Book review; One door, Two Locks The 7 keys to Unlocking the Door to Success in All Areas of Your Life



1st  

Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, categorized  these two separate skills sets as "general skills" and "specific skills". Specific skills are the knowledge and know-how necessary to perform a give task or trade. To become a professional golfer, for example, you have to learn to expertly use all the clubs in your bag and execute a variety of shots. General skills, on the other hand, are the personal, all-purpose skills needed to get the most of your ability, get along with people and get ahead in life.

See, here is a benefit of success. To become a success, we have to push ourselves harder. As we do, we become better. We grow. And when we grow, our life becomes better and better

                                                  The Best Me I Can Be

I saw a bird up in the trees.
He glided through the air and such great ease.
I wished I could fly like him.
But then I thought that I should think again.
Where I have arms, he as wings;
My hands let me do so many things.
Would I be happy to give mine away?
No. I think the ground is where I'll stay.
I saw a horse that could really run;
To move like that would be so much fun.
I wished I was strong and fast like him.,
But then I was I should think again.
I love to read, learn, and grow;
My book take me places he cannot go.
Would I give all this away?
No, on my two legs is where I'll stay.
All around there are people I see;
Just like them I want to be .
I try so hard to be like them.
I think it's time to think again.
The way I'm created is part of the plan;
I can fulfill my purpose with who I am.
I think I that I will just try to see,
That I'm the best me I can be.

Summer Bash 2012 at Ontario Place- Atlantis was a massive success!

Summer Bash 2012  was the biggest party of summer happening at Ontario Place-Atlantis, with 700+ professional in various industries descended to the great waterfront.

Prior to the event starting Constant Contact had a session led by Susan Corcoran Authorized Local Expert who shared Social Media Made Simple to jammed room. (picture below)





 After the session everyone headed to the main floor to join the rest of the group who had arrived and check out the various booths, have some appetizers and network and enjoy the evening.

 Donna Messer the queen of networking led three session throughout the night on strategies and insights that have worked in her 30+ career in the networking field.

 I had the great opportunity to work the evening with Marc Gordon (speaker,consultant) and well known for http://marctv.net/  (offensively good business show). I served as the photographer with my new iPad as we walked around asking unsuspecting attendees questions like What is your 30 infomercial?  What is your unique selling proposition?  (Check out the pictures below) We had them try on some very quirky and funny costumes and everyone enjoyed in participating.

There was big cake served to celebrate the 10th year anniversary of Unleash Pr and Jennifer Beale mom was in attendance to join in the celebration.
