Or should I say I have "realized" the secret. Please bear with me for a moment...At this point, I believe most people are familiar with the books, movie, and discussion surrounding "The Secret". If anyone has not, the movie site is here: http://www.thesecret.tv - the book can be found on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Extended-Rhonda-Byrne/dp/B000K8LV1O - and discussions abound.

What is the unemployment rate calculation, how is it calculated, and is it accurate? Since the measurement is an estimate of the number of unemployed with respect to the labor force, it is more proper to call it a ratio but we will continue to use rate for consistency. The official unemployment rate reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) might not be an accurate representation of the

Effective networking between humans is more than just collecting a contact.Establishing a true network of individuals requires active communication.Communication or True Networking only occurs when connected individuals invest personal time in getting to know the other individual's talents & capabilities (see Paul's post "Networking for Business - Part 1").

Networking is something we all do every day of our lives. Many do their networking ‘accidentally’. However, many also have realized the power of networking and have made it one of their tools. A tool they use for their own benefit and to help others. There is a philosophy of “Giver’s Gain”, identified & defined by Business Networking International (BNI) as “The "Giver's Gain Philosophy" is an

When we meet someone for the first time, we generally say Hello, myname is ---. Then engage in some discussion.

Whether it’s human or computer based, networking is synergistic. The whole is truly greater than the sum of the parts. When either systems are interconnected with other systems, there is greater power than when they are not.In computer networks, the power of “the network” lies in the applications reachable through the network. In human networks, the power is in the reach of the network. In both

Have you been hearing a lot about something called “networking” and wondering just what the heck it is exactly? If you’ve asked around, you probably get the sense that nobody really knows what it is because if you ask 10 people, you get 11 different answers. That may be because “networking” will be different for everyone, at least in the details of how, where, when, and why you network. In
