After studying just about everything that has been written or said about personal development many authors have come to the conclusion that the root is your level of self-confidence.

Self-confidence is the critical factor in everything you accomplish because, with the appropriate amount, you will try almost anything. 

Many people underachieve in their careers because they do not realize the areas of personal development that can help achieve mastery in any field.

There is no substitute for hard work.  If you set a goal, make a plan, and work on it every day, you will see personal development and progress within your career.

There are no limits except for the limits you place on yourself with your thinking.

Commit yourself to lifelong learning. Even if you are at the top of your field, there is always something to learn.

You will become unstoppable and you will see your entire future open up in front of you if you live a goal and growth-oriented life.

Research suggests that we only remember between 25 percent and 50 percent of what we hear. 


Listening means paying attention not only to the story, but how it is told, the use of language and voice, and how the other person uses his or her body. In other words, it means being aware of both verbal and non-verbal messages.

Listening is a highly valued soft skill sought by all employers. After all, people with this ability are more likely to understand tasks and projects, build strong relationships with co-workers, and also be able to solve problems and resolve conflicts. 

Since it's such an in-demand skill, employers will look for you to demonstrate your ability to listen during job interviews. In this course, you will discover why good listening skills are vital in the workplace, along with how to build good listening habits while avoiding bad ones.

Marketing automation is all about low-cost, effective communication with prospects, which means email and social-media communications.  Every marketing automation system starts with basic email blasting and adds tons of features designed to facilitate beautiful, effective mail sequences on an industrial scale.  In order to improve email effectiveness, the marketing automation system includes templates for the mails and campaign designers to provide a clear, consistent path for the customer as their level of interest and information evolves. 

The effective marketing automation system is actually a content management system in disguise, so it must explicitly manage its content assets through a lifecycle. As those assets are typically stored on the company’s databases and website, the marketing automation system needs to be able to rapidly generate attractive registration and download pages. Since prospects’ behavior can’t be predicted in advance, marketing automation systems need to have workflow management features to facilitate “A/B split testing” that provides data to guide the refinement of web pages and campaign sequences for optimal results.

Working from home is a desirable scenario for many employees. Remote work usually offers flexibility in your schedule, and considerable time savings from not having to commute to and from an office. The arrangement is beneficial for employers, as well. Remote workers expand your field of talent from anywhere in the country, and can save you money on physical office space.

 There’s no question, telecommuting requires intentionality and self-discipline from the home worker. It can be challenging to put yourself in a professional mindset without others physically working around you. Not to mention there is nobody around to see if you are in a blazer, or pajamas.
