This is an interesting post you can check on your Yahoo browser. From an article of the same title, “10 (More) Reasons You’re Not Rich” is written by Jeffrey Strain for TheStreet.com.

According to the writer, here are 10 more possible reasons you aren’t rich:

1. You care what your car looks like: A car is a means of transportation to get from one place to another, but many people don’t view it that way. Instead, they consider it a reflection of themselves and spend money every two years or so to impress others instead of driving the car for its entire useful life and investing the money saved.
2. You feel entitlement: If you believe you deserve to live a certain lifestyle, have certain things and spend a certain amount before you have earned to live that way, you will have to borrow money. That large chunk of debt will keep you from building wealth.
3. Read the full story

I find this article appropriate to the need of the times. Youth today needs more than just influence to move volunteers and members. They need charisma (a.k.a. the ability to develop or inspire in others an ideological commitment to a particular point of view) to move people do things for the better good of everyone.

Debra Benton, author of Executive Charisma: Six Steps to Mastering the Art of Leadership offers the following simple pointers based on the experience of successful executives and leaders. More than just myth, the steps are definitely practical and realistic. These are just simple steps you may consider in improving your charisma.

Expect acceptance. Regardless of rank, expect to be treated as an equal. If you expect acceptance, you just might get it. If you don’t expect it, you definitely won’t get it.

Control your attitude. Success in business is based more on mental attitude than on mental capabilities. Be optimistic toward yourself, others and life. Walk in to a room with a spring in your step and a smile on your face.

Perfect your posture. Pull your ribcage away from your pelvis, roll your shoulders back and down, pull your stomach in and tuck your bottom toward your spine. Breathe deeply. You’ll not only look better, but feel more energized, alert and in control.

Think before you talk. Think fast, pause, then speak purposefully. One CEO practices saying everything to himself before he says it out loud so that he will hear how it sounds and can change it if he needs to.

Slow down. Speed in speaking, moving, gesturing and walking looks nervous and scared. Scared people get passed over, not hired or promoted. Learn to speak in a comfortable, easygoing and welcoming way. Don’t waste time, but do speak as if you have all the time in the world for those you are speaking to.

Shoot straight. Everything you say or write can be done in a simple, straightforward manner. Just do it.

Be a good storyteller. People understand you better, remember what you say longer, and find you smarter and more interesting if you use anecdotes to make your points.

Be aware of your style. Clothes don’t make the man but they do make a difference. Wear well-tailored, good quality clothes that make you look like you are in charge. But remember, it isn’t as much about your look as how you look at things and what people see when they look at you.

Admit your mistakes. If you are error-free, you’re likely effort-free.

Don’t be bullied. If you are unjustly criticized, don’t take the bait and get into an argument. Instead calmly ask: “Why do you think that?” “What do you mean?” or “What’s that based on?”

Be flexible. Be able to stand out while still fitting in with the crowd.

Be at ease with yourself and others. Look others straight in the eye, eliminate any defensiveness and take the edge off your voice. Never let them see you sweat!

Business is about taking calculated risk. it involves strategic planning and a lot of action. If you have the resources to venture as an entrepreneur, the best way to start any business is to do the following:

1. Know the business. Before venturing, you should be able to at least check the be basics of the business. Is it in need? Is it viable to a certain location? The more specific and prepared the business plan you have, the better chances of succeeding the entrepreneurial life.

2. Secure small business loan. Think big, start small. Investing in small amount for a time, to learn the ropes of the trade is wise. This is secured spending. Your initial small business financing loan is pretty much better to fire-up the venture.

3. Keep a journal. Taking a business journal of what had happened to you business from time-to-time can certainly help you recall things you may forget in the future. This nitty-gritty details somehow can help you improve your business management skills as it enables you to recall certain specific events as a benchmark.

4. Take a Step at a Time. Never rush things in business. You can get somewhere by taking an action at a time. Businessmen are risk takers, but they do make intelligent guesses. As soon as you are able to see your return of the investment (ROI), take some additional small business loans to better finance your project.

A friend called me up minutes ago to share a positive insight on the power of internet.

A couple of days back, their car was broke due to a timing belt damage. As what I know (being a former auto student for a year way back college), the timing belt harmonize the movement of the valves to perform a perfect revolution. The more efficient the revolution is performed, the better the performance of the car’s engine will be. Knowing that the timing belts service was more than 5 years now, it is just indeed timely to replace this with something new.

Upon Charlie’s search in the internet, he came across repairpal.com – an online site that provides auto repair estimates. What’s special about this online auto repair directory is its ability to provide you the information where to find the right repair shop for your needs and your budget. Their directory contains more than 200,000 affiliate branches in the US alone. I’m not sure if they have also affiliate shops in Europe or Asia.

Instead of the usual tedious walk and travel store to store to find the perfect replacement, with the auto repair estimates site, all Charlie has to do is check the model of the car, the replacement detail and his location.

ZZZZuuuppp…

In minutes, he was given tips where to buy the timing belt replacement, saving him time and effort should he opt to find a repair shop nearby.
