Just as there are opportunities being exploited there are many around there laying dormant.  The problem is that too few people have the necessary entrepreneurial  spirit to find these opportunities.

Why? Because the problem with goals is that they are made in the present, to be fulfilled in the future. But the...

The beginning of each year brings many people into the mode of creating New Year’s resolutions. But I've been thinking about resolutions lately and realized that I haven't made one in years. I never stick to them. They are usually 'broken' before January 31 anyway. That doesn't happen to goals nearly as often.

If you read my CareerJockey.org "Love Dare article" from a year back you'll see how I dedicated 40 days last Spring to improving my marriage. It's not that it was on the rocks and in bad need of repair. I just wanted to take a good thing and make it better.

In my "Novena articleI talk about a 9 day practice I followed to help get me re-focused and balanced. There are times when I get way out of whack and I need something like this to bring me back....
