Do you know when you are stressed? Do you know what you can do to eliminate your stress? Not everyone can answer those questions. Small doses of stress can help you perform well under pressure and even motivate you to do your best. However, when you are consistently pushed and in "emergency mode" your mind and body will pay the price.

I'm in the process of teaching my youngest son how to drive, and one of the things I'm trying to teach him is to always be scanning the road ahead. For example, I try to explain how he can't just focus on the green light ahead -- he has to be on the lookout for the idiot who is going to pull in front of him or the driver who suddenly decides to come to a dead stop to let a rabbit hop across the road.

I rub my finger until it gets raw, so I start rubbing on a different finger with the same results and then move to my hip, my head, etc. You see me continue to rub with the sandpaper in different places on my body.thinking. maybe if I rub harder or faster I can get better results.

I don't know about you, but I got nearly every job I have because someone helped me. Whether it was a family member, a teacher or a former boss, I had the backing of people who not only believed in me, but helped teach and guide me in finding jobs. But what happens when you have.no one? Are doors slammed in your face? Do you have a chance of getting a job that will help support your family?

When I was in college, I spent a year in England as part of my University’s study abroad program. What an amazing experience! And, while I brought back a lot of weird slang and an unusual faux accent (which thankfully disappeared quickly), the one British-ism I still refer to regularly is “Mind the Gap.”. You see, the London underground system (which they call the “tube”) has a looping announcement for passengers to “please mind the gap,” referring to the space between the train and the platform

That’s right. SEO suicide, right here on the Clerical Advantage website. I’ve been preaching for ages about the wonders of building your business website with WordPress and the added benefits and flexibility of combining that with the Headway Theme. I’ve ranted about the great SEO value of using both and I did something that could have nixed all of that SEO goodness without even knowing it.

Many people agonize over decisions. Big or small, we mentally review all possible solutions to a problem over and over. We get wrapped up in the problem and our thought process seems to bog down and we can’t move forward. Some of these decisions are easy; which restaurant to take a client to. Other times the decision is more difficult; accepting a job transfer.

One of the many issues business owners face is bright shiny object syndrome — you know what I mean. The next big idea comes across their desk which they think is the answer they’ve been looking for … so they ditch whatever they’re working on to follow this new path, never finishing what they started… This leads to overwhelm, and then frustration because their business isn’t growing in the way that they hoped it would.

ABI Research is forecasting global tablet sales will be between 40-50 million units in 2011, and reach almost 120 million units in 2016. To put this in perspective, about 340 million PCs were sold in 2010. A forecast of booming tablet sales is not a surprise.
