The Best Business Secret That You Already Know

Brain Based Business has a question about using our heads.
You could say … successful people deliberately refocus their brains for better shots at success. Does that describe you?

Giving Your Brain A Competitive Edge?

Telling It Like It Is asked a question of behavior — Have I seen this on Twitter?
If you think that bullying is only a problem for school-aged kids, think about the people in your life or business office who ridicule others because of their physical size, racial prejudice, social status (or the lack therein) etc, and you will likely be able to come up with a few people you know that are bullies.

Might I remind you to “be nice.”

Sun Coach Blog took on a question of dramatic proportion.
Their lives are about survival and so it’s natural that they react so quickly and dramatically. but what about humans? Beyond our physical safety instincts, do we need to create drama in our lives?

Open letter to big labels/artists

SuccessCREEations took on a challenging question.
The reason the question isn’t easily answered is that blogs are simply tools. It would be like asking “What is a hammer’s competition?”

    Ahem! Cough, cough, ptooey!

    It’s “Untwisted” not “Twisted”, although I do consider myself twisted at times. :-)

    RT, Yeah I think Liz has it right….LOL You are a little twisted sometimes. :)

    Liz, I like that you mention my post in relation to Twitter users, since some people get downright nasty and mean. I am hoping to find that Twitter will enforce their rules more than what is shown in the Terms, ’cause some people are simply vicious. Thanks!

    Liz, thanks for the brain link!! It was fun to read the other sites too! Cool list!

    How exciting about your adventures abroad. It will be fun to watch the dram unfold — and I sense it will dance in Broadway! You rock, Liz!

    Hiya!
    I very much liked your response to the question. It was trickier than it seems on the surface. (I also like your baker’s dozen hammers.)
