Business & Career Success: Know Your Ruling Star!

Written by James Clayton Napier


Continued from page 1

“But where, where, where is THAT PLACE?” I wondered.

In Texas, for every 100% plus I gave in my career,repparttar returns (feeling valued, appreciated, and being monetarily rewarded), always fell short.

I hosted a noon talk show for awhile at an Austin TV station. Our ratings were great. The guests I booked were top names inrepparttar 104122 literary, entertainment, self-improvement, and political arenas.

After our ratings came in one spring, I couldn’t believe how wellrepparttar 104123 show was doing.

Several days later, however,repparttar 104124 General Manager wanted to see me.

After allrepparttar 104125 years of my show’s success, he said, “James, I can’t complain about your ratings. That’s good for ad revenue, but I finally got a chance to see your show yesterday. As you know I only have a tenth grade education, never finished high school, started in sales, worked my way up to where I am today.” He beamed proudly, “I didn’t understand it.”

I knew when he said, “I didn’t understand it,” my show was doomed. The GM wasrepparttar 104126 standard by which all business decisions at our stations were made.

I wanted to call him, “Idiot,” but restrained myself.

My favorite line in Texas TV came from a female news director who told me, “You have a master’s degree. We don’t need people that smart to dorepparttar 104127 news.” I never worked at that station.

“Let each man know his luck as well as his talents. Follow your guiding star and help it without mistaking any other for it. Know how to transplant yourself,” Gracian reminds us.

Know how to transplant yourself!

Finally, I did transplant myself, once again. It was time to move fromrepparttar 104128 newsroom and go into teaching; use, finally, that masters degree referred to earlier that wasn’t needed to reportrepparttar 104129 news.

“There is a simple answer torepparttar 104130 question ‘What isrepparttar 104131 purpose of our individual lives?” A.J. Ayer wrote. “They have whatever purpose we succeed in putting into them.”

Yet, if you believe you are being guided by and toward a higher destiny, as I do, use what others know (their gifts and resources) to inform and enlighten yourself.

I’ve also successfully used relocation astrology as an essential tool to follow my guiding star. Through my sessions with Cait Benten,who specializes in relocation astrology, I’m close, very close at last, to findingrepparttar 104132 balance ofrepparttar 104133 “right place” andrepparttar 104134 “right work” combined.

“This time, like all other times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.” --Ralph Waldo Emerson http://www.astro-earth-relocation.com/james%20by%20phone.htm http://www.astro-earth-relocation.com
