You have a choice. Do you want to be constructive and positive
in a unique way? Or do you want to be destructive and negative
in a unique way? History has proven the futility of the latter
goal. So let’s focus on your unique capacity to better yourself
and those around you.

In western music there are 12 notes per each octave on the
keyboard. Only 12 notes. From these simple 12 notes come the
various musical works of Mozart, Brahms, Rossini, Beethoven,
Donizetti, Bach, Strauss, Wagner, Puccini, Verde, Gershwin,
Gilbert & Sullivan, Rogers & Hammerstein. The Beetles, Merle
Haggard, Marti Robbins, Louis Armstrong, Elvis, Aretha Franklin,
Little Richard, Pointer Sisters and countless other unique
performers, composers, and musical forms. What a variety from 12
basic notes!

As a growing copywriter and Cyberspace Marketeer, I often seek
new ideas and ways of doing stuff.. But before this process can
happen, I have to “pay my dues.” I do this through research over
the Internet. I get out and socialize, during work time and play
time. Only afterwards am I able to discover and lay out
creative, unique solutions.

When I am given a set of parameters, I must intensely focus upon
these, and then forget about them. Within a week a unique idea
“pops” into my consciousness. Several weeks ago, I was
consulting with a new client. He had “Hummingbirds” as part of
his logo. He needed a slogan. He is in the restaurant trade. How
can I tie the concept of “hummingbirds” in with food service?
Over time we discovered “Every Bite - Hummingbird Light” Now he
has a powerful slogan. We created a good headline featuring his
current offering. We listed bulleted benefits (yes, a tiny
hummingbird was used as each bullet). And a great slogan. His
publicity pulls very well. He is unique in a positive way.

Logo. This is usually a unique graphic. Sometimes it can be a
simple choice of font face, relative sizes, and placement. But a
“killer” graphic logo is best. The logo reflects your whole,
unique business philosophy and image. It has to be so crystal
clear the public recognizes it instantly. The Colonel’s bucket.
The golden Arches. CocaCola Bottle. No words are needed. Never
Copy. You may Modify. Create New is best. Focus on this task.
Then let it go. You might “dream” the solution. Perfect your own
unique logo.

Headline. Vital to keeping interest of your target market. Going
further with the above “Hummingbirds” copy we told basically
what it was, “Sunday Evening Roast.” Then, right below that
line, we “painted a picture” “Imagine yourself dining with your
special someone on a secluded terrace. Your cozy wooden table
and chair - your temporary sanctuary from a hard plastic world.
Your candle gently flickers with each passing breeze. You are
enjoying the intimate lightness of Hummingbirds’ unparalleled
Sunday Roast.” Needs a little fine tuning - but it works.

Bulleted Benefits. Continuing down Sumptuous Starter-dishes
Mouth-Watering Main Course-dishes Seductive Desert-Your choice
Free Glass of Red, Rosé, White (Enjoy wines a step beyond - We
taste and recommend)

Slogan (modified) follows. “Your Traditional British Roast -
Every Bite - Hummingbird Light”

After that comes phone number, location, directions etc.

However, at the last minute we decided to add in this area.
“Twiggy” 2-Course (price) “Henry VIII” 3-Course (price)

Our target market was the British couple or foursome looking for
a great Sunday Evening Roast.

Over the years I have collected aids and studied various areas
of marketing. Long ago I got copy of active verbs. Recently I
got list of “Hypnotic Words” and successful headlines used over
the years. Also a list how different colors effect emotions.
These are all great references when I am stumped or want to make
my copy even better. Some of the “greats” which come to mind are
Claude Hopkins, Jay Abraham, Ted Nicholas. Actually, some of the
best ideas can be found on current Internet sales letters.
Occasionally I find the rare good headline in SPAM sent me. Yes,
I even study some SPAM.

I have discovered my target market. They need my copywriting
skills…the undercapitalized, open-minded, serious
entrepreneur. Nobody in my immediate vicinity practices
principles of good copywriting. I am unique. I am creative. My
clients are unique. They seek creative solutions. They are fun
to work with. Our creative ideas keep amplifying each other’s.

No matter what profession(s) you are into at this time, develop
your uniqueness, discover your creativity, dream your solutions.
The more you practice, the easier it becomes. By the way, I had
no idea what I would write about this month. I kept thinking and
thinking. Then “pop” - here it is. Now to polish it up 24 hours
from now. 828 words now and finally edited down to 794.

Getting Things Done By Unleashing your Anger

There is a lot of talk about using the power of “positive thinking” in order to get what you want out of life. The general consensus is that the more you keep your mind tuned to your Personal Positive Network, the faster you will attain the things that you want in life.

That is all very true. However, is it the ONLY path?

As humans, we realize that something in our lives is good because we compare it to something bad. We know what a full stomach feels like because we know what it is like to be hungry. We know what a white shirt looks like because we compare it to a black shirt. We perceive “good” in the world by comparing it to our perception of “evil”.

The human existence is one of contrast we experience things as being either pleasurable or not so pleasurable based on our perception of the opposite of that thing. Without contrast there can be no good or bad, there can be no right and wrong, and there can be no black and white.

If you think of happiness as a positive emotion, then you must also have experienced sadness. If you think of money as being something that makes you happy, then you must have realized what it is like to not have enough of it. If you think of perfect health and weight loss as being keys to your joy, then you must also have the knowledge of what it means to be overweight or unhealthy.

So, bearing all of that in mind, if we are supposed to attain our goals in life by positive thinking, a question is then raised about what happens to everything that we don’t perceive as “positive”.

Based on the fact that we experience positive things by comparing them to what we perceive as negative, then the fact remains that the negative things MUST exist. They have to be “out there” somewhere, or else we wouldn’t have anything to judge our positive feelings and experiences on.

Let’s jump ahead to a time in your life when you will experience some of that negativity. It’s bound to happen eventually, if you’re not already dealing with it frequently. Eventually you will have something that no matter how hard you try brings about a negative reaction or situation in your life.

If you are truly skilled in the art of positive thinking, then these circumstance will be rare, and they will pass quickly. However, the fact remains that regardless of how much of a positive person you are, there will come a time when you have to deal with something that you consider to be negative.

In a classic state of irony if one ever existed, it is possible for you to USE that negativity to achieve a positive result! Here are 3 examples:

1)Mental If something bad happens to you or becomes a factor in your life, you can embrace that negativity as a reminder of what you DON’T want in your life. If that negativity is brought about by a bad relationship, then embrace the fact that you will never be in that kind of relationship again because you now know what you DON’T want. You can take positive steps towards making sure that your next relationship has none of the negative aspects of the previous one. That same concept could be applied to almost any negative situation that affects you mentally.

2)Physical When you are upset about something especially angry or frustrated then exercise! Pound out your frustrations on the treadmill or weight training floor. Take a kickboxing class or use a punching bag. Go hit the sidewalk and see if you can break your personal land-speed record for the 2-mile run. In a nutshell, use your negative emotions as POWER to juice up a great workout. The positive side effects are that you will feel much better after your brain releases the exercise-induced endorphins, and you will also be more calm when you return home or to work where the negativity was introduced to you in the first place. Also, you get to be more healthy!

3)Task List Using the same example as when you exercise, take that bottled up negative energy and explode it onto the things that you have to get done in life. You would be amazed at how fast you can clean your house from top to bottom when properly motivated, or how quickly you can knock task after task off of your to-do list when you are screaming around with the power and the speed of a freight train behind you!

None of the words in this article are meant to imply that you should try to find negativity in your life just so you can energize your personal output. You should also not focus on your negativity and use it’s power as a “crutch” to get through life or to stay on top of your responsibilities.

No, as this article started out saying, being positive IS the way to go, and you can use the power of positivity to literally build the life of your dreams.

However, when life throws you a curve ball and you have no choice but to deal with negativity, then turn it into a positive thing by doing something good with it!

How to get the kind of love you want from your man

Did you know that positive thinking, coupled with positive
action and expectation, are the keys to getting what you want in
life? It is not enough just to think positively, as most
self-professed experts will have you believe. You must start
with the foundation of thinking positive thoughts in order for
your outcome to be a positive one, but you must go to the next
step of taking positive action, and believe that your positive
action will produce the expected positive results.

Now you are wondering what positive thinking and positive action
has to do with getting the kind of love you want from your man.
The answer? Everything. Men are really easy to please, if you
understand their needs and exactly how to satisfy them, which is
precisely the subject matter of my e-book. In Passion Keys, I
lay out the keys to unlocking the passionate love that resides
in the hearts of all men. Yes, all men have plenty of love to
give, if you know how to tear down the walls around their
hearts.

In today’s issue of my newsletter, I will give you some of the
tools you can use to get the kind of love you deserve. Before I
give you this information, you must bear in mind that just one
issue of this newsletter is not enough to give you the detailed
information of how to apply them. Having said that, I will give
you four keys you can use to begin the process of unlocking the
love that is hiding in your man’s heart.

1.Warm and respectful communication - I could have simply said
communication, and left it at that, but I feel it is very
important to qualify communication, so that you are certain of
the kind of communication that will get you the positive results
you want.

Warm communication is like hot chocolate on a cold winter
morning. It is uplifting and makes you feel good all over. That
is exactly how the way you talk to your man ought to make him
feel. If you talk to him with the kind of derogatory language
that a lot of people use in their relationships, then you will
get the same old results most people get, which is the kind of
love that is always on the verge of breaking up. Use language
that is kind, considerate, uplifting and you will get the same
back with love as the icing on your love cake.

2.Kind and thoughtful acts - I call these acts of love. If you
expect love from your man, you must act in kind and thoughtful
ways. How many times have you gone out of your way to do
something for your guy without him asking? Have you taken care
of an important chore that he hasn’t been able to get to,
without his requesting you to do him a favor? Surprise him with
gifts when nothing special is happening, his birthday, your
anniversary, or special holidays. Sometimes it is not what you
do for him directly. It could be something you do for a member
of his family. Blood is thicker than water, and when you do
something that positively impacts one of his loved ones, you
have also positively impacted your guy as well. Sounds like an
ancient Chinese philosophy, but it is not. It is a universal
principle.

3.Never Nag - Nagging is one of those areas in a relationship
where women are not sure when they have slipped into the
proverbial black hole. Let me quickly give you some pointers on
what it means to nag. You are nagging when you complain
constantly about what your guy should have done but did not do,
or what he repeatedly does that is making you sick. You are
nagging when you constantly yell when you are dissatisfied or
disappointed by how your guy has handled or failed to handle an
issue your expected him to take care of differently. The point
is not that you should not be dissatisfied or disappointed when
your guy is not rowing his share of the boat. But the way you
express your discontent is what makes the difference between a
nag and someone that can effectively get her point across.

4.Be affectionate - Shower your guy with loves of hugs and
kisses. Men, like women, enjoy the attention they get when their
woman initiates affection. Do it often, but do not smother him
with it.

That is all for now. To find out how to make your man fall madly
in love with you, please visit: http://www.smartwomansguide.com.

How to Become a Successful Network Marketer

Success in network marketing is assured through the right kind of attitude and hard work. If someone tells you that network marketing is a get-rich-quick business, which normally is how this business is projected to gain new memberships, ignore that person. Network marketing is serious business, and is not going to earn you the millions by working just 2 hours a day, as you may be told. So, before you make up your mind to enter this business, be prepared to work hard to build a strong base of network marketers under you.

How to Become a Successful Network Marketer

As mentioned above, network marketing is not going to make you rich overnight working 2 hours a day. It demands both time and effort. It does not mean that you should quit your job and jump on to the network marketing bandwagon. Continue with your job, as you work on your new business on the side. You could switch to fulltime networking, when you develop a stronger network and start consistently earning more than what you are paid on your job.

Most people join because they are misled into thinking that network marketing is an easy way to make big money. They quit just as quickly when they realize it is not so. Such quitters talk negatively about the business, not realizing that only a con-job can make you rich quick, not a serious business like network marketing. So, it is important for a beginner to develop the right attitude to work hard persistently, and continue bravely in the face of adversity.

All kinds of businesses have ups and downs, and network marketing is no different. You will be discussing the business with many people, and a high percentage of them are unlikely to join you. Successful network marketers do not feel disheartened, as they continue defiantly to make it big in this business.

Perseverance is what will see you through the bad phases of this business. People, whom you took so much pain for to join you, train them and help develop their business, may decide to quit. This can be quite a frustrating experience. But, a successful network marketer perseveres and continues the march.

As a team leader, it is important for you to lead by example. Continue to be positive in the face of adversity and keep your team of downlines motivated to continue with their efforts. At no point of time should your downline feel let down by the leadership.

If you are strong on the basics as mentioned here, there is no way anyone can stop you from achieving success in network marketing.

Re-create your Life Now!

Become a Remote Viewer and Powerful Influencer of Reality Watch your Life and the Lives of Loved Ones Radically Change for the Better! Unleash your Higher Mind Potentials!

Experience The Synergistic Power of Combining Our Remote Viewing and Remote Influencing Training Systems Offered to You at a Deep Discount, Together with Two Bonus Techniques that will Amaze You.

The best protocol is for training concomitantly with both the Remote Viewing and the Remote Influencing Training Systems. You can easily achieve a quantum jump in your inner Creative powers, awareness, intelligence, wisdom, holistic health and biological higher programming.

Many new students combine taking the Remote Viewing and Remote Influencing Training Systems. Studies done at the ARVARI and confirmed by the great deal of feedback received from our trainees, have made it very clear that this is indeed a very powerful combination; much more so than taking the two courses separately. RV skills are greatly enhanced by training with RI and vice â?? versa.

Another noteworthy finding is that many students report a sudden quantum jump in higher skills upon repeating the combination course for the second or even third or more time through the course. This represents a high plateau of mind operation.

How you can easily achieve a quantum jump in your inner Creative powers, awareness, intelligence, wisdom, holistic health and biological higher reprogramming

We have found after extensive research and testing numerous combinations that there is a best sequence to integrate the two courses that will manifest the most beneficiary results for the students. These results are presented in RV RI Combination Training System Sequence.

We are very excited at the dynamics that the combination of the Remote Viewing & Remote Influencing Training Systems represent. This is an ongoing project. Many students have or are achieving tremendous inner changes and purification of anger and fear caused by deep scars or programming lodged within their inner very deep subconscious realms, and are now exhibiting new positive, strongly optimistic reprogrammed personalities, that automatically reject negative fear-based thinking. They seem to operate, even in their same old surroundings, totally stress -free, convinced that they are fine, protected and that all will work out for the best. Even when fear-based situations are thrown at them, they smile and deflect the negative energy.

And they manifest then happiness and inner peace, first in their immediate reality, and hopefully eventually on a much wider basis. We must say that most of these trainees always mention how they notice high synchronicities in their daily lives, and how fast their dreams are now becoming reality.

This was the original intent of the Remote Viewing and Remote Influencing Training Systems. And we cannot but express our enthusiasm at starting to show great initial success in turning the tide away from the doom-and-gloom, fate based, fear-driven world that many have and are still trying to impose on us, so that we believe ourselves impotent in changing, each of us, our lives, and being able to prove that we can all, by changing- by ourselves- our deep thoughts, experience more happiness, control, true freedom, true democracy, true freewill, and built-in inner care for our fellow humans, and creatures, big and small, on this Divinely gifted magnificent Earth.

Hypnosis Training - Learn The 4 Stage Hypnosis Protocol

Hypnosis is a widely acknowledged process that can change the lives of many, by using hypnosis you can change your ways of life to be happier, healthier and more personally satisfying.

Hypnosis is created when a person is so intensely focused that it creates a freedom within the unconscious mind to act beyond the normal restrictions of what the conscious mind deems possible, real and proper

Hypnosis training is best started by learning about the past and present of hypnosis itself. The history of hypnosis reaches centuries back; it wasn’t until the 1880’s that hypnosis advanced from the ‘Dark Ages’ and into a more scientific realm.

It was then that a Scottish neurosurgeon by the name of James Braid came up with the term hypnotism. Not only is James Braid responsible for coining the term hypnotism he is also responsible for the study that proved that hypnotism was not a product of magnetic fluids flowing through our bodies.

Braid spent time studying Animal Magnetism and Mesmerism and concluded from those studies that hypnosis could be induced by anyone as long as they followed a certain set of simple rules.

As Braid experimented and studied hypnosis he coined the term hypnosis for reasons that the subjects undergoing it looked to be sleepy. After further study he found that one could be hypnotized and still be wide awake, at this time he attempted to change the term hypnotism to monoidealism; mono- meaning one, and idealism for the focus on a particular idea.

This term made better sense as the act of hypnosis is created by complete focus on one idea to the extent that it eventually becomes a reality for the subject. The term monoidealism did not take and hence today hypnosis is still known as hypnosis.

As James Braid has shown us through history there are rules to follow and steps to take to induce a person into a hypnotic state. These steps are known today as the 4 Stage Formula. The 4 Stage Formula begins with Stage 1, to Absorb Attention. Absorbing attention is simply to capture the focus of your subject.

This requires intense concentration and the ability to draw your subject into you and to keep them following your lead with suggestions and language, after you have accomplished this you can move on to the second stage.

The second stage of the 4 Stage Formula is to Bypass the Critical Factor. Critical factor is known in hypnosis as the reasoning of the conscious mind that says, “this is not possible”.

Resistance to hypnotic trance is created when the critical factor stands between your subject and their hypnotic state. This must be bypassed in order for your subject to respond to you on an unconscious level.

Once you have bypassed the critical factor, which you will learn as we move through different articles, you will be able to present hypnotic suggestions in the form of advice. As long as no critical factor is standing in the way the suggestions will resonate with your subject and the advice will come out through the conscious mind and take effect.

After you have bypassed all critical factors stage 3 of the 4 Stages is to Activate an Unconscious Response. Activating unconscious responses is your sign that you have successfully led your subject into a hypnotic state.

Any unconscious response is a positive sign for you as a hypnotist, as well as for your client, because you are doing your job. Unconscious response can vary; a good example of an unconscious response is an emotional response.

Emotional responses are derived from an unconscious level, you have no choice in your emotions they are simply a product of your unconscious reacting to and implementing the thinking and understandings you posses.

Make sure to note that if you are dealing with a subject that is in a heightened state of emotion, say a breakup or recent loss, the subject is already in their own hypnotic process.

You as the hypnotist will have no control over a person in hypnotic process of which you are not the authority. They will not listen to you or attempt to follow your suggestions, they are immune to your reasoning and need time to emerge from the state they are in before you can induce a hypnotic state of which you are in control of.

You must be able to access and retrieve a response from the unconscious before you can begin working toward any desired outcome. This brings us to the fourth and final step in the 4 Stages; the fourth stage is to Lead Unconscious to Desired Outcome.

This step is simple to explain really it is as it sounds. Once you have your subject in a hypnotic state and have accomplished the three previous stages you will lead your subject through their unconscious by way of suggestions to obtain your desired outcome. When you successfully combine all four of the 4 Stage Formula you will be engaging with your subject in a conversational hypnotic interaction.

Small Business Franchise Opportunities: Window of Success for an Entrepreneur

If you require funding and advice while opening a small business, a small business franchise may provide an excellent opportunity for you as an entrepreneur. It offers virtually endless advantages to the entrepreneur. Some of the major advantages that you can enjoy through such franchising include brand recognition, employee or management training, and an established model.

One of the greatest advantages of joining a small business franchising is the brand recognition that your business gets. All you need to do is to choose a well-known small business franchise. This way, you can eventually ensure that the products and services offered by you will get immediate recognition by customers.

When you choose to go for the large scale business franchising, you must also be ready to invest more time and money, such as for training for employees and management. However, when you go for the small business franchising company, the training is likely to be available at little or no cost to the operator of the new store. This will also help you to streamline the employee services, such as finding insurance, conducting payroll, and other concerns.

However, whatever is the scenario; you must follow an established plan of action, or model in order to ensure that the small business franchising company you are going for will bring the desired success for you. You must keep in mind that when it comes to the small business franchise, there is always a certain plan or system that is used throughout all stores. This may include management practices, policies, store layout, and a variety of other standards.

This eventually means that when you choose a small business franchising company, you do not need to develop new strategies and procedures because most of the strategies and procedures are provided to you by the small business franchising company.

It is very important to find out how long the franchisor has been operating, how well they perform in the market, what training and support they offer, and also how stable the company financially. Do not buy a franchise just because you see there is a successful one in other location. In general there are no guarantees that a success of a franchise in one location automatically follow in another.

A success in anything should start with positive thinking. Your small business franchising may not become an immediate gold mine that you envisaged. But after a several years you would earn the reward of your hard work and persistence.

Everyone Wants To Be An Inventor

We will all at some time sit around thinking of something that we need and then wonder if we can invent something like it that will make us rich beyond our dreams. The number of people who do try to make this dream come ture runs into the tens of thousands, all trying to develop a thought into a real invention. Something we will all need and want to buy.

You might want to sell your idea to a manufacturer and then have them pay you royalties on each and every product sold. Finding a company to do that isn’t easy, many of them will approach invention promotion firms assuming that would be their best choice. Inventors give thousands of dollars to these companies in the hope that this will lead to the product development and marketing. However many have found that these firms end up doing nothing more than putting them deep into debt.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has discovered that many of these types of promotion companies are fraudulent. The FTC has published some tips on being cautious when approaching a invention promotion firm.

If the company tells you “your idea has great market potential” be very weary. Not to discourage you or your invention, but very few ideas will become commercially successful. If and when the firm says they have a good track record, ask for a list of successful clients and contact them. Should the company refuse to give you such a list then you might see that as an indicator to not trust them. Do not give into high pressure sales tactics. If they tell you that you need to hurry up, that usually means they just want your money as soon as possible. Some companies might tell you that they ran a patent search and that your invention is completely unique. Most of the time the searchs are incomplete or conducted in the wrong category.

During a standard sales pitch they will tell you the following: “Our research, engineering, and patent attorney has evaluated your invention”. It’s unlikely that they have shown your invention to anyone, this is normally follwed by a request for a large lump sum of money up front. Don’t do it, keep your hard earned money in the bank or where ever you keep it.

Thankfully, the American Inventors Protection Act of 1999 gives your rights when working with an invention promotion firm. They should provide you with the number of inventions it has evaluated, whether the evaluations were positive or negative. The total number of customers, how many of those customers received a net profit and how many of those customers have licensed their inventions through their company. This information should reach as far back as 5 years, they should also be able to give names and addresses of all the invention promotion companies they have been affiliated with in the last 10 years.

Christian Coaching - Biblical Conflict Resolution

Problems happens. It starts with the conflict of pulling the covers off and stepping out of bed. So far so good. You bath, shave, get to work, then something happens. (You knew it would, right?)

Trouble can come from every direction. A delayed product shipment causes a customer to miss a deadline. A salesperson (maybe even you!) promises more than your business could deliver. A prospect finds a defect in one of your widgets that needs redesigning right away.

We all know that missed deadlines are going to occur in life. Setbacks that strain relations between you and your client. Setbacks that can cause disappointment and mistrust to build. Will this mean the end of a once great relationship?

Not necessarily, when strains rise between you and a customer, it may be time for a real conversation. It is time to clear the air and address the setback that is causing trouble. But how do you keep a tough conversation from becoming a full-scale feud that forever damages relations with your customer?

Here are 4 principles to get you through the difficult conversations that can make or break your business. Interpersonal obstacles or your hot buttons as they are called, are the emotional responses set off by the words or actions of others during arguments. You feel blocked during conflict when you perceive the other person’s comments or actions as threatening to your goals in some way. Common obstacles include real or perceived attacks to your competence, worth, freedom, and sense of contribution.

Your hot buttons can foul you up in argument because they cause you to misconstrue, switch off, criticize, or go off on the wrong trail. They also trigger a set of emotional responses that may lead to escalation.

When you are exploding, your brain may endure what is said to be a neural hijacking. The brain recognizes a threat, announces an emergency and moves into combat. This hijacking occurs so fast that the conscious, thinking portion of the brain does not yet fully comprehend what is happening.

So, you are off and running. While saying he rubs me the wrong way suggests it is the other persons duty to knock it off, only you can deal with your own sparks. Everyone’s bait is a little different, so what prompts me may not spark you. This is why attributing others for trapping you is not very positive. You squander time expecting them to change how they respond, when only you can change your own attitudes.

How do you sidestep a ploy instead of point fingers? Here are some effective principles for discovering, noting, and controlling conflict prompts. Start with reflecting your motives. Keeping your calm and in control during conflict is in a large part dependent upon the examining effort you do when you are not in situation.

Learn what sparks you and why you are triggered. Get down to the source. A coach is an excellent resource to walk you through the process. Denying your motives is like building a house without planning. Educate yourself other ways to handle it. Once you are casual interactions. You probably would not take Spanish 101 and then offer your services as an guru. By using your new skills often when the critical problem comes, you will be better able to stay balanced and masterfully defuse the situation.

In the heat of the moment, stop. Take note of your feelings, reactions and tone of voice. A angry face, sweating, normally takes for your emotional flooding to ebb.

Do not use venting as a default method. While it is a well used idea that venting makes people feel better and promotes getting the emotional noise out of the way, research suggests that if you use this practice over and over, the opposite effect occurs. While it may take it away in the moment, venting anger as your normal mode may make you more angry and push your body and brain into a more intense state of anxiety or rage.

God’s Word tells us in Proverbs 26:4,5 says, the fool must be answered but not in a foolish manner. Research indicates that anger is a issue for every Christian. Sinful anger comprises roughly 90 percent of all counseling root questions . While it is not wrong to act in anger since the design of the emotion is to motivate. It is wrong if it is used improperly. It must be used to bring honor to God. After all, anger is a strong force that God built into his people with the intent of moving him to Christian action. Rage and anger are two distinct emotions. Anger is righteous in communication of feelings in response to someones behavior. Jesus got angry. Mark tells us that Jesus turned on the Pharisees in anger (3:5). John tells us of Jesus driving out the moneychangers from the house of God (2:17). God, Himself is angry with the wicked everyday (Psalm 7:11).

To call anger as wrong without qualification legistrates a careless and irresponsible use of the Bible. Our emotional make up is from God. All of our emotions when used in love are blessed. Emotions become sinful when we fail to use them in accord with Biblical limitations and structures. Scripture also teaches us to be angry AND sin not! Biblically appropriate anger can become inproper anger in two ways. By the venting anger and by the internalizing anger. That is by blowing up and clamming up. The Biblical way to handle anger is to concentrate it on the circumstance not toward the person. Deal with it as soon as possible, and rebuild the relationship. Putting the other before yourself.

60% of Americans Aspire to be Entrepreneurs. Is Your Kid One of Them?

Inspired by the huge successes of young entrepreneurs, many Americans are now aspiring to run their own business empire. What’s more, the need to nurture these skills from an early age has compelled parents to strongly encourage entrepreneurship development amongst their children. Thus, they become more attuned to knowledge and information on how to nurture these skills, and even implement daily activities which aim to develop these skills from pre-school onwards.

Indeed, the emphasis on entrepreneurship has gained ground in recent years due to massive layoffs and restructuring in corporate America. The lucrative profits made by business owners as compared to the absence of job security in employment, has prompted many to become self-employed.

What is encouraging though is that studies have shown that entrepreneurship can be learned and developed. It is not an in-born gift as many believe. Traits such as creative thinking, discipline, independence, confidence, strong communication skills, the ability to take risks, motivation and persistence can all be learnt and acquired over time.

However, in order to give our children a head start, these traits need to be developed from a young age. A study conducted by a former director of the Center of Entrepreneurial Leadership has discovered that entrepreneurial traits are already demonstrated by one in four kids while still at kindergarten. The down side to this is that if these skills are not developed during grade school, only 3% of high school graduates will utilize these abilities.

These findings reinforce the fact that as children don’t develop these skills in school, parents play a vital role in facilitating the development of these abilities. First, they need to teach their children the value of money. Apart from that, parents could involve their children in the process of making adult decisions. This will help them develop their maturity and decision-making skills. Another initiative parents could take is to pay their children to perform chores around the house, so that they are able to make the connection between working and earning money.

As for older kids, parents function as the mentor to their kids’ business ideas, providing positive input for idea expansion and improvement. In addition, parents are also in a position to help their kids develop their first business plan, and also to put their plan into action. Children could start with any small business ideas, a newspaper delivery business, dog-walking or even tutoring. In addition, parents need to constantly use positive reinforcements on their kids in order to boost self-esteem and confidence.

Last but not least, to encourage teamwork and exchange of ideas with their peers, kids should also be enrolled in entrepreneurial programs such as the Kids and Business seminars. These programs will help to infuse new insights, incorporate leadership skills and formally impart business skills to kids. Most importantly, these programs are essential to cover areas where parents are not equipped to teach. Ultimately, these kids will be ready with a full set of entrepreneurial skills that they can use to jumpstart their business.
