It has been said that there is a fine line between success and failure. When talking about success, I’m not just talking about the so called rich and famous, but about people in all walks of life who have managed to find purpose and meaning in the work that they do. While there is no one recipe that leads to success and work satisfaction, there are qualities that all successful people seem to have an abundance of, and one of those is motivation.When you think about the word ‘motivation’, what comes to mind? For me, it’s anything that creates desire, and motivates someone to take action, whether it be the desire to own your own business, be the best in some sports competition or maybe attracting that special someone. If one were to ask you to name several highly motivated individuals, who would you name? While your list is likely to be much different from mine or anyone else’s, one trait that they all share is a passion for what they do that provides all the motivation they require.What do you love to do? I mean what really gives you a charge, something that you have a passion for? One of my pleasures is playing guitar. When I sit down and proceed to make music, I become so enmeshed in the process that I tend to forget about time and my surroundings. When you have a passion for something, it’s easy to be motivated. But what about the day to day things that we all must do, such as working at a job that doesn’t always provide a lot of inspiration other than paying the bills. Are there things that we can do to help us create a greater sense of work satisfaction while experiencing an increase in motivation? One of the things that successful people do is they are able to look beyond the tasks that they perform, and are motivated to find or create meaning and purpose in the work that they do. When I was younger, I worked my share of tedious jobs such as landscaping, driving, factory work, etc. In the beginning, I found myself becoming bored quickly, and would leave a job as soon as I became tired of it. It wasn’t until I discovered ways to make a job more interesting that I actually was able to enjoy them. For instance, I once worked for a medical lab, running routes and picking up specimens from Dialysis units. Going in and out of the units, I would see people with all sorts of health problems, in many cases people who are often at the last stage of their life. After a while, I started having conversations with some of the patients, and I found that I looked forward to seeing my regulars. I came to realize that they looked forward to our brief moments together as much as I did, and knowing that I was bringing just a slight bit of joy into their days gave me a sense of satisfaction and purpose that transcended the job that I performed. What about you? Is there some aspect of your job that you could use to create a greater sense of purpose and thus satisfaction? Are there things that you could do to make yourself more productive? If you get in the habit of looking for ways to improve things around you, you will not only experience greater work satisfaction, but you’ll be looked upon as a positive, motivated individual that is an asset to any business or organization.When it comes to motivation, some will say that you either have it or you don’t. While it’s not always easy to feel motivated about many things in our life, the reality is that there are things that we can do to help create motivation. One of the most important things that we can do is just changing out attitude. Look for greater meaning or purpose in whatever it is that you are doing. As an unknown writer once said, “motivation comes from within”. What motivates you?

Everything is a matter of self control, being organize and knowing how to use your budget wisely. Putting these things into practice can make your debit free. It is significant to keep track of your debts and contact all your creditors so that they would be aware that you want to settle your account as soon as possible.

This is the negative side of equity loans though.

Most loans requires your real estate as collateral and if you fail to make a payment you’ll be in risk of losing your home. Another way to arrange your debts is to make large monthly payments on your credit cards. This is because if you pay less, larger amount of interest will be place.

John McCormack, in his excellent book “Self-Made in America” suggests that if you are investing less than 25% of your income then you aren’t serious about becoming wealthy. But how do you afford to do this without suffering? The answer is here.

You can do this by eliminating waste and impulse spending from your spending habits. Studies have shown that the average American blows around 25% of their income in these two totally unnecessary areas; waste spend and impulse spending. Let’s see what these two types of unnecessary spending are and how to eliminate them.

First I will define waste spending. There are two main types of waste. Firstly waste is when you spend more money than you need to in order to get the result that you want. Secondly waste is when you buy more than you need in order to get the result that you want.

Here are two examples around food.

An example of Type 1 Waste would be buying a sandwich for lunch for $5 when you could have made the same sandwich at home, and brought it with you, for only 50 cents. You are paying ten times the true value of that sandwich by buying it ready made. You probably also spent more time standing in line to be served than the time you would have required to make the sandwich at home.

An example of Type 2 Waste is when you buy more food than you need and then have to throw it away. Because you couldn’t be bothered taking the time to calculate the amount that you really needed you overspent on your food bill.

The facts are that more Americans are regularly guilty of both type 1 and type 2 waste on a regular basis, and not just with food. Americans tend to buy without asking for discounts and they over buy in all areas of their life. I have singled out Americans here but these poor spending habits are not just the province of Americans they are true for all affluent societies.

Now let’s define impulse spending. Impulse spending is when you buy something that you had no intention of buying until you saw it by chance. It is no coincidence that supermarkets put chocolate bars and magazines next to the checkouts. They are there because the supermarket is well aware of the profit potential for them from impulse spending.

Impulse spending does not enhance your lifestyle. You are simply buying something just because you saw it and quite often you don’t even really want nor need these items. I was amazed to discover that most books purchased are never read. In fact the statistics are that 80% of books purchased are never even started and half of those that are started are never finished, People buy books on impulse, usually because they are attracted to the title and the cover design.

The main areas of impulse spending are sweets and magazines and anything that is “on sale”. People also tend to impulse spend in their areas of interest or hobbies. Young women will impulse spend on clothes, shoes and makeup. Musicians will impulse spend in the music shop, and so on.

If you can eliminate waste spending and impulse spending then, if you are like the typical American, you will free up around 25% of your income that you can put to investing. But how do you cure yourself of these costly habits? You can do this easily by developing two new habits.

New Habit Number 1:

The self-made rich decide in advance where and how they are going to spend their money. The average person spends their money randomly as the urge seizes them. Deciding where you money is going to go, while you are still at home, eliminates impulse spending. Making a conscious decision as to the value you will receive for each dollar spent will help eliminate waste spending.

Develop the habit of deciding, on pay day, where your money is going to go, write this down and then read over it and ask yourself if any of that planned expenditure is in the waste spending category.

When you are going shopping take a list and stick to the list. This will help remove the impulse spending habit. Developing the habit of deciding in advance where your money will go is a great way to ensure that you still maintain your quality of life in the present, but you free up money for investing so that you can become rich and enjoy a much greater quality of life in the future,

New Habit Number 2:

The self made rich have the habit of writing down every cent that they spend, as they spend it, so that they are fully aware of where their money is going. The average person is surprised when their money runs out because they were not fully aware of how much they where spending. As a result, bad money managers find that they have too much month at the end of the money whereas good money managers find that they have too much money at the end of the month.

Develop the habit of recording your expenditure as you spend it. Become fully aware of where your money is going and always ask yourself if this particular transaction is going to truly enhance your life or not. If the answer is no then don’t go through with that transaction.

Developing these two simple habits will free up a surprising amount of money for you to put to investing. So how should you invest that money in order to maximize your profits? Unfortunately this article is long enough already so that secret will have to be revealed on another day.

As of late, institutions of higher education and other groups conducted surveys and studies to find out “What is it that brings happiness to people?” The following steps are some of the results.Step #1: Doing good. The universal law says that there’s absolutely no joy found in doing wrong. Those who do wrong, or live the untruth, experience anxiety, stress, dispair, resentment, suspicion, lack of confidence, fear and pessimism. Breaking a universal law empowers others to be in command of your life, like a judge, jailer or warden, etc. Doing good is the initial step in becoming a happy person.Step #2: Control. People report that they are happiest if they’re in control of their own lives. Self-control and being in command of one’s destiny produces immense amounts of freedom and feelings of security. Those who possess a powerful mental self and the ability to control their physical self are happiest.Step #3: Be Optimistic. Optimistic people always expect the best. They have hope for the future and dwell on the positive in life. They make use of the positive side of their subconscious mind by conciously thinking optimistic thoughts. Consider that your mind is like a stage and you always have control over the players on that stage. You can choose to think the positive or negative; it is your choice.Step #4: Belief in a higher power. Researchers discovered that people who have faith in a higher power are happier than people who don’t. A good number of individuals who recover from a serious drug or alcohol addiction report the need of a higher power than themselves. Having faith in the unknown can be a satisfying experience.Step #5: Close relationships. The most powerful force in life is love. To give love and receive love is the highest human experience. The amount of happiness in our life depends on the amount of love we have in our life. The power of love can be seen by simply observing those who don’t receive enough love- it’s terribly damaging to a person to be rejected, lonely and unloved. Step #6: Meaningful activity. The happiest people in life have something to look forward to either in their work, hobbies or other activities they participate in. Those who don’t look forward to going to work, don’t have a job, or other meaningful activity often experience unhappiness.Step #7: Service. Researchers discovered that one key activity common in happy individuals was helping others. Helping other people provided them with immense happiness and satisfaction. Life is a mirror and people who give, receive. What is it that people receive when they help others? It’s an interesting question to ponder.Step #8: Forgiveness. Successful, happy people learn to forgive not only others, but themselves as well. They understand that to err is human-that life is full of trials that help us grow and develop. They recognize that others are human too and they treat others how they would like to be treated. Unsuccessful, unhappy people do the opposite.The very first step that unhappy people must take to find permanent happiness is to become self-aware. Self-awareness via cognitive restructuring is effective therapy for self inflicted problems. The point is that if people aren’t happy it is their own fault. Nobody can make them happy except themselves.

Most of the reputed companies are laying emphasis on quality and managing costs with the improvement of processes kept as an underlying foundation. “Six sigma” is becoming very prominent because of its application in a business environment. All these factors have created a greater demand for six sigma professionals. Six sigma career opportunities are on the rise within the organization and outside the organization. It is especially beneficial for people who have excelled in their previous jobs, brilliant people are finding fulfilling and new career due to the six sigma methodology adopted by companies. To become a part of the six sigma implementation, the person should have great experience in various managerial positions and at least mastering one of them.

Growth opportunities within the organization:

Career enhancement is possible within the organization by getting a black belt or a green belt in six sigma methodology with an appropriate training in it. Companies which have decided to implement six sigma often hire a professional as a consultant initially although they will not be making any decisions in the strategy planning. Upper management normally would like to give opportunities to its existing employees beginning with a green belt at the execution level, a black belt professional for problem solving level and a master black belt at the uppermost position.

Opportunities outside the organization:

Job search portals will give a better idea of the need of six sigma professionals who are either fresh or experienced professionals with a black belt. Black belt professionals are higher in demand than the green belt professions due to their problem solving capabilities with solid experience.

Requisites and aptitude to become a six sigma professional:

Both the green belt and black belt candidates should have an open mind and strong analytical capabilities. They should be in a position to question everything with a view to make core contribution to the organization. Above all, high level of motivation and self confidence is very important and necessary. Black belt professionals have to focus on analytical and problem solving aspect while dedicating all their time in the process of implementing it. Green belts have to focus on routine responsibilities and may not be able to dedicate all the time. They are expected to be studious, flexible enough, understand statistical tools and have good interpersonal skills.

Six sigma training:

Six sigma training methodology is not standardized and are not universal. Hence organizations should research and recognize the right institute for training professionals. Many corporations have their own training facilities and are provided to people who will be working for them for quite sometime.
