Denise Griffitts - Your Partner In Success!

Relationships can be compared to a garden in that they require attention and care in order to flourish. A garden requires sunshine, water, good soil, fertilizer, and a caring and knowledgeable gardener to tend it. If all, or most of these things are not provided then the garden will suffer. So it is with personal and business relationships. For those of us who have developed virtual, online relationships with clients, colleagues, business associates and friends, there are certain critical distinctions and skills that can allow those relationships to flourish and prosper. By not recognizing and utilizing these skills you may well find your relationships in the weeds. (Pun intended!) Please join me as I welcome “Successful Relationship Coaches” Paul and Layne Cutright to the show. In this interview Paul and Layne will be sharing relationship wisdom garnered from their 30+ years as international relationship experts, best selling authors, trainers and coaches to help you create satisfying extraordinarily and suc

Ford Myers was a guest on 5/29/2009 and his topic was so important and I had so many questions, that we decided to have a "special edition" interview. Ford will share the number one secret to job search success and what the first five things that someone should do immediately after being laid off from their job. Ford Myers says that every company is hiring all the time. How do you approach a company about a job when they’re not advertising any openings? And whom do you call? You CAN find a job in a bad economy – but not with conventional search strategies. To win a job now, you need a recession-proof plan. Ford's new book “Get the Job You Want, Even When No One’s Hiring” explains why your chances are better than you think, and gives you the strategies to land your dream job. These skills and techniques are well-known to those inside the career coaching field, but little known to most job hunters.

One thing Virtual Assistants, Web Developers, Online Business Coaches and other people who work largely in front of a computer screen all have in common is that we work largely in front of a computer screen! This means that we can quickly become tired, experience eye strain and back aches, weight gain and just generally begin to feel run down and cranky if we don't take control of our lives and incorporate physical activities into our work day. One thing that we all share with the rest of the world right now is what I term "news driven economy stress". No matter what your industry, whether you are self-employed or employed outside of the home, economy concerns seem to be driving stress levels to very high levels which can affect your health, your mental acuity, and your relationships. Did you know that recent research indicates certain forms of exercise requiring a fairly consistent repetitive motion can alter one's state of consciousness?

Entrepreneurship comes with its own set of obstacles to overcome. While many of us dream of creating successful businesses from the comfort and warmth of our own home, it is all too easy to get caught up in the day-to-day issues of building and growing our businesses. Whether you work in a small section of your dining room table, in the spare bedroom, a corner of your garage, or in your own private office, staying organized can pose one of your biggest challenges as an entrepreneur. Many of us let filing and organizing go during busy times and think we'll deal with everything when we "have time." But beware of the clutter trap; it can truly take on a life of its own. A messy desk and chaotic filing system (physical or virtual) siphons off your time, energy, focus and productivity. Whether you are self-employed, a telecommuter or just need a place to pay bills, several questions should be answered and routines established when setting up a home office. “Miss Organized”, Tracy Paye is a rich resource
