    Corporate Cleavage
    I enjoy cleavage as much or even more than the next guy. However, after reading my latest issue of Men’s Health magazine, I checked my Encarta dictionary and looked up the word “cleavage”.There is business science in “them der hills”, namely the division

    New York Nursing Jobs
    With a throbbing population of over 8 million, New York City is one of the largest urban areas in the world. More than a third of its population is born in other countries, and it is no surprise that New York is a melting pot of diverse cultures and ways of lif
    Perfection serves no one but itself. Or as Voltaire put it, "The best is the enemy of the good." Extremes rarely work to the health and benefit of those striving for it or the goals they strive for. This is one of the common blocks to success. If you can't move on to the next phase or stage in your project until the one you are working on now is perfect, you may never move on. In that, good is not served. And so the perfectionist creates his/her own dilemma.

    I have heard speakers spend so much time defining words and terms they want to use in their speech and in such exacting detail, the point of the speech is lost.

    Industry is full of stories of research and development teams attempting to make the product they are producing so perfect that by the time it gets to market, the product is obsolete. How do you balance "good enough to function" against "so bad it won't work"?

    The way out of or through dilemmas is to find and accept a third answer or another option in addition to the two "Either Or" options which constitute the horns of the dilemma on which one is hung up. In the case of "Either perfect or Not at all" the third option is to get comfortable with mediocrity. Mediocre is not best or worst but middle of the road. It is commonplace. Although it may feel like a compromise, it will release the struggler who says "Perfect or Bust" and get things moving again

    Work Life Balance, and How to Get There As Your Own Boss
    I think back on my time working for someone else and almost have to laugh now. It seems so distant and far away that it isn't even real to me anymore!But I have to remind myself how I felt at the time.The mornings were the worst. I had to leave ea

    How to Win the Hearts of Your Customers and Friends

    Help Me I'm Drowning
    It sure sounded simple, “Have your own On Line Store” Sure, why not, everyone else is doing it, and after all I pretty much designed a WEB site, created a “Back Office” and populated a reasonably large Shopping Cart. How hard could it be? What I didn’t realize

    The Words That Win New Business

    I am not against perfection and striving for the best. I am offering a solution for the occasions when progress toward a desired goal is arrested by the compulsive need to be perfect. As some have said, "Stability exists when we work for progress, not perfection."

    A final thought: after this perfect mountain is climbed, there is another, higher, more perfect mountain behind that, and then another beyond that and then another.... What a wonderful way to lose control of your life. Enough never becomes enough. Pursuit becomes the game and living in the moment long enough to enjoy what has been gained in the pursuit never happens.
