Don't Give Up on Your Ex Just Yet - All of Us Make Mistakes But Sometimes We Do Change

If your ex has made a mistake that seems too big to forgive right now then it may be okay to take a short break in your relationship to think it over. It seems that life has to have a few bad times to help us appreciate the good times. If your ex is willing to communicate with you it may still be worked out. Both many have blurted out hurtful things to each other while passions were running high. Don't give up on your ex just yet.

It is time to cool off and think about what you have had in the past. Think about good times that brought the both of you together. Think about the positive things your relationship has produced. Think also about your children and what this breakup will do to them.

If you decide it is worth the effort there are some things you can do. First of all you must decide whether you can forgive if your mate asks for it. In the mean time try to move on with your life to show them that you are not desperate. Be civil and keep the communication lines open. If you have been controlling and making the spouses life miserable be willing to ask them to forgive you as well. It usually "takes two to tango" as the saying goes so if you are willing be humble as well and ask for forgiveness even if you feel it is not your fault it will open the lines of communication up for the spouse to ask you for forgiveness as well.

From this starting of forgiveness it is possible to rekindle the love you had before. If you can forgive you won't have to give up on your ex. If you cannot forgive one another there is no chance for a loving relationship to exist.

The Top 10 Reasons Why Employers Don't Give Recognition to Their Employees

Let us begin by getting a good understanding of what recognition really is.

The Merriam Webster dictionary simply defines recognition as: special notice or attention.

Well that seems pretty straight forward.

"There are two things people want more than sex and money -- recognition and praise." --Mary Kay Ash

Let us examine the top 10 reasons why employers don't give recognition to their employees and offer some recommendations.

"Some Employers do not know how." Recommendation: If you don't know how to do something, learn or find someone to teach you. I'm sure that you would not allow your employees to use this excuse for not getting their work done. I did a quick search on Google and came across a number of companies that specialize in employee recognition programs.
"Some Employers believe they don't have time." Recommendation: Find the time. This is a pretty lame excuse for not offering special notice to employees that deserve it. Perhaps schedule a special time on a weekly or monthly basis to offer this recognition.
"It is believed by some employers that employees don't care about it that much." Recommendation: WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! Ask yourself one question, "Do you like it when someone expresses appreciation for something that you have done?" Of course you do.
"Some Employers don't believe that recognition is part of the job." Recommendation: As an employer, you are responsible for the overall productivity of your company. Let me ask you this question, "What type of environment would you perform better in, one that ignores your efforts or one that rewards your efforts?" I rest my case.
"Some Employers don't believe in rewarding employees for just doing their job." Recommendation: OK, I understand where you are coming from; however, let us take a look at this from a different angle. What if you implemented a recognition program for your employees? Do you thing that the overall productivity level of your employees would increase or decrease?
"Some Employers believe that recognition becomes meaningless if done too much." Recommendation: I believe that a company should have a recognition program that all employees are not only aware of, but eligible to participate. What I mean by this is some companies have a recognition program, but it is only for their sales staff. I am talking about a program that encompasses every possible employee. Now, this program will have a stated frequency that is dictated by you. If you control the frequency, then you probably won't feel that it is being done too much.
"Some Employers believe that they are limited in what kind of recognition they can do." Recommendation: This is totally understandable as well. However, the last time I checked, saying "Thank You" was still free. Gift cards are an awesome and reasonably priced method of recognition.
"Some Employers believe that sometimes recognition is awkward or uncomfortable." Recommendation: Recognition can be done either publicly or privately. Remember, the people receiving the recognition will not necessarily feel awkward or uncomfortable. Start with something that is within your comfort zone and then expand as you get more comfortable. The important thing is to start your recognition program.
"Some Employers believe that employees that get recognition will stop working hard, because they have reached a certain recognition level." Recommendation: If you have children, you know that this belief does not hold any truth. The more you praise a child, the more he/she wants that attention. Remember the old adage: Recognition is what babies cry for and men die for.
"Some Employers don't believe that they should give recognition to employees if they don't get recognition themselves." Recommendation: You need to take your eyes off yourself and put them on others. This is not about you. The more that you focus on other people the more they will grow and perhaps someone will recognize you along the way.

Remember, saying "thank you" is free and a great place to start a recognition program for your employees.

Recognition is important in any size organization. It is amazing how much a little attention and praise goes in today's world. Building relationships is a pillar to good leadership and management.

Don't Give Up So Easily

When you are working towards your goals, there comes a point when it gets hard. You don't seem to be progressing as much as you think you should be, or you are not progressing like you were at the beginning. You realize that you have hit a spot that is rather "slow", or "hard." As it continues, your frustration grows and you try to figure out what is going on, but you can't find a solution. A lot of people tend to give up at this point, but they are often times closer to where they want to be than they think. They just hit a plateau. This is usually the point where you may want to try working harder. One thing people eventually realize after giving up is that they were right there to meeting their goals.

Some of the places that are highly effected by this point in life is fitness and online business. A lot of people start their diet and fitness program with the object of getting in better shape, either losing fat or gaining muscle, or both. They find themselves making good progress at the beginning but somewhere along the way, maybe two or three weeks, they notice that their progress has slowed down. At that point they find themselves falling back into older habits which were destructive.

It's similar with online marketing. you put together your website or blog and you get affiliate links and you learn HTML and other stuff like that and you start getting excited. But after you have set your site up, you find out that getting the money is a different story. A lot of people at this point figure, "Well it doesn't work for me."

The best thing to do is to continue working and in some cases, read and find some different ways to get your goals closer to being fulfilled. Like in dieting, if you are taking the deprivation road instead of substitution road, you may find your progress short lived. It would be better to learn what you can about Nutrition.

The same goes for internet marketing. You have the site, now find out how you can get the traffic. Once you figure out the way past the plateau, you will find yourself almost falling towards your goal. The plateau was put there for you to figure out if this pursuit is what you really want. Giving up too easily, or throwing the towel too early is a sad thing to do in the goals you pursue, because often times, you end up realizing what you could've done to make it and you will regret not doing that and it will eat away at you for the coming days.

Don't Give Up Now If You Want to Own Your Own Franchise

Many folks want to buy a franchise right now, they've lost or are worried about being amongst the next round of layoffs, and they just don't see the opportunity right now in these economic conditions to make the move into owning their own small business or franchised outlet. If this sounds like you, let me in on a little secret. First, look in your mirror, and ask yourself what you really want and then set a goal to make it happen.

Look, a lot of folks right now are caught in self-doubt and an uncertain future and although they want to become a franchisee in their own business, it just doesn't look possible. They are asking themselves questions like; "Should I Give Up Hope in Owning My Own Franchise?"

Certainly not, especially if you are a great person, not afraid of hard work, and want to own your own business as part of your American Dream. However, if you are a quitter than by all means "give up" after all, isn't that what quitters are good at; quitting? Sure it is, and believe me when I tell you this, no franchise system will want a quitter on their team of franchisees.

Remember that saying; "Winners Never Quit and Quitters Never Win!" Well, there is a lot of truth to that. So if it is your goal to own a franchised business of your own, then continue to shop for the best franchise business opportunity, spend extra time asking questions, meeting current franchisees, and doing your due diligence. You see, if you are truly serious and really want it then there is a franchisor that really wants you. Thus, they will be willing to go out of their way to help you make it so.

Some franchisees are financing the "franchise fees" and they are working closely with banks so they can get their share of what little is available in our currently tightened commercial credit markets. When there is a will there is a way. The question is do you have the desire to go the distance, to search for the perfect franchise for you, then seize that opportunity; and take that ball and run it in for the touchdown? Yes or no, it is up to you. You can give up and quit or go the distance and score.

Your Dreams Come True When You Don't Give Up

Working everyday at you job can sometimes makes you fill like you gave up on your dreams of becoming wealthy. You feel like you just settled and then you start to wonder if it will ever happen. Don't give up just yet. Dreams come true if you chance a few things in your life. Sometimes it is all about who you know.

There all types of people can get in your way of making your dreams come true. Those people who tell you when you get a good idea for a business that I tried it and it didn't work for me. so what! Just because they couldn't make it work doesn't guarantee that you will fail. People try new thing all the time and some will succeed and some will not. That is the way life is. Maybe they didn't do enough research before they got started. Or could it be that they didn't put much effort behind what they started. Who knows? There failure is no reason to your dreams of success. So don't give up before you even get started.

Then there are those people who you hang out with all the time. You work with them, make roughly the same money as them and you have the same insurance and 401k plan also. Being around the same people can keep you in the same place. If you want to move up the latter sometimes you need to start hanging around people who are doing better than you. Dreams come true when you associate with people who have made it. Learn from them so you can elevate to their level. Pick up any tips you can use to start you on the path to success. You don't have to totally abandon all of your old friends just try to make some new rich friends.

If you can, try to stay away from those dream killers out their. You know who they are. They are the ones who are always telling you to not take any risk. Every time you get a new idea they come in a tell you what can go wrong. They only have something negative to say when you tell them your plan. Don't give up just because they are telling you that it will not work. How would they know? They never took a chance to make their dreams come true so don't let them stop you.

Now we get to the worst person of all that stops you from your dreams. This person means well but is holding you back. That person is you. That's right, you. Sometimes you are your own worst enemy when it come to making your dreams come true. You procrastinate when you should be working hard, give up when you only got started a short while, make excuses about why your are not rich yet and on and on. The one person you don't give up on is yourself. Only you can make your dreams come true. You just have to get out of your own way.

Now that you see that people around you can play a role in your dreams you have to make a decision. Don't give up and let everybody stop you from making your dreams come true. It may not happen over night but it can happen if you stick with it.

Message of Being a Winner and a Human Being

Be careful who you listen to, and take advice from when it comes to making money in your business.

Recently, I read a critical review of Empower Network as a business model.

(so this person can save face, I'll leave their name out of it)

The review was extremely well written as a review, criticizing our marketing training, skewed entirely towards the negative. To be
exact, it had around 3,000 words, was 2 pages long, and had one positive thingt to say about us.

In the comments, the author was responding to every single comment, with responses like "if only people knew the better way... the real online business model... they would never fall for this sort of thing..."

Here's the thing - the site actually LOOKED like someone who makes money.

(By the way, it's rare for people who ACTUALLY make money to directly spend a lot of time criticizing other businesses)

It had good design, decent lead capture functions, and was ranked in the top 12,000 most trafficked blogs online.

It SEEMED like the person was an expert at making money online through blogging... and I even thought they must.

After all, back my 3rd month online - I was making $30,000 a month selling stuff that was impossible to sell, that payed from 20-40% commissions - with a shitty design, a slow loading site, database issues, and working out of a tiny spare room in my parents house in Alaska.

So this site - the top 12,000 online, beutiful design, a list of 19,000 subscribers - this person is an EXPERT at running a business online, right?

Well, I thought so, which is why I was perplexed by the review... until I poked around on the site for 5 minutes and found... (get this) this person ACTUALLY reports how much money they make.

I saw that, and immediately clicked on the most recent report, from October of 2012... I figured - man, this lady must be banking!!!

LOL!

Net income for the month of October? LESS than $700.

Less than $700!

When I had 1,000 people on my list, selling affiliate products, blogging from a shitty design, my income was $30,000 a month - and here is a person, with 20,000 subscribers - blogging for 3 years, who isn't making an AVERAGE american income, criticizing our training!

LMAO!

Seriously?!?!?!?!???? Your going to criticize a business model that has done $20.4 million in sales in 12 months blogging - when you're a blogger that makes LESS than $700 a month with a list that's 19 times the size of my list when I was making $30,000 a month? YOU are going to criticize ME?

"Everyone, save the people from that aweful Empower Network, where people make money blogging... Do it my way!!! It's better! After all, they had way over 500 people last month make more than me, 50 employees who make more than me... ALL of whom know less technical skills... and work less hard at this... but - my way is better! Listen to me! Give me attention, too! I'm an expert... and I can teach you how to be a guru, too... a guru who ALMOST is making $700 a month after my third year... Follow me, and maybe you'll make $700 in 3 years, too!"

How about the unethical practice of criticizing a business teaching people to make money online, and pretending you're an expert, when you can't even make an AVERAGE American income? Last month - we had nearly 700 people make more money than you, mystery blogger.

So here's my advice:

Take your criticism on how we run our business, roll it into a ball, and shove it up your ass. Keep being broke.

"Nobody ever built a statue to a critic." -unknown

Again, this affirmed several things that I've known, and taught for years:

1. People who make money don't directly attack each other generally. It's a waste of our time. (notice how I left this person's name out - and please, leave it out of the comments if you know who it is - this is not a bad person, they just have some poverty issues.)

2. Critics are generally broke.

3. Technical skills do not make money. Pretty sites don't make money. Good marketing makes money.

4. What we give people at Empower Network is extraordinary, in both value, community, our products, and our ability to make money blogging, and marketing. There isn't really anything like what we do online.

5. It's best to ignore the complete, absolute, total losers out there, who spend hours, weeks, and days being negative, criticizing others, and pretend that they're being 'fair' and 'unbiased'

Why? It's because of the truth:

There is no such thing as an 'unbiased' opinion. All perceptions in life are controlled by our beliefs, focus, and perception - when we have a belief - it is by definition biased.

6. It's important to realize, if you're going to be biased, be biased and rich - control your attention, and focus on people who can ACTUALLY help you get what you want.

Here's who those people are not:

People who are not making any money, and are spending an enormous amount of time criticizing others to get attention, who can't make any money with all their 'guru hood' and wisdom.... can only help you have what they have - which is..... (drum roll):

A crappy, miserable existence, that they are doing their best to project on to you. Protect your mind. Ignore the wussies.

I think when we first launched, people thought when I made fun of Gurus, it was people like Dillard, Seig, Ray and Fernie, Budd, etc. Not the case - those guys know what they're doing.

I'm slamming the people who think that they are a guru, and that you need to be like them - who don't know what they are doing, don't know how to sell, have never made a lot of money in their life in this business - who lead you astray.

It's time for YOU to get a massive, unbelievable result in your business.

Hit 'like' if you think people making $700 a month have no right in business to criticize the marketing effectiveness of a business that's doing $5 million in sales a month.

Hit 'share' if you think it's important to listen to people who ACTUALLY know how to get what you want.

Love you all.

Lose the Last 5 Pounds - Don't Give Up Now!

Nothing can be more frustrating than being on a diet and trying to lose the last 5 pounds. It's almost like those last few pounds sit there and mock your every effort to get rid of them.

One of the best ways you can use to lose the last 5 pounds is to fast. Fasting has become more popular lately because of all the herbal cleansers that are on the market. You can use one of these herbal cleansers to lose the last 5 pounds or you can do it the old fashioned way and just drink water.

Drinking water is what cleans out your system when you take a colonic cleanse. This is a concoction that contains herbal ingredients that pass through your system. You drink this drink and then usually have to drink several glasses of water afterwards. This runs through your system quickly, cleaning out your digestive tract and your colon.

If you have been on a diet and have been successful down to the last 5 pounds, congratulations! You only have 5 pounds left to go and you can lose the last 5 pounds by either fasting or simply switching your diet that you are on. If you have been watching your calories, then switch to a high protein diet. If you have been on a high protein diet, switch to one that watches calories. A switch will usually help you lose the last 5 pounds.

When you want to lose the last 5 pounds, do not get frustrated. You made it this far and have only a short distance to go now. Lose the last 5 pounds by either fasting or switching diets and you will have reached your goal weight.

Don't Give With Expectations of Receiving

Is there really a correct way to give? I believe there is, and so I'm moved to examine my philosophy with you today. We must give with a sincere gratitude. Begin to appreciate the fact that you have to give, and let that alone be your repayment. Watch what abundances come your way!

I give a lot. In fact, I'm always giving, (sometimes my very last), yet no one ever gives to me. Does this sound like you? If it does, perhaps you are giving the wrong way.

Let's stop and think. Isn't it funny that you always give, and no one ever gives you, yet you still always have to give? What gives with that?

Those who give always seem to 'have' to give. Those who don't give, perhaps, just don't have much to give at all. So maybe a remedy of having more is simply to give more... without expectations of receiving that is...

To freely give is to not expect anything in return. After all, when you decide to give something, it comes from your heart, does it not?

If you give with the expectation of receiving something in return - give a friend a hammer or even $10,000 - then the fact that you were even able to give is probably all the repayment you may ever receive.

If you want something in return, then why give in the first place? Why not sell, or pawn, your gift? Why not trade it for something else? If it's money you're giving, why not invest it and collect the interest in return? After all, you are defeating the purpose of giving the gift, in principal, anyway!

Open your mind and your heart now! Today, use this principal of giving without expecting, and watch your pot of abundance begin to overflow! Not only are you going to feel good that you gave, but you'll begin to appreciate the fact that you were even able to give, and also, you watch, abundances from sources not yet thought of will begin to come into your life ten fold!

Give freely today - plant your seeds; and watch as the universe and GOD returns your freely given gift exponentially - your seeds will burst into gorgeous fruitful flowers and strong, brilliant, graceful trees! Your heart has already harvested great abundance!
