Quick Tips: "How To Prepare For Change" Fast Facts: "The World's Worst Pregnancy?" “Some People ARE Luckier Than Others (Here's Why...)”Guess what? Good fortune DOES seem to smile more often on some people.That's the finding of Professor Richard Wiseman of the University of Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom. Professor Wisemen spent 10 years studying 1,000 people who saw themselves as either very lucky or unlucky. But here's the more powerful finding: you can change your luck. Yes, you can become luckier in life. According to Professor Wiseman there are four (4) key reasons why some people are luckier than others: 1. Lucky people are generally more relaxed and therefore tend to notice more around them. Unlucky people tend to be anxious and narrowly focused and therefore tend to miss things. Consequently, not only are lucky people able to see and respond to positive opportunities, but they're also able to see and take steps to avoid dangerous situations, moreso than those who are unlucky. 2. Lucky people tend to smile more and use open gestures. As a result, they tend to not only attract more people into their lives, but also inspire others to be positive. Because lucky people make more positive connections with more pepole, they also attract more opportunities - whether in their careers, business or personal lives. 3. Lucky people are more intuitive... and their intuition is generally right. Rather than spending too much time trying to assess information, they trust their gut. 4. Lucky people believe they will succeed. Because of this belief they persevere in the face of obstacles. Unlucky people are easily deterred and tend to give up. So how can you change your luck for the better? Take steps to become more relaxed, smile more often, trust your gut, and never give up! * HIGHLY RECOMMENDED * “How an Ordinary Manager Transformed a Struggling Business On The Verge Of Collapse Into a $40 Million Company”Here’s a shocking, yet true, story... At the start of last year, a good friend of mine took the job of Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at a small technology company. The company was five years old, but hopelessly unprofitable. It’s backers – a venture capital company – were growing impatient with the company’s abysmal performance and ordered the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to appoint someone who could commercialize the company’s technology – so they would finally have a product to sell. Otherwise, the venture capital company would no longer fund the business. My friend was excited about the job. He was a bit of a risk taker, and despite the pressure, looked forward to helping the company bring its product to market and build it into a profitable business. But there was one problem. A big problem. The staff, the CEO warned him, were “incompetent and lazy.” In fact, one of the reasons the CTO was being hired was to get rid of the “dead wood.” “Frankly,” the CEO told my friend, “you’ll probably have to fire the lot of them.” ==> Discover what happened next... “How To Prepare For Change”Corporate merger... a tragic loss... moving house... these are just some of the major professional and personal changes you may experience in life.You'll likely cope with such changes better if you recognize and accept three distinct physical and emotional phases brought about by change: 1.

The beginning of the new Tip: embrace the new and focus on the positives. * HIGHLY RECOMMENDED * “How Insiders Get The Jobs They Want...
