Make Money Blogging Only 2 Hours Every Day
Make Money Blogging Only 2 Hours Every Day 5 In the spring of 2007, I discovered Yaro Starak- one of the most successful self-made bloggers in the world. UPDATE February 2016: Blog Mastermind has reopened again. Join Blog Mastermind Now Yaro is from Australia and is one of the best known bloggers in the world partly because he earns well over $5000 monthly from his blogging activities. When Yaro announced he was opening a paid mentoring program at the beginning of summer 2007, it sounded like the perfect chance to take my blogging to another level.eval Yaro achieves his high earnings with only 2 hours of blogging per day. Wow! I thought. I have to try this. So I joined the first virtual class of Blog Mastermind. And you know what?eval It was alot of work in the beginning. But⦠I liked that. No get rick quick schemes. An emphasis on solid, proven information that's immediately useful and practical, especially if you've been hesitating to begin blogging. Plus, Yaro himself is surprisingly accessible. Which actually makes sense since he spends 2 hours per day blogging and that's his only job. I was going to tell you about Yaro and Blog Mastermind later after I'd completed the program. But this can't wait any longer. Yaro just announced that the program will be closing to new members on Monday, December 10th. You only have until then to join up. If you'd like to get an idea why I'm still happily following this program and paying for it after 6 months, take a look at this sample lesson that Yaro has just made available to the public. A full income in just 2 hours a day is a hard thing to pass up. Thinking different?

Dont Sweat It! Natural Ways to Control Summer Sweating
Dont Sweat It! Natural Ways to Control Summer Sweating Now that summer is (unofficially!) here, most of us are delighted to enjoy the sunshine and warm weather. However, excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is an issue that afflicts many more people than you might think and can stem from a large number of underlying triggers. Though it may seem like a trivial matter, it can cause a handful of setbacks: stained clothing, physical discomfort, and social embarrassment, among others. Deodorant may seem like the obvious fix, but this household staple is in fact teaming with harmful toxins such as parabens, propylene glycol, aluminum compounds, and many others. To remedy the burden of hyperhidrosis sans carcinogens and other toxic ingredients, go for a natural fix. Dr. Christopher Calapai suggests the following natural solutions to control summer sweating and finally enjoy the warm weather in comfort: Apply a Natural Astringent like Witch Hazel Witch hazel is a commonly used natural herb often found in liquid form as a skin toner. The same potent astringent properties that make it a popular natural toner also make it a great sweat-reducer. When topically applied, witch hazel acts as an antiperspirant by tightening the pores. Wet a cotton ball with witch hazel and apply to your most problematic areas. Other natural astringents include black tea, tea tree oil, and apple cider vinegar. Supplement with B-Vitamins and Vitamin D Excessive sweating may very well be a sign of an unhealthy endocrine system. To restore hormonal imbalances to optimal levels, B-vitamins will often do the trick. Likewise, vitamin D is an essential piece in hormonal regulation, and nearly half of Americans are deficient in it! Transition from Processed Foods to Natural Ones Though highly processed foods may be practical and cheap, they are packed with toxic substances like artificial preservatives, colors, and flavors, and they are very hard for the body to digest. As your body tries to rid itself of these toxins and break down such unnatural foods, it has to work in overdrive, thus producing more sweat. Instead of going for pre-packaged or fast food, especially those high in fat, opt for fruits, vegetables, nuts, organic poultry or meat, and wild-caught seafood. Cut Back on Coffee and Other Caffeine-Loaded Drinks As a stimulant, caffeine raises your heart rate and blood pressure, causing sweating to increase as well. Coffee can be double-trouble, as the warmth of the drink can exacerbate the hyperhidrosis problem. Swap out coffee for something a little less stimulating, such as an iced herbal tea like energizing ginseng. Utilize the Benefits of Baking Soda Not only does baking soda neutralize odors, it also alkalizes (neutralizes the pH of) your sweat, decreasing the growth of the bacteria in sweat. Mix 1 part baking soda with 1 part cornstarch and add a couple of drops of your favorite essential oil to create a sublime natural deodorant. Try to Drink Less Alcohol Alcohol both increases heart rate (and thus body temperature) and dilates the skinâs blood vessels. As a consequence, alcohol makes you sweat more. If excessive sweating is a real issue for you, consider limiting your alcohol consumption. Less Salt in, More Salt on Very high dietary sodium has been linked to excessive sweating, as high sodium concentrations make our bodies try to excrete the excess salt in urine and sweat. On the other hand, applying salt onto the body has many benefits in regard to excessive sweating. Salt absorbs sweat, dries the skin, and closes your pores, all of which help to reduce sweat production.

Improvisation Is The Thing - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career
Improvisation Is The Thing - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career I recently moved and as part of this effort Iâve become painfully aware of a few things. One My tools are scattered. Two The places I used store âstuffâ no longer exist. Three I need to create new shelves, workspaces, and mentally geocached locations. Although this was not the first time Iâve moved. And, itâs not the first time Iâve been in new situations. However, as I go through the motions of setting things up and being asked to move, adjust, replace, and otherwise make this house our home I began to realize these are all the same things we do in business every day. The one advantage with the house is that my (occasional) use of four-letter words isnât heard by my colleagues. Just by my dog. And, I can tell you ⦠she doesnât like it. What Iâve Learned From Improvisation Iâve learned that I have to improvise every time I want to do something. Even something as simple as hanging a picture or mirror. I have to find the tools, the nails, and the stepladder too. Maybe this is a good thing. More on that in a moment. I order to do these things I often have to get creative too. Which I kinda like. As an mechanical engineer I do enjoy the challenges of building racks for my Stand Up Paddleboards and for trying to optimize the storage of the multitudes of boxes we (for whatever reason) moved to the new place. Iâve learned three things: Have a place for tools youâll need. Even if itâs just a corner area. Put the tools back where they belong. This is critical! This is also true in business. In order to be productive ⦠you need to know where your tools are so you can focus on the task and challenge at hand. Reality Check: Maybe the initial challenge is to get everything setup. This can be seen as an opportunity to get organized and to do a reset. What Iâve learned is ⦠take the time to set things up ⦠the first time. So that you donât have to waste / spend time to search for the right tools, templates, etc. What Iâve learned is ⦠sometimes it takes and unsubtle reminder of NOT setting things up to force you to look for the right tool for the job. This is where that ranting and occasional four letter words come in. As noted above. The ranting that my dog does not approve (and my colleagues would not likely appreciate either) Everyday Improvisation Every time we need to do something there is a little bit of improvisation required. Even for regimented tasks and actions we do every day there are subtle changes. When you can improvise you will stand out in your career. Itâs a skill that can take time to develop. And, at different times when added stressors are placed upon you it can change the way you will improvise. But, with practice those Improvisational Muscles will begin to develop and be ready to adapt on the fly. Then youâll know youâve made it. For example, At Work: Meetings get called unexpectedly Agendas change Customer and partner needs change As noted, at home things change too. You might be moving or get new appliances or furniture. All may require a bit of improvisation to get in the house or learn how to use them. As for me and the new house ⦠I am slowly putting things in their place. Iâm truly realizing the value of knowing where things are. As I have spent far more time looking for the tool I need for the job than I have actually doing the job. Iâm making adjustments. Iâm putting tools in one place and returning them to the one place when Iâm done with them. Itâs a learning process. What Can Your Learn From Improvisation My primary takeaway is: Use your powers of improvisation to get things done. But, at the same time ⦠put things in their place to allow your brain (and body) to open up your channels of creativity and innovation. By not having to look for a tool you free yourself up to be more productive.

Hate Your Job, Miserable, and No One Will Hire You - Career Pivot
Hate Your Job, Miserable, and No One Will Hire You - Career Pivot Hate Your Job, Miserable, and No One Will Hire You Does this describe you: you hate your job, youâre miserable, and you wonder why no one will hire you? I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts, The Retirement Answer Man, hosted by my good friend Roger Whitney. In episode 133 â"Economic Growth, the Upcoming Election, Life Satisfaction, Roger answered several listenerâs questions. The 3rd question was from Mary and, if you do not want to listen to the whole podcast, it starts at about 21:30 into the episode. Mary is: 61 years old miserable 2.9 years away from retirement She asks, does she stick it out (being miserable) and retire on time or find another job, having to give up some of her pension benefits? She assumes she will be less miserable if she finds a new job. Roger says this is a money versus quality of life decision. While I think this is true, I believe she suffers from MSU syndrome. If you are wondering what MSU syndrome is, read this post â" Do You Suffer from Make Stuff Up Disorder?. She is miserable and thinks someone will hire her. Let me paint this scenario. You were hiring and the personin front of you is obviouslyare miserable in their current job.You may think you can hide it but⦠you canât. Would you hirethis person? NO! Listen to the most recent episode This happened to me early in my career. I hated my job at IBM. The project I was working on was in the ditch and I hated what I did. A position at CSC appeared in a trade magazine and applied. Idid get an interview. Did they hire me? NO. They never even contacted me after the interview. I would not have hired me. I was miserable and it showed. What to Do When You are Miserable One of my mantras is I want my client to: Run towards a new job and donât run away from the current job In this case, Mary needs to figure out what is making her so miserable in her current job and, at least, attempt to fix it. Only after she understands what is making her miserable should she attempt to find another job. I use the process from the book,Positive Intelligence: Why Only 20% of Teams and Individuals Achieve Their True Potential AND HOW YOU CAN ACHIEVE YOURSby Shirzad Charmine. I briefly reviewed this book in the post, Top 5 Career Books that have Nothing to do with Careers. The author tells us we have two sides of our brain: Positive, or the sage side Negative, or the saboteursâ side (there are 10 saboteurs) Saboteurs The 10 saboteurs are: Judge Avoider Controller Hyper-Achiever Hyper-Rational Hyper-Vigilant Pleaser Restless Stickler Victim The idea is to spend significantly more time on the positive or sage side of the brain than the negative or saboteur side. You do that by identifying your primary saboteurs, naming them and learning tospot them when they pop up in your thinking. You can learn more about the saboteurs and find your primary saboteurs by taking the Positive Intelligence Assessment. By the way, it is free. Let me give you an example. I have a client who I will call Helen. Helenâs biggest saboteur is her judge. She has named her judge saboteurStresszilla. Whenever Helen finds herself judging herself, telling herself she is not good enough or telling herself that she is not as good as someone else in the office, she can now quickly identifyStresszillain her head. It is kind of like the cartoons when the Homer Simpson is trying to make a decision. With the good angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other. Helen can now spotStresszilla on her shoulder and tell her to go away. Helen is reaching the point where she is not as miserable at work. She is not exactly happy, but the stress levels are much lower. She can now approach a job search feeling better about herself. Helen has managed to strengthen hersageand weaken hersaboteurs. PQ Gym One way to train the brain is to go the PQ Gym. I have found doing PQ reps to be very helpful in turning off the brain when a saboteur has positioned itself on my shoulder. You can learn more about PQ reps from the Positive Intelligence Resource page and click on PQ Gym. This is a very short description of how I have helped my clients get out of stress and be more hirable. I suggest you get the bookPositive Intelligenceand give it a try. Are you miserable at work? Are you ready to do something about it? Marc Miller Like what you just read? Share it with your friends using the buttons above. Like What You Read? Get Career Pivot Insights!

Lunch Interviews Theyre NOT About the Food
Lunch Interviews â" Theyâre NOT About the Food 0 Flares 0 Flares Kirk Baumann is a passionate recruiting advocate preparing the next generation of talent for the career of their dreams. Heâs a social media enthusiast who loves technology and how itâs connecting people in ways like never before. Kirk currently serves as Director of Career Connections for SIFE (Students In Free Enterprise) World Headquarters, working with Fortune 500 100 SIFE Partners companies, helping them recruit top talent for their organizations as well as working directly with students, alumni, and young professionals on career development, helping them find their dream job.

Kirk was named Top Job Search Blogger by Blogging4jobs.com in May 2010 and has been featured on the Job Search Secrets web show, RecruitingBlogs.com, Hire Plateau and Brazen Careerist. Youâve done your job research. You polished your resume, attended the career fair, applied online and followed up with the recruiter. You may have already received a call from the recruiter to set up an interview and that interview may have gone perfectly. You expect that theyâre going to offer you the job, when the voice on the other end of the line says, âIâm pleased to inform you that youâve moved on to the next round of interviews.â WHAT?? They then tell you that the next interview is over lunch. GULP. For recruiters or hiring managers, the lunch interview gives them additional perspective and insight into the âreal youâ. People can memorize GREAT answers to the toughest interview questions; having a phenomenal resume, even appearing to have excellent communication skills can only get you so far. The lunch interview (or dinner â" whatever) puts you to the test. Itâs designed for two reasons: To allow the recruiter or hiring manager to get to know you on a more personal level. To see how you react to situations out of your comfort zone or element. Youâre not in the office conference room with the interviewer or a panel. Youâre in a much different setting with all kinds of variables to throw you off your game. A few tips to help you make the most of your lunch: Bring a notepad and something to write with â" just because itâs lunch doesnât mean you shouldnât be taking notes Be polite to the host, wait staff, ANYONE you interact with at the restaurant â" people are watching and listening. Iâve even known hiring managers to arrive late and ask the staff about their interaction just to test the candidate. NOTE: Wait for the interviewer to arrive before being seated. Know before you go â" check the restaurantâs menu ahead of time. Most are online these days. If you have dietary restrictions or are watching calories, youâll have plenty of time to pour over the menu. Select 2-3 (just in case the restaurant doesnât have one) choices that look good and keep them in mind when ordering. Be prepared and KNOW what you want â" this should make a good impression. Order something simple â" the point is to land the job. You can order the rack of ribs during your celebration dinner afterwards. Stick to things that can be eaten easily with a knife and fork. Iâd also recommend water or other non-alcoholic beverages. If the host orders wine, politely decline. Now, if this interview is for a wine or spirits company, thereâs a difference. Take your cue from your host. Just donât order the most expensive bottle. Stick to the middle and to one glass. Emily Postâs Guide to Etiquette still applies today. Check out this website for more information on which fork to use, what all the different plates are used for, and basic tips like how to pass the bread, which hand to use for your drink (yes, there is a right way) and much more. Relax, be yourself, and donât forget, itâs still an interview. Now, go land that job!

Nursing Resume Example
Nursing Resume ExampleWhile nursing resume examples are very useful for any job seeking nurse, there are certain things that should be included on a resume that is specifically for the nursing profession. A lot of information can be found in the resume example, including professional certifications. This is something that can vary a great deal from state to state, as well as from company to company. A personal statement and a good history of education will go along way with a new or upcoming job.The first section of the nursing resume example is usually going to be the personal statement. This needs to be something that comes from the heart, and goes into detail about why the person is the best candidate for the position in question. This is where education and experience come into play, as some people will be able to contribute a lot more, while others may have the necessary educational experience but not the relevant experience, or vice versa.Another important element is the work h istory. This will need to include all of the duties that the person has performed within the last five years, including the area of the country where they worked. The importance of this is twofold. First, this information is going to show a more complete picture of the individual and also provide more insight as to what their professional experience has been.It is also very important to note that there is an 'advanced' track in the field of nursing, which focuses on management responsibility. This is something that is important for those who are looking to increase their knowledge in management or who are looking to increase their responsibilities within their work team. A nursing resume example should include this section as well.An advanced placement program is something that can greatly help with this section, as well as the responsibilities of management responsibility. They are also considered to be a means of demonstrating the person's ability to successfully manage themselves . Finally, the last section of the nursing resume example should include an outline of a strong work history. While the applicant may be capable of speaking at length on any aspect of their personal or professional life, this is where they must offer a solid education that shows they have the ability to accomplish the task before them.While this may seem to be the only major elements in the resume, it is not the only thing that is required for a successful application. A nursing resume example must also include a cover letter, as well as an objective statement. This can be used to highlight any accomplishments that the person has had in their career. It is also very important to show how they fit into the organization.What the prospective employer is looking for is a combination of personal abilities and those that are focused on the education of the individual. This can be something that is difficult to accomplish, but a good example can be an important step in attaining this goal. They can also be the last thing that is needed, as there is a large amount of paperwork that is required to apply for a nursing position.This section is the most important section in a nursing resume example, as it is the one that will be shown to a potential employer. Many of the best ideas about the resume are going to come from a person that has experience working in the field, and who can provide the details that a potential employer is looking for. A nursing resume example can be the difference between getting the job or not, and if it is not current and up to date, the chances are that it will be thrown away in the trash.
