The Housing Bubble burst because negotiations were not solid. Lenders made contracts with borrowers that they couldn’t keep. Borrowers gave information about their finances that often were not true reflections of what they could afford. Real estate without real honest negotiations is only an image that sets people up to experience loss.

Relationships are based on solid negotiations as well. Striving to get along is a beginning factor involved in establishing solid negotiations. Because no man is an island, it is nearly impossible to live in this world without some kind of interaction. Once offended, getting someone to come back to the negotiating table becomes a difficult task.

Agreements  that last begins with trust and honesty. You can fool anyone using a false image of yourself or with facts that aren’t quite true but do you really want to build a relationship based on something that will fall apart later on, the word “burst” comes to mind.

It’s helpful to seek a win/win situation when ever possible as difficult issues need addressing. It can be helpful to begin rehearsing in your mind a wise yet tactful way of creating a positive situation. Language for win/win usually include phrases such as: “What would you like to see happen”. “What can each of us afford to give up”. “What do each of us seek to gain”. Negotiations that have  positive lasting effects involve both parties establishing what each  considers  valuable.

Tact is something in recent years  that seems to have been lost when it comes to negotiating. By all means do not bring up past hurts or something that could easily set some one off. Definitely stay away from the phrase “I told you so”. Putting yourself in the other persons position can be very enlightening. If  a word or statement you are tempted to use would bother you, it more than likely will offend them. If your aren’t sure just don’t do it, leave it alone until you can get sound advise.

Believe it or not the win/win you seek for begins with your own personal power. Although this might seem contrary to being tactful, personal power is what allows you the position you need to successfully negotiate, with your boundaries clearly in mind. Power comes from knowing and understanding your personal assets.

Set your sights on what you need in any negotiation without settling. Be ready to bargain with all the resources available to you. Compromise only what you can afford to loss. Buy into what is real.

This planet is approaching the season of observing the beauty of the universe,  Miss Universe that is. Men and woman alike from every nation  observing a select group of young woman. These women  are selected from minor beauty pageants from cities and towns in every country from around  the globe.

Mankind I suppose has always had always singled  out those perceived as the most attractive from those who couldn’t make the cut. Story tellers and historians have elevated the exploits of woman who not only possessed power and wisdom but who were so stunningly beautiful that those traits were only minor in comparison. We are lead to believe that they had the power in their looks alone to “sink a thousand ships”.

What comes to mind when speaking about “the beautiful people”, is what many in America associate with beauty queens, movie stars, pop stars and athletes . The good looks and perfect body’s have come to symbolize success and happiness. While parents, teachers, coaches and counselors try to change that perception, society, the mainstream and the media send a stronger opposite message. That message including the supposed innocence of  the Little Miss Pageants to the fierce competition of  American Idol .

In their head, many sensible people after awhile get caught up in the hoopla and find themselves drifting away from what they really believed about the true place of beauty in a human being. As the world becomes less private and peoples public lives become more on display, it is becoming more apparent that those with gifted physical features have just as many character flaws as those who don’t have the physical goods.

I’m not against having a strong, well preserved healthy body. We need it to live in,  to serve and function well for us. Where success seems to happen most often is when not  just  one area of our life is dominate, but when we can strengthen every area of our life.  Sometimes emotions, situational or health issues can keep us from being balanced. Someone who not only realizes, recognizes and acknowledges that he has some weakness or character flaw can be the most attractive person around no matter what he looks like on the outside. We all are Mr. and Miss Universe. We are our own  master of ceremonies and judge, we all have the power and authority to give ourselves a crown.

Lance and his owners have taken and added joy to what could have become a short, limited and sad experience. By looking for a creative solution they actually found that Lance was more than just a pet. Lance has also gained a purpose as well as an extended happy life. This Dachshund has gained attention as a therapy dog, visiting handicapped people, leaving smiles and laughter with his contagious rambunctious spirit.

Although this is about a dog, Lance represents what it takes for the human spirit to face adversity as well. Many times people facing negative challenges find it hard to seek out positive solutions. Yes, life many times isn’t very fair. Everyone has their own situations to deal with. To each person, their experience seems the  most difficult. And for many, we can say that they are truly suffering.

How do we elevate the level of our spirit?  How do we find that place deep in our being that transcends the things we are experiencing on the outside? Have we even thought about looking deeper? Is it possible that finding the courage to ask yourself  difficult questions could challenge you to make a change that just might reveal a brand new life’s purposes? You won’t know unless you challenge yourself.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is leaving her radio talk show post when her contract is over.  She believes her freedom of speech no longer exists and chooses to use blogs or pod casts along with other venues to get out her message.  However you may view her comments on the air, one thing is certain, she knows her identity.  Dr. Laura has claimed her right to be herself and this week backed that up by leaving the position she has held for a few decades by stating, “I’m done with being told what I can and can’t say.”

Knowing exactly where that line is for yourself is part of knowing what exactly you are made of.  Dr. Laura has a strong sense of what she is about.  She found that she no longer can be that on the radio.

There is a price for your truth.  Whether you are in public, in private, among friends or strangers, you make continual choices over what your message is and what you are willing to sacrifice for it. Knowing who you are and claiming that through your choices brings to life what only you can give, yourself.

Being yourself is the edge you need and is the edge you need to protect.  You will then be propelled forward into your real life.  You will take the stands you need to take.  You will speak the words that need to be heard.  You will live out the life that needs to be seen.  Find yourself.  Your audience is waiting.

Steven Slater Checks Out

Images of Steven Slater, the disgruntled employee at  Jet Blue Airlines, bailing out of a plane after cursing over the intercom, grabbing a beer and sliding out the emergency exit creates a vivid  picture of the rage point you can come to when your job is just becoming out of control.  The luxury of plane flight twenty years ago compared to today’s, is a contrast that pictures the major changes which occur in the workplace over time.  The job you sign up for today may not be the same job five to ten years from now.  You may also not be the same person.

A top tip for managing your career without staying too long or walking out too soon, is to do your own Career Checkup.  Others have done this and experienced long-term satisfaction throughout their careers.  A Career Check-up can help you discover what you need in a career and will help you stay on track with your personal priorities.

The best way to know what career path to take or what to do when you are beginning to experience signs that your career no longer fits you, is to make a written statement of your ultimate career priorities.  Keep it in a place that you can refer to easily.  This reminds you of the traits you most need, the talents you want to use, the type of people you desire to work with, the environment you work best in, and other specific career commitments.  This Career Checklist may initially take thirty minutes or more, yet save you years of frustration.  Keeping your commitments to what you need in your work life sets a bar.  You know what you require.  Undertake this habit as the number one way to find and maintain work conditions you desire.

Once you realize you are in a job that no longer fits, list out the basic reasons for this.  You may find it includes changes you’ve made as well as changes in the job.  The reason may also include personal choices you’ve made.  There are usually several other reasons as well.  Whatever the causes, they can be temporary.  After you look at your list, assess what it is that you are missing in your present work.  You now need to find what will get you moving forward again.

Blaming yourself or others is always a waste of time and it only keeps you stuck.  Progressing towards your goal means focusing on where you want to go and what it takes to get there.  Reconnect to what it is you are looking for in a career, then center your focus on what jobs actually offer the specific conditions listed in your Career Checklist.  It may even exist within your current workplace.  The important part is to know exactly what you will be doing on the job and what the work environment entails.  Performance of the 1960s airline stewardess is vastly different from the functions an airline expects from a flight attendant today.  Your idea about a career compared to the conditions that actually exist in that career can be totally different.  Get to know the details about the work environments you may be interested in and compare the actual functions of the job to what you know matches  your skills, style and other personality traits and preferences.

Become very clear about who you are and how you want to express that in your work life at www.fullcirclecoachingcenter.com Fullcircle Coaching Center is an online self-coaching  system designed to help anyone get in touch with his/her life.  Life Coaching is about asking life questions, knowing  that you have the answers.  COACHPACK uses TALKLETS to present coaching tools in a unique way that works because they are part of a state-of-the-art  online planner.  This calendar coordinates the coaching you need when you need it and brings your goals to life.   (COMING SOON)

The initial devastating affects of the Gulf oil spill have been huge.  The long-term affects are even greater. Much like the oil spill, having a personal financial style that goes unchecked can lead to a leak that turns out to be devastating in the short term and even more into the long-term. 

There are still some Golden Rules in life.  Just like the maintanence of an oil pipeline cannot be ignored, neither can the flow of your finances.  Some Golden Rules always apply when it comes to your money.  They keep you pinpointed and on track before anything gets out of control.  Having a budget is the same as having a set of coordinates that pinpoint the checkpoints of your finances.  When you go in for a health check, there are standard things that are looked at to find any warning signals that exist.  A budget sets your finances up for good health.  When some areas begin to leak out of bounds, that is the time to handle your money with caution and care.

One of the first Golden Rules of personal finance is to do a full tracking of where every penny goes.  Do this for at least a few months, track your expenses on a spreadsheet under the various categories, then compare your expenses against your income.  After you set your budget, you can do quick monthly checks buy looking at debit and credit card statements and keeping receipts anytime you use cash.  This seems obvious, but the odd thing about money is that our emotional nature is directly tied to what we do with it.  It’s easy to not take a close look.  Yet, just like going to the doctor to find out where your health really is, an annual money checkup will make you happier and healthier by facing your truth.

A second Golden Rule, after tracking your expenses, is to see specifically where your money is flowing and where the current leaks are.  There may not have been any leaks last year, but some may have crept in due to other life changes. Adjusting your budget so that it fits your life change keeps leaks from past habits from creeping up and doing damage.

A third financial Golden Rule is to handle credit wisely.  Avoid spending more than you earn. Basically, any spending on credit is a financial leak.  Unless you are able to pay off your credit card in full when the first payment comes due, you have already spent more money than what the convenience was worth.  Getting ahead of your financial game first, then spending off of savings will keep your finances from being vulnerable to a leak that devastates your lifestyle in the short-term and long-term. Being creative is a resource that is often overlooked when it comes to shopping.  Simply because a store tauts something as desirable doesn’t mean that it actually adds value to your life.  Listen to what your feelings actually are saying when you respond strongly to a product on a shelf, and then step away long enough to make a non-emotional decision.  If you’re skilled at this, it may mean a few minutes.  At the beginning, it may mean leaving the store and only returning for the product after seeing if there is some innovative way you can achieve the same effect for less or even for no money.  Check in with your budget too. When it’s truly a priority, you find it easier to squeeze another area of your budget a bit tighter and find the actual cash you need. Whatever the product, most do not in and of themselves bring happiness to you. Risking your financial well-being, in fact, is sure to do the opposite.

A fourth Golden Rule for finding your money leaks, is to create a specific amount of discretionary income each month.  Cash flow seems hard to come by when you do not have a plan to find your extra cash.  You are less likely to develop a leak when you do not pressure your finances in the first place.  After paying your expenses for the month, having at least 10% of your pre-tax income left over is a great way to begin planning cash flow.  If your monthly pre-tax income is $3,ooo, find a way to have at least $300 left over after all your expenses.  Do whatever it takes to tweak your lifestyle and your budget.  The more you feel your cash flow, the more motivated you are to challenge yourself to alter other areas and find even more cash. Cash leads to more security and more opportunity. Financial flow that stays within healthy boundaries, keeps the surrounding areas of your life unpressured and full of good options.

Dreams can have a dramatic effect in your life….as dramatic as the INCEPTION EFFECT movie, just not in the same way.  You can dream big and let those dreams take you somewhere in reality.

Ever thought that you could get in touch with your dreams to understand more of what you want in your life?  That very same idea has crossed a lot of minds.  Some have done it.  Others never did their homework to obtain the information and so never knew enough to make a serious start.

Well it’s time to explore your dreams, your visions and the potential they have to change your life.  You can let those dreams tell you what you really want and need in your life. Lucid dreaming allows you to be aware of your dreams while they are going on. Visioning allows you to be conscious of your desires while they are going on. It is actually possible to be as unconsious of your visions as you can be of your dreams.

Just like some scientists have explored lucid dreaming, some Life Coaches have explored visioning. Both are great for exploring the subconscious powers that lie beneath the surface and actually program your thoughts.  Dreams are an alternative state of reality that can effect you whether you are aware of them or not. Specifically asking your subconscious a question leads to an open door for your dreams to connect with your consciousness.  You connect with your visions in the same way.  Then your dreams and visions can guide you.

You may believe that there is absolutely no merit to the practical effects  of the subconscious mind.  It is true that pursuing dreams and visions without balance can go so far that you lose your grounding,  Being emotionally grounded gives you a context to read your dreams and pursue your visions.  Once you are grounded though, a powerful way to explore your passion for life and empower your choices is to develop ways to tap into your subconscious.

Not  only will you find that dreams and visions already instruct your reality, you will get in the habit of telling your dreams what you desire to know.  By asking a question before you go to sleep you will find that you awake more aware of what you dreamt.  The question opens a passageway for your subconscious to come through to you as you rest.  Visioning is much the same.  You ask direct questions about your life and you relax back as you allow your imagination to find the answers.

You are not alone in your pursuit to find a life that is satisfying.  The quest is in the question and the answers can be guided by your dreams and visions.

Use the inspiration of the INCEPTION EFFECT movie to wake you up to lucid dreams and visions that guide your life by visiting our site at www.fullcirclecoachingcenter.com to get started with COACHPACK.
