Build Your Self Esteem, A Starter Guide to Self Improvement

So how do you stay calm, composed and maintain self esteem in a tough environment? Here are some tips you may consider as a starter guide to self improvement.

Imagine yourself as a Dart Board. Everything and everyone else around you may become Dart Pins, at one point or another. These dart pins will destroy your self esteem and pull you down in ways you won’t even remember. Don’t let them destroy you, or get the best of you. So which dart pins should you avoid?

Pin #1 : Negative Work Environment
Beware of the “dog eat dog” theory, where everyone else is fighting just to get ahead. This is where non-appreciative people usually thrive. No one will appreciate your contributions even if you miss lunch and dinner, and stay up late. Most of the time you get to work too much without getting help from people concerned. Stay out of this, it will ruin your self esteem. Competition is at stake anywhere. Be healthy enough to compete, but in a healthy competition that is.

Pin #2: Other People’s Behavior
Bulldozers, brown nosers, gossip mongers, whiners, backstabbers, snipers, people walking wounded, controllers, naggers, complainers, exploders, patronizers, bluffers… all these kinds of people will pose bad vibes for your self esteem, as well as to your self improvement plan.

Pin #3: Changing Environment
You can’t be a green bug on a brown field. Changes challenge our paradigms. It tests our flexibility, adaptability and alters the way we think. Changes will make life difficult for awhile, it may cause stress but it will help us find ways to improve our selves. Change will be there forever, we must be susceptible to it.

Pin #4: Past Experience
It’s okay to cry and say “ouch!” when we experience pain. But don’t let pain transform itself into fear. It might grab you by the tail and swing you around. Treat each failure and mistake as a lesson.

Pin #5: Negative World View
Look at what you’re looking at. Don’t wrap yourself up with all the negativity of the world. In building self esteem, we must learn how to make the best out of worst situations.

Pin #6: Determination Theory
The way you are and your behavioral traits is said to be a mixed end product of your inherited traits (genetics), your upbringing (psychic), and your environmental surroundings such as your spouse, the company, the economy or your circle of friends. You have your own identity. If your father is a failure, it doesn’t mean you have to be a failure too. Learn from other people’s experience, so you’ll never have to encounter the same mistakes.

Sometimes, you may want to wonder if some people are born leaders or positive thinkers. NO. Being positive, and staying positive is a choice. Building self esteem and drawing lines for self improvement is a choice, not a rule or a talent. Spirits are not going come down from heaven and tell you – “Joe, you may now have the permission to build self esteem and improve your self.”

In life, its hard to stay tough specially when things and people around you keep pulling you down. When we get to the battle field, we should choose the right weapons to bring and armor to use, and pick those that are bullet proof. Life’s options give us arrays of more options. Along the battle, we will get hit and bruised. And wearing a bullet proof armor ideally means ‘self change’. The kind of change which comes from within. Voluntarily. Armor or Self Change, changes 3 things: our attitude, our behavior and our way of thinking.

Building self esteem will eventually lead to self improvement if we start to become responsible for who we are, what we have and what we do. Its like a flame that will gradually spread like a brush fire from inside and out. When we develop self esteem, we take control of our mission, values and discipline. Self esteem brings about self improvement, true assessment, and determination. So how do you start putting up the building blocks of self esteem? Be positive. Be contented and happy. Be appreciative. Never miss an opportunity to compliment. A positive way of living will help you build self esteem.

To your success,

Create Success-With Whatever You Have! 7 Practices for Creating What Matters Most In Life & Work

The following article pertains to personal growth. It is a good read I hope you enjoy it and find great use of the practices within.

----------
Create Success-With Whatever You Have! 7 Practices for Creating What Matters Most In Life & Work
Copyright © 2006-2007 Bruce Elkin


Have you heard about the stranger in New York who wanted to visit
Carnegie Hall?

When no one would stop to give him directions, he approached a
man carrying a violin case.

"Sir," he asked, "what's the best way to get to Carnegie
Hall?"

Jascha Heifetz, one of the world's finest violinists, leaned
forward, tapped the visitor on the chest, and said, "There is
only one way to get to Carnegie Hall-practice, practice,
practice!"


SEVEN PRACTICES FOR CREATING ALMOST ANYTHING

These 7 practices are no magic formula. But they will help you
create outstanding results-with whatever you start with.


1. Create a clear, compelling vision of what you want to create.

Focus on the result you want to create.

"Lose weight," becomes "A lean, athletic body."

"Quit smoking," becomes "A non-smoker with clean, healthy
lungs."

"Get out debt," become "$10,000 per month doing what I
love."

It's fine to start with concepts such as "success," or "a
better business." However, power comes from focusing concepts
into visions. Picture the specifics of what you want to create.

What would it look like if you were successful? How would your
business be better?

Which is more compelling? The concept, "A new car," or the
vision, "A candy-apple red, Miata convertible with a black top,
beige leather seats, and a six-speaker Alpine CD system?"

Vision does not have to be realistic; it has to be what you truly
want. So, stretch for what matters; let your aspirations soar.
Grounding vision in reality is the next step.


2. Assess Reality Accurately and Objectively

Vision by itself has little power. Unless it is grounded in
reality, it is wishful thinking.

You need to know your destination AND starting point. If you
want to go to Denver, and think you are in LA but are actually in
Boston, you will not succeed.

Judging it reality distorts it. For example, we say,
"Everything is screwed up," when only a part is not going well.
Or, "Everything is great," when it isn't. Distorting reality
creates a shaky foundation for action.

The key is to describe reality accurately and objectively.
Instead of "Everything is screwed up," say, "This part is not
working; the rest is."

Describing reality establishes a solid foundation for successful
action.


3. Hold Vision and Reality Together to Set Up Creative Tension

Holding vision and reality together sets up a gap out of which a
useful, creative tension emerges. Creative tension is the engine
of creating.

It replaces the emotional tension and generates the energy to
move from where you are to where you want to be.

Imagine a rubber band stretched between Vision and Current
Reality. The tension in it can resolve in three ways.

Let go of your vision and give up your goals.

Lower your vision and compromise your goals.

Or hold vision firmly and change reality so you move toward the
result you want to create.

Holding vision and reality together sets up an organizing
framework in which you can experiment, learn from experience, and
shape results.

Your job is to resolve creative tension by making choices and
taking actions that support your results.


4. Take Small Steps. Create and adjust.

Many of us are closet perfectionists. We demand first steps be
perfect. So, either we give up when we falter, or fear of
failing prevents us from getting started.

To get started, take small steps. Work backward from vision to
first steps by asking, "Can I do this today?" If you can't do
it, ask, "What must I do first?"

If your vision is to be fit enough to run a half-marathon but you
get winded walking up stairs, you obviously can't do it today.
So what must you do first?

Build an aerobic base. Can you do that today? No. What must
you do first?

Use the questions to work back to small, easy steps you can do
today. Taking them increase confidence, builds momentum, and
helps you stretch toward larger steps.


5. Build Momentum

Momentum is more important than motivation. It generates energy
that keeps you going when motivation fades. If you get stuck, or
things don't go well, try this:

1. Notice what is happening and what you say about it, others,
and yourself.

2. Does what you say support what you want? Is it true? Is it
accurate and objective? If it isn't, make it so.

3. Then ask, "What DO I want?" Envision your result fully
completed.

4. Choose whatever action occurs to you and try it.

5. Keep trying-create and adjust-until you complete the result.

Like rocking a car, you can use this technique to get unstuck
when you are angry, frustrated, depressed, or facing adversity.
It shifts your focus from problem solving to creating. It flips
your mood from negative to energetic.

Most important, it keeps you moving and builds momentum toward
results.


6. Practice, Practice, Practice!

Few of us are born with the skills and talent to achieve our
visions. But we are learners. We can try, adjust our actions,
and practice until the new becomes natural.

Practice may not make you perfect, but it will make you better.
The road to success always runs through better.

One of my clients wanted to be a "Great public speaker." But,
because she judged she was "not good," she felt bad and didn't
practice. I helped her see she "wasn't good, yet." I also
helped her see that, instead of demanding she be good, she'd do
better to focus on getting better. In no time, she was making
money as a speaker.

Making success an all or nothing jump often leaves you with
nothing.


7. Know When You Reach Your Goal

It's not enough to say, "I want to be successful." Without
guidelines for judging results, you are like a dog chasing its
tail, seeking success but never knowing when you achieve it.

To harness creating's power, you need to know when you've
completed your creation. This is why vision is best when it's
specific. Assess your result against the specifics and see if it
matches. If it doesn't, keep working at it. If it does,
you're done. =Celebrate.

Completing a creation generates new energy you can use to
initiate new creations.

So finish fully and celebrate your success. Then, start on your
next result. Success builds on success.


"Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it," Goethe
advised, "Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."

So why not be bold. Stretch for what matters-with whatever you
have. Then, practice these techniques, and see if you don't
create the great results you long for.

The Best Way To Generate Free Targeted Website Traffic

If you have a website or you promote someone else's' website as an affiliate, you need to drive traffic to it.

Without traffic, you won't get visitors. And without visitors, you won't make money, sales, get subscribers, etc. What good is a website without any traffic? And if the site is getting traffic, what good is it if it's not targeted traffic?

There are many ways to drive traffic to your site, both free and paid. But we are not going to talk about paid traffic right now. That is a totally different topic and could take hours to cover.

So, back to free traffic. Some ways of getting free traffic to your site is by Search Engine Optimization, surfing for traffic, or getting it passively.

SEO takes time and a lot of work. When you join sites that are surf for traffic sites, you have to look at other members' sites in order to earn advertising credits for your site to be displayed when another member is surfing.

The only problem with this is that although the traffic is free, it is not targeted. Everyone who is a member only surfs for the credit and very rarely even looks at the site, they just minimize their window on their PC and multi-task. So, the traffic is crap and worthless.

Now, let's talk about the best way to get free targeted traffic. It's called Instant Buzz. Instant Buzz is a service that gives you advertising credits as you surf the web like you normally would. What you do is download the toolbar for free, it only takes a minute. Then, you set up your ads in the members area. And bam, you ads are being displayed on other members' tool bars as they surf.

Click here to get Free Targeted Website Traffic


You can also put Instant Buzz ads in emails that you send to your friends. These are called mail space ads. And your ad will get displayed in other members' emails. The last thing you can do is put a hyperspace ad on your website which will help you refer other members.

When you refer other members, you will also get a percentage of the credits they earn which will go towards your ad credits.

If someone likes your ad and is interested in what it says, then they click on it and end up on whatever site it was that you were promoting. Now that's targeted traffic! And it was free.

So make sure you visit the link in the resource box to start driving targeted and quality traffic to your website today. It will only take you a couple of minutes to start bringing visitors to your site.

Leisure Audio is working for me as I write!

I recently became a member of Leisure Audio Books,
and I want to share my humble opinion with you today.

This is like nothing I have ever experienced before,
I was shocked to find that is totally unique, never
seen before, and I believe it to be revolutionary,
and I'll explain why.

In my past experience, you join a typical program,
they give you some cheesy promo tools, and they never
say a word to you, they just expect you to go out
and recruit as best you can on your own...

This is totally and utterly different.

First of all, the products rock, there's a huge selection
of topics on virtually any niche you can think of...
all delivered in licenced .wma or Real format, so anyone
with a computer, an iPod, or mp3 player can instantly
enjoy these fine audio books, at their leisure...

Second, you don't have to recruit, to earn nice money, you
can simply sell these real products to real people, and they
will be glad to have them to listen to...

Third, the commissions you can earn, are much higher
than normal, and I really like that.

Fourth, it's so easy to set up a website and dominate
any niche you choose, because the training is so good,
it makes it easy to get started right away.

Fifth, I don't have any of the order filling problems,
of offering a real product, Leisure Audiobooks, has it
handled, for me. Lucky me;~)

With Leisure Audio Books, I feel completely at ease
offering anyone high quality high fidelity products and
the diversity is astounding! They have over 6000 titles
meticulously sorted into 160 categories in a feature- packed store.

I had no idea know that there are at least 50,000 identifiable
niche markets that can be independently addressed in the search
engines for audio books! I do know now and I am out there selling...
and for the first time it is working!!!

Plus it's a huge relief to have the experts, Rod and Kevin
helping me succeed, I almost feel like I have a huge
"cheat" over everyone else, because I'm a part of a caring
organization, who really coach, and really train, and really
want me, and you, to succeed, no matter what the skill level.

So, I would have to sum it up like this, if you're tired of
an endless line of hype, smoke and mirrors, and you'd like
to gain traction, start making a financial difference in
your family's lifestyle, and have a legitimate, honest, real
way to make money online...you owe it to yourself to check
out Leisure Audio Books.

Don't believe me, I'm a happy member, and of course I'm biased,
so do a check on Rod and Kevin, and I'm sure you'll find the
truth is that they are for real, and these are great products
that virtually sell themselves.

I recommend that you see for yourself - GO RIGHT NOW, and take
in the information presented on the website.

To your success,

Sean Babb

How To Avoid Home Business Scams

Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that all those too good to be true solicitation e-mails and ads you see in the margins of high traffic websites for making thousands of dollars a week with no effort through a home based internet business can’t be for real. Yet there are still thousands upon thousands of people every year whose dreams of easy cash, early retirement and free living override their common sense and encourage them to invest in these home business scams. That’s why I'm offering a simple tip for avoiding home business scams that can ultimately save you a lot of money, not to mention heartache and frustration.

Do your homework!

The most obvious of tips for avoiding home business scams is to do your homework. For every home business scam floating around out there in cyberspace, there is someone who’s tried it and ended up bitter and disgruntled when they never received the tens of thousands of dollars in easy money they were promised. There are entire websites and blogs dedicated to exposing these fraudulent home business opportunities and providing tips for avoiding home business scams like it so that no one else ends up getting ripped off by crappy snake oil that doesn’t really work. So when one of these promising opportunities comes through your inbox and you get that little urge inside to give it a try, do a Google search for a few of the key phrases or the main concept and see what others who have already paid the entry fee to try it have to say about the opportunity. Try to look for testimonials on third party objective websites. It’s not a good idea to believe the testimonials on the websites of the opportunities themselves.

As far as other tips for avoiding home business scams are concerned, there are a multitude of resources all over the Internet that list which opportunities are scams and which ones have real income potential. Truly the best of the best tips for avoiding home business scams I can offer is to trust your instinct. If that voice inside is telling you the promises are too good to be true, then listen to that voice and trust your instinct.

To your success,

Sean Babb

Balancing Home and Work, for Home Business

With so many young people trying to work from home on the Internet it is amazing just how many of them really do not have the slightest idea, of the workload they have gotten themselves into. Many of these people did not even sit down and assess what it is that they see as a reasonable personal goal. This is a huge mistake on their part. You must know what you want in order to find a way to obtain it. It must be clear to everyone willing to jump into the Internet marketing world; if you are not sure whether or not you have drive and a willingness to succeed you might want to save yourself some money and much aggravation. It is easy to want something, and you may know how you have to get it. There is this little issue about dedication and determination do you have it? Why put yourself through the troubles of failing and wondering exactly where you went wrong.

The great Winston Churchill once said, “If you find yourself walking through hell, just keep going”. This idea of the struggles people face, in business and in life is just that. Struggles, the winners will survive and the weak will fall. This has been a true facet in life since the beginning of time. Basically staying power in the Internet marketing business is about keeping your face off the pavement.

They also do not get the fact that because it is their business, and not someone else’s responsibility that they in turn will have to work probably much harder to keep it going. When these people hear the nonsense about working 1 hour per week and striking it rich, I truly feel sorry for their heads and wallets when they inevitably re enter the earth’s atmosphere, and hit the ground with a screeching halt. Again this may be nothing more than naivety. And not total stupidity. The unfortunate part for most people new to the scene is that they have absolutely no idea just what it entails on a time basis. What must be remembered is that success cannot be bought in a can. It is the single marketing plan and strategy that is doomed to fail. You must be able to walk many avenues in order to reap the benefits of the successes it can yield. Buy into what you feel truly will get you ahead, listen to what other marketers are saying in the forums and try to catch on quick. This field is extremely fast and waits for no one. The best way to do business is to spread out your resources as much as possible; the best way for exposure is to be out in the middle of the field.

To your success,

Sean Babb
