A Road Map to Success By Steve Betsworth

Carrot and stick

This is the most traditional method of motivation and the reason that most of us goes to work; the employer pays us money and that is the carrot.  However, you don’t have to look far to see that research will demonstrate this to be one of the least effective means of motivating people.  Give more money and expect people to work harder; it may be a theory, but does it work?  Well if you pay people more money to do something they don’t really want to do then you will probably simply be encouraging people to find ways to cut corners.  Look into the soul and discover what motivates deep down.

Follow the crowd

It is difficult to rebel and easy to accept the intentions of others and just go with the flow.  So if there is a general consensus on an issue at work, what is the motivation to be different?  It will single you out and make you a focus that you weren’t before you voted to be different.  Most people go with the flow, either because they are ambivalent or because they simply don’t feel strongly enough about the issue.  So perhaps your route to self-development and success is by breaking against this mould; but you should be confident of your reasons before you do it.

Genuine Duty

Fulfilling a duty that you genuinely believe in makes us feel good.  There is something quite fulfilling about discovering what is right and worth standing up for, and then deciding to ‘do the right thing’, regardless in some cases of the consequences.  Doing the right thing should be recognised by co-workers and employers alike, but again, you should exercise caution when deciding on this course of action.  You can be sure of a good night’s sleep and a happier outlook if you do follow your sense of duty and do the right thing.

Integrity breeds respect

Making the right choice and following your sense of what is right is a fundamental human characteristic that is not unanimous, and it takes effort to develop integrity.  With the hard work of developing integrity will come the rewards.  Those around you will trust and respect you more for having integrity, trust goes a long way to increasing your self-esteem as well.  Following what is right is often the most difficult thing to do, and that is one of the reasons that people will respect you for it.  Communication between people who trust each other is out of proportion with those who do not, and it is clear and effective communication that helps us progress as people and in all aspects business.

Overcome Your Blocks to More Success By Judith K Sherven

When you think of people who are living a fabulous life who comes to mind? Bill Gates? Meryl Streep? Some prince, princess, or high dignitary? Bill Gates is the richest man in the world and he is deeply involved in helping people around the world. That’s not only fabulous, that’s almost fabled.

But if you knew someone who was going about their life without fame, wealth, and public adulation, would you say that that person is living a fabulous life? For most people the answer would be “No.”

And that makes the lives of 99%-plus of the people alive at any time unfabulous. Are fame, wealth, and public adulation the only criteria for a fabulous life?

We think not.

What about:

** Being true to your deepest desire.
** Standing apart from the crowd. .
** Putting yourself on the line, which means you take big risks.
** Speaking your truth.

Anyone who can live according to those standards is truly living a fabulous life.

But we all know that, no matter our intentions, most people (including those who are successful) are confronted, almost daily, with obstacles to their own fulfillment.

Yes, there are external obstacles. But the obstacles that really matter, that are actually far more powerful, are the unconscious blocks and resistances that dictate what you can and cannot do and who you can be - no matter what you tell yourself consciously.

Those unconscious limits take many forms and dictate what you have internal permission to pursue and what is forbidden to you.

But there is one limit-maker that applies to everyone, no matter their status in the world, which can seriously prevent you from living your fabulous life. And that is your willingness and capacity, or not, to advance beyond your station..

By “station” we mean the extent to which you can envision yourself out in the world. Because when that vision is limited, then to that extent you impose your own restrictions on how far you can go toward self-discovery, self-acknowledgment, self-expression, and self-satisfaction.
You are not divine but human. You are not infinite nor eternal. So there will always be some measure of limitation to which you can envision yourself out in the world.

And, right now, what’s the extent to which your vision propels you forward toward a larger life? And, how is your vision currently limiting the way you are presently living?

To live a fabulous life is to step out beyond the extent to which you can envision yourself at any moment. Because when you do, you are in a moment of discovery, of daring, of hearty imagination as you realize and bring to life the rich gifts that exist within you.

No, you don’t have to be fabled to be fabulous. But you do have to be willing to step out. And step out again, and again. When you do, a truly fabulous life awaits you.

To help you overcome the unconscious blocks that have been holding you back, take advantage of these 7 tipshttp://www.fearofbeingfabulous.com

Judith Sherven (along with her husband) is a best-selling author of 5 book, clinical psychologist, and the creator of “Overcoming the Fear of Being Fabulous” and related programs.

Anyone who has looked into getting a grant knows that there are two different types of grant applications. The first is the kind that deals with getting money for undergraduate studies. For instance, if you live below the poverty line you will want to obtain a grant to attend college. For this type of grant the student will probably be sent a form that needs to be filled out and returned. The form will ask such questions as what is your annual income, what do you plan to study and some personal details. This is a pretty straight forward process and doesn’t require much effort on your part as the federal government’s education department will do all the calculations and determine how much you will get.

The second kind of grant is completely different from the first. This one will require some effort on your part. The second type of grant is usually requested by students to fund a research project or something to that nature. Every school is different and each one will accept certain grant proposals for different things. This of course depends on the size of the school and the size of the schools budget. If you do choose to apply for a grant make sure it is unique and eye catching. This will give your application a better chance of being approved.

Here are a few ways to help your grant proposal stand out from the crowd:

Include a detailed research proposal - Make sure your research proposal is in plain English. Use a little jargon for effectiveness. Make sure it is laid out well and easy to understand. It should be 6 pages long. No more and no less. Do not use any fancy fonts. Use the standard which is usually times new roman.

Put together a well-reasoned yet logical argument - Never argue against yourself. That will only make you look uncertain. Your aims should be clearly defined. Use bullet points if you need to. Show them that you have already done the basic research.

Plan your time - You want to show them that you have thought about and planned for each phase of your project. Show them a time table with a break down of time frames and what will be done during each time frame. Show them clearly how you plan to reach your conclusion. Bring to the forefront any unique issues you expect to occur during your investigation.

Include extra material such as recommendations - Seek out recommendations from anyone who will be supervising you throughout your investigation. Clearly state how they will be involved. Example, what will they be doing or what is their roll in this project? You will also want to include a resume for yourself that should be no longer than 2 pages.

Set a budget - Set up a budget so they know that you actually thought about the costs involved. Try to cover every angel. Don’t forget this part. This will show just how committed you are.

Don’t jazz it up- Never try to jazz up your proposal to much. Make sure it is delivered in the appropriate layout. You want to show professionalism. This will help keep your proposal noticed.
Follow these few tips and you should have no problem writing a well received grant proposal.
