If the idea of business networking sounds about as pleasant to you as doing your taxes, you are not alone. Many of us dread the act of networking because it simply goes against our instincts. We are raised to think that we should not talk to strangers, and as we grow older, we come to expect a proper introduction by a third party when we meet someone for the first time. Business networking takes away this safety net; you must introduce yourself to strangers yourself, and do so with confidence. Confidence: this is truly key. Here are six tips on how to exude confidence while you are networking at business events. Related Article Tags: , , ,
Building a positive self-image can be very challenging. Sometimes, we are just surrounded by too much negativities that bring us down - too much stress, problems, responsibilities and so on. Low self-esteem keeps us from doing things we want to do and from reaching the goals we set for ourselves. We go through life feeling bad about ourselves and worrying about things we shouldn't be.

Whether you have an uneasy feeling about someone, or you are looking to hire them to work for you, it is always a good idea to do a little investigating first. You can do so with 100 per cent discretion. How many times have you gone out and done something and someone just gave you that uneasy feeling. You couldn't necessarily pinpoint it, but something about that person just left you unsettled.

I was planning to take advantage of the Sunshine this morning and give the lawn the first mow of the season. Mr Harper, our neighbouring farmer doesn't like to see good grass going to waste and when I was greeted by the sight of several ewes and lambs feasting on poor lawn - it was perfect timing!

Today I took a trip down memory lane and had a day out at Muncaster Castle by Ravenglass (near Eskdale). Boldly passing all the people having ice-creams and cake at the caf'(c) I knocked on the private entrance door at the castle of Iona and Peter Pennington who run Muncaster, and whose family have lived there for over 800 years. Bruno (my 4 year old) was very excited because he thought we were going to meet the Queen. Related Article Tags: , , ,

A Self-Directed IRA is a nontraditional, tax advantaged retirement account that allows an investor who already understands certain markets to take a more active role in choosing how and what to invest in, rather than going the more traditional route of hiring an account custodian to make those decisions on the investor's behalf. A Self-Directed IRA puts the investor in direct control of making investment decisions. Here the investor conducts his or her own research and chooses where to invest, and leaves just the more administrative duties to the account custodian. Related Article Tags: , , ,
Insecurity and lack of a healthy self esteem are major poisons that destroy extensive amounts of human creativity, happiness and productivity. These key components are formed very early on in life and the 'fall out' of the either positive or negative input we received affects our lives for years to come, until we do something practical to change it. The good news for those of us who detect negative consequences at work in our lives is that these effects can be changed. Related Article Tags: , , , , , , ,
Our Mind is one of our most precious possessions; it's also a possession that is easy to take for granted. Rarely as human beings do we take stock and hold inventory of our thoughts and perpetual mediations. But this simple habit can mean the difference between a healthy productive mind, operating at optimum, a servant able to enable the manifestation of our destiny. Or a troubled storm torn vessel, unable to assist us is in the vicissitudes of life. In this article I want to highlight four main elements I feel will be deeply useful to consider when we are endeavouring to corral our minds in the direction that will produce the most desired results.
To further lay emphasis on the opportunity we have before us, I wou Related Article Tags: , , , , , , , , ,
This is a fabulous walk, not least because it takes in a good pub halfway round! We park near St Bega's church which is a lovely little church, built on the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake over 900 years ago. To get to St Bega's, follow the A591 from Keswick (where you will find several Keswick cottages) towards Bassenthwaite. Carry on for about 4 miles and then turn left down a small single tracked road (signed Bassenthwaite Lake and Scarness). The parking for St Bega's is just down here and then you will need to walk across a couple of fields and an avenue of ancient oaks to get to the church itself. Related Article Tags: , , ,
The activities below have been chosen with children in mind. However, I have had a fabulous time just with my mates doing these things, and we ought to know better as we're all in our 30s! Stepping into a fairy circle - a village walk in Rosthwaite. Wainwright said that "A fellwalker based in Rosthwaite is like a king with many thrones". Rosthwaite is the starting point for many wonderful short (and long) walks; north to Grange, east to Watendlath or just along the river to the pretty villages of Stonethwaite or Seatoller.

I've just received details of the Summer Season at the Theatre by the Lake in Keswick and it looks like they have some real crackers lined up. The Theatre by the Lake is in quite a spectacular setting and as the name suggests is literally a stones throw from Derwent Water. There is an abundance of restaurants and bars in Keswick itself which are ideal for a pre-show tipple or meal. You could even walk that meal off with a gentle stroll around the lake before one of these fantastic shows actually starts. What better way to spend an evening out in Keswick.

Here's a brilliant thing to do in the Lake District if you have small children and don't want to put too much effort in. Take them to Castlerigg Stone Circle in Keswick and forget about the history of it, forget the mystery within it, forget even the beauty surrounding it (although it is worth taking a moment to enjoy that 'wow' factor), just spend a happy hour there playing hide and seek. We went there yesterday, just me and the three littlies aged 4, 2 and 1. Related Article Tags: , , ,

We all hate clutter and disorganization in our lives. Well, at least most of us do. We hate to waste time digging around in closets and get stressed out when we can't find something.

If we're lucky, we've had enough forethought to store our holiday decorations in color coded boxes to make them easy to locate during the festive seasons. We all are more comfortable in a clean space and we know that it's a healthier way to live as well. Keeping your storage unit organized should be no different. Related Article Tags: , , , , , ,
