Po Bronson
I was browsing in a bookshop when I noticed ‘What should I do with my life?’ by Po Bronson. Po faced the challenges we all face and, in confronting these, he went out and found people who also had similar issues but had decided to do something about it. It’s a compilation of stories about ordinary people, just like you and me, some succeeding, some not, but all of them trying to change the course of their lives. Read the introduction to the book on the website. From memory it cost around A$23 and you just might derive some inspiration.

Brian Tracy
Brian Tracy is an acknowledged guru. I came across ‘The Psychology of Achievement’ in the late 80s. The main lesson for me was that what I do in my life is my own responsibility. If you can accept this basic tenet, then you’ve taken the first step to changing your life. There is a ton of common sense in Brian’s teaching, most of which we need to hear every now and again. The 6-CD set of 'The Psychology of Achievement' is a great investment.

businessballs.com
A great name and one of the more remarkable sites I've ever come across. Described by the author, Alan Chapman, as 'Free career help, business training, organisational development - inspirational, innovative ideas, materials, exercises, tools, templates - free and fun'. I couldn't express it better. Take a few hours to explore and I'm sure you'll derive plenty of benefit.

Interview Tips That Work.com
There are many websites which deal specifically with interview skills but none, in my opinion, are better than this one. It's as comprehensive as any website could be and it's written in a friendly, easy-to-read style by someone (Michael) who obviously knows what he is talking about. Highly recommended and should stand you in good stead for any kind of interview.

Get a Life: Life Coach Magazine
Life coaching has become very much in vogue in recent years, and why not? Coaches in other fields are there for a reason - to improve performance. Nobody ever gives us a guidebook to navigate our way through our lives and, though it's not necessarily all about performance, I can easily see the need for help in making the right decisions. Turning to a life coach without proper research can be costly, so this website is an essential starting point, in my opinion, for learning more about life coaches and what they do. It's extremely comprehensive on all the important issues, and it's free. You might even become a life coach yourself.

High-paying jobs without a degree - a lesson
I mention this site, not because it links back to my own site, but because it holds a very important lesson. We tend to concentrate on unemployment figures, but a rate of 5-10% obscures the fact that 90-95% of the workforce is actually employed, which suggests a very active economy. In any economy, there is continuous change, and one lesson that Grace Johnston made me aware of, and which the author of this site (Eddie Bautista) reinforces, is that you should always look for the sectors where there are going to be shortages. Once you’ve identified a sector, it’s then up to you to equip yourself with the skills and knowledge to make yourself employable. I admire Eddie for what he’s achieved, and for sharing his experience so that others can benefit.

JobGet.Net
The reason why I exchanged links with this website is because it's well put together and very professional. Though it's new, it has excellent potential. There are links to useful articles and other sites, and once the forum gets going people will be able to share information and ideas, all of which is very helpful in deciding our new career direction.

Personality Profiling
We all have a personality but not many of us can actually define it except in a few words. During my career in executive recruitment, I became aware of several different tools in the market for assessing personality which helped me to place the right candidates in the right roles. For instance, a sales person has to have the right personality to be effective. If a sales executive is not performing well, then it might just be that he/she is not actually suited to that type of role. A simple test can prove this. Of course, our personality is important in many different circumstances, not just our work. One of the more well known tests is the Myers-Briggs Indicator, so if you don't fully understand your own personality and want to understand yourself better, then this site is a good starting point.

Home Business Advisor
Many people around the world have successfully built home-based businesses using the Internet. According to Luis Castillo, the owner of this website, eight out of ten people who attempt to build such businesses don't succeed. Achieving financial security does not happen overnight, but if you have an idea which you think might be viable, then this website is a great starting point for turning that idea into reality. It's important to note that you don't have to be an expert in computers to develop an Internet-based business, and if you're prepared to invest several hours in reading the vast amount of information provided by Luis, then you might gain the confidence to give it a go. As Luis remarks, 'Whoever controls your income controls your future'. You too can have control over your future.
