And if the employees are not well then the performance decreases, and with it the productivity. In fact, our performance and personal productivity is strictly linked to the way we feel, to our emotional state. There are so many reasons for which we might temporarily feel stressed or... more...

You might think that some people are just naturally successful and others are not. Perhaps that is true but I have discovered that achieving success is a skill.

Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you try you just can't get ahead? It is almost like you are attracting new obstacles into your life. The truth is that you just may be. The obstacles in our lives hate the positive, and they are attracted to the negatives. It is amazing how much I find myself thinking and acting in response to what I perceive as the negatives in my life.
