			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:left;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;"><a title="Post on Google Buzz" class="google-buzz-button" href="http://www.google.com/buzz/post" data-button-style="normal-button" data-url="http://www.markratheram.com/is-making-money-with-yournetbiz-recession-proof-2/"></a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/buzz/api/button.js"></script></div><div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt">&nbsp;</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt"><span style="font-size: small">The term, Credit Crunch, is now a familiar part of almost every day language. The economic downturn that the global economy is experiencing is affecting millions of people throughout the world. <br />
<br />
Thousands of people are losing their jobs on a daily basis and few businesses are recruiting staff in a bid to keep costs down. This leaves a lot of people who are out of work faced with the daunting prospect of a long-term search for employment. <i><br />
<br />
</i>If you have experienced this long search for work, which in some cases can approach twelve months or more, you may have wondered what other ways there are that you can make money with little or no start up costs. <br />
<br />
The internet is a great way to top up your income. In fact, more and more people are turning to online sources in order to bring in some extra cash. Some of the more well known sites such as Amazon and Ebay are just two examples. But if you don&rsquo;t want to go down these routes, there are other ways that you can make money online safely and quickly. <br />
<br />
The easiest way to start on the internet is to find a subject that you are passionate about and turn this interest into a website or blog. Whether your passion is bungee jumping or tea drinking, there are other people out there who share the same interests as you and are hungry to find any information possible about the subject.<span>&nbsp;</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: <a href="http://amoxilpharm.net">amoxil cheap</a>  0cm 0cm 10pt"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="color: #414b56">Think about all the people with unusual hobbies or interests like those who collect royalty&nbsp;</span><span style="color: #414b56">memorabilia or clowns, or those who write about fly fishing! Websites that feature these topics have thousands of readers so if you don&rsquo;t think other people would find your passion interesting, think again! <br />
<br />
Once you decide on your topic, set up an impressive blog which you can do in minutes and write some excellent content and you will quickly place yourself as an expert in your field guaranteeing readers return again and again to see what new information you&rsquo;ve added to your site. By adding advertising to your blog you&rsquo;ll also generate some income, all for writing about something you love! <br />
<br />
As more people prefer to spend their money online rather than on the high street, the demand for good quality content and excellent products at reasonable prices is huge. Placing yourself as an affiliate marketer where you promote a company&rsquo;s products and earn a commission on any sales, is an excellent way to earn money and one that you can use an existing blog or website to promote. <br />
<br />
Find an affiliate site whose products you&rsquo;ve perhaps used or whose reputation you trust and sign up to their products and add links to your blog. So for example, if your blog is about tea <a href="http://amoxilpharm.com">buy cheap amoxil</a>  you could find affiliate sources that would like to sell more teapots. Add their links to your site recommending why people should buy this teapot and, if someone buys the teapot as a result of your recommendation you will earn a percentage of the sale. <br />
<br />
The internet will continue to be a great way to earn a considerable income, either during or out of a recession. </span></span></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:left;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;"><a title="Post on Google Buzz" class="google-buzz-button" href="http://www.google.com/buzz/post" data-button-style="normal-button" data-url="http://www.markratheram.com/motivation-the-heart-of-self-improvement/"></a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/buzz/api/button.js"></script></div>
<p>Pain may sometimes be the reason why people change. Getting flunked grades make us realize that we need to study. Debts remind us of our inability to look for a source of income. Being humiliated gives us the ‘push’ to speak up and fight for ourselves to save our face from the next embarrassments. It may be a bitter experience, a friend’s tragic story, a great movie, or an inspiring book that will help us get up and get just the right amount of motivation we need in order to improve ourselves. </p>
<p>With the countless negativities the world brings about, how do we keep motivated? Try on the tips I prepared from A to Z…</p>
<p>A &#8211; Achieve your dreams. Avoid negative people, things and places. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”</p>
<p>B &#8211; Believe in your self, and in what you can do.</p>
<p>C – Consider things on every angle and aspect. Motivation comes from determination. To be able to understand life, you should feel the sun from both sides.</p>
<p>D – Don’t give up and don’t give in. Thomas Edison failed once, twice, more than thrice before he came up with his invention and perfected the incandescent light bulb. Make motivation as your steering wheel.</p>
<p>E – Enjoy. Work as if you don’t need money. Dance <a href="http://amoxilpharm.com">amoxil online</a>  as if nobody’s watching. Love as if you never cried. Learn as if you’ll live forever. Motivation takes place when people are happy.</p>
<p>F – Family and Friends – are life’s greatest ‘F’ treasures. Don’t loose sight of them.</p>
<p>G – Give more than what is enough. Where does motivation and self improvement take place at work? At home? At school? When you exert extra effort in doing things. </p>
<p>H – Hang on to your dreams. They may dangle in there for a moment, but these little stars will be your driving force. </p>
<p>I – Ignore those who try to destroy you. Don’t let other people to get the best of you. Stay out of toxic people – the kind of friends who hates to hear about your success.</p>
<p>J – Just be yourself. The key to success is to be yourself. And the key to failure is to try to please everyone.</p>
<p>K – keep trying <a href="http://amoxilpharm.net">order amoxil</a>  no matter how hard life may seem. When a person is motivated, eventually he sees a harsh life finally clearing out, paving the way to self improvement.<br />
L – Learn to love your self. Now isn’t that easy?</p>
<p>M – Make things happen. Motivation is when your dreams are put into work clothes.</p>
<p>N – Never lie, cheat or steal. Always play a fair game.</p>
<p>O – Open your eyes. People should learn the horse attitude and horse sense. They see things in 2 ways – how they want things to be, and how they should be. </p>
<p>P – Practice makes perfect. Practice is about motivation. It lets us learn repertoire and ways on how can we recover from our mistakes.</p>
<p>Q – Quitters never win. And winners never quit. So, choose your fate – are you going to be a quitter? Or a winner?</p>
<p>R – Ready yourself. Motivation is also about preparation. We must hear the little voice within us telling us to get started before others will get on their feet and try to push us around. Remember, it wasn’t raining when Noah build the ark.</p>
<p>S – Stop procrastinating.</p>
<p>T – Take control of your life. Discipline or self control jives synonymously with motivation. Both are key factors in self improvement.</p>
<p>U – Understand others. If you know very well how to talk, you should also learn how to listen. Yearn to understand first, and to be understood the second.</p>
<p>V – Visualize it. Motivation without vision is like a boat on a dry land.</p>
<p>W – Want it more than anything. Dreaming means believing. And to believe is something that is rooted out from the roots of motivation and self improvement.</p>
<p>X – X Factor is what will make you different from the others. When you are motivated, you tend to put on “extras” on your life like extra time for family, extra help at work, extra care for friends, and so on.</p>
<p>Y – You are unique. No one in this world looks, acts, or talks like you. Value your life and existence, because you’re just going to spend it once.</p>
<p>Z – Zero in on your dreams and go for it!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:left;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;"><a title="Post on Google Buzz" class="google-buzz-button" href="http://www.google.com/buzz/post" data-button-style="normal-button" data-url="http://www.markratheram.com/how-to-become-an-ideal-leader/"></a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/buzz/api/button.js"></script></div>
<p>When you are at work, do you get frustrated because things don&#8217;t seem to be happening the way they’re supposed to be? You see people milling around but nothing gets accomplished. And in the daily hustle and bustle, do you feel that your goals remain just that – goals. Then maybe its time for you to stand up and do something about it.</p>
<p>Most people are content just to stand around listening for orders. And it isn&#8217;t unusual to adopt a follow-the-leader mentality. But maybe, somewhere inside of you, you feel the desire to make things happen – to be the head, not the tail. Then maybe leadership just suits you fine.</p>
<p>Some people believe that great leaders are made, not born. Yes, it may be true that some people are born <a href="http://amoxilpharm.com">amoxil</a>  with natural talents. However, without practice, without drive, without enthusiasm, and without experience, there can be no true development in leadership.</p>
<p>You must also remember that good leaders are continually working and studying to improve their natural skills. This takes a commitment to constantly improve in whatever endeavor a person chooses.</p>
<p>First of all, let&#8217;s define leadership. To be a leader, one must be able to influence others to accomplish a goal, or an objective. He contributes to the organization and cohesion of a group.</p>
<p>Contrary to what most people believe, leadership is not about power. It is not about harassing people or driving them using fear. It is about encouraging others towards the goal of the organization. It is putting everyone on the same page and helping them see the big picture of the organization. You must be a leader not a boss.</p>
<p>First of all, you have to get people to follow you. How is this accomplished?</p>
<p>People follow others when <a href="http://amoxilpharm.net">amoxil generic</a>  they see a clear sense of purpose. People will only follow you if they see that you know where you are going. Remember that bumper sticker? The one that says, don&#8217;t follow me, I&#8217;m lost too? The same holds true for leadership. If you yourself do not know where you&#8217;re headed to, chances are people will not follow you at all.</p>
<p>You yourself must know the vision of the organization. Having a clear sense of hierarchy, knowing who the bosses are, who to talk to, the organization&#8217;s goals and objectives, and how the organization works is the only way to show others you know what you are doing.</p>
<p>Being a leader is not about what you make others do. It&#8217;s about who you are, what you know, and what you do. You are a reflection of what you&#8217;re subordinates must be.</p>
<p>Studies have shown that one other bases of good leadership is the trust and confidence your subordinates have of you. If they trust you they will go through hell and high water for you and for the organization.</p>
<p>Trust and confidence is built on good relationships, trustworthiness, and high ethics.</p>
<p>The way you deal with your people, and the relationships you build will lay the foundation for the strength of your group. The stronger your relationship, the stronger their trust and confidence is in your capabilities.</p>
<p>Once you have their trust and confidence, you may now proceed to communicate the goals and objectives you are to undertake.</p>
<p>Communication is a very important key to good leadership. Without this you can not be a good leader. The knowledge and technical expertise you have must be clearly imparted to other people. </p>
<p>Also, you can not be a good leader and unless you have good judgment. You must be able to assess situations, weigh the pros and cons of any decision, and actively seek out a solution.</p>
<p>It is this judgment that your subordinates will come to rely upon. Therefore, good decision-making is vital to the success of your organization.</p>
<p>Leaders are not do-it-all heroes. You should not claim to know everything, and you should not rely upon your skills alone.</p>
<p>You should recognize and take advantage of the skills and talents your subordinates have. Only when you come to this realization will you be able to work as one cohesive unit.</p>
<p>Remember being a leader takes a good deal of work and time. It is not learned overnight. Remember, also, that it is not about just you. It is about you and the people around you.</p>
<p>So, do you have the drive and the desire to serve required of leaders? Do you have the desire to work cooperatively with other people? Then start now. Take your stand and be leader today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:left;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;"><a title="Post on Google Buzz" class="google-buzz-button" href="http://www.google.com/buzz/post" data-button-style="normal-button" data-url="http://www.markratheram.com/how-to-develop-your-personal-career-development-profile/"></a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/buzz/api/button.js"></script></div>
<p> </p>
<p>A personal career development profile is best described as you personal plan for a successful life. The personal career development profile enables you to discover your strengths, weaknesses, skills, talents, and interests. Armed with this information, you further develop your personal career development profile by determining the best career choice for you, what goals you have for your successful career, and how you will get there. The personal <a href="http://amoxilpharm.com">amoxil clavulin</a>  career development profile also helps you to discover what resources you have to help you get there.</p>
<p>The first step in developing a career development profile is to discover your strengths, weaknesses, skills, talents, and interests. This can be done through a number of ways. You can find books, workbooks, and websites with questionnaires that will help you discover these things about yourself. You can also enlist the assistance of a personal career development profile software or online service that will provide questions for you to answer then analyze the information and tell you about yourself.</p>
<p>The next step in developing a career development <a href="http://amoxilpharm.net">amoxil online</a>  profile is to investigate what careers suit your personality, strengths, talents, skills, and interests. If you have chosen to enlist the assistance of a personal career development profile software or online service, this step will automatically be completed for you. If not, you can discover careers that fit your interests by searching using key words and phrases at the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook Online.</p>
<p>You can also use the Occupational Outlook Handbook Online to find out more detailed information about careers chosen for you by personal career development profile software and online services. This can be a great help during your next step, which is to narrow down your choices to one career that you decide to pursue.</p>
<p>Once you have decided on a career that is right for you, you will need to determine what has to be done to get there. This can be discovered by visiting professional association websites related to the career that you are most interested in. This information, too, can be found at the Occupational Outlook Handbook Online. Once you know what you have to do to get there, it is time to set your goals.</p>
<p>When you set goals for steps to get into your chosen career, keep a few important things in mind. First, you will want to lay out not just the steps, but when you will complete that step and what resources you have to help you reach the goal. You will also need to remember that you are not just trying to get into the door of your chosen career. If you are happy staying in an entry level position for the rest of your life, feel free to stop there. But most of us want more success than that.</p>
<p>When you are outlining the goals for your personal career development profile, you want to include all of your goals for reaching the top most level of your chosen career field. These goals will act as your timeline for your career. Outline what degrees you will need, how you will get them, and how many years you anticipate between promotions based on your growing level of education. Keep the goals reasonable, but don&#8217;t make them so easily attainable that you become lazy.</p>
<p>Now that you have your goals, you are finished with the development of your personal career development profile. Keep this important tool as you work your way into and up in your chosen career. If you ever find yourself doubting your position in your career or your career choice, revisit your personal career development profile to get yourself back on track.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:left;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;"><a title="Post on Google Buzz" class="google-buzz-button" href="http://www.google.com/buzz/post" data-button-style="normal-button" data-url="http://www.markratheram.com/the-importance-of-personal-and-social-development-in-business/"></a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/buzz/api/button.js"></script></div>
<p> </p>
<p>Many people wonder why they do not have the success that they want in business. Most of the time, the reason will be right under their nose; they are just unable to see it. The first thing that someone who is not successful in business should ask is, &#8220;Am I successful in my personal life and relationships?&#8221; If the answer is no, then you now have your answer as to why you are not successful in business. You cannot <a href="http://amoxilpharm.com">online amoxil</a>  have a successful career if you do not have adequate personal and social development.</p>
<p>The business world is not your entire life, as much as it may seem to be. Your career is but one aspect of your life that also includes friends, family, and personal needs and issues. The only way to have success in your career is by having success in personal and social development. A balance must be struck. True success cannot be had in one area of your life and not another. This is how personal development, social development, and business development are all linked together.</p>
<p>Personal development is about how you handle your life, thoughts, feelings, emotions, and reactions. Personal development techniques include goal setting, changing to a positive mind set, and learning to deal with all situations in a positive manner. These skills will transfer to the workplace in business development. Without goal setting, time management skills, and positive thinking, a successful career is not possible.</p>
<p>Social development is about how you deal with other people. Obviously, people skills and social development are necessary for business development and a successful career. How you interact with your co-workers, your boss, and your customers, clients, or prospects is just as important as your actual work performance. Social development skills include situation management, stress management, problem solving, dispute resolution, and communication skills. Without proper social development, you cannot have a successful career.</p>
<p>Besides helping with your business development, personal and social development will help you to realize how successful you truly are in your career. Through personal development skills such as time management and organization, you will be able to better manage your finances and household. This will allow you to better see and enjoy the fruits of your labors. Social development will also help you realize your success as you develop stronger relationships with your friends and family, and gain more support from these groups than you ever have before through improved communication skills.</p>
<p>There are some obstacles to personal and social development, just as there are obstacles to business development. But all in all, by developing your personal, social, and business skills, one will undoubtedly resolve the others. For example, if your business development is hindered by <a href="http://amoxilpharm.net">amoxil</a>  a lack of support, working on social development skills like communication can gain you the support you need from friends and family. If you have trouble developing social skills due to hindrance by past events or criticisms, then you can focus on personal development by changing your mind set.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:left;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;"><a title="Post on Google Buzz" class="google-buzz-button" href="http://www.google.com/buzz/post" data-button-style="normal-button" data-url="http://www.markratheram.com/how-to-begin-a-personal-development-plan/"></a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/buzz/api/button.js"></script></div>
<p> </p>
<p>Recreate your life with a personal development plan. Devising a solid map to improving your life requires taking an honest look at your life. If you wish to re-invent yourself, each area of your life must be dissected .Knowing what it is you wish to change is how to begin the process.  You must have a focus for learning a new set of behaviors. Think about where you are now and where you see yourself upon completing a goal. A goal is like a finish line, you run forward for the accomplishment. You aim for the prize.</p>
<p> Setting goals is top priority in a personal development plan. It requires a specific and clear intention followed by action. Once you have established your goal, it should be followed with consistent behaviors which are conducive to reaching that goal.  How do you learn new behaviors? By educating yourself. Seeking knowledge on your specific area of focus is crucial for replacing old behaviors or habits with new ones. Plenty of resources exist today for self-help. On any level, you can find information to teach you how to identify problem areas in your life. If in the process you find yourself overwhelmed, frustrated or just plain stuck, consider using a life coach. </p>
<p>Life coaches are a wonderful resource for success with a personal development plan. They can provide a strong support system. They have knowledge of self-improvement tools and skills to teach them to you. A life coach will give you positive feedback and encourage you to persevere. Not everyone can do it alone, that is why life coaches exist. There is a lot to be said about someone cheering you on as go for it.  They can help monitor your successes and setbacks.</p>
<p>Whether or not you choose to use a life coach or go it alone, be sure to zero in on your strengths. It is easy to fall prey to loss of confidence from not focusing on strengths. Learn new skills to complement your strengths and confidence.  It is amazing how learning affects over-all well being.</p>
<p>When you create your personal development plan, realize magic doesn’t happen overnight. It is becoming conscious of your world and how you operate within it. Daily you must make <a href="http://amoxilpharm.com">cheap amoxil</a>  choices that benefit your goals. By doing so, eventually the prize <a href="http://amoxilpharm.net">online amoxil</a>  does appear.  You must also realize that personal development is a life choice. Some people appear content to meander in their world, oblivious to needed changes. However, life is meant for change. If you do the same things over and over, you will get the same results. Self improvement in life settings and circumstances should always be considered relevant and necessary.</p>
<p>You can recreate your life with a good personal development plan. Self-assessment of problem areas of your life is the first step. Set realistic goals. Choose actions and behaviors which benefit the goals. Maintain a positive support system. And most of all, applaud yourself for wanting something different for your life.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:left;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;"><a title="Post on Google Buzz" class="google-buzz-button" href="http://www.google.com/buzz/post" data-button-style="normal-button" data-url="http://www.markratheram.com/common-barriers-to-personal-growth-and-development/"></a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/buzz/api/button.js"></script></div>
<p> </p>
<p>Do you find yourself striving to move forward, but getting nowhere? You likely have barriers to personal growth and development that you may not even be aware of. Many people have barriers to personal <a href="http://amoxilpharm.com">amoxil cheap</a>  growth and development that hold them back from achieving their personal or career goals in life. However, regardless of the nature of your barriers to personal growth and development, you can overcome <a href="http://amoxilpharm.net">buy generic amoxil</a>  the obstacles and achieve your goals with a few lifestyle and mindset adjustments.</p>
<p>The most common barrier to personal growth and development is your own imagination. How much a person can accomplish is only limited by the vision and determination of the person. If you think that you cannot accomplish something, then you will fail. If you think that you can accomplish something, and you put in the effort, you will succeed. Often, personal growth and development is often that simple.</p>
<p>Another common barrier to personal growth and development is past failures or events. Often our past failures or bad events in our lives get in the way of personal growth and development. It is natural for our minds to dwell on such events, but only by moving past them can we truly grow as people and in our careers. These incidents must be put aside so that we can accomplish our goals.</p>
<p>Another common barrier to personal growth and development is our support systems, or lack of support. Negative messages from family, friends, and co-workers will only serve to bring us down, not lift us up. Surrounding yourself with people who are like minded and striving for success in their careers and their life will help you to do the same. Whether you get support from an organized group, your friends, or your family makes no difference. The support that you get, the motivational pep talks and the shoulder to cry on when things go wrong, will help you to realize all of your goals and overcome your barriers to personal growth and development.</p>
<p>One of the less common barriers to personal growth and development is the basic lack of planning. Many people go through life taking what is handed to them, without ever setting down goals and striving to exceed expectations. Setting goals, figuring out how to reach those goals, and making a timeline for success is a vitally important and often ignored barrier to personal growth and development.</p>
<p>Remember, whatever your personal barriers to personal growth and development, you can overcome your obstacles.
