Ask The Expert:

Some of the topics you can comment on this week are;

1. Our new temp keeps to himself and doesn’t talk much and a lot of people think he’s a snob, and they want someone different to be brought in. He’s a great worker and seems like a decent guy so I’m reluctant to let him go. How can I get him to try to open up more AND get my regular team members to be a little more tolerant?
http://www.collegerecruiter.com/ask-the-experts/general/is-he-shy-or-just-a-snob/index.php

2. I learned that I’m pregnant and got my dream job on the same day. Now I’m afraid that if I tell my new boss about my pregnancy he’ll take back the job offer. When’s the best time to let him know?

About WOE Enterprise

A few years ago my life hit rock bottom. I looked into the bible and I saw the word woe. I also wanted to see how the dictionary defined woe. Woe meant trials or tribulations. In life a woe to you might be a job loss and to another it might be a broken relationship.

One day I was thinking how I could reinvent my life so I wrote down the word woe on a piece of paper. As the document spoke to me it revealed that woe now meant WOE as in Word of Encouragement. From there I received this slogan.

“Before you leave work or go to sleep tonight, give someone a WOE, a Word Of Encouragement.”

Devastating Diagnosis?

What would you DO if Life handed YOU a Devastating Diagnosis?
Local Author pens book motivated by personal story

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, (May 8, 2009)

NEW YORK,NY –Author L.J. Holloway to appear on Tough Talk too with Dr. Dale Anthony on WTHE 1520 on the AM Dial today at 10:30 or listen on the WEB at www.WTHE1520AM.com
What to Do When Life Hands You a Devastating Diagnosis (Do’s, Don’ts & Some Uncanny Observations) gives readers’ real-life advice on what to do and what not to do when a life changing medical diagnoses is suddenly thrust upon you or a loved one.

A self-described Health CARE Advocate, L.J. Holloway says she wrote “What to Do When Life Hands You a Devastating Diagnosis (Do’s, Don’ts & Some Uncanny Observations) because she “thought it was important for families and physicians alike to know that the psychological effects of a Diagnosis are more damning than the daunting of the physical. Moreover, Holloway wanted patients to know that they were empowered.”

LJ’s Tips
• DO independent research and ask pointed questions about your Diagnosis
• Don’t be a spectator, partner with your Physician, YOU know your body best
• DO solicit someone to serve as a Health Care Advocate (it’s hard to focus in a fight)
• Don’t discount your HEALTH invest in a Health Savings Account and/or a PPO
• Uncanny Observation: Life happens, so continue to LIVE despite the diagnosis!

U.S. Congresswoman Carrie P. Meek (RET.) and former Board member of the Lupus Foundation of America remarked – “LJ Holloway plows through trauma and Health Care drama with sincere messages of advice, wisdom and humor. It’s a MUST read for everyone.”

LJ Holloway is participating in Jacksonville ‘s Art Walk in front of the Booktique inside the Jacksonville Public Library tomorrow from 5pm to 9pm.

For more information on LJ Holloway and What to Do When Life Hands You a Devastating Diagnosis, visit www.LJHolloway.info

*Note: All proceeds from the sale of the audio book will be donated to a non-profit that awards 3 Scholarships to local students who major in health or medical sciences at institutions where those disciplines are under-represented.

The WORD (Wisdom-Others-Resources-Development)

Monday May 4th, 2009 Issue # 61

In 2008 my first national article was published in Next Step Magazine and one of the readers was Marshay Calloway. Ms. Calloway is now a High School Junior and has been accepted to attend Stanford University’s High School Summer College. Summer College is from June 20 – August 16, 2009.

Marshay Calloway needs assistance to help her dreams come true. Help her if you can by copying and pasting her story and sending to others that can. Here is her story in her own words.

I want to graduate with at least a 4.0 or higher and go to Yale or Stanford. I wish to major in Developmental Psychology with emphasis in cognitive science. After about five or six years working as a Doctor of Psychology, I want to take my experience and go into the forensics and eventually become a Forensic Scientist. Also, I would like to minor in journalism with the option of creative writing. I need $7,200 so that I can enroll in the Stanford high school college program. I received a $3,000 scholarship from Stanford University, however it is only a partial scholarship and I cannot afford the remaining amount. The total cost of attendance is $10,200. If you can help in anyway, please let me know. I can be contacted via email or telephone. (760) 552-0154 cell or email marshaycalloway@yahoo.com. Thanks in advance and your consideration is appreciated.

L.J. Holloway sent me a copy of her Audio Book entitled “What to Do when Life hands you a Devastating Diagnosis.” The proceeds from this testimony triumph benefit an Annual Scholarship awarded to (3) students at the Celebration of Life benefit Concert. You can book L.J. Holloway to speak or order your copy of this sister’s soul stirring story by going to http://www.ljholloway.info/.

Skylr Monaghan of https://webmailcluster.perfora.net/xml/deref?link=http%3A%2F%2FDiggerDaily.com sent me an article called “What Do You Like To Do Most In Life?” that you can read on my blog at http://www.businessincollege.com/.

I’m writing a guest blog for www.thetoiletpaperentrepreneur.com and my question is if you had to encourage a college entrepreneur with one word what would it be and why?

If you had to choose one word that would best describe you what would it be and why?

If you can narrow any of these questions down to one word you have just participated in a life focus exercise. The word focus backwards is sucof. It doesn’t look right and if you say it, definitely won’t sound right. Now think about how your life looks and how your life sounds when you have no focus.

WISDOM: Sponsored by www.Twitter.com/Encouragement4u Want to sponsor?

No man is perfect. Many times I have seen women try to change their man with negative results. Men, are you in a relationship that is worth saving? If the answer is yes, Love her enough to quit. If she wants you to stop smoking, Love her enough to quit. If she needs you to stop cheating, Love her enough to quit. If you are abusing her verbally, Love her enough to quit.

Ask your mother, wife, lady or girlfriend this one question. Is there anything about my life that I can change to better our relationship? If what they say makes sense and will make you a better man, Love her enough to quit.

Mike Michalowicz www.thetoiletpaperentrepreneur.com

Mike Michalowicz started his first business at the age of 24, moving his young family to the only safe place he could afford – a retirement village. With limited resources and no experience, he systematically bootstrapped a multi-million dollar technology business, sleeping in conference rooms to avoid hotel costs. After selling his first company, Mike launched a new business the very next day, and in less than three years, sold it to a Fortune 500. With his newest multi-million dollar venture, Obsidian Launch, he fosters startup businesses with his “get rich right” approach.

A graduate of Inc. & MIT’s “Birthing of Giants” Entrepreneurial Program, Mike has received multiple entrepreneurship awards, including the SBA’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year. He is a recurring guest on CNBC’s The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, ABC News, and other television programs. He has been featured on National Public Radio (NPR), and in the New York Times, Smart CEO Magazine, and other publications.

Mike is a frequent guest lecturer for entrepreneurial groups and professional business groups throughout the world. Mike is also a reoccurring guest lecturer for entrepreneurial programs at Babson, Boston College, Columbia, Harvard, Penn State, Princeton and other colleges throughout the country.

About WOE Enterprise – http://www.WOEEnterprises.com

A few years ago my life hit rock bottom. I looked into the bible and I saw the word woe. I also wanted to see how the dictionary defined woe. Woe meant trials or tribulations. In life a woe to you might be a job loss and to another it might be a broken relationship.

One day I was thinking how I could reinvent my life so I wrote down the word woe on a piece of paper.

As the document spoke to me it revealed that woe now meant WOE as in Word of Encouragement. From there I received this slogan.

“Before you leave work or go to sleep tonight, give someone a WOE, a Word Of Encouragement.”
