Maintain Your Competitive Edge As You Age

Filed under: Memory Training — Tags: , , — Roger Seip @ 6:00 am

Roger SeipIf you believe that accelerated loss of your mental acuity is inevitable with age, and that the loss of your competitive edge is certain to accompany that memory loss, you’re not alone. But you are wrong. Age does have some effect on memory, but it’s not an especially significant factor. Nonetheless, people tend to use their age as an excuse for poor or weakened performance.

In fact, the opposite is true: For most people in business, the prime earning years are their 40s and 50s because they have invaluable maturity and experience. However, sometimes people in middle age enter a very self-defeating cycle, doubting themselves and losing confidence in their abilities.

What Thoughts are You in the Habit of Entertaining?

Filed under: Personal Freedom — Tags: , , , — Freedom Personal Development @ 6:00 am

Chuck DouglasI was fifteen years old at my first school dance. Mom had prepared me well, as I knew all the popular dances. My favorite was the two-step because even if I got nervous and lost my place, I could still look as if I knew what I was doing. I practiced over and over again until I knew I was a pro.

My excitement grew as the day of the dance approached. The prettiest girl in my class, Sharon, was going to be there that night. She had the smile of an angel and beautiful hair to match. I set my sights to dance all night with Sharon. The day of the dance finally arrived, which caused the entire school to buzz at a fever pitch.

As I walked into the dance that evening, I Read More...

memory trainingScott Ackerman, a recent Memory Training Workshop graduate, plans on using his trained memory to help him find a new and purposeful career.

Specifically, he will be more confident in being able to instantly recall facts about the company he is interviewing with Read More...

Many Know the Path, Few Actually Walk It

Filed under: Goal Setting — Tags: , — Leah Simpson @ 6:00 am

Leah SimpsonMost of us have heard this quote. Today I wanted to talk about the 2 things that are essential for “walking the path.”

Number 1 is to keep your eyes open so you see the path. Number 2 is to move. It sounds simple but think about it.

If you are walking on a path, there are only two things that will stop you from remaining on it. First, drifting off the path and the second is stopping motion.

So the first application, in terms of keeping your eyes open, is critical to finding the path in the first place, aka – have an idea of what you are looking for. Create goals and keep your eyes open for opportunities that will light your path. Drifting off the path is an easy Read More...

Filed under: Goal Setting, Videos — Tags: , , , — Freedom Personal Development @ 6:00 am

Fear of failure is the greatest obstacle to success. Failure doesn’t hold you back; it is the anticipation of failure that can sabotage your efforts to achieve your goals. Are you letting the fear of failure scare you into being overly cautious?

If you are….stop! Take the time to identify, define and analyze what you are afraid of.

Once you have identified your greatest fear, write out the answers to these questions:

1. How does this fear hold me back?
2. How does this fear help me?
3. What Read More...

Filed under: Time Management — Freedom Personal Development @ 6:00 am

Abby Marks BealeWe received some great feedback on our article last week – Reduce Email In-Box Clutter. Therefore today, we wanted to share some tips on how to get a grip on the information overload and time wasters email can present.

Do you genuinely like doing email? If you do, then you don’t need to read this.

But if you really dislike (okay, despise) doing email, then read on. Over the past few years, I have seen a ground- swell of busy professionals who are increasingly challenged and frustrated by the sheer amount of email that comes in and the poor quality of the incoming messages.
