    I am sure what I am about to tell you is common knowledge amongst seasoned Internet Marketers and Business Web Site Owners but it takes a lot of hard graft and several years of trial and error to get any business running profitably. During this start – up phase there will be many sleepless nights and not much in the way of free time. However the exponential growth of the Internet has turned traditional Marketing on its head and provided unheard of opportunities for those who have little start up capital. One of the ways in which your message can reach a wide audience with breakneck speed is the ability to craft informative Articles covering your particular subject and areas of expertise and get them circulating.A lot

    Is the Real Estate Bubble About to Burst?
    How long can prices rise before no one can afford to buy? In a nutshell, that is the basic question that is niggling at the back of our collective subconscious when we talk about the real estate bubble.Real estate is appreciating at staggering rates - as much as 19% in some counties in Florida according to state officials. Meanwhile, on the financing scene, interest rates are low - and staying there. Low interest rates mean lower monthly mortgage payments - which means that many people are able to borrow MORE and afford larger mortgages and more expensive houses. Couple the astronomical increase in real estate value with the continuing trend of low interest rates, and you have a sizzling hot real estate market that just keeps getting hott
    The words in the left hand column are typically associated with the "left brain thinking," and the words in the right hand column are typically associated with "right brain thinking." These are simple generalizations, designed to get you thinking about the habitual thinking patterns you use to approach your work. The more integrated we are - the more we access and use the elements associated with both sides of this list in any given situation - the more effective we can be at generating elegant solutions and creating new systems. Most individuals and most organizations lean more toward one side or the other. Certainly, in our culture most organizational systems use more "left brain" approaches and would benefit greatly by balancing out their methods.

    I've developed a short quiz to help you determine your most common brain usage. Quickly scan the list for the words that apply to you in your work. Don’t think about it or try to figure it out—go by initial gut instinct. Keep track of how many words in each column describe your own. You don't have to choose between the 2 columns - just check off each word that resonates with you as part of your own process, even if they seem opposite. For example, you may find you already use both detailed and big picture thinking in your work. If so, check both.

    Home Staging Basics
    Selling a home is always a stressful time, but there are ways you can lessen the amount of time and increase your home's selling price. The process is called home staging, and you can do most of it yourself. It just takes time and a little elbow grease.First, make sure everything in your home shines--showers, tubs, countertops, ovens, floors, appliances, and anything else that buyers will be looking at as they tour your home. Although they can be a pain, that includes windows and skylights.Besides being spotless, all the rooms of your home should also be odor-free. That includes the bathroom, the laundry room, and your teenage son's room. Offensive odors are often the first thing potential buyers notice, which means they're also on

    Taking A Cooler View On Hot Desking
    What are the factors that need to be considered when looking at hot desking? This paper looks at the definition and factors involved in this type of working model.What is hot desking? – The provision of shared working space, where desks, PC, telephone are provided on an ‘as-required’ basis not on a ‘one-to-one’ basis. With the growth of mobile services, hot desking can also include the routing of voice and other messaging services to any location where the user is able to log in to their secure corporate network. Therefore telephone number, email and instant messaging can be routed to their location on the network and no longer to just one physical desk.Why should I consider hot desking? Most office des

    Okay, We Really Need to Analyze Postpartum Depression
    Clinicians and researchers use the term “postpartum depression,” or “PPD,” to refer to non-psychotic depression that occurs shortly after childbirth.Apart from the fact that it happens soon after childbirth, Postpartum Depression is clinically no different from a depressive episode that occurs at any other time in a woman’s life.Its symptoms are the same as in general depression, and must meet the same criteria for diagnosis. However, not surprisingly, the content of the symptoms of Postpartum Depression often focuses on motherhood or infant care topics.The most common elements associated with a postpartum depression symptom include* restlessness, irritability, or excessive crying* an inability to sleep or extr

    4 Whole Brain "Activation" Techniques

    Opposite functions - Spend some time doing everything with your non-dominant hand. Every time you break a dominance habit, you create new neural pathways and give the brain more options. It become easier to think in new ways throughout your day, and easier to adapt, respond and create in high pressure environments.

    Colored markers and unlined paper - Instead of using lined legal paper and a pen in meetings, brainstorming sessions or any other work related function, try use unlined paper and colored markers (I recommend the Sharpie fine point brand - they're vibrant and long lasting). Without exception, once you get used to the exhilarating freedom of working "outside the lines" and the new ideas it will produce, you won't go back to being mentally boxed in. Lines have a subconscious effect on us which keep the brain locked in habitual thought patterns. By removing the lines, the brain is more free to think multi-dimensionally instead of just linearly.

    Sensory Immersion - consciously engage all of your senses. Instead of coming to a situation from thinking alone, come to it form you sense of sight, sound, smell, taste and touch as well. The more senses you bring into a creative process, the more you expand your thinking and awareness, and the more information you receive.

    Embodiment - become the project, problem, vision, product and act from its point of view. New ideas will flood your mind. This is easy to prove. First, try imagining new features to add to any product in a certain time period, i.e., 5 minutes. You will come up with a number of features. Then, pretend you actually are the product - become the product -and start talking from it, again for 5 minutes. You will learn exponentially more about what it "needs." The act of embodying a product, process, concept, etc. will give you new insights and awareness' into the product, and therefore, potential new features, that you cannot get from just thinking about it.
