Questions to Spark Self-Discovery

One of the things that I have strived to do my entire life is to know myself better. I learned that if you ever really want to have lasting change in your life or even relate well to the people around you, you must first know yourself better than you know anyone else. This means that you need to take time for self discovery. So here are some questions to spark that self discovery. I warn you that if you take this journey you may not like what you find and it may not be easy. However, in the end it is always worth it.

Should Entrepreneurs Seek Crowdfunding?

This is a big question, since crowdfunding has become so popular. I believe it is a great tool that start-ups can leverage to get that much needed startup capital that they need. Often we fail because we have very little support and can't get any venture capital because there is nop real track record of successful business. So the idea of crowdfunding and having the real people that will use our products help fund the creation of the products they love can be very powerful. So check out what one of the most successful people in the world has to say about the subject.

The Importance of Rest

Some of us get to be fitness fanatics and are constantly working out. I see the people that end up at the gym for several hours a day and I salute them for their dedication. However, your body also needs rest. To cintinue to see those gains that you are looking for sometimes it is more benficial to take a day off, so your system can recover than it is to push your body to injury. Often times injury is your bodies way to tell you to slow down a little bit. Always listen to your body. Know when you need to push a little harder and when to back off a little. They are both equally important. Get rest when you need it, but also know when you are just being lazy. Check out this article and figure out what is best for you.

Pitch perfect: A startup’s guide to getting coverage

If you are starting a business one thing that you need to get sparkling clear is your pitch. If you are ever going to get the business that you need you have to be able to let people know what it is and how it will benefit them. If you stumble through your idea without passion, no one will ever be interested in what you offer. So make sure you are refining that pitch and let people feel the passion that you have for your business. Often people will follow someone else, not because its a great business idea, but because they believe in that person and their passion. So keep working to make it better and get the word out there.

Yes, You Can Help The World And Make Money At The Same Time

This article is amazing and I honestly believe that if your motivation in business is anything but to help the world than you are doing something wrong. When we move forward in business we should be looking at ways to make life better for our community. We should be trying to find ways to enrich the lives around us. If we are only trying to find a way to line our own pockets and make money than we will find that eventhough the money may come, there is emptiness at the end of the road. We all have a need to be significant and a need to contiribute. If we are not meeting those needs we will lack something. So always focus on helping, giving, contributing and the money will come along with fulfillment.

Why We Love Food

Food is more than just something we ingest to stay alive. We have put so much emotional attachment to the food that we eat, it has become an addiction that we need to break. There are chemicals in our brains that release when we eat the foods that we love that no matter how bad they are for us we turn to them time and time again. So take some time to really investigate why you feel the way about the food that you eat and then make the changes necessary to become as healthy as you can. The reality is that the foods that we eat are literally killing us. It may be a slow steady death, but it is still forcing us to live less than optimally.

Under The Influence: A Guide To Make You Cool and Feel Super Confident

They say it is all about the attitude. They are right. The idea that you can fake it till you make it, is exactly how its done. We need to find that worth in ourselves before we can ever find it anywhere else. We have to be the first and biggest believer in ourselves before anyone else is going to believe. This is often where so many people fall short. They put their faith in what other people think and believe about them and allow that to dictate how they feel about themselves. To really have a positive self image you have to not care about what other people say or think and always believe that you are beautful, awesome, and successful. If you are built on the solid foundation of that, no one will ever be able to change that. So check out this article and build yourself up.

There is lots of bad food out there. Matter of fact, many of the foods that we currently eat are not good for us. So what is it that you are eating as comfort food? Here are some of the worst of the worst foods that pack on the pounds. The reason so many unhealthy foods are so popular is because people have been living less that optimally for so long that they have forgotten what it feels like to be healthy.
