
Are you thinking about self-employment?

We can help! We provide a supportive and positive learning environment and empower people to achieve their full potential and realize their dreams. It is all about taking action and taking 100 % responsibility for your life and for your results!

Sometimes it's tough to stay positive considering all the fears and insecurities we have to deal with. However, we have learned from own experience that attitude is everything and it is our goal to communicate to YOU how you can turn a positive outlook in your job search into action.

Come and join us! It's time to sign up.....

Our commitment to you is to give you positive energy, a lot of new ideas and a fantastic workshop without any investment for you, except your time. If you give us your commitment to participate, please do not let anything prevent you from attending. It will be well worth your time and effort.

This attitude alone will separate you from others who are looking a job. I firmly believe, how you do anything is how you do everything!

"The only things that stand between a person and what they want in life are the will to try it, and the faith to believe it's possible."

Ready, set, go.....


Last weekend I participated in a halfmarathon and my goal was to run a PB (personal best) and ...... I did. I was # 9 out of 64 women in my age group. I like to run half-marathons despite the fact that I am a marathon runner as it gives me a good opportunity to work on my speed but I still get a great endurance workout at the same time.

I always set an ambitious goal before I enter the race because the sense of accomplishment and fulfillment I feel after passing the finish line is worth every minute of suffering and pain during the race.

I really do compare marathon running very much to running my own business. I would say that there are a lot of the same qualities required and sometimes when the going gets tough, you cannot let it go and you have to keep going in order to get what you want.

My secret recipe for my strength in my personal and professional journey as well as a marathon runner is my positive attitude with a lot of SPICE. Spice stands for self-discipline, persistence, integrity, courage, and energy.

If you can work on these attributes EVERYTHING in life is possible.
