What is your inner mind chatter saying to you when you're afraid, worried or thinking about new career choices? I am currently writing a free report on limiting beliefs and would love to hear which thoughts are YOUR worst enemies! Is it more like "I am not good/pretty/clever enough" or that you're "lacking" certain skills? Thanks for your input! I barter your thoughts for the finished report.

(which we all have to a certain extend) and the latter: 'What will my family think...' is one that also worries many. I tend to work with my clients on proving them wrong in terms of the first one and in regards to the family, help them work out WHO is exactly expecting WHAT.
I found that with most of my clients it is actually themselves who don't want to let their families down (rather than the family simply expecting the person to take over the family business or do what THEY think is right) because they value family very highly. However, this can be dealt with as well, by establishing a route that will be good for both the family and the indivudal!

In general, Men and Woman struggle at maintaining friendships. An office friendship is a safe male/female friend zone, but you need to be careful because many affairs start in the work place: http://jentalkstoomuch.com/2011/01/men-and-women-cant-be-friends-pt-3/

Hello Social Experts! I'm hoping someone can provide me with some tips/insights. I have an entertainment blog that is currently doing pretty well when it comes to loyalty and retainment. Unfortunate, it is not spreading very quickly (slowly would be more like it). I was hoping someone could give me some tips/insights as to how to spread my blog around.
Thanks!

Well, here's why: I'm sure you've had a friend (everyone has) who only calls when they need a place to crash, or when they need help moving, or when they want to borrow your power tools. Usually they're not very good friends. Usually you stop taking their calls. My point is that people who ask and ask and ask without ever giving anything in return generally aren't that highly regarded.
I'm sure that's not who you are in your day to day life. I'm sure that's not who you are on those platforms and networks you use more often. But in this case, on this network, that is who you're being. If the only time you say anything is when you're asking for something, it's kind of a faux pas, and it doesn't reflect well on you. I'm sure it wasn't intentional, and I wish you the best of luck, but the way you approached this can rub people the wrong way. Self-promotion is great, but it's best kept to those platforms you're personally involved in on a regular basis.

I'm sorry if everyone felt 'spammed' by my post of the Mad Men contest. I did not know I could post once and have my relevant networks see it. I'll know for next time when I post someting that there is a way to only do it once.

I started reading your writing to see what I can say but soon forgot that - your blog is damn funny (even without your personal tidbits) and something in your writing keeps us engaged - you're great at storytelling. I think you will figure out where the blog goes over time, just keep writing - it's always good to have a blog which is worth just reading, not only for "getting useful information."
