Meaningful work has long been one of the important ways to feel good about oneself. Research has shown that the more roles people fill, the more sources of self-esteem they have.
But where work has traditionally been a source of self-esteem, that link is now endangered.
The one thing that is most likely to suffer damage in today’s workplace is precisely what most of us hope to get there—self-esteem. The modern workplace presents some formidable psychological hazards. Read more
In some circles, the term “self esteem” is sacred; in others, it’s treated almost as a profanity. Instead think of self-esteem as a mental muscle that must be developed and maintained through regular psychological workouts—or you will be vulnerable to depression and anxiety.
Liking yourself and what you do makes it easier to be productive—but self-esteem takes a beating in most jobs. All it takes is one snide remark to put a damper on your enthusiasm, so you’ve got to stoke your own fires to keep self-esteem high. Read more
Somewhere along the way, many entrepreneurs forget to have fun with the business. After a while, you might get bogged down with details or you might get burned out. A lot of this happens because entrepreneurs are known for being workaholics.
But you know the saying: “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” This is true no matter who you are.
Too many entrepreneurs focus on the money at the expense of enjoying the process.

Most people experience burnout at least once in their life. Some of us experience it multiple times.
Chances are you are reading this article because you are a business owner or want to be an Entrepreneur – or just someone looking to take their career to the next level. If so, then you most likely have an appetite for productivity and are hot on the trail of success.
But this means you are also a prime candidate for burnout if you aren’t careful. Read more
The best satisfaction one can get is when they are selling solely because of the “why” we sell.
At exactly the same time, the most challenging time we’ve had is when we are focused on our very own personal targets at the expense of the clients to whom we were selling to.
The biggest sin a salesperson can do is to sell a lot more than anyone could handle. It could be an absurd amount of inventory or even a product that is a trendy that does not solve an existing problem. A salesperson that sells to customers without acknowledging the “why” does not get repeat customers.
A sale that’s not worthwhile for the client is not really a sale. Read more
Entrepreneurism is a way of life.
It means embracing challenges, stretching yourself and acting in spite of fear.
If you’re not getting the results you want, it may be because you’ve not yet fully committed to the entrepreneur’s way of life.
Ask yourself whether you’ve committed to each one. If not, it’s time to make the commitment and watch your results change. Read more
You have got to love the holiday season because it typically generates good feelings in us towards our fellow man.
It is the season of giving after all!
It is important not to be too caught up in the good feelings of the season. As we can lose sight of the point: giving is not about good feelings!
It is about helping those less unfortunate than yourself.
The most noteworthy fact is that most of our charity is seasonal and it should be a source of shame, not pride.
I’m not talking about donating money as that is a fine thing to do. I’m talking about the personal person-to-person giving. It is about really reaching out and helping our fellow human beings. We should be enriching others’ lives without worrying about enriching our own.
As one of the most influential generations of our time, Millennials have initiated a significant shift in today’s work-life environment.
I am not just saying that because I come from that generation.
These days, the big question isn’t about how we obtain work-life balance. Rather it is how we integrate our work with our families, friends, hobbies, and personal goals. Drawing a distinct line between our personal lives and our work lives has become something of the past. This is all thanks to things like technology and our constant ability to plug-in at work.
Instead, Millennials like me are more concerned with work-life integration.
