Lots of people are having problems short of money. Though their income can be spelled out very big. looh, still less?Most people to overcome this is by working harder. And the latest news, more HARD WORK NOT TROUBLESHOOTING You! Hard work okay, but it is advisable to add one more, namely WORK SMART!Continue, whether the Work Smart Financial problems can be resolved? Not yet!You need to learn Financially Smart. This reply is not found in schools in general. Such that, many people who consider that “to get rich is difficult”, “businesses that need capital,” and so forth.What Is Financial Intelligence?Financial intelligence is the solution of your financial problems.Financial intelligence to solve all your financial problems and other problems. Too bad if Finance Intelligence is not sufficiently developed to solve financial problems, the problem will remain.Problems do not go, it is often times worse and cause other problems. As an example of someone who planned retirement fund. If they fail to solve it, it would be a terrible problem with getting them and the more money that they may need to live and health care costs.
Like it would also not like it, money affects the lifestyle and the quality and comfort in life.
There are 3 ways people in dealing with financial issues:
1. Poor way to overcome financial problems.They assume, that they are the victims Money. They feel the only who have money problems. They assume, that if they have a lot of money, their problems will be solved. Their attitude toward money will reply to the problem. The attitude of those who create their own financial problems. Their inability, or avoid actions will only prolong the list of their financial problems. And the problem will be even greater as a mountain. Instead of getting rich, they are actually getting poorer.
2. Middle Class way to overcome financial problems.While the poor become victims of money, the middle class is the Prisoner Exchange. The fix is very unique. Rather than address the financial problems, they spend money for more schooling in order to find a secure job. They experienced. They make enough money and have jobs who are pretty safe. However, those who innermost hearts, they know that they are stuck in financial problems and they lack the financial kecerasan to escape from the prison of their office. They are more appreciative of job security rather than financial challenges. Rather than being entrepreneurs, they are actually working for the Entrepreneur. Instead of investing, they actually gave money to the management of financial experts. Instead of improving financial intelligence, they hid themselves in office.
3. How to overcome the problem of the Rich Man Financial.In the process, they do not work alone. They work in a team work in addressing the financial problems faced reply. Have experts who are able to solve financial problems. And they become more financially savvy and equipped to solve the financial problems who arise in the future. The rich don’t stop, they are learning.By learning, they get richer. Here’s who do not have any others ..
Hopefully useful!

5 Easy Ways To Increase Mental Focus and Concentration
By Jessica Blackey
Mental focus is important for everyone, from the child getting ready to go back to school to the senior adult desiring to prevent Alzheimer's disease. Here are five easy ways to increase mental focus, end depression, sharpen memory, and delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Now I can't make any guarantees that these tips will for sure help your memory, but according to research, they should help. Below I came up with 5 ways that you can sharpen and increase your mental focus.
5 Ways To Increase Your Mental Focus
1. Eat a good breakfast. A healthy diet is one way to enhance mental focus, and breakfast is the best place to start. Twentieth-century American nutritionist and writer Adelle Davis once said, "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper." That recommendation holds true today. Skipping breakfast can affect mental acuity, emotional well-being, and energy levels for the rest of the day. In fact, one British study found that people who do not eat breakfast perform poorly on memory tests and have higher levels of physical and mental fatigue later in the day.
2. Drink more caffeine. Not only does coffee taste good and can get someone going in the morning, but it also has health benefits. According to research reported by WebMD, coffee drinkers are less likely to have a number of different health problems, including Alzheimer's related dementia. A 2009 Scandinavian study followed 1,400 coffee drinkers for 20 years. Those who drank between 3 and 5 cups of coffee daily were 65 percent less likely to develop dementia. It appears that coffee wakes up the senses and keeps the brain sharp.
3. Keep the body hydrated. According to a "European Journal of Clinical Nutrition" report, mild dehydration can cause cognitive impairment and poor mental performance. The study looked at aging seniors and younger adults. To enhance mental focus, people should drink plenty of fluids, especially water, throughout the day. Those who drink coffee to sharpen mental acuity should drink extra fluids to counter caffeine's diuretic effects.
4. Listen to inspiring music. Music improves energy levels and engages the senses. Most people know from experience that uplifting music sharpens concentration and encourages creativity. The power of music to enhance mental focus is well-documented. Listening to music and taking note of the various sounds, images, emotions, and even smells it evokes, is a great way to exercise the brain.
5. Have a good laugh. Nutrition, exercise, and leisure activities can have lasting effects on physical, emotional, and mental health. Research shows that investing in laughter can pay good dividends, too. Everyone knows the adage, "Laughter is good medicine," and studies reveal that laughter has a profound effect on a person's overall health. In addition to the physical and psychological benefits, laughter can sharpen a person's mental focus. It moves the attention away from stress, anger, guilt, and other negative emotions that can cloud a person's concentration.
Breakfast, caffeine, water, music, and laughter are just five ways a person can increase mental focus. There are many other ways to enhance mental clarity, improve memory, and lift depression. But these five suggestions are easy methods that anyone can incorporate into their daily lives. Simple and scientifically-proven, they are great ways to increase energy levels and keep mental focus clear and sharp. Hopefully you can incorporate some of these simple techniques into your own life so that you can get more accomplished.

How To Stop Procrastinating: Finding The Payoff
By Carmen Gilfillan
Mastering procrastination is about undertaking with determination, motivation and excellence those tasks for which there is no obvious psychological reward. This article looks at how to stop procrastinating by finding the payoff in any task you undertake.
Examples of activities where there may seem to be no clear or immediate payoff may include:
Working on a very small activity which is part of a larger task. If you're building a house for example painting the beams of the house is a small activity which may seem quite unrewarding but which is an important part of the project
Undertaking a small task in of itself that just needs to be done: writing that letter, making that phone call, sending that email. The effect of carrying out these 'little', seemingly unimportant tasks may be significant even though the payoff, once the task has been done on time, may seem small. The effect, however, of not carrying out these small tasks can be enormous.
Often, when we are proactive there may seem little reward for what we do: the world does not seem to change that much once the task or activity is complete; we may not always feel a huge sense of relief once the task is done; there may be no fanfares at the end of the task.
However, when we think through the consequences of not writing that letter, making that call or sending that email we realise just how important these 'small' tasks are.
Strategies The following are strategies that show you how to stop procrastinating and raise the importance in your mind of the task(s) you're doing:
1. Set a time limit that turns the activity into a race against time exercise. This raises your motivation levels, adds a reward as well as adding an interesting element to carrying out the task. You also over time improve your ability to work to deadlines.
2. Follow the task up with something you enjoy or even love doing in order that your mind is not focused solely on the activity.
3. If you are engaged in an undertaking you do not enjoy give yourself a reward for completing it. One reward may be to take the rest of the day off. In this case you simply do not schedule anything in for the rest of the day and allow yourself to do whatever you want to do.
4. Think through the consequences of not carrying out the task and use this as a reverse incentive to push on with it. Neuro linguistic programming (NLP) specialists say our motivation is either towards something pleasurable or away from pain. This is an example of when you are avoiding the pain of not doing something you know you should.
5. For larger tasks map out exactly what you need to do. If you are building a house create a plan of action you can refer to that goes alongside your architectural plans. This gives you a psychological framework and lets you see where in your plan your beams painting activity comes. It also gives you a sense of progress because you know where you are in your plan at any one time.
6. If there is an activity you really cannot face enlist the help of those around you (your support network) to either assist or motivate you.
7. Start each day with one main activity you do not enjoy. Do it before you tackle anything else. Set your time limit. Complete the task, give yourself a reward for doing so, then continue your day as normal. The payoff is either the reward or the satisfaction you feel that a job has been done well, quickly and is out of the way.

Change: Friend or Enemy?

In life, something is always happening isn't it? Change, chosen or thrust upon us, is our constant companion - whether we like it or not.
When we are faced with making changes in our life - whether they are physical, spiritual or mental - it helps to ask ourselves the Twelve Top Questions For Change in order to sort out our thinking, make the most of the change impulse and prevent regrets like "What was I thinking?" Like tattoos, some changes are very permanent. We are well advised to consider the outcome before making a drastic move. Ask yourself:
Why am I really making this change?
Is my desire to make a change rooted in positive motives?
What does the new outcome, or result, look like to me?
How will it affect, or alter, my life as it is now?
How will it affect those closest to me?
How committed am I to the change?
How long will it take to make the change?
What are the biggest obstacles to making this change?
Who will support me the most in the process of change?
How much will this change cost? Really can I support it financially?
How can protect myself against naysayers and temptations that may sidetrack me?
When am I willing to begin?
If we ask ourselves those questions, and are honest about the answers, we will most likely be successful at making the change. If we discover, by asking the questions, that we have questionable responses, we might want to ask for outside advice, rethink the issues, or put the change "on hold" for a month while we get to the root of the issue.
If you are confident in your motives, by all means, step out and make the change. Invigorate your life with the excitement of all that is new. Fresh beginnings, enhanced experience, challenges, goal raising, health improvement - all of these are great incentives to keep you motivated while making a life-change. Go for it. Refresh your mind, body and soul with inspiration, courage and daring. Life will become exhilarating. Pass along your enthusiasm and encourage others to make change a friend and not a foe.
If you hit a bump, don't worry. Go back to the Twelve Top Questions For Change, refresh your rationale and renew your determination to make the change. By repeating this exercise often it will help you through the challenging moments and keep you motivated and moving forward.

Get More Confidence To Do The Things You Really Want To Do
By Dave A Patrick
Would you like to get more confidence? Do you get depressed when you think about things you'd like to do but your lack of confidence is holding you back from doing them? Well this article is going to give you some simple ideas to help boost your confidence so you can start achieving the success you want. These are Ideas that you can start putting into practice the minute you have finished reading this article.
Change your imagination
Are there things that you would love to do but...you just can't imagine yourself doing them? So why can't you imagine doing them? Could it be that you have actually hypnotized yourself into believing that you can't do them? Something in your past, and it doesn't really matter what it was, convinced you that you can't do the things you really want to do. You then passed this information to your subconscious mind. Did you know that your subconscious cannot think for itself. It just accepts everything your conscious mind tells it.
So all you have to do now, is to persuade your subconscious mind that you can do something you really and truly want to do. And how do you do that? By using the very same process that you are using now- your imagination! Sound simple? It really is! However, in order to get through to your subconscious mind you need to be in a very relaxed state. And the best way to put yourself into this state is through practicing the technique of self hypnosis.
Now a lot of people when they hear the term hypnosis immediately think of those people they've seen on the TV doing stupid things for some guy calling himself a hypnotist. That's just show business. That's not what we are talking about here. When you are in a self hypnotic state known as a trance you are fully aware of everything around you at all times and you can come out of your trance at any moment you choose. You will also find that you will benefit physically as well as mentally using self hypnosis.
In a deeply relaxed state you will be able to visualize yourself successfully achieving all those things you want to achieve because when your totally relaxed and thinking positive thoughts it is impossible to worry. You will also find that the more you practice self hypnosis the quicker you can reach a state of deep relaxation and slowly but surely get more confidence.
