I'm six months pregnant and I did something recently I should have done months ago - I had a prenatal massage. Ahhh..... heaven. I've had this ongoing pain in my shoulder (on the side I carry my 2-year-old daughter, go figure) and it hurt to do pretty much everything. But you know, as a mom, you just suck it up and do it anyway.I finally broke down at my last OB appointment and asked if I could get a massage for the pain. My doctor gave me the thumbs up with the caveat to make sure the person I went to worked with pregnant women.So, off to Google I went to see what I could find.

Drilling For Oil and Digging for Internet Riches
It is my guess that not many of those who are reading this article have much experience in the "oil patch"! That's where our story begins....Operators in the oil patch have a very true and useful expression....Follow The Rainbow. What that boils down to is that in drilling an oil well, a large pit next to the rig is dug, and that's where the water that comes out of the hole goes to. The sludge drops to the bottom and the water which is less dirty is sent back down to the drill bit to keep it clean and cool, as well as to carry the debris back to the pit.It is in that pit that inexperienced operators get fooled!Hydrocarbons (such as oil) float on top of the water. This layer can come from any number of sources, including the grease on the pipe joints as well as oil down in the hole. This thin layer creates a rainbowon top of the water which is misinterpreted as OIL in the hole! Seeing this, the inexperienced operator gets excited and "follows the rainbow", dumping dollar after dollar into trying to comple

Team Building: Why Can't We All Get Along?
When team members clash, disaster strikes. Project deadlines are missed, HR referees team members, the boss is angry for a week, and the raises everyone expects vanishes in the face of discord.These clashes typically occur because the team’s personalities get in the way. Each team member has their own unique personality mix which contributes to their ability to communicate, work under stress and make decisions. Wouldn’t it be great if the team could harness their personality for productive sessions rather than battling sessions?Personality is defined as a collection of emotion, thought and behavior patterns unique to a person.Personality tests have been around for years. There are many types and variations, Briggs-Meyer, Enneagram, Keirsey-Bates, Hippocrates, Spangler, Jung, etc.Most separate personality into four categories.

Breaking The Voice Mail Barrier
Even if you never place a cold call, you still have to reach people by phone. That customer who was so interested last month never called you back, and now you must call her. You call once, twice, three times, but you can't get her in person. How can you manage to close a sale if all you ever get is voice mail?Doing business in the age of voice mail can be extremely frustrating. While it is true that some people leave their voice mail on all the time, you can sometimes get through by calling off hours. Try calling before 8:30 or after 5:30. You may also find people at their desks during the lunch hour.So should you keep calling or leave a message? Actually, you should do both. Assume that most people won't call you back, so just keep right on calling them.Josiane Feigon, principal of the telesales training and coaching company, Telesmart Communications (www.tele-smart.com), suggests that you try pressing "0" or "0"# to transfer to the receptionist.

Eliminate Your Personal Debt By Debt Consolidation
If you have personal debt, then debt consolidation or credit counselling are probably the best ways there are to reduce or even eliminate your debt. This is a quick solution to a problem that could potentially last for years, even decades. In fact, it takes some people decades to eliminate their debt, while others are able to get rid of their debt in a short period of time.There are different approaches to debt reduction or debt elimination and the amount of time it takes to erase your debt depends on which debt elimination approach you choose. The worst thing you could do is to sit back and just watch your debt increase without even lifting a finger to speed the debt relief process up. If you are a passive person, there is a big chance you'll be in debt for the rest of your life; your freedom is strictly limited.Many people can't believe that debt consolidation really works. The only advice I have for you is; try debt consolidation and you'll see the actual numbers for yourself. The internet contains lots of
