Take It Up A Notch

When you can, take it up a notch. Put in some work but do it in high gear. Give your passion some extra time; go a little longer, a little harder, a little deeper. Putting the necessary work into the things you love is a must, but the next level needs some extra elbow grease from time to time: another day out of the week, another hour out of the day, another minute out of the hour. That extra, when called upon, reminds you and everyone watching that you are still grinding. Be an example of what the grind looks like. Keep working on what it is you do, have, or want, and take it up a notch. What you do and how you do it matters. It should matter to you that you are persistent. It should matter to you that you always do your best. It should matter to you, that no matter what anyone else says, you are working on something important to you, it is in progress and by putting your best effort into everything you do and going hard for what you want, you and your dream should not be taken lightly. There is always work to be done and a little goes a long way, but there is magic found in the second gear; take things up a notch. Progress is progress; it moves you forward whether you stumble, crawl, or walk, but every once in a while, do not be afraid to take off running. ~For more positive posts stop by fb.me/TheAnswerKey & tweet me @_TheAnswerKey daily!

Job Seeker: Tips and Tricks to Getting the Call

I know how difficult it is to be on the hunt for a job. You have to practically sleep with the boss-to-be just to get an interview in this economy. Well, if you have more integrity than showing a little boob to your potential employer, here are a few tips to help you stand out from the rest of the pack. So you're in the trenches of job-hunters and your phone just won't ring. How do you get noticed amongst the hundreds of other applicants? Well, you must understand the plight of your potential employer. With so many people unemployed these days, they are literally looking for a needle in a haystack. While the stack of applications flood their desks, acknowledge that you are hardly anything more than another name on a piece of paper. Most employers have the same view of applications- they're pretty much photocopies of each other, but the papers that accompany that application can make all the difference between having a job and still waiting on one. Let's talk about t...

Getting from MS. to MRS.

Usually I post about things that cater to no particular gender, however, this one right here is for the ladies. Fellas, I have not forgotten about you, and will definitely have little something for you at a later date. ;) Now, let's get down to business. First things first, you need to understand the most typical reasons why men usually will not commit in the first place. These reasons have nothing to do with you. These are issues that would be there no matter who he was dating. Simply put, most of them are waiting on the 'bigger, better, deal'- a fatter booty, a cuter face, slimmer waist, good hair, etc. What they don't realize is that waiting on the next best thing turns into anything with a pulse really fast. It will seem as if it happened overnight and then all of a sudden they became 'that dude'. We've all seen him- either at the club or in the grocery store, you can spot 'that dude' from a mile away- middle-aged, probably balding or practical...

Life is too short for 10 rules so here's 5. Good Luck, and Happy Dating! 1. Know what you want, and mean it. When you don’t know what you want, you just might begin trying any and every option that comes your way. That is a waste of time and a road map to Dramatown, Crazytown, or Beatdown-town. You get the picture. Choose wisely. There's nothing wrong with being selective as long as you remain realistic. 2. Have a conversation. No texting or emailing, but a real verbal interaction. You can tell a lot about a person’s personality and your compatibility just in their tone, their laughter, attentiveness, and the flow. After two conversations you should definitely know if you want to see this person or not. 3. If you list them, they will come… seriously, the list is critical. It forces you to really determine what you ar...
