Habits of prosperityWritten by Janet Ilacqua
Continued from page 1
•Take regular, light exercise as part of your reflection periods. •Spend a few minutes every week reading books on higher meaning of life; not “how-to” books, but books about leading a purposeful life and that talk about purpose of life itself. •On a regular basis, take time to learn something practical from a master in a trade … even if it is not something related to or of application in your work. •On a regular basis, take time to do things for more needy people around us … not by sitting on charity boards or other similar business-related things, but by physically going out and volunteering in community.If you practice these habits diligently, you should not only feel and think better, but you have energy and creativity needed for success in business world.

Continued from page 1
Never talk badly about anybody … even more so when they are not present. Carefully consider where and with whom you work. Avoid environments where people are not passionate about work they are doing. Try to work in environments that are respectful and supportive. If you are seeking work in an office environment, look at cubicle decorations. Sparse cubicle decorations often indicate that people are not intending to stay long. Do not be afraid to walk away from jobs where you have to compromise your ethics and principles, and do not be afraid to tell proper authorities if there are illegal dealings. Remember that a company that is treating its customers unethically is planting bad seeds and will eventually have financial problems. Become intuitive. Be open to, but also discerning of, possible new vendors, partners, and customers. Trust your instincts and perform background checks. Learn to listen to currents of success. Know when it is time to follow current and when to change your direction or take some time off. The road to success is not a straight path, but a meandering one with many side paths and detours.
