But in many cases, success doesn’t just happen. It is dependent on you! You are responsible for setting the stage and positioning yourself for opportunities that can lead to goal achievement.

In a 2014 study by several researchers at Ghent University in Belgium, characteristic traits are reviewed to find out why certain people feel they are a fraud in ..read more

Twelve frogs are sitting on a log along the river. Seven decide to jump. How many are still sitting on the log? Did you say five or twelve? The answer is all of them – twelve. Even though seven decided to jump into the river, they didn’t take action and do it. There’s a big difference in doing versus deciding. We all make decisions but if we don’t act, we aren’t going anywhere. Nothing changes, and we’re still sitting on the log. It’s often said that knowledge is power. But knowledge is only potential power. Action is power. So what’s holding you back from achieving more, doing more, being mor ..read more
