At these times, it’s tempting to give up and sink into despair — especially if the setback is a large one. However, you can overcome your financial challenges. It takes hard work and determination, but it is possible. Here are 4 steps to take as you work to overcome your financial challenges: 1....

Parents receive lots of child-rearing advice, including, “spare the rod and spoil the child.” But researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have discovered that children who are spanked before the age of 2 are more likely to have behavioral problems years later when they enter grade school. “Spanking children under the age of 2 puts those children into a higher risk group for behavioral problems later,” says Eric P. Slade, assistant professor at...

Is Kale bad? Kale (and other cruciferous vegetables, including cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, turnips, and collards) contain a compound called isothiocyanates, which appear to block an enzyme in the thyroid. This enzyme, TPO, is responsible for attaching iodine to the thyroid hormones to make them active. Basically, these vegetables are thought to block your body from using the iodine that it needs. If the thyroid doesn’t have enough iodine, the cells start overgrowing and the thyroid gets...

The interest rate pendulum has swung in favor of homeowners again. A steady decline in recent weeks brought down the average rate for a 30-year fixed home loan below 4 percent to 3.92 percent this week, the lowest level in more than a year. As recently as January, the average was 4.53 percent, according to mortgage giant Freddie Mac. That’s good news for homeowners who are locked in at a higher interest rate and weren’t able to refinance before rates began ticking up last year. The decline...

For the better of three decades, the media has tackled the problem of failing relationships and how they can be saved. The great self-help giants, John Gottman, Harville Hendricks, David Scharch, and M. Scott Peck, opened the doors and many other wonderful writers have followed. Separately and together, they have offered profound advice on how to choose the right partner, build a great relationship, and fix it when it’s faltering. Their message is heartfelt and well-intended:  every relationship,...

I’m a geek and given the choice I will always choose to hangout with my own “kind”. Having launched a product and started a service business I quickly realised that I had to break out of my habits and start going to where my customers really are. That’s why, when I was given the opportunity to speak to an entrepreneur and startup founder about this subject, I immediately jumped on board. Jeremy Kagan is the founder & CEO of Pricing Engine. A web service that helps the “little guy”...

As the leader of your team, you must clearly understand and be able to pass on the purpose of your organization and your team’s role within that organization. If you don’t know the purpose of your efforts, you certainly won’t be able to inspire your team to success. Communicating purpose will take more than requiring your team to memorize the company mission statement, however. It must become part of the culture of what everyone in your organization thinks about, says, and does each day. It...

I tend to believe that the reason people lack confidence comes down to 2 things. One, they’ve been beaten up emotionally over the course of their lifetime and thus don’t know how to find confidence on their own. Two, their lack of confidence stems from the unknown. In a strange way, those tips and most of the other posts I write on this blog are geared towards education of what good leadership principles are and how they can be used. I also hope I talk enough about the types of outcomes one can...

When anyone working with you starts to talk about your business, your products or services or you, it’s either because they’re really happy about the experience, or they are unhappy with it. Sometimes the disconnect happens when they feel that interacting with you or your business should “flow” a certain way. There is an expectation of the connection that is not met.  All of your interactions with your connections, regardless of whether they are carried out physically or online, need to...
