here are three easy steps to getting noticed in today’s digitally dominatedjob market—network, network, network. Here’s how:T

t’s a given that curious babies put everything they touch in their mouths.And today, there’s a growing threat to your little ones from small,round button-cell (lithium) batteries found in common household

items. These batteries power remote controls and musicalgreeting cards, and are also found in children’s products such asvibrating teethers and books with sound effects.

Although these small batteries are a choking hazard, they present a much greaterdanger if ingested. The batteries produce a chemical reaction with the moist lining of thechild’s gastrointestinal tract, and can result in serious burns and injuries, or even death.

Child safety groups are working to make parents and caregivers aware of thisthreat, emphasizing the importance of keeping batteries out of the reach of children.Consumer protection groups are petitioning manufacturers to make batterycompartments more secure, and to put warning labels on product packaging.

At home, store these batteries in a secure place and do not to dispose of them in atrash can where a curious child could retrieve them. Seek immediate medicaltreatment for a child if you know (or even suspect) that a battery has beenswallowed – lasting damage can occur within a few short hours.

Top 10 Traits of Highly Successful People We have all read about people who are successful briefly. They win a gold medal, make a fortune, or star in one great movie and then disappear.…These

examples do not inspire me!

My focus and fascination is with people who seem to do well in many areas of life, and do it over and over through a lifetime. In entertainment, I think of Paul Newman and Bill Cosby. In business, I think of Ben and Jerry (the ice cream moguls)…As a Naval Officer, husband, businessman, politician and now as a mediator and philanthropist on the world stage, Jimmy Carter has had a remarkable life. We all know examples of people who go from one success to another.

These are the people who inspire me! I've studied them, and I've noticed they have the following traits in common:

1. They work hard! Yes, they play hard, too! They get up early, they rarely complain, they expect performance from others, but they expect extraordinary performance from themselves. Repeated, high-level success starts with a recognition that hard work pays off.

2. They are incredibly curious and eager to learn. They study, ask questions and read—constantly! An interesting point, however: While most of them did well in school, the difference is that they apply or take advantage of what they learn. Repeated success is not about memorizing facts, it's about being able to take information and create, build, or apply it in new and important ways. Successful people want to learn everything about everything!

3. They network. They know lots of people, and they know lots of different kinds of people. They listen to friends, neighbors, co- workers and bartenders. They don't have to be "the life of the party," in fact many are quiet, even shy, but they value people and they value relationships. Successful people have a Rolodex full of people who value their friendship and return their calls.

4. They work on themselves and never quit! While the "over-night wonders" become arrogant and quickly disappear, really successful people work on their personality, their leadership skills, management skills, and every other detail of life. When a relationship or business deal goes sour, they assume they can learn from it and they expect to do better next time. Successful people don't tolerate flaws; they fix them!

5. They are extraordinarily creative. They go around asking, "Why not?" They see new combinations, new possibilities, new opportunities and challenges where others see problems or limitations. They wake up in the middle of the night yelling, "I've got it!" They ask for advice, try things out, consult experts and amateurs, always looking for a better, faster, cheaper solution. Successful people create stuff!

6. They are self-reliant and take responsibility. Incredibly successful people don't worry about blame, and they don't waste time complaining. They make decisions and move on.Extremely successful people take the initiative and accept the responsibilities of success.

7. They are usually relaxed and keep their perspective. Even in times of stress or turmoil, highly successful people keep their balance; they know the value of timing, humor, and patience. They rarely panic or make decisions on impulse. Unusually successful people breath easily, asks the right questions, and makes sound decisions, even in a crisis.

8. Extremely successful people live in the present moment. They know that "Now" is the only time they can control. They have a "gift" for looking people in the eye, listening to what is being said, enjoying a meal or fine wine, music or playing with a child. They never seem rushed, and they get a lot done! They take full advantage of each day. Successful people don't waste time, they use it!

9. They "look over the horizon" to see the future. They observe trends, notice changes, see shifts, and hear the nuances that others miss. A basketball player wearing Nikes is trivial, the neighbor kid wearing them is interesting, and your own teenager demanding them is an investment opportunity! Extremely successful people live in the present, with one eye on the future!

10. Repeatedly successful people respond instantly! When an investment isn't working out, they sell. When they see an opportunity, they make the call. If an important relationship is cooling down, they take time to renew it. When technology or a new competitor or a change in the economic situation requires an adjustment, they are the first and quickest to respond.

These traits work together in combination, giving repeatedly successful people a huge advantage. Because they are insatiable learners, they can respond wisely to change. Because their personal relationships are strong, they have good advisors and a reserve of goodwill when things go bad. And finally, none of these traits are genetic! They can be learned! They are free and they are skills you can use. Start now!

o you have too much stuff? If your closets are stuffed to the gills, and youhaven’t been able to park your car in the garage for three years now, it’s safeto say you do. If you’re tired of the constant clutter, why not sell your junk

and fatten your wallet! Here’s how:

Yard sale. Community yard sales pull in more shoppers than an individual sale.Clean everything before the sale, and set prices reasonably low. Engage in aconversation with shoppers to increase the possibility that they’ll buy something.

Sell it online. Try listing an item on eBay.com if it’s a collectible or a brand nameand easy to ship. eBay charges a transaction fee, but it's an easy way to unloaditems you no longer need. Another online option is Craigslist.org,which doesn’t charge a fee.

Consign it. A consignment shop will sell your stuff for aportion of the profits, usually 50 percent or so. However,they will only accept items they deem saleable.

Give it away. Donating your stuff to a charity creates cash inthe form of a tax write-off, and you can feel good abouthelping your fellow man in the process.

DTurn Clutter into Cash
