Does corporate leadership equate to political leadership?
Can a country be run in a similar way to running a business? Does corporate leadership equate to political leadership? It would be possible to find examples in support of both these questions and as much evidence to counter them but the contextual difference is important to note when considering leadership in general.
What’s inside?
From The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle
A beggar had been sitting by the side of the road for thirty years.
One day a stranger walked by.
“Spare some change?” mumbled the beggar.
“Nothing, ” replied the beggar. “Just an old box. I’ve been sitting on it for as long as I can remember.
“Ever look inside?,” asked the stranger.
“No,” said the beggar. “What’s the point, there’s nothing in there.”
“Have a look inside,” insisted the stranger. The beggar, reluctantly, managed to pry open the lid. With astonishment, disbelief, and elation, he saw that the box was filled with gold.
I am that stranger who has nothing to give you and who is telling you to look inside. Not inside any box, as in the parable, but somewhere even closer: inside yourself.
Tons of self improvement gifts for you
I have more than 300 fr.ee gifts for you today.
These are brought to you courtesy of a pair of two amazing marketers who are running a massive “mind and body” self improvement giveaway right now:
The Self Help Gifts Giveaway event is definitely one of the better giveaways that I have seen recently, and I think you will really enjoy what they have to offer.
I have checked the site for quality and it is a thumbs up from me. Self esteem expert Dr. Joe Rubino and fitness professional Carolyn Hansen have teamed up to produce a smorgasbord of self help gifts for you to choose from.
So what will you find once you get across to the event?
I saw downloadable ebooks, memberships, videos and audios, software, and e-courses.
These were on topics as diverse as parenting, relationships, health and fitness, stress management (always a good one!), working from home, business management, confidence building, and quite a few other self help categories.
The gifts cost nothing simply because events of this type are run with the aim of introducing you to a host of vendors of self improvement products who you would otherwise probably never get to come in contact with.
Here are some of my favorites, glanced while checking out the site (some perhaps tongue in cheek, I don’t know yet, but they had me intrigued):
====================================
SPOTLIGHT #1
Dr. Pat Allen and Don Schmincke’s:
THE TRUTH ABOUT MEN
What the good doctors say: “The Truth about Men will set you free… But first it’ll p*** you off!
Discover how a man’s mind works during intimacy.
Is dating often frustrating or painful? He’s not doing it to you deliberately.
Get the upper hand by knowing what men really think about on a date.”
====================================

====================================
SPOTLIGHT #5
Jim Donovan’s:
THIS IS YOUR LIFE, NOT A DRESS REHEARSAL
Got to at least love the title of this one!
Says Jim Donovan: “Published in multiple languages in more than 20 countries this book has been read by hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world, ordinary people, like you and me, who simply want a better and more satisfying life.”
====================================
Really, this event has something for everyone.
So create a new folder on your hard drive and get ready to start filling it with gifts that speak to you as you move through the pages of the giveaway.
Remember, there are hundreds of gifts to check out, and they are all 100 percent f.ree. But the event will only be running for a few days so you will want to visit it before they close their doors.

Blitzing the paper mess? 3 vital steps to take to ensure success
Is it time you took control of your paper?
Are you losing things?
Drowning in a sea of teetering stacks?
Dreading tax time?
Missing appointments?
Then don’t put it off any longer. Start now with these 3 steps that will ensure success.
1. Visualise the rewards
Imagine for yourself
- the time you will save
- the feeling of wellbeing when we look at the tidy desk, shelves and cupboards
- No more lost documents
- The reassurance that accounts will be paid on time
- Always being in the right place for appointments and meetings
2. Choose a time. Avoid office hours if you can. It is an all-too-noticeable distraction from your work and you want neither an audience nor anyone else distracting you from your task.
3. You can choose to do the whole job at once or divide it into motivationally small tasks, but stay on track. Take the phone off the hook, do one thing at a time and say no to distractions no matter how urgent it may seem to water the garden, feed the dog or top up the pen supply. Remember that the more clutter there is, the faster the job will be. Visualise the rewards.
OK now you have the basics in place, you can create your success!
