In the mid 1990's Daniel Goleman took the business world by storm claiming the Emotional Intelligence could impact on success more than IQ. (Or that was the populist interpretation).
However the reality is that in business given a level playing field when two professionals have similar levels of IQ, similar levels of experience and similar personalities - and then the role of emotional intelligence may start to play a part in differentiating levels of success.

3 Tips For Developing That Winning Attitude
What is success? The answer depends on who's responding to the question. There are as many definitions of success as there are people. Success involves every facet of life: your relationships with others, your ability to make it in the business world, the health that you need to preserve, and the happiness that you enjoy. It also involves a security that goes well beyond financial security; I'm talking about the security of knowing that you have the ...Read the rest of this entry »

Perhaps you've considered starting a home business. Just the
thought of working from the comfort of your own home has a
certain appeal. No more alarm clocks, no more schedules, no more
rush hour traffic, and most importantly, no more supervisors or

The real question is not why start a home business, but how to

When I first came across the e-currency trading business on the
advice of a friend, I didn't take the opportunity very
seriously. It appeared to be just another "hyped up money making
scheme." From what my friend was telling me it seemed too good
to be true. However, being naturally curious and with a deep
desire to profit from the internet, I decided to do some
research on my own.
The very first thing I did was run a search on e-currency scams.

"How Often Should You E-mail Your List?"
by Joe Vitale
Last month someone on my e-mail list wrote me a long e-mail
calling me an "Internet whore." He went on to say he was
un-subscribing from my newsletter. He added that I was
"slocking ***** and that I had "lost my ethics."
I thought about the anonymous writer and reflected on what he
said. It made me wonder how often any of us doing business
online should send out our email. Weekly? Monthly? Hourly?
Are there any rules at all?
