Would you like to be sure that your personal goals are consistent with your business goals? (Yes) (No)
You might have certain personal goals that are, or become, divergent to your business goals.
For instance, let’s say that you set clear personal goals to compete in the Iron Man Triathlon in Hawaii. Obviously, to compete in an arduous event like this you not only have to train rigorously, but you also have to qualify by competing in a number of prior triathlons, placing high enough in these events to earn a bid fro the Iron Man in Hawaii.
At the same time, let’s say you are married with two kids, and you have set some very aggressive professional goals, which include starting your own business and making it profitable within a 2-3 year time horizon.
Given the fact that the average new entrepreneur puts in 60-70 hours per week and you have family responsibilities to consider, chances are you will experience major goal conflicts in your life when it comes to competing in triathlons. Something has to give.
Do you give up your sports goals, your business goals, or your family?
These are tough decisions.
They all boil down to making sure that your personal and professional goals are compatible.
The process of setting synchronous personal and business goals speaks to the importance of setting a clear and workable life strategy. The process of creating a life strategy includes the homogenization over time of personal and business goals. Unless you unify your goals there will be goal conflict, which fosters turmoil in your life.
For the best results, you need to start by creating a life strategy that makes sense to you in terms of satisfying all of your personal and professional aspirations, leaving quality time for your family, and fitting everything into a reasonable time schedule.
In general, people today work too hard, play too hard, and neglect their health and rest time. It is truly a challenge to fit everything in and lead a balanced life.
At the end of the day, at the end of a career, if all you have to show for all of your hard work and hectic schedule is a large net worth while your family never saw you, and your health suffered terribly because you drove yourself too hard, you have to ask yourself, ‘Was it really worth it?’ Take it from expert workaholics, balance your life, plan your life, and enjoy your life -you can take happiness and love with you, money you cannot.
Keep in mind, there are always trade-offs in this process of goal setting and life strategy building. It is important that you weigh all your options in order to make choices that support a healthy and happy life for you and your family.
Yes, it may take a change in mind-set, career, lifestyle, or even location to balance your life, still be productive, and achieve the goals that you want to achieve.

Milano, ITALY February 15, 2005 — Multi-platinum artist Sananda Maitreya finishes recording the last songs for his album “Angels & Vampires - Volume I”. After having announced “Angels & Vampires” as his next project in 2001, since May 2004 gradually the songs have been released on the www.sanandamaitreya.com website as soon as they were recorded. The album holds four Chapters and the most recent one is Chapter 4: “The Return of the Missing Lincolns”:
* If All I’ve Got
* Right Brain Says
* The Kind Of Girl
* I’m Your Daddy
* Reach Out
Plus 2 instrumental songs will be offered as FREE downloads the coming week.
Maitreya about the project: “Angels & Vampires relies quite heavily for its musical support from the four basic food groups of live music: real drums, bass, guitar and keyboards and went with a more intimate and organic sound in order to reintroduce sonic subtones back into the bodies energy matrix long weakened by compressed digital overload and its over emphasis. Sonic subtones help to bolster the bodies electromagnetics and sense of overall wellbeing. Angels & Vampires also sought to create a sound base which would provide more emotional space in which the songs might breathe and feel less constricted.”
All songs are written, arranged, produced and performed by Sananda Maitreya.
“Angels & Vampires - Volume 1″ is SANANDA’s 6th project after the release of:
2002/2003 “WildCard -The Jokers’ Edition”
1995 “Vibrator”
1993 “Symphony Or Damn”
1989 “Neither Fish Nor Flesh”
1987 “Introducing The Hardline According To ..”

Perennials are a favorite type of garden plant for many gardens
as they will bloom for several seasons without replanting.
Perhaps one of the best qualities of perennials is that you can
divide them and make more plants for free! Dividing your
perennials periodically is important as it will keep them from
getting overcrowded and help insure healthy lush plants.
Many perennials can be divided easily, but this does not hold
try for every variety. In general, division is easiest with
perennials that grow in clumps or ones with an expanding root
mass. Perennials which stem from single taproot typically cannot
be divided but can be duplicated by using root cuttings or seeds.
It is important to divide the plant at a time when the plant is
most likely to be receptive to this procedure. Fr plants that
come up in spring and summer, the best time to divide them is in
the fall Perennials that bloom in the fall or late summer should
be divided in the spring.
You can divide perennials with a minimum of preparation. If you
will be replanting the divisions, you should have already
decided on the new area and prepared the soil to accept the new
plants. If you are dividing to give the plants to a family
member or friend, have an appropriate receptacle handy to put
the division in.
Loosen the soil, gently, around the plant clump that you plan to
divide. You can use a spading fork to scrape up the dirt and be
sure not to damage any parts of the plant. The clump should then
be sliced with a garden trowel and divided into four parts. Make
sure your trowel is sharp so you get a clean cut, otherwise your
plants could become damaged. Break up the four sections by hand
into four inche by four inche sections. Plant the small sections
immediately.
When you are dividing plants, make sure you thoroughly wet the
soil a couple of days before you do the division. This will make
it easier to dig up the clump for division. Also, you should add
compost or some other organic material to the soil both around
the original plant and in the soil where the new divisions will
be planted. This will give the plants the nutrition they need
and help them to grow strong in their new area of the garden.
Once the new plants are in place, make sure you water thoroughly
and fertilize appropriately.
Planning your perennial plantings and divisions can help you
grow your garden without having to spend extra money. All it
takes is a little bit of time and patience and you can have a
large full garden on even a small budget!

Some students spend too much time studying because they did not take the time to learn what was being taught in class the first time. If you follow these four tips, you will learn how to understand each lesson being taught in class so you will not have to put in extra time studying. This does not mean you will not have to study, but this will become a guide so you can use your time wisely. While you are in class, sit back and learn as much as you can and you will almost certainly get better grades and have more free time.
1. If possible, try to sit near the front to eliminate distractions. Teachers will probably not have a problem accommodating you if you ask them to sit you in a specific location in order to help you focus.
2. Avoid distractions such as chatting with friends, looking around the room, doodling, dozing, and daydreaming. Keep busy by participating in the discussion, asking or answering questions, and taking notes.
3. Contribute to classroom discussions. Raising your hand and offering your thoughts or ideas will help the discussion progress, make the teacher notice that you are actively taking a role in your education, and finally, help you sort out what you do and don’t know or fully understand. Try not to feel intimidated about raising your hand and answering questions. Start offering answers to questions or topics that you feel comfortable with and eventually this will become a habit. Eventually you will build enough confidence to contribute on a regular basis.
4. Listen not only to what the teacher is saying but to what your classmates are contributing to the discussing. You can learn a lot by listening to your peers.
