I’ve heard many clients and friends discuss how they just can’t
seem to move beyond their current situations in life. They can’t
find a better job, make more money, find happiness in
relationships, or find fulfillment. The question I usually ask
is, “What is your idea of the perfect, fulfilling situation?”
They usually sputter a few ideas then stop and realize that they
truly don’t know what it is that would bring them fulfillment.

As we grow and change, we eventually run into the outer limits
of our safety zone known as our “belief system.” The belief
system confines our existence, and consists of the knowledge and
experiences that shape who we are and what we value in our
lives. What was fulfilling, is now a burden. What was exciting,
is now boring. At this point, we must learn how to extend, or
change, our belief systems to allow us to move forward and find
new meaning and new fulfillment.

— Spheres of Belief —

A belief system can be viewed as consisting of three distinct,
yet interconnected, “spheres of belief.” Each sphere represents
an area of our lives that we maintain as our own secure zones.
Our core values and beliefs that affect our daily lives are
taken from the combination of these three spheres.

* Sphere One: The first sphere contains relationships and our
interpersonal goals. It represents our interaction with others
in our lives including family and friends. It provides us with a
foundation of security for interpersonal interaction and growth.

* Sphere Two: The second sphere contains professional goals.
This is the area of our life that supports the ability to work
toward a vision with the knowledge to provide security for
ourselves and our family.

* Sphere Three: The third and final sphere contains personal
goals. This sphere contains our knowledge and experiences that
define our personal desires, goals, and direction. This is also
the area in which we store our personal identities.

The primary benefit of building and maintaining your spheres is
that they provide a solid and definable arena in which you can
live and work comfortably. However, the problem is that,
occasionally, these spheres become too confining and eventually
limit your growth. In essence, when you hit the outer wall of
any sphere, you must determine the best way to increase the size
of the sphere to accommodate your growth and still maintain your
security.

— Establishing Core Values —

>From birth, we constantly receive information from which we
build and create a belief system and core values. The
information comes from our environment, parents, people we feel
are in authority, and various other inputs. In some cases, the
environment is positive and in others, it is negative.
Regardless, it is that with which we all learn to cope until it
is familiar and comfortable.

For example, if we grow up in a loving, family environment, then
we learn values that are essential to the creation and
establishment of a loving environment. If we grow up in a
hostile environment, then we will learn the values that are
essential to maintaining a hostile environment. People always
turn to that which is familiar, regardless of how wonderful or
harsh, because familiarity provides security and acceptance.

— Understanding Your System —

In every case, you have to understand the various information
and aspects of your life that shaped your belief system. When
your belief system no longer provides support for your direction
and desires, then you will be aware of what has shaped your
beliefs to limit you.

When you do reach the outer wall of the basic belief system, you
can become stressed, depressed, lost, and unable to move down
your path. In this case, you begin to lose hope and simply
settle into a lifestyle that is “just there” and you cannot go
beyond where your system allows you to go.

You must understand your system to change your system. This is
accomplished by examining the things that are important to you
and determining the things that have shaped your beliefs. Some
of these things, you will find, are no longer important and are
simply holding you back. Other things, of new importance, appear
just outside of your reach and cause you stress because you
cannot reach them—unless you change your system.

— Changing Your System —

It is important to realize that if you always do what you’ve
always done then you’ll always receive what you’ve always
received. To move forward and build on your current foundation,
it is important to continually reinvent yourself and make
changes to your basic belief system.

Reinventing yourself and changing your belief system does not
mean completely eliminating the things that are important. Just
as you would not quit your job without having something else
available, you cannot expect to completely eliminate your
current system and values and expect to succeed. It is a process
of changing or eliminating the things that no longer work, using
the things that are available to suit your direction, and
determining how to acquire the resources necessary to reach your
ultimate destination. It is a process that moves at your own
pace.

— What’s next? —

Once you’re able to analyze your current system and determine
where it is that you ultimately want to be, you will be able to
determine the changes necessary to create a new and workable
system for you. The next step is to implement your changes and
become proactive in your life. You will then be on your way to a
new and fulfilling life!

Good luck!

The most difficult challenge most web designers face is getting traffic to your site. There are plenty of companies who promise to send traffic your way. Sadly, most of this traffic is not qualified. Yes, your hit counter will move higher, however, if its not qualified, you may find you have unhappy visitors to your site. Unhappy visitors will not click on your ads or purchase your products.

Once you have optimized your site, consider submitting it to every search engine. If you want to get spidered quicker in Google, have a web page with a PR of 4 or higher point to your site. Your site will be spidered within a couple of days!

One myth I would like to bust is that PR is a measure of a web site. Its not. I receive countless emails offering a reciprocal link with their PR5 or PR6 site. Unless my link is appearing on the main page, or a page that has PR6, I am not getting a share of PR6. Most likely, my link will appear on a page that has a PR2!

Page rank is Google’s ranking of that specific page’s relevance. Just because the main page has a PR of 4, does not make every page on the site a PR4. Beware of sites who claim that they will exchange links with you and its to your benefit since they have a PR5 or PR6. Where is your link appearing? If its on a page that has a PR of 4 or 5 or 6, great!

Reciprocal linking, if done properly, will ensure that your keywords are at the top of the search engine. If you have a popular keyword, youll need to have more back links. Pick your link partners properly, and ensure that they are linking to your keyword.

For example: if your site is www.joesdinner.com, consider sending out requests to relevant higher ranking pages to start with, followed by lower ranking pages and ask web designers to link back in the following manner:

< a href=http://www.joesdinner.com >best dining in new york < /a > - joes dinner is the only place to eat when you’re staying in New York.

Presuming their keyword is “best dining in new york”, having links pointing to your site with an anchor tag incorporating your keywords will improve your search engine rankings dramatically.

Once you have established a collection of sites pointing to your site using your keywords, you will start receiving reciprocal link exchanges from other sites. This is where you can start to be particular.

If you want to maintain an effective PR and attract better sites for linking, follow these tips:

a) Is it indexed?
While their site may be indexed, the page where they are placing your link, is it at least indexed by google? If you type in allinurl:www.sitename.com/links/right_here.html and there are no results, consider declining their offer. If the page your link appears on has not been indexed, there is no benefit whatsoever to you. If your pages have PR, they may consider placing your link on another page. If the page your link appears on is indexed, but does not have PR, consider accepting their offer. While the page today may not have PR, it will in time.

b) How many neighbours?
The value of the page rank is shared with each of the links on that page. If you are splitting that PR with several other sites, your share of PR will be small, which doesnt help you. Reconsider accepting any link exchanges if your site is 1 of more than 30 - 40 sites that will appear on that page, unless its a very high PR. Further, if there are too many links on that page, Google may consider the page to be part of a link farm, which may end up penalizing your site.

c) Is it relevant?
Google is big on relavancy. Ensure your links pages are relevant. If you operate a site about golf, having links from cooking sites will not help you establish your page rank. It may cost you more than you get in return.

How to Find Good PR sites:

a) Do a search for them by typing in your keyword and start asking for reciprocal link exchanges. Take a look at their PR and go from there. Remember, its the number of sites that backlink to you that matters, not strictly the PR of the page. I would rather have 50 pages that have a PR1 pointing to my site, than to have 5 sites that have a PR5. Of course, if you can get 50 pages that have a PR5 pointing to your site, you are laughing!

b) Take a look at your existing link partners and check out their links pages. Its clear the people appearing on those links pages are interested in reciprocating.

c) Purchase software that will help find quality link partners.

It is important to attract higher PR sites when you are on a reciprocal link campaign. However, its not the most important thing when it comes to search engine rankings. Its the backlinks that point back at you that are key. The more of those, the better off you will be for your keyword.

Remember: every page starts off as a PR0. Just because its new doesnt mean it wont get a higher PR once google gets around to assessing a score. If the page your site appears on is indexed, and its a relevant site of quality, consider exchanging links. You’ll grow a large list of link partners in a short period of time, and increase your search engine rankings in the process.

If you are ready to hit the ice and start playing ice hockey you need to know about the basic equipment that is essential to your game. The very basics include your stick, your skates, pucks and protective gear. There are different types of equipment for hockey which you can choose based on your preferences. Starting out, it is a good idea to buy used or at least inexpensive equipment until you discover your personal preferences.

When choosing a hockey stick, your height needs to be considered. If the stick is too long or too short, you will put unnecessary stress on your body when trying to use it and your performance in the game will be affected as well. If you visit a hockey equipment shop, the experts there can help you to determine what type of stick is best for you.

Buying skates for hockey is the easy part. When you purchase skates make sure that they fit well and have sufficient support for your ankles so you won’t easily sustain injuries or rub blisters on your feet. Pucks aren’t really anything special although you may find that you favor one style or brand over another. They are relatively inexpensive, so trying different types of pucks shouldn’t be a problem.

For protective gear you definitely need a well-fitted helmet with a mouth guard, shoulder pads, elbow pads and knee pads. A jockstrap and protective cup is also fundamental for your protection in the game of hockey. Protective girdles that cover the main part of your body are also a good idea as are hockey gloves. Neck protectors are also available for hockey players.

When you are dressed out in your hockey gear you should be protected, but sometimes protective clothing feels uncomfortable and some types may interfere with your mobility. If you feel like you can’t move you might want to try different types of protective gear, but for your safety, don’t give it up entirely. Unnecessary injuries can be prevented by using protective gear. You’ll eventually find the right mix of equipment, clothing and gear that will make you feel both comfortable and safe on the ice. As you get more familiar with the game and what it entails, you have a better idea of what you like and don’t like and you’ll be able to select higher quality gear that suits your needs and preferences for the game of hockey.

Video technology has increased significantly over the past years, and is continuing to grow at an incredible rate. Digital Video Disc’s aka DVD’s are the most likely the last big jump in consumer video technology that everyone is familiar with. To keep up with the ever advancing world of electronics a new format of video storage will be released soon called Blu-ray.

Blu-Ray is a next generation optical disc that will blow the socks off of what we all know today: DVD. Conventional DVD’s use a red laser that have long wave lengths, which limits the storage capacity on a disc. Blu-Ray uses a blue laser which has much shorter wave lengths. Because the wave lengths on the Blu-Ray are much smaller it can focus on a spot with much greater precision, allowing for data to be packed much more tightly than the red laser DVD’s.

Blu-Ray discs can hold up to 50GB’s of information which 10 times that of a 4.5GB DVD. 10 times the storage will greatly increase the amount of information that we can save on any one disc and will change the way we save information. Dual Layer Blu-Ray discs will be able to hold up to 4 hours of High-Definition Video. High Definition video is going to hit big here, Blu-Ray is an example of a technology that is going to make it happen. 50GB is probably comparable to size of many of our hard-drives, and to picture having all of that information on a small disc that we can slide into a pocket and take wherever we want is a bit scary.

Expect to see Blu-Ray replacing DVD and VCR over the next few years, following along with the transition of video to High Definition Video. Video isn’t the only thing that will benefit from Blu-Ray technology; I would expect that it will also become the standard for PC and other types of storage.

Both short term trading and long term trading can be effective trading strategies, however, long term trading has several significant advantages. These include the effect of compounding, the opportunity to earn from dividends, reduction of the impact of price fluctuations, the ability to make corrections in a more timely manner, less time spent monitoring stocks.

1. Compounding

Time can be investor’s best friend because it gives compounding time to work its magic. Compounding is the mathematical process where interest on your money in turn earns interest and is added to your principal.

2. Dividends

Holding a stock to take advantage of payouts from dividends is another way to increase the value of an investment. Some companies offer the ability to reinvest dividends with additional share purchases thereby increasing the overall value of your investment. Additionally, dividends are more a reflection of a company’s overall business strategy and success than volatile price fluctuations based on market emotions.

3. Reduction Of The Impact Of Price Fluctuations

In the long term investment the persons is less affected by short term volatility. The market tends to address all factors that keep changing in the short term. So a person involved in long term investment or trading will not be affected as much by short term instability due to factors such as liquidity, fancy of a particular sector or stock which may make the price of a stock over or undervalued. In the long term, good stocks which may have been affected due to some other factors (in the short term) will give better than average returns.

Long-term investors, particularly those who invest in a diversified portfolio, can ride out down markets without dramatically affecting his or her ability to reach their goals.

4. Making Corrections

It is highly likely that you could achieve a constant return over a long period. The reality is that there will be times when your investments earn less and other times when you make a lot of money in short term. There may also be times when you lose money in short term but as you are in quality stocks and have long perspective of investment you will earn good returns over a period of time.

There are always times when some stocks do not perform and it is the wise choice to pull out of an investment. With a long term perspective based on quality stocks, it is easier to make decisions to change in a more timely manner without the urgency that accompanies short term and day trading strategies chasing volatile changes.

Investors that begin early and stay in the market have a much better chance of riding out the bad times and capitalizing on the periods when the market is rising by taking a longer term view using long term trading strategies.
