What Are the Real Secrets to Success and Entrepreneurship?

No one can doubt that there are a ton of books on entrepreneurship and success. Every time you turn around someone is trying to offer advice on how you can succeed. There are hundreds of thousands of websites telling you for instance how to make a million dollars on the Internet, yet very few of those folks really know how, they just hope that you give them some money, usually $39.95 for secret instructions of how to do it.

You see they hope 10s of thousands of people will send them money so that they might make the million dollars that they are telling you that you can make. Silly isn't it? Well, what did the famous circus founder say; "There is a sucker born every minute" and I guess it goes with out saying, if you are buying secret promises on the Internet; "Buyer Beware!"

Still, with all the shrills and hype out there is a little unnerving some time. So, perhaps I might save you some time and money by telling you right here and now that the secret to success is simple and I give it to you FREE, yes I know a four-letter, word, still we both know; free is your favorite price. So, what is the secret to success? Well here it is:

Work Hard, Work Smart, Make Lots of Friends and Never Give Up - Lance 2007.

What about the secrets to building a strong entrepreneurial team? Well, there is a good book that you can buy on eBay used for probably under $5.00 and so let me recommend it to you:

"Secrets of Entrepreneurial Leadership - Building Top Performance Through Trust and Teamwork" by Ted Nicholas - 1993.

Have you developed a sense of mission and shown your team how to set goals, while learning how to say NO, eloquently and use rewards for superior performance only when applicable? Do you provide your employees and team an innovative and creative setting - have you developed a strong company culture and are you keeping score of the results? The author suggests 20-trust building methods, and those alone are worth the price of the book.

When I say that you need to make lots of friends, one thing I mean is you need to work together with a team you can trust, an inner circle of friends and rather than compete you need to learn to cooperate:

"The Death of Competition - Leadership & Strategy in the age of the Business Ecosystem" by James F. Moore - 1996.

Let me just list a few of the chapter headings in this book: Why do businesses fail, Why use the ecological metaphor, Co-evolution, Searching the Terrain for Opportunities (Common Ground), The revolution is spreading, The Red Queen Affect, Renewal or death, The Paradox of Prowess Activity. Just the chapter titles gives you a sense of how to get it done, what works and why.

So, let me recommend that you pick up a copy of this book too and read it thru. The biggest secret of all to success is that there is no secret; Work Hard, Work Smart, Make Lots of Friends and Never Give Up! Think on it, try it out, you will see what I mean, a happier, and more successful you.

L. Winslow is an Economic, Political and Technology Advisor to the Online Think Tank, a Futurist and retired entrepreneur http://www.worldthinktank.net . Mr. Winslow's motto in life is; "Work Hard, Work Smart, Make Lots of Friends and Never Give Up!" Lance's future challenges include bicycling across the US and writing 100 eBooks, he has written 10 so far, even considering co-authors for a few, perhaps you wish to write a book too?



 

Stop Bad Breath

Most bad breath problems begin in the mouth, and are a result of poor dental hygiene. Persistent bad odor from the mouth is indicative of the presence of bacteria that coat the teeth and gums. Food particles lodged in the cavities and back of the tongue decay and release sulfur compounds, which cause of bad breath. In order to stop bad breath, one must follow a proper cleaning regimen that includes brushing regularly, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash.

Brushing the teeth, gums, and tongue is recommended after every meal, to prevent the buildup of bacteria which feed on decaying food particles. Several types of toothpaste are available in the market today, ranging from regular toothpaste to brands that provide extra care for sensitive gums and teeth. Many dentists suggest the use of fluoride-based toothpaste, as fluoride is a poison that kills bacteria.

Brushing dentures with ordinary toothpaste can result in discoloration and scratches on the surface. It is therefore essential to clean them with either soap or lukewarm water, or specially manufactured denture creams and brushes. It is also advisable to thoroughly clean the area that fits against the gums and teeth. This will prevent plaque buildup on the dentures and keep them fresh and clean.

Mouthwashes tend to disguise bad breath instead of curing or preventing it. In fact, some conventional mouthwashes leave our mouth dry and thereby make it more hospitable to bacteria. Chlorine-dioxide-based mouthwashes are the latest in bad breath prevention. These mouthwashes attack the sulfur compounds responsible for bad odor. The simplest way to rinse the mouth, dislodge food particles, and stimulate saliva flow is by drinking water.

For those who cannot brush after meals or snacks, chewing sugarless gum is advised. The chewing action prevents the mouth from becoming dry by stimulating saliva flow, which in turn cleans the mouth and dissolves sulfur compounds.

Bad Breath provides detailed information on Bad Breath, Bad Breath Cure, Cause Of Bad Breath, Stop Bad Breath and more. Bad Breath is affiliated with Clear Braces.



 

Know Your Man: Love And Sex

Q: What is the similarity between a man and a microwave oven? A: They warm up in 15 seconds!

"Men have two emotions: Hungry and horny... If you see one without an erection, make him a sandwich." ~ Anon

Q: How can you tell if a man is horny? A: He's breathing.

"Sex alleviates tension. Love causes it." ~ Woody Allen

In matters of love and sex, of course, as with many other things, men and women are not in the same page. Men need sex to give love; women need love to have sex. We all have our experience regarding this: you want some cuddling and he wants sex. You need some TLC; he wants sex. You want closeness and warmth; he wants sex. You really want to take a nap; he wants sex. Can they think about nothing else? It seems they cant. According to statistics, men think about sex an average of 6 times per hour. Six times per hour! Can you imagine that? It is no wonder he has a sexual response for every single physical gesture we made.

At the beginning of relationships, when we are in love (or should I say, lust?) and we see God in the form of the beloved, we are game. Sex? Sure, we say. We have no problem with that. Then, times goes by and we start to wear out. We have children and only by a miracle we feel like having sex ever again. Anything can be an aggravation in our daily life and we fell like having no sex whatsoever. We change big time; men dont.

Given that we are the ones who change; can we take responsibility for the integrity of our relationship? I think we must admit that we are at fault, and so, it is up to us to remedy the situation. How do we do this? By giving in. Also, think that most of the times when we dont want to have sex but do it anyway, we usually change our minds when we are getting closer to an orgasm. So, fake till you make it.

Before you set your attack dogs at me, let me say that it makes sense to oblige. If love is what we want, and we can surely get it after sex, then, it follows that the only way out is by giving sex and receiving love in return. This may very well be the breaking point of our relationship. Are we willing to do what it takes to save it?

Word of Advice Ladies: This is definitely the sink or swim situation. Perhaps we could compromise: a ratio of 3:1, meaning 3 times we have sex first to one time we receive love first. We can also compromise on the same ratio being: 3 times we have sex, one time we do not.

Gents: Given that this is probably the most important factor in your relationship, try to understand that women go through changes. Though it is totally unfair, perhaps you could compromise and give some loving before you are consumed by lust?

Series - "What The Doctors Aren't Telling You About Your Health" 1-The Loop

Have you had your first heart scare yet?

It usually starts with pains in the chest, perhaps breathlessness or pains in the arm?

But you gave up smoking several years ago and you always keep fit,exercising two to three times per week. So what has happened?

You are now in the loop having all those tests and that cocktail of drugs the doctors has you on. Well you don't want to take them but you've no choice really have you?

You are feeling scared but you don't want to admit it.

Don't feel bad, you're just normal and something is happening to you that is outside your control and you are just trying to make some sense of it.

Well that was my experience too pretty scary I can tell you. I've been very active all of my life. I played soccer from being a youth and then took to playing squash and racquet ball.

True I had smoked for years but it's more than twenty since I gave up.

I had chest pains down the middle of my chest. My doctor who knew my history and my activity levels checked my heart and said it's probably o.k. but I should go to the clinic for more thorough tests.

He was right of course but that was the start.

I entered the clinical process 'THE LOOP' as I like to call it. Getting into 'THE LOOP' was easy, getting out was the hardest thing in the world.

After all the tests and the endless waiting and worrying (including an angiogram) I was told I had an artery that was 70% blocked. What did that mean? The doctors still hadn't related my pains to a heart condition. I told them I'd had a couple of injuries playing soccer but it made no difference.

It took six months for them to decide to just leave me on a cocktail of drugs and wait and see what would happen. The drugs of course were the insurance policy-the just in case whether I needed them or not.

The pharmaceutical companies would be grateful for that prognosis but I wasn't.

The hardest part of the whole process was getting to grips with the psychological aspects of the experience. Was I now subhuman? How were people looking at me? Had my life changed for ever? Would ever get my health back?

It is a very difficult thing to buck the system to take responsibility for your own health but you can do it.

Being an inquisitive kind of guy I asked the doctor "Is it possible to reduce this plaque buildup in my arteries". He replied emphatically 'NO'! But my searches on the internet told me different.

After my research I became convinced I could reverse the process of plaque buildup-in other words clean up my arteries. I tried to convince my doctor and the cardiologist and everyone I spoke to connected to the medical profession but to no avail.

Take the insurance policy they said; this time it was my reply that was an emphatic NO!

Here I am two and a half years later still playing squash twice a week and soccer once. I feel really fit. I have changed my lifestyle of course and discovered much about how to be healthy, learning the 'Secrets' I would like to share with you (more on that later).

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the western world today. What many people don't realize is that they can prevent it before it happens.

They just need to know what to do!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have personally struggled taking responsibility for my own health, its difficult but well worth it in the long run.

In my next letter I will tell you what I did about taking responsibility and how it changed my life.

Talk to you soon!
