Casual Articles - Are You Engaged?
Close your eyes and think about logos that you associate with products. All of us can name several such products in just a few seconds. The most popular logos for me are the golden arch of McDonalds and the Chevy emblem. Both have stood the test of time, allowed the company’s to change with market demands, and stay imprinted in the minds of consumers all over the world. Coming up with a logo for your business can be very difficult. You want it to be original and relative to the type of business you have. You will need to be creative, as well as make sure your logo isn’t too similar to that of another product or service on the market.Where to get a logo<

The Law of Contiguity states that one thought will lead to another based on conditioning. Such as "Abraham" and "Lincoln". As a matter of fact two ideas are never present at precisely the same moment; so that "contiguity" really means "rapid succession". One idea being given, the other follows directly in its wake. So in reading advertisements one word of a headline is seen before another, one part of a paragraph follows an earlier part, so that a "train of ideas" is set up. The Law Of Sequence states that mental associations work more easily in one direction than in the other. "Forward associations", that is, associations in the direction in which ideas were originally prese
You can instantly recognize people who are fully engaged. They are focused, working on what is most important at that time, and committed. And you can recognize those who are not. Which are you?
Why your head should be in the game
Here is what happens when you aren’t fully engaged. Your efforts are scattered. You don’t do your best, which hurts you and hurts your employer, colleagues and clients. With one foot out the door and one in, you are dissatisfied which often negatively impacts your personal life. You are certainly not using your talents to their fullest. You are wasting your precious time and may be a productivity risk to your employer. You aren’t making a difference. In short, you are sabotaging your career.
Certainly, we all have days when our motors just aren’t running at full speed. That’s fine. What you should be concerned with, however, is identifying if you are habitually disengaged, and if so, resolve to snap out of it.
What can you do about it?

Take a page from Dr. Phil and accept reality. Is your head really in the game or not? Here are some statements to test yourself:

Here are the basic steps of marketing & advertising you must know & use, if you want to make huge profits in your business.Did you know?Marketing and Advertising work together you simply can’t overlook the fact that if you’re running a great ad for truck parts, you may want to think twice about running the ad in ‘Dolly” magazine. Yes it sounds logical, but you’d be surprised by how many times something like this will happen each and every day.Businesses blow hundreds and thousands of dollars everyday on ads that do absolutely nothing and pull zero response! Later we will learn why.Businesses everywhere need this information and any business that’s “in”

We get asked all the time..."What is it that you do?" Most people really do not understand what we do. They conjure up things like: "Oh, you are the dog catcher" or "Oh, you study wildlife and live in the forest." NO! Not exactly :-)A typical day in the life of a Nuisance Wildlife Manager usually involves much the same as any working person. We wake up, check our schedule and have a fun-filled day working to resolve many facets of wildlife conflicts. (Well, not exactly like a normal-working person!)We could be removing a skunk from a window well. Removing a colony of bats from an attic or pulling a very poisonous snake out of a basement wall. Most days consist on you

Some look back on the economy of 2000 thru 2002 and say what a disaster 3 million jobs lost? Well one could also argue that the 43 million Americans who moved into new homes far outweighs the 3 million citizens who were looking for work. There are more people who are still looking for work who have gone into what they considered substandard vocations for instance they may be working as a manager at a Home Depot store when they were formerly an aerospace engineer with a Ph.D., this is a little disheartening to say the least but it is a fact of life in America. As people are tapped out and maxed out with their credit cards they do not have the buying power necessary to be able to co

Incorporation is the process of setting up a corporate entity. During this process certain documents are filed with the authorities concerned. These documents provide general information about the entity, which is commonly known as a corporation.More specific information about a corporation is contained in certain other documents, which are often referred to as by-laws. Incorporation is useful for small business owners, as it protects them and other shareholders from certain liabilities. After incorporation of a business, the personal assets of shareholders are safe; business creditors cannot lay claim on their personal assets.But before you decide to incorporate you

If you answered yes to 1 or more of the above, then follow the remaining steps.
2. Try and figure out why
One way to do that is to review your history. Is this the first time you have been in this situation or is it a recurring pattern? If the later, then the chances are that it is you rather than your environment. If the former, what is it about your current situation and environment that is causing it?
3. What choice can you make right now that will make a difference?
A common reaction is to identify some large change and focus on that as the answer to our lack of engagement. “If I only had this job, or worked for this company, then I would give 110%." Maybe. But what about today?
We choose how we react to our environment. What can you do today? Here are some things you can do:
Change your attitude. A reality-check can do wonders in changing behavior. Refocus.
Go deep. Overreact. Throw yourself into your wo
