Business Coaches vs. Business Mentors
Business coaching used to be a luxury for start-ups. These days, it seems almost a necessity. Or is it? Let’s take a look. First, the difference between a coach and a mentor. A mentor has done what you want to do. S/he has walked that road successfully, and so can help you walk it faster. Or at least know what challenges you’re probably going to face and when. A business coach knows business. T
How You Look Matters in Business … and in Life
grew up believing it was vanity to worry about looking good when you left the house. It didn’t matter what you looked like. “It’s what’s inside that counts.” How many times did I hear that growing up! And while, ultimately that is true, it’s also not. When we first see someone, within three seconds we form an opinion of them. It’s not conscious, you can’t help but do it. What else can that opinion be based on but how you present yourself?
Miracle on the 17th Green
I’ve been wanting to review Miracle on the 17th Green for a long time because I like it so much, and for so many reasons. It’s by James Patterson, but there isn’t a detective in sight. He does that sometimes, writes totally out of type. That’s one of the things I like so much about him. That, and his books are so fast-reading because the chapters are only two pages.
Bikers: Over 50, Monied, and Philanthropists
What image pops into your head when you hear “biker”? Hell’s Angels? Something from Sons of Anarchy? Maybe Rebellious/Angry Young Man. Stereotypes in general were not invented by Hollywood, they come from reality. At some point in time, they were accurate.
Children’s Vaccines: Must-Haves or Dangerous Toxins?
There’s been a lot of noise lately about vaccines causing autism and other diseases and disorders. Most of the controversy surrounds the aluminum used in the vaccines. It is true that aluminum is a very toxic substance to the human body and it is true that many vaccines do contain aluminum. The argument by the medical community is that it is not in a form that can harm the child.
5 Medical Devices That Have Changed the World
A hundred years ago, the field of durable medical devices didn’t extend very far beyond crutches, glasses, and false teeth. Now, there aren’t a whole lot of us who reach the age of 60 without employing one. Here are 5 Medical Devices That Have Changed the World:
Our Obsession with the Paranormal
UFOs are all the rage. Did space visitors build the pyramids? Guide ancient civilizations? Is Stonehenge a message they set up for other space visitors? Or, closer to home, do ghosts or guardian angels help keep us safe in our day-to-day lives?
One Digit at a Time
You hear that a lot with automated systems. “Please say or enter your account number, one digit at a time.” “Please say or enter the last four numbers of your social security number, one digit at a time.”
Folk Remedies – Mustard for Leg Cramps
You know those lower leg cramps you occasionally get at night? The ones that wake you up from a sound sleep? Well, I was walking too long in heels last weekend and I woke up with one that night. Oddly, it was the front of my lower leg, not the calf, which I’ve never heard of. I just watched my toes being drawn up towards my knee, helpless to stop it. Then the other one started doing the same thing.
