Workplace Bullying
Bullying in the workplace is alive and well and has been for decades and even longer. It's only been up until recently that this sad and tragic epidemic has come into focus in large part due to the toll it has taken mentally, physically, and emotionally on millions around the world. What is bullying? Bullying is defined as any deliberate attempt to embarrass, intimidate, devalue, or humiliate another individual privately or in public.

What Retirement Fund?
I'm not alone when it comes to worrying about my retirement accounts. Unlike many people in their 20s, I actually did begin saving for retirement at a young age. I didn't do so well with it in my early 30s, but rebounded around age 35. I had a nice nest egg—a good start that I could continue to add to until I needed to begin withdrawing it.

How to Succeed in an Unpaid Internship
There’s been a lot of debate lately as to whether unpaid internships are fair, and it’s safe to say it’s definitely not.

I’ve done my fair share of unpaid internships, and I’m going to help you get the best out of your time, and your savings account.

Why I Write
Why do I write? That's funny, I often ask myself the same thing! I remember being a little girl, writing as early as I could write...and probably even before then...not that it made any sense. As I get a little bit older, I realize that the biggest reason I write now is to get it out. I have lots of made up stories that I keep saying I'm going to write a book about, but that never happens. What I do write about is my feelings in a journal. I find that a lot of the time, you feel like you have no one to talk to and no one listens even when you do talk to people. So I started writing it down again, in a little book that I keep hidden from the rest of the world. Whether it be my feelings, or a thought I had, or even something to do with my anxiety or happiness or what have you. If I'm feeling a certain way about someone or something, I have that in my mind when I write it and getting it all out there on paper, even if that person doesn't read it, is a big help! Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad. If I have any real strong feelings at all, or even scared, etc., I will write it down. It really does help!

Where Do I Begin?
Writing has always been an escape for me. First, it was an escape from the torment from others then it became an escape from the torment in my mind. You see, if you were to crack open my head and peer in, you would see a jumble of ideas, stories, thoughts, lyrics, hopes, dreams, etc. I feel like it would cause even the smartest out of our species to go insane. How have I lived with all of this inside of my head? As my title says, I have no idea where to begin with my history with writing, but I guess I could try and sort it out.

Sales People Need Special Qualities to Succeed
When I was a student at Dale Carnegie Training, one of the first things I was taught was how to make friends. To be able to connect with people and make friends is at the crux of being a good retail sales person. Genuinely caring for others fosters goodwill and opens the door to do business. If you don’t like people, a sales job is definitely not for you. You can pack your bags and hit the road. But if you do have an interest and a knack for drawing people in, come along for a ride to step up your game as a sales person.

Too Little, Too Much!
People always told me, you’re doing too many things at once, focus on one thing and do it the best you can instead of being average at a bunch of things. I believed it and that’s what I tried, one thing at a time. I dedicated my life to one talent or hobby months at a time. Trying out one thing after the.
