An old proverb states that all is fair in love and war, but what about small business? However utterly romantic it might seem, business is still business. Sure, you can apply the same passion you have for each other to the starting of a catering company, but beware of the potential pitfalls. If you enjoy each other’s constant companionship, handle stress well and balance each other in terms of business skills such as financial planning, operations management and marketing expertise, then why look to another partner and venture into small business …

What creates authentic happiness? It may not be what you think!

The Happiness Factor
Happiness is not a vague notion but can be understood as being 50% genetic; 10% based on circumstances like a new car, whether we are rich or poor, generally healthy or unhealthy; a full 40% of our sense of happiness is dependent upon our lifestyle and choices.

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming — in fact, it can be easy to get caught up in the details of the wedding and forget, at least temporarily, about the marriage that comes afterward. But you can use your wedding registry list to choose gifts and activities that you’ll both enjoy together.

Traditionally, wedding registries have allowed engaged couples to request items they’ll need for their new home and their new life together. Items like cookware, bedding, and home and garden tools appear on thousands of registry lists each year. But …

When you were a kid, all you had to do was slap glue on paper and sprinkle glitter and dried macaroni across the top and Grandma would keel over sideways with joy, only recovering to tack your creation up on the fridge.

Now that you’re a grownup, gift giving is still fun, but it’s not quite as easy as it used to be, especially when you’re trying to decide what to get for your significant other. Suddenly, you’re expected to choose a present that’s absolutely perfect. And, most difficult of all, …

You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling. Sometimes a man wakes up to find that it is gone. He’s no longer in love. Here are some main reasons why…

Business in the front. Business in the back.
If you’re in a relationship and you’re sharing any of the responsibilities of life (i.e. money, children, a home), it’s easy for your couple’s interaction to be reduced to a series of business conversations. You are business partners, there’s no changing that, but the key is being mindful of when you talk business and when you just …

When someone you care about ends a relationship, it can evoke feelings that range from disbelief to despair and everything in between. “How could this happen?” you think. “There must be something wrong with me.”

The same is true when someone with whom you’d like to explore a relationship doesn’t return the interest. “I thought I had a lot to offer—but maybe not.” When this happens—and we say “when” because it happens to nearly everyone—it’s easy to interpret the event as a painful rejection of the most personal kind. This interpretation …

Knowing when to get married can be as simple as following your own life clues. Life can naturally tell you when you’re ready to get married if you look closely enough!
1)      You’re Financially Stable: While you don’t exactly have to be …

I’m going to tell you something that’s going to save you a ton of time – especially the hours you spend dissecting a man’s behavior.

When a man doesn’t call once you’ve connected in a deeper way, there are only three possible reasons why:
1) He doesn’t know what to do with the connection you share because it’s not the right time for him
2) He doesn’t know what to do with the connection you share because he’s not mature or capable of getting any closer
3) Something was said or done that tells …

You know the type: he’s dressed to the nines, has the perfect hair, and emanates just the right amount of designer cologne. At a club or party, he’s been eyeing you from a distance until he finally sidles up beside you and delivers his well-practiced pick-up line.
