Women's Empowerment Tips: Positive thinking extends life!

Posted by Robin Tramble on August 31, 2009 at 9:51pm

I have been a believer of the power of positive thinking and living.No we cannot just participate in positive thinking and believe thatis the solution and everything will manifest magically, however, thiscoupled with other life skill sets will greatly enhace the results youreceive from any endeavor to live your best empowered life, anextraordinary life.I'm sharing an article that provides proof of the power ofpositive thinking.Scientists have come up with proof of the power of positive thinking.They have found people who have a sunny, optimistic outlook on growing older live longer than those who are constantly worrying.Positive self-perceptions can prolong life expectancyYale University researchersThe research suggests that people who feel bad about getting old accelerate the ageing process.In contrast a positive attitude will add more years to your life than not smoking or taking regular exercise.A team of American psychologists found that people who were positive about ageing lived an average of 7.5 years longer than those who regretted the passing years.They believe that negative thoughts about the ageing process have a direct impact on the will to live.Better than low blood pressureThe researchers, led by Dr Becca Levy, from Yale University, in Connecticut, said the effect of a positive attitude towards ageing was greater than physiological measures such as low blood pressure and cholesterol - each of which is thought to add a maximum of four years to life.The effect was even more pronounced than factors such as keeping weight down, not smoking and taking exercise - each thought to add between one and three years to life.The researchers studied information from 660 volunteers aged fifty plus.Death rates among the participants were compared with their responses to a survey conducted 23 years earlier.The volunteers were asked if they agreed or disagreed to statements such as "as you get older, you are less useful".Dr Levy's team believe the sheer will to live partly explains the link between positive thinking and longevity. However, they don't think it is the only reason.StressThey believe another factor is the effect of stress on the heart.Previous research has shown that the hearts and arteries of elderly people exposed to negative ageing stereotypes do not respond well to stress.People could have negative thoughts about aging picked up from society without even being aware of them, said the researchers."Our study carries two messages," they wrote."The discouraging one is that negative self-perceptions can diminish life expectancy."The encouraging one is that positive self-perceptions can prolong life expectancy."The researchers warn that a poor attitude towards the elderly in Western societies may exacerbate the problems. It is time to stop knocking the old, they say, and make them feel good.The research is published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2158336.stmWhat are you thinking?Coming up "How your subconscious thoughts are tricking you into to sabotagedempowering success and what you can do to stop them"Learn more about positive thinking, mindset breakthroughs, confidence,self esteem, empowering successand more.

Women's Empowerment:What one thing do successful entrepreneurial women practice?

Posted by Robin Tramble on July 12, 2009 at 1:33am

What one thing do successful entrepreneurial women practice?You've heard the quote that successful people do what unsuccessful aren't willing to do.Although their are many habits that successful women, people for that matter there is one thing that if continued will separate the doers from the thinkers.That one thing is self improvement.Sometimes, when all our doubts, fears and insecurities wrap ourselves up, we tend tp come up with the idea of I wish I was somebody else.More often than not, we think and believe that someone or rather, most people are better than us.- when in reality, the fact is, most people are more scared than us.You may have observed women at work, church, in department stores etc. You think to yourself, she looks so perfectly calm and confident.But if you could read thru her mind, you would see a bunch of clouds of thoughts and you might just be amazed that she's thinking are people looking at what I have on?... Why don't guys find me attractive? Or I don't like my nose, I wish it were like.... I wish I was as intelligent as my sister.The bible also speaks of loving others as you love yourself.How many people have found this hard to do only because they don't truly love themselves. The thing to remember is that you cannot give what you don't have.Allow people to see that you yourself are a representation and a product of self improvement before telling other people some ways on how to improve themselves.In my eBook The Dynamic Power of Focus I have a section that refers to "If only" and it is an important segment because all too often women spend their time focusing on the "If onlies" or excuses for why they can't accomplish given tasks and goals. Stop thinking of yourselves as second-rate beings.Accepting your true self is the first step to self improvement. Stop comparing yourselves to others. Only compare yourself to yourself. How can you improve your life, relationships, health, personal image. etc.Everyone has challenges and insecurities. You are a unique, one of a kind woman. There is an audience waiting to hear the message that only you can deliver to them.Don't cheat them and certainly don't cheat yourself by continuing down the road of self defeat. I am not speaking of being arrogant or running around showing everyonehow great your are in a vain manner.For maximized empowerment and a life of substance you must invest in avenues to improve yourself.Self improvement is the virtue of acceptance and contentment. If you want to finally be free to have a life full of joy, peace and contentment, start and continue a habit of self improvement. Enrollin courses, search the internet, participate in Teleseminars. You should also align yourself with a mentor,trainer and/or coach for an added accountability measure.If you haven't made the progress that you desire to after 2 years, 5 years and more, you must do what successful people do.....seek out the support and resources to allow them to have leverage and accelerate their personal/spiritual/business growth.Now I invite you to take advantage of this FREE resource . One definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over expecting different results. Do something positively different today!Do you feel like like is passing you by? Are you somewhat fearful that things will never change leaving your family as a victim of your lack of success. All it takes is one empowering action. Claim your FREE resource now.Click HERE

Networking with Your Key Target Audience

Posted by Joyce Oladipo on December 9, 2008 at 9:26pm

What I’ve learnt over the years is that networking the traditional way is one of the non profitable ways of growing a business. So why do people go to networking events? I guess it’s to get more clients, but that’s not what’s actually happening is it?I’m not saying networking is a bad thing but the way we do our networking is. Here are effective ways to massively increase your networking results WITHOUT ever having to waste your time at networking events!There is a lot of information out there that talks about how to network effectively. They talk about creating a powerful elevation speech, listening to potential clients and doing all the right things but they don’t mentioning the real reason why most people fail to gain anything worthwhile from their networking efforts!Why networking events hasn’t work for meMost of the networking events I go to like the chamber of commerce is full of people that are not really interested in my products and services, they are there to secure deals for themselves, which makes it a waste of time and money for me. There are a few qualified, potential clients and LOTS of competitors!You need to network where there is no competition.As a service professional, we find ourselves sharing the networking room with numerous competitors. All these competitors are there to get the same limited business that we are there for. Most of the peoples at networking events are all sellers not buyersBig companies tend to send their sales staff to networking events to help them win more business. Most of these people are not the decision makers and those that are decision makers are there to make money not to spend it. So the really potential clients are limited.I have also noticed over the past few years that these networking events are full of the same people, just a handful of them are new and that doesn’t mean that these new people are still not my direct competitors.Networking events can cost you a lot of money. You will not know how much you have wasted until you take the cost of the annual membership and ADD the cost of attending the event to the cost of your time maybe 2 hours or more to the hour you spend traveling to figure out the real value.What would €4,000 investment in a direct mail campaign win you in new clients? I just sent out 50 letters that cost me €60.47 to potential accountant that brought in a total of €60,990. Taking about investment huh.How to Network Effectively and Get ResultsI have been able to work well with accountants over the years, so I make it a priority to be where they are. I subscribed to a free Accountant ezines or magazines. These ezines or magazine always list where the next local events are held, so I don’t miss any networking event. I go there on a regular basis.When I network with my ideal clients, I tend to lookout for ways I can help solve their problems. Most of the time, they are there just to discuss problems they are facing in their businesses. In this kind of setting I know that I have access to my ideal clients with no competition. So whenever I give a solution to a well known problem, I get the attention. So when these prospective clients find out that I am there to learn more about their challenges; so that I can serve them better, they want to discuss their issues with me. People in these networking events are not there to sell. They are there to listen - making them perfect for anyone, like myself, with a valuable message. You could use this approach with just about any industry or profession.So if you are going to go to any networking event, be where there are no competitors and where the event is filled with ideal, prospective clients.~ Joyce OladipoJoyce Oladipo, The Business Growth & Marketing Mentor, is creator of the Profit Building system, the proven step-by-step program that shows you exactly how to grow your business fast without spending extra money on marketing.
