Do You Have A Google Habit?
Chris McElroy

This Google obsession borders on lunacy. Webmasters seem to be convinced that without a good ranking in Google and without Google's seal of approval and page rank, they cannot be successful on the web. Let's think about that for a moment. If Google folded tomorrow (not likely) what would you do?

The Secret to Home Business Success
Daniel Hatchell

Many people have tried to succeed in home based businesses and in terms of success there are three general categories that can be used. First, there are people that are failures.

If you run a business, chances are you might think about a cash loan. This might mean an unsecured business line of credit or a loan that has payments each month or any other form of cash loan. Regardless of the type of loan, you will have to think of it sometime in your business career because it can make all the difference in your profits or possibly, its collapse.

ARTICLES for LEADERSHIP

Developing an Attitude of Gratitude
Wendy Betterini

What does gratitude really mean? Most of us are thankful for the blessings we have in our lives. We have families we love, jobs that help us provide the necessities of daily living, good health, friends to laugh and play with, freedom and Free Will to live our lives the way we want to. Most of us are very grateful for these blessings, but how often do we stop to focus and reflect on that? Why is Gratitude even important?

Enlightened Leadership: Fact Or Fiction?
Harald Anderson

In the past leadership was usually perceived as authoritative. However, management studies over the years have demonstrated very clearly that people are much more productive when they are treated with respect. The sad fact remains that our workplace is plagued with three serious problems namely high stress, low morale and lack of job satisfaction. Such situations are clearly a result of autocratic styles of leadership.

How to Successfully Overcome Life's Challenges
Gabriel Adams

The first step in dealing with any challenge is to recognize the issue. Recognizing a challenge isn't so hard with some issues. For example, you don't need to do a lot of soul searching to realize next month's rent is due and you don't have the money for it in the checking account.

The Power of Thinking BIG
Ed Mylett

"Imagination is more important than knowledge." I believe no truer words were ever spoken and they were said by one of the greatest minds in the history of humanity. Albert Einstein knew a thing or two about imagination. His ability to think beyond convention, to question authority and the conclusions of scientists who came before him, gave our world some of the most significant scientific theories and discoveries of our time.

Importance of W3 Standards
Dave Davis

When the Internet first began its boon, the technologies used in design were forgiving. W3-Compliance wasn't as necessary because there were fewer browsers, fewer users and fewer technologies in use. With the burgeoning popularity of the Internet, new developmental tools are created daily. With these tools come new challenges: marketing, design, and cross-browser transitions. All of these can be a daunting task for those web gurus who aren't well-versed in the W3 Standards.

TeleSeminar Essentials: Anyone Can Do One
BIG Mike McDaniel

There is a notion that TeleSeminars are only for rich and powerful Internet marketers.

ARTICLES for BUSINESS and MANAGEMENT

Home Based Business Development Is a Marathon, Not a Sprint
Kirk Bannerman

It is known that a majority of the people that undertake work-at-home businesses do not achieve real success. There are several reasons for this but I am firmly convinced that one of the primary reasons is that people get frustrated and do not allow themselves sufficient time to become successful.

Business Angels Investment

Sometimes new businesses can find wealthy benefactors who are willing to invest their capital in return for compensation. These individuals are called "business angels." This name comes from the fact that they step in to an investment situation when no one else will. To the new business owner they truly are angels because they save the day in a desperate investment situation.
