The idea of personal growth for me has gone 360º in my thinking about how it relates to business.Let me explain why. I am a “READY GO” person so in the early days of my business I felt that the personal growth component was not a priority.

At first, I felt that far too many people “nested” in personal development and never did the business. I was just the opposite. I didn’t do anything much in the direction of personal growth. As my organization grew, and grew very quickly, I discerned that not everyone has come along the same path of development. People, all of us have come to the business via different directions having come from various career backgrounds. Many of those career paths are not terribly rich in providing opportunity for a person to develop and grow. We all need to be growing in our journeys here on planet earth.

What I will tell you is that it does not build your business to stick your head in a book or tap your toes to the introduction music of the motivational tapes more an hour or two tops per day. This is NOT income producing activity. Income producing activity needs to take at least 80% of your work week. I have no more than five suggestions in my “Leaders are Readers” section and then a few more in the “Supercharge and Take it to the Next Level” portion. I separate the two so new business coaches know they can get started quickly with a short list in terms of personal growth. On my short list is the following:

- Watch or read The Secret (www.thesecret.tv)

- Add these important books to your library and make it a priority to read them…

o Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

o You Were Born Rich by Bob Proctor

o The 4 Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss

o The Power of the Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy

These are not in a particular order except one and two. Listening to The Secret will greatly assist people in an important mind-set ? that of being in the state of attraction. Don’t feel you need to be able to do this perfectly right away. It doesn’t happen for most people that way. We are a work in progress so give yourself permission to do your work a little at a time. Whenever I find my mind going to a negative I take a deep breath and move myself to a positive state. So first is the mind-set of attraction. Next I want my new starts to spend time with Napoleon Hill in Think and Grow Rich where they will immerse themselves and feel the importance of growing themselves personally. Early in this work, Hill suggest how to master self-confidence. This confidence piece is one of my favorites. Do a team call on confidence and focus on the portion of his writings.

The 4 Hour Work Week is the freshest piece I have read in a long time. Readers will be highlighting and taking notes on the perspectives and checking the websites Tim Ferriss suggests. It will be a book to carry around with you as you grow your business and choose to develop a lifestyle only some people “dreamline”. You Were Born Rich is just a timeless piece from a highly respected mentor to so many of us. Bob Proctor helped me understand that we are all born with abundance and what we do with that is up to us. Joseph Murphy’s The Power of the Subconscious Mind opens a bright new way in which you use your mind!

The privilege we have before us with a network marketing business is what it allows us in relationships and the development of individuals. DON’T be a gerbil on one of those little tread wheels going round and round and never getting on down the road toward your financial goal. DO hold in high regard the value of personal development. Plan to jog your way through the short list and walk on to whatever you choose to supercharge to the next level. Just make it as easy as possible in the start up to begin your journey of growth.

A very important decision for you as you commence on the yoga path is to choose the right yoga mat. First let’s have glance at the qualities of the perfect yoga mat. In terms of practice, it must be offer traction. In other words it should allow your body parts to grip it firmly without slipping. This is essential in doing yoga poses that have to be held for extended periods. Next, it should lie flat on the floor when you spread it out. It should be soft enough to cushion you body yet firm enough to give support. And you should be able to clean it easily.

Yoga mats are generally a very thin mat. They are used in order to make the ground or floor more comfortable for sitting and lying yoga moves. A mat is a good investment and it may be one of the first yoga accessories you wish to purchase. There are many different types of yoga exercise mats and rugs, including:

CLASSIC” Yoga Mat

“DELUXE” Yoga Mat

Cotton Chemical Free/Organic Ashtanga Yoga Mats

OM Logo MAT

“DELUXE” Yoga Mat Roll

UTOPIAN YOGA MAT

Yoga Blanket/Serape

All these factors depend on the material. When it comes to yoga mates, you have the choice of natural or synthetic. Natural materials such as jute or cotton are sometimes known as yoga rugs. Synthetics such as latex or PVC are sometimes known as sticky mats. Yet other mats are made from a blend of jute and natural rubber. All types of mats have their pros and cons.

Yoga exercises are performed on the floor usually with bare feet. The postures may lead to loss of balance especially in the beginning stages and may result in a fall. You need something that will avoid direct contact of your body with the bare floor that will also protect you in case you lose balance and fall. Yoga exercises can make you sweat a lot, in turn introducing a tendency to slip easily. Mats can help you here and minimize the potential to slip and also protect you in case you do. A yoga mat is designed with precisely these requirements in mind, and is an invaluable accessory for serious practitioners of yoga. Yoga mats can be purchased online.

However, you may need to pay attention to the little that is needed because of some peculiarities of Yoga.

Choosing between remaining at present company where the working hours and salary are decent. There aren’t any training opportunities though and the boss is an absolute nightmare.

Have received an offer at another company which offers a much higher salary but involves a long commute - an hour one way and much longer working hours. Plenty of training and personal development opportunities though. Unfortunately, it is rumoured that the staff there are quite aggressive towards the management, which I’ll be a part of, and there’s the risk of personal threats.

Which option makes the most sense?

importance of human relationships, integrity and competence.
Social workers are guided by professional code of ethics on advocating for justice, change, equality, human rights, and well-being of all individuals. This includes, but is not limited to, disadvantaged, poor, vulnerable, and oppressed individuals; the most helpless in society. Our role as social workers is to empower individuals to function more effectively and help them develop the necessary skills to effectively cope with the complex issues of their everyday lives. Therefore, I am committed to helping build a society that treats all individuals fairly and equally. All individuals have a fundamental right to live decent, dignified, and fulfilling lives, but society is structured such that not all individuals have equal access to necessities such as food, housing, safety, education, and employment. As social workers, it is our responsibility to ensure that individual needs are met so people can be more self-sufficient and able to make the best possible choices for themselves. Just as individuals have basic biological needs they have to satisfy in order to function, relationships are also vital to satisfy their emotional, physical, security, social and educational needs. The family is the primary source of support for individuals when they are dealing with problems in their everyday lives. Some families have external and financial resources to help them with their problems, while many others do not. Often, problems arise within a family or relationship from a lack of communication.
Social workers see the family as the basis for our human growth and development as well as for giving support. They engage people as partners in the helping process. The family must be supported and strengthened because it contributes to our well-being. Most importantly, relationships helps us learn from each other, develop, grow, and live more productive and meaningful lives. It is important for social workers to recognize that relationships can and will affect individuals and our behavior. We need to strengthen relationships to help each other get along with family that provides for individuals well-being.
Another personal value that places the highest ethical standard to social work profession is integrity. These are the standards of right and wrong, what each of us ought to do usually in terms of rights and obligations, benefits, common good, least harm, and social justice for all individuals. All of which are central to social work practice to helping the disadvantaged, vulnerable, and oppressed individuals live more productive lives. Social workers must adhere to the ethical principles of integrity on maintaining a high code of behavior, honesty, trust, being respected, and having a sense of justice and fairness. Being honest and having integrity can be a guide for everything that one does. Knowing what to do when no one is watching, knowing the difference between doing the right thing and wrong thing, and keeping your word are all examples of integrity. These are attributes that social workers should practice as professionals and in their everyday lives. Having integrity is respected both in personal and professional relationships. One needs to display a certain amount of sincerity and morals when working with clients. A social worker, specifically, must uphold the highest level of morality. They need to maintain that level when other people try to challenge their views and test their wills, or when social workers are challenged with ethical situations, and they have to maintain a sense of integrity to their profession. We need to understand that clients’ will have different values and beliefs that are different from our own and as social workers we must be open to learning about their differences and still behave in an ethical manner.
