Billie Sucher and I have coauthored a new career success book, Success Tweets for Finding a Job and Excelling in It.  We’re proud of it.  You can get your copy on Amazon.com.  It’s another of my writings on the topic of life and career success.  I think it is a great companion piece to Success Tweets.
Billie is really creative; that’s why I enjoyed working with her on Success Tweets for Finding a Job and Excelling in It.  Over the holidays, she did a talk on hope – one of my favorite subjects.  I’m an eternal …

I’ve just returned home after spending about eight days in New York City.  Last Thursday I had dinner at my favorite restaurant in the city, Café Loup.  If your French is a little rusty, “Loup” means “Wolf.”  The Café Loup website has the “Wolf Credo,” which I think contains some great life and career success advice.  Check it out…

“Surround yourself with positive people.  Hold them close.  They will give you energy and help you create the career success you deserve.” 
Tweet 50 says…
“Jettison the negative people in your life.  They are energy black holes.  They will suck you dry; but only if you let them.”

On Monday, I tweeted this bit of career advice.  “When fear knocks on your door, answer.  You’ll probably find that you are the only one there.”

I love the acronym for fear.
F    False
E    Evidence
A    Appearing
R    Real
All too often fear stops us dead in our tracks.  We quit on ourselves.  We don’t take advantage of opportunities to create the life and career success we deserve because of fear.  Usually it’s a fear of failure or a fear of …
