On this week’s episode of SUCCESS Line , I talk to Patrick, a real-estate entrepreneur who recently wrote and self-published his first book. He has already sold 500 copies, which is no small feat, but he has big dreams of best-seller lists and sequels. .

Imposter Syndrome afflicts over 70% of all people, and many don't know it is standing in the way of their dreams and goals. It is prevalent among people considered to be high-achievers. It can show up as overperforming in one area and underperforming in another. I had the pleasure of talking with Eimer Duffy and Phillip Twyford on the Let's Get Social Show, and we talked about this common phenomenon and what you can do about it.

As a psychologist who’s been in private practice for 25 years, I’ve seen that there are as many kinds of relationship problems as there are humans on this planet. But one issue that keeps coming up is about irritability — or what to do when a close connection seems to be in a bad mood all the time. . Take this letter from a reader, for example: Every day, my sister seems to wake up irritable and then stay that way.

When executives and their executive assistants form a tight partnership, magic can happen at work. It’s not just about managing schedules and arranging travel - it’s about forming a strategic relationship where the executive and EA are in it together and striving for success. EAs are in the perfect position to step to this level because they already operate in the executive sphere.

We all have taboos about money that make us uncomfortable discussing certain subjects, like how much we make, what we paid for our house or car, or how our investment portfolio is doing. Although the etiquette around discussing money is changing, many social cues tell us to avoid talking about the ups and downs of our finances in public, or even with trusted family or friends.

Marketing your business online is rough stuff. Entrepreneurs—especially solopreneurs—sometimes struggle to find their ideal audience. No one is instantly great at it, which means customers are bombarded with lousy content every hour.

Starting a business isn’t just a way to make money. It’s also about individual freedom and control. To be successful, a startup needs a foundation that focuses on moving the business smartly in the direction you want it to go. We say smartly because it’s easy to try something to see if it catches on before trying something else that may be 180 degrees from what you just did, causing heartache, loss of time and resources.

Information is the new currency for business. The thing is that the more data a company has, the more customized its product or service would be. But just the presence of data does not help a business to succeed – information needs to be analysed, tested and then relevant insights should be extracted. This can be done by hand, or you can implement business intelligence tools and process it automatically.
