If the World was a Village of 100 People

Philip M Harter, a doctor at Stanford University of Medicine, is generally credited with compiling a snapshot of how the Earth’s population would look if it was shrunk to a village of just 100 people, with all the human ratios still remaining.  I am uncertain whether Harter made these calculations himself or whether he came across the figures (it depends where you look!)  Read More

Life Work Balance Tip: Feel the Self-Limiting Belief....and Do It Anyway!

Monday, September 20, 2010

Or should this post be entitled, "When is a self-limiting belief not actually self-limiting"?  I was inspired to write this post by one of my FaB clients who I coached earlier this week on a self-limiting belief around money.  I felt this life work balance tip would help you with your self-limiting beliefs.

This couldn't have come at a more appropriate time. Only about ten minutes earlier I received an email offering an interesting job opportunity. While reading the i-did-this-in-the-90s-with-my-eyes-closed description to my husband, I commented that the sad thing was that I was doubting that i could deliver on the project. Thanks for reinforcing the fact that this way of thinking was b******s.

This was a headline in last Wednesday’s Daily Telegraph.  Apparently, in 1990, British workers spent 37% of their day working "intensively", then peaked at 49% in 1995 but this fell to 40% in the latest update covering 2005.   Read More

Hi Amanda, I really enjoyed this EZine and found it very motivational, when I have something to do that I dont want to do - not knowing where to start is one of my problems, and taking that first step is often the hardest part, but once Ive done that then the rest is not so difficult.

Amanda, how timely. We're at a crossroads in our family's life. What we really want to do is both be self-employed, sell everything, buy an RV and tour the U.S. with our wee kids while working "from home/rv." I'm going to sit down with my hubby and start working on identifying your #1, 2 and 3, then take the first step.
Thank you!!
