Hallo,

Just 10 days left for Christmas to come. Children are counting days, adults are rushing from place to place to meet friends, organize for presents … and … of course finish off with the work load for the ending year.

Within you working place, do you not experience a kind of friendlier atmosphere these days? I do! I had this experience both while working in a typical corporate environment, as well as now that I own my little company. Colleagues are somehow friendlier, the atmosphere is kind of lighter, even though very stress through all the preparations of this period of the year.

But, do we need Christmas to be friendlier with our colleagues and friends; with our employees and employers, with the suppliers and vendors? I don’t think so! Personally I do believe – and try to apply 5 simple “rules” to make people important throughout the year, wherever I go:

1. Speak & Live with credibility - I also refer to this principle as leading with moral authority. It does not mean much for you to say “let’s keep looking for the opportunity ahead” while living in fear and operating with a scarcity mentality.

2. Be authentic – Share with the people in your organization where you are weak. Express just how much you need them. Let them know that you know your limitations. Invite them to be team players, ask for their sorrows and share yours … and YES you have time for doing so … these are just seconds that can change long year relationships! ““Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” (Henry Ford)

3. See Abilities in Others They Don’t See Themselves – take time to be observant. Quit the craziness long enough to notice the talent in those around you, LISTEN to people when they tell you things. This is a huge GIFT not many have. After you have noticed a talent or strength in a person, let them know you noticed it and be specific about what you noticed and give them suggestions by for example telling them what you would do if you knew how to do a specic thing … “Innovation is a team sport” (Henry Ford).

4. Inspire People – Tell people about you so people will better understand you and you very often – without realizing – might inspire them, may be with a solution to a problem, maybe with an idea for a birthday gift. It is not important with what, but THAT you inspire those around you!  “If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person’s point of view and see things from that person’s angle as well as from your own.” (Henry Ford)

5. Live on Purpose – Remind people that personal life and working life are both part of the game. Remind them that what happens at work is only a portion of their life. Doing your job and living for your family or sports, for your private life is all important. The most important about it though is to have a clear vision of the goal one personally needs to set and then work and life with focus and determination, with faith and enthusiasm towards it!. “Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes shine to the stars. Enthusiasm is the sparkle in your eyes, the swing in your gait. The grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of will and energy to execute your ideas.” (Henry Ford)

I do wish you a stress-free week, full of positive meetings and of smiles, a clear plan to head towards the end of the year, with a huge smile on your face!

To your success,

Hallo there,

Working from home is a huge opportunity and a giant challenge at the same time. Many easy to work schemes, affiliate programs and online business opportunities to make extra money online are available. Still there is one major question standing above it all: What about the human aspects of online business opportunities? How can we stay authentic and transmit our values, wishes and integrity? There are a seven significant points that will allow for this!

Talking about business is not exclusively talking about models and metrics, strategies and missions. There are several important aspects to doing any kind of business, also when pursuing online business opportunities, that have nothing to do with Internet Marketing, traffic driving techniques, blogging or Affiliate Marketing. There are some core values that I personally do believe are the very base of our being and of our success, they are your most valuable assets!

MODESTY is the basis of an open and honest dialogue, with your family and friends, with your kids and your boss, with your business partners and customers. It is the opposite of arrogance and ignorance. It is spontaneous and discrete, it goes hand in hand with dignity. It is your appearance.

CONFIDENCE we need to trust in those we love, we need to share with all involved, both at home as well as at work. Openness only can happen if there is confidence, so confidence is the first step for our success. Trust your toddler that he/she can bring the full glass of water to the table – give confidence! Giving confidence is giving responsibility and this makes all involved feel happier, involved and not decided upon!

HONESTY Be honest to your beloved and to yourself, to your colleagues at work and to your friends. Even if “the other way round” might seem easier in some situations – it is never worthwhile.

AUDACITY Audacity requests self-control, self-confidence, self-efficacy and sober mindedness. We always need to see if we are on the way towards the goal we have put together. They need you to take this role, to lead them without pressure.

FUN Try and have fun whatever you do. Sing when you wash the dishes, chase your kids around the kitchen table while cooking, pour some water on your husband while watering your plants, blow some bath foam around the bathroom, simply do something crazy … something that will make you love for a second and that will involve all around you … a few seconds of fun that will conjure smiles on all faces and that cost you no money nor any extra work! “Laughter is the sensation of feeling good all over,
and showing it principally on one spot.” Josh Billings (1815-1885); American Humorist and Lecturer.

FREEDOM We all are individuals with our own wishes and thoughts, with our individual goals and ideas. Use this powerful freedom of thinking by asking your beloved and yourself what you actually want. In this way you will very easily know how to decide what the best for your family is. You will be able to collate all their thoughts and wishes and you will be their private superstar: the loving and caring mother and wife!

TEAM SPIRIT You are NOT ALONE!!!! You might have your Blogs on many other issues or comment there. If you look for people you will find them, in the same situation as you willing to help and support you!

To your success & good life
