Renewable Energy, article

-- Quote of the Day --  “Regardless of the new technologies that come and go, strategy is the one thing that will remain constant and knowing how to formulate, create a strategy that is long term – not just something that generates income in the short term. …Researching demographics and buying patterns and knowing who the audience is and being able to pinpoint who a potential customer may be  …[Todays] marketing really is so much more than just putting an ad together it has to take into consideration the features and benefits of the product, the pricing strategy, how it is being distributed.  ...A common definition of work ethics – a trainable set of values and behaviors – The seven values and behaviors are: positivity, reliability, professionalism, initiative, integrity, respect for authority, and gratitude ” ~ Joshua Casto Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode titled: Busines...

-- Quote of the Day --  “…There is a fine line between asking them to be their best and asking them to be the best. So try and be more compassionate and help them recognize their unique gifts, their unique skills… their decision making, an action they took on their own. …one of the most effective tools for recognizing self limiting thought patterns is to write down a dream – something you really want to do and on one side write down all the things that you can think of that will never make that dream happen; and then read what you have written. And then rewrite those negative beliefs to be more positive. …Every second of every day is a new start. Let go of those who have hurt you, forgive yourself for the mistakes you have made, give yourself a new slate as often as you can – be the person you want to be today and live in the present. ” ~ Maggie Steele Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode that aired back on titl...

Green & Positive Living

-- Quote of the Day --  “I like being part of the green movement and being able to make a living. …The industry really has grown by leaps and bounds. …It is too bad that so many people refer to recycling as a dirty or nasty thing but when you go to scrap yards it is a very clean and neat place – where they are very environmentally conscious places that are very conscious of making sure oil is going in the right place and water quality is protected. Just recycling aluminum that has already been made saves 80% of the energy that would have been used to make new aluminum from raw ore. …we’ve gotten things in my scrap yard that is 100, 300 years old. …Any type of scrap metal that you have is recyclable, it doesn’t matter what kind you have. In fact, the rustier the better - because it will have a higher quality of steel. …For us it is all about the green movement – what can you do to help the green movement? To make your generation better than the one before...

Spouses - Family & Being Prepared

-- Quote of the Day --   “…What I have learned is that both spouses should have knowledge about the finances – what you have, where the resources are, how to pay bills, and what to do about taxes. It is a good idea to have a financial advisor – elder care lawyers can help you with basic wills, advanced living wills, advanced directives, powers of attorney… pay for or plan a funeral ahead of time. …When you’ve got too much on your plate you have to pace yourself - You have to store up your energy for a more stressful time later on in the day. Prioritize, you don’t have to get everything done; pick out the most important thing. Try to focus on one thing at a time rather than thinking of everything at once. Slow down; and savor the good moments. ” Terry Corcoran Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode titled: Spousal Caregiving  (*Click on the title to access the full discussion)  -- Importance of Fa...

Referral Corner

-- Quote of the Day --  “When you can go from a place of pain to a place of renewal – and this will take some time, it won’t happen overnight – but when you do get to that place you realize how strong you are and what you survived. …We are a loss-denying society – the problem is if we don’t talk about it, it is still boing to happen to us and we will be ill informed.   So we hurry it along, we don’t necessarily make the right decisions and then feel like something is wrong with us. …Your happiness is not dependent on the presence of another person. …If you need any part of the healing journey get some help – it is not a sign of weakness to ask for help to move through the grief process. …It is so important to understand that the heart expands infinitely to embrace love. …Your past shapes you; it does not define you – don’t live a destiny that you didn’t choose.” Carole Fleet Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio ...

World of Writing, Interview

-- Quote of the Day --  “…It is really about what works for the writer first, what really gets you going and producing content. A lot of people do it backwards – they worry about who the audience is and what they want to read and it often ends up as some of the driest reading ever. …There is this misconception out there that in order to be a professional writer you have to have a certain type of degree; and that is not necessarily true. I know lots of people who have degrees who are not necessarily talented …but I know lots of writers who don’t have professional training but are very creative. …If you want to be a successful writer you have to open yourself up to technology, you need to take control of your author’s platform and need to understand how to put work out there that is not ‘spamy’, that speaks to people in a real way and taps into their creativity.” ~ Emily Breder Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode ti...
