Real Help for Job Seekers: How to Write an Effective Cover Letter
I have seen thousands of cover letters and in one to two seconds, they ended up in the "probable" or "no way" pile, there was very little middle ground.

It is the ultimate first assignment and your performance is likely in competition with many other applicants.
This one short document should set you apart in a clear fashion. It say much about your skills, experience, personality, focus level and work ethic, concisely. The words should jump off of the page, to get yourself in the "probable" pile. Full Article
Real Help for Raising Kids: How Business Management Mirrors Parenthood
I accepted my first managerial position at the tender age of 24, a mere babe, and a full two years before I became a father. Placed in charge of a diverse accounting department of eight employees, it was a daunting period, to state it mildly.
Gaining the respect of people much older and with much longer tenure was a challenge that I accepted with open arms, however.
I have been blessed with an inherent ability to see strikingly different parts of an equation and put them together in some sort of coherent fashion. Full Article
Real Help for Your Mindset: You CAN Have your Cake and Eat it, too
Has there ever been a more ridiculous phrase uttered or reiterated by so many people? With the exception of "free gift", perhaps not. "That's right, Johnny, Santa won't be sending you a bill tomorrow, enjoy that bike!" I would wager that the founder of "You can't have your cake and eat it, too" did not like children.. or birthdays.

Seeing the daily happenings of my grown children, catching up with childhood friends, high school buddies, my first love, etc. The most ironic thing about Facebook, though, is that you can "unfollow" some of your "friends". Huh?
This is the equivalent of saying, "You are my friend and I love you. But I have no interest in anything that you have to say". Or, "Honey, if my good buddy Don calls or knocks on the door, DO NOT ANSWER IT". What a fine feature. Full Article
No Annoying Popups in Here
We are not fans of annoying, in-your-face, popup messages or ads. Thus, you will never see one on this site. We feel that there is a much better way to communicate and that is through straight-forward and informative conversation. Our theme is to uplift and inspire, not to annoy or bother.
A good message will sell itself and doesn't need gimmickry or unnecessarily forced calls for attention to help it along. The "squeaky wheel gets the grease" method is not our style. We feel that a good wheel shouldn't squeak in the first place. Our sincere wish is that you find great value and entertainment with each and every visit. Thanks for coming.
