There is power behind a great smile. Not a lot of entrepreneurs and business professionals are aware of the opportunity to harness this power to sell. A genuine smile gives you sales power and influence. Have you noticed when you watch TV ads and even promotions on YouTube how the actors always have great teeth? That’s because a great smile can draw people in so they’re more likely to listen to the message and act on it.

(TMU) — While vacationing in Bali, a family from Queensland, Australia learned the hard way to never trust a monkey. The family of five was wandering through Monkey Forest in Ubud, Bali, when a monkey joined in on the group selfie and flipped its middle finger at the lens. The laughable event has since gone viral.
According to the Daily Mail, parents Judy and Simon—along with their three kids—spent one of their vacation days exploring Monkey Forest. While strolling through the popular tourist destination, they asked a local guide to take some photos. Only later did they realize a monkey had flipped off the camera while the photos were being taken.

Judy recalled that, as the family looked at the photograph, they all burst out laughing. “We were only in Bali for a week and thought it would be fun to go on a day tour around Bali,” she said.
“As part of the tour, we went to the monkey forest. I thought it would be a fun experience. While we were there, a guide offered to take our photo. But as he did, a monkey suddenly came in front of the camera.”

“The guide had peanuts in his hand and then began feeding him. It was really funny. As I was flicking through the photos afterwards, I noticed that in one of them the monkey was actually giving us the finger.
I showed my husband and we both started laughing. We thought it was hilarious. The monkey definitely had a cheeky persona going on. We had such a great time there and these funny photos made it even better.”

Though the priceless snap was captured in December of 2018, the cheeky photo was only recently shared online.
“I posted the photo to my Facebook and Instagram and all my family and friends thought it was hilarious. The experience was one of the highlights of our trip, and the photo itself is something we can look back on to remember forever.”
Judy said the image was one of the highlights of the entire trip and she hopes to return to Bali with her family soon.
“Bali is such a beautiful place and we can’t wait to go back one day.”

Kick off the summer with this Grilled Sausage & Apple Pizza with Goat Cheese that combines your favorite sweet and savory flavors into one delicious meal!
This post is sponsored by Aidells Sausage Company, Inc. All comments and opinions are my own.
Summer is my absolute favorite time of the year which means it’s officially GRILLING season! Our grill is always in constant use during the spring/summer months because it’s just so easy to use with little clean-up and I don’t know about you, but everything just tastes so much better coming off of the grill! Not only can you grill chicken, fish, steak, kabobs, I mean you name it, but guys, grilling pizza might just be the best thing you do all season.
One of my favorite things to do in the summer is host events in our backyard and since building our home last year, having friends and family over has been the best part of our move! If you follow me on Instagram then you know how I love to throw a good party and with that comes making delicious food! Grilling is essential for an outdoor gathering and it’s nice to mix things up sometimes. Instead of serving up the usual summer favorites, having your guests make their own personal pizzas can be way more fun!
When deciding on pizza toppings I am ALL about flavor combinations which is why I knew I needed Aidells® Dinner Sausage on my pizza. I’ve been a huge fan of Aidells sausage links for quite a while now not only because they are crafted in small batches using the highest quality of meats and all-natural ingredients, but they are also made with no added hormones or nitrites so you can really feel good about what you are eating!
Aidells carries several delicious products all with unexpected flavor combinations such as bacon mushroom swiss, sun dried tomato with mozzarella, Cajun style andouille and even habanero with pepper jack cheese. For this particular recipe I used Aidells smoked chicken and apple sausage links that contain their trademark spice blend along with delicious chunks of apple in every bite!
As you can see above, for a limited time, each package of Aidells sausage links currently has a sticker containing a unique summer recipe so make sure to look for that on the packaging the next time you’re at the store!
To really bring out that apple flavor in this sausage, I topped each pizza with some fresh apple slices along with goat cheese, baby arugula and finished it off with a drizzle of sweet honey vinaigrette. If you’re not a fan of goat cheese, feel free to use some gorgonzola (which tastes delicious with apples!), burrata or really any cheese you prefer. This pizza turned out incredible and was the perfect sweet and savory combination!
If you’re making pizza at a backyard cookout or even on a camping trip, it’s important that you pre-chop all of your toppings ahead of time. I pre-sliced all the apples and put each of the toppings into individual containers so that assembly would be nice and easy for everyone! We grilled the chicken sausage right there on the grill and sliced it up right before adding it to the pizzas.
To make the honey vinaigrette, I whisked together a little olive oil, some honey, Dijon mustard and fresh lemon juice and drizzled it over top of the pizza and arugula which really gave the pizza a sweet, fresh taste! If you have any extra dressing left over, make sure to save it because it tastes great on salads too. I actually make this vinaigrette a lot which is why I wanted to use it on this pizza. A definite tried and true dressing that just tastes delicious on everything!
Now if you thought that was easy to make, grilling the actual pizza is even easier! To keep things simple we used naan flatbreads that were brushed with a little olive oil. Naan crisps up so nicely on the grill and is the perfect size for individual pizzas. The key though to a good grilled pizza is placing the toppings on the pizza while it sits on the grill! You’ll want to grill the naan first before adding any toppings, about 2 to 3 minutes per side, until you see some nice char marks and this is also a good time to go ahead and cook your sausage. Then once the naan is ready, just add your cooked sausage, apple slices and goat cheese grilling for an additional 4 to 6 minutes until the cheese is nice and gooey! Easy right??
This pizza is definitely a new summer favorite and one I can really enjoy eating because of all the fresh flavors and quality ingredients. I purchased all of these ingredients at my local Safeway. You can easily find your closest Safeway store on their store finder here! Safeway offers tons of delicious summer recipe inspiration so make sure to check them out!
So whether you’re hosting a backyard party or planning a fun camping trip with friends, this grilled pizza with sausage, apple and goat cheese is sure to be a winner with your family this summer! Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did!

Time is fluid.
It rolls, it slows down, it speeds up…it can seemingly stand still.
We experience the magic of time in many different ways.
It’s one thing every one of us on this planet has in common but it can be something we all perceive differently.
For us biz bosses, time is valuable. It’s your greatest asset.
Sometimes we have productive days where everything gets done and you’re left to bask in the afterglow of a complete to-do list.
But most days, it feels like there’s not enough time in the world to do all the things.
At times, we’re left wanting more time and in other instances, wanting less.
It’s critical to consciously create the time and space we need in our lives and our businesses so we can live happy and oh so healthy lives.
Following my dreams and running my own biz means endless to-do lists, daily meetings, calls and messages.
It means there is ALWAYS something to do.
I’m continuously taking action and making decisions not just for myself but for the amazing people I get to lead.
It’s exhilarating and I love it but I also need to manage it like a boss so it doesn’t manage me.
If you’re just starting out, time can feel ESPECIALLY crazy.
You have a million thoughts in your head, a million things to do…and you may be doing it with a toddler running around your knees or while juggling two part-time jobs.
Believe me, I’ve been there.
So I’m here to help.
Let’s get you consciously creating your own time and space so you can make the most of it, start seeing results and achieve that next level of success.
I know sometimes that can be easier said than done.
Especially when my 9-year-old Madeline is running around giggling, my cellphone is going off and I’m rushing to Pilates in the morning.
But it CAN be done.
And the best way to focus is to make a to-do list. Every day.
Write down your list of things to in order of importance. Don’t overdo it either. Focus on three tasks that HAVE to get done that day.
Throughout the day, consult your list and check off things as you go.
Not only does this give you a sense of accomplishment, it fires you up to keep going.
Rinse and Repeat…every day.
Another trick is to block off time in your calendar for tasks.
Have you been trying to write the copy for your new website for the last six months and you just never seem to be able to get to it?
Then block off time every Monday for the next month, set aside two hours and during those two hours, turn off your phone and get to work. 
Seriously though, running your own biz requires a great deal of self-motivation. And sometimes you gots-to-be THE boss and tell yourself to get the heck to work.
Ping. Ping. Ping. Beep. Ring…
My husband Wes yelling at me that dinner was ready an hour ago….
Haha…IT. NEVER. STOPS.
I’m sure you feel me.
Sometimes, you just have to turn it all off. Your phone, your laptop, even your Roomba… I actually highly recommend it.
My phone is my lifeline because I basically use it while running every aspect of my biz, but it can be a MASSIVE distraction.
Hearing the pings and beeps and rings all day long can give you a one-way ticket to crazy town.
Got a blog to write? Turn your phone off…put it another room….whatever you have to do to eliminate the distraction.
If you have kids…it’s a lot more difficult to eliminate distractions, but it can be done.
Can you get a friend to watch them for a couple of hours a day? Can you make a work agreement with your partner? Can you get the most pressing stuff done while your little one is in school or daycare?
I know it’s hard. But you can do this.
Okay….consciously-creating-time-rule-numero-uno….you’re no good to yourself, your clients, your family or anyone else if you’re stressed.
Yes, you have to do your invoicing, yes you have healthy lunches to make for your kids, yes you have three meetings today that you’re not fully prepared for…. STOP.
Take a big deep breath and picture yourself as a tiny little speck on a massive planet floating around in space.
For real!
And then I want you to untie the knot in your belly, slow down your heart rate using your breath and realize you are doing your best.
And nothing you do or don’t have time to get to will make the planet stop spinning.
Self care is so important because it will make your work ten times more productive.
If you’re practicing self-love on the daily, you shouldn’t get to the point where you’re feeling overwhelmed.
Take a bath. Read a book. Go for a hike in nature. Stare at a white wall.
Whatever you need to do to chill out and get centered…block off time for it in your calendar as you would any other task on your to-do list.
Your business, and your family and friends, will thank you for it.

The post How to Create MORE of Your Most Valuable Resource: TIME! appeared first on Positively Positive.
Businesses are realising the risks climate change poses to their revenues, but they are also starting to find the opportunities to profit from the transition to a low-carbon world. Financial groups are set to suffer most, so they will put pressure on the firms they invest in to cut their emissions.
A host of U.S. consumer companies have warned that costs related to tariffs on goods imported from China will hit their profits.
I know from experience that just seeing that word caused different reactions among readers who believe it exists or doesn’t exist, who find the term accurate or insulting, who now feel understood or irritated. And while this doesn’t capture the whole picture, the line of who reacted how can be drawn between female and male.
If you’re a woman, you’re far more likely to agree “mansplaining” happens, to say you’ve experienced it, and to object to its use. If you’re a man, you’re far more likely to disagree that it happens, to say you haven’t seen or done it, and to object to the use of that word.
But what if I told you that women tend toward a communication style that really irritates men? Have you ever heard a husband say, “I wish she’d just get to the point”?
Well, he’s got a point.
Women are more likely to meander in conversation, sharing personal stories, including details, and checking for understanding as they speak. We often do this because it’s not the point that matters as much as the connection we feel from interacting with the person we’re talking to.
But that’s not how many men approach communication. So it’s understandably annoying for him when figuring out the takeaway feels like an impossible game of Where’s Waldo?
I’m not highlighting “mansplaining” and “womeandering”—yes, I made that up, and it should totally become a word—to get us upset about the opposite gender’s real or perceived communication flaws. Rather, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about how men and women discuss sensitive topics.
From blog comment threads to Facebook post replies to my own interactions with my husband, I’m reminded how much our distinct perspectives play into conversational conflict.
Men tend to be more to the point, even gruff at times, to offer direct advice, and to feel disrespected when their feelings or points are not acknowledged. Meanwhile, women tend to tell stories as a way to convey that someone isn’t alone, to offer more detailed advice, and to feel personally hurt when their feelings or points are not acknowledged.
Does this describe all men and women? Of course not. As I often say, stereotypes exist for a reason, but they’re not all-encompassing. The gender continuum really looks more like this:
So you may identify strongly with what I said above (the ends), more in the middle, or in that overlapping part where you’re more like the other gender. Okay, fine. And just to be clear—not identifying with something labeled as men/women doesn’t make you any less masculine or feminine. God just made a variety of us. Still, it’s helpful to understand some generalities to communicate well with the opposite gender on social media and in face-to-face conversation.
And be sure not to take the stereotype for granted with your own spouse. Rather, ask your beloved which, if any, of the following common gender differences apply to them.
| MEN | WOMEN |
| Converse for information | Converse for connection |
| Wants to get to the point | Wants to share how she gets to the point |
| Talks more easily shoulder-to-shoulder | Talks more easily with eye contact |
| Responds by offering solutions | Responds by offering sympathy/empathy |
| Display less tone variation and gestures | Display more tone variation and gestures |
| Views strong challenges as disrespectful | Views strong challenges as insensitive |
If you went back and read blog posts I wrote specifically to women and others specifically to men, you’d see a difference in how I communicate. I also change my approach in the comments section depending on who I’m dealing with, which includes what I can glean about their background and personality as well as their gender. Because men and women tend to respond differently to different approaches.
But too often, we forget this in regular conversation—here on my blog and in my Facebook group, but most especially in our marriages.
Indeed, I was flummoxed this past weekend when I said something I thought was helping my husband and he felt challenged and disrespected. I didn’t intend that, but looking back, I can see how it came across to him that way. The gap in perception was mostly about gender communication differences.
What’s the solution? Well, we each need to give a little. But the burden to adapt seems to lie more with the speaker. That’s what you see over and over and over in Scripture: commands and advice about how we speak to one another. Here’s a sampling:
We won’t get it right every time. It really is hard to put yourself in the other person’s shoes. But it’s worth trying, because by making that effort we show love and respect to others, avoid some unnecessary conflict, and experience our own personal growth as we become more other-focused and simply kinder in how we communicate.
Now scroll back up and look at the table on what men and women tend to do. This time, instead of seeing whether you identify with the gender you are, ask what your spouse is like and how you could change your speech to cater to their needs. What if you both did that? Wouldn’t your discussions immediately become more productive?
I’m working on this, and I hope you will too.

Given the opportunity, everyone would love to accumulate more wealth, make more money, and live an abundant life. However, many people have a poor relationship with money. They have trouble manifesting money and wealth into their lives, and as a result, never achieve the financial success they desire.
The truth is that financial success starts in the mind and the number one thing holding many people back is their belief system concerning wealth and money.
With that in mind, leveraging the Law of Attraction is one of the most effective ways to change your beliefs about money into a belief system that will open you up to the prosperity that is all around you. But first, you must take some steps to really see it work to change your life.
In order to activate the Law of Attraction in your life, you must identify and change your limiting beliefs about money. Throughout our lives, since childhood, we’ve created limiting beliefs about money that we’ve internalized over time and accepted to be true.” You’ve heard these limiting beliefs before.
They’re things like money doesn’t grow on trees and is therefore extremely difficult to acquire, or the idea that money can’t buy happiness, or the limiting belief that you can’t be rich and be a good person at the same time.
Before you can begin leveraging the Law of Attraction, it’s important to first identify and address any limiting beliefs about money that you might have.
Once you see money for what it really is – an accessible, unlimited supply of a resource you can use in any way that you desire – it’s much easier to form the habits and mindset necessary to acquire wealth.
One great way to address any limiting beliefs about money is through the use of positive affirmations.
For example, if you realize that you view money as something that is scarce and difficult to acquire, you could use a positive affirmation such as, “I’m a money magnet. Everything I touch turns to gold”.
Other positive affirmations you can use are, “I am releasing any and all negative thoughts and emotions about money, and am happy and free to visualize my dreams”.
Or, “I am creating all the money I want and need to accomplish everything I want to do in life.”
Try the affirmation, “I am making positive choices about what to do with my money and enjoying the energy of abundance that it reflects.”
What you say to yourself becomes what you believe, and what you truly believe becomes reality. By using positive affirmations to combat limiting beliefs about money, you can develop a mindset concerning money that enables you to leverage the Law of Attraction.
The Law of Attraction dictates that the things you believe inwardly and project outwardly will be the things that you attract into your life. If you want to attract something such as money, therefore, it’s important to visualize it as if you already have it.
Visualizing a world where you have all of the money that you desire not only creates a mindset that is more receptive to financial gain, it also enables you to imagine what your life will be like once you have reached your goals.
This, in and of itself, can serve as a powerful source of motivation that will keep pushing you forward when things get difficult.
Visualizing money as if you already have it can also create an abundance mindset, as opposed to a mindset of scarcity.
One of the big reasons why the wealthy have no problem getting richer is that they see the money they don’t have as something that is both abundant and acquirable, while at the same time, seeing the money they do have as a tool that can be used to make more money rather than something that has to be protected or saved.
This type of abundance mindset comes naturally when you have a lot of money, but it can also be developed by visualizing money as something that you already have in abundance.
If you want to create a physical anchor point for your visualizations, try carrying around a hundred dollar bill in your pocket.
Simply doing this can make you feel wealthier and prevent you from ever being able to say that you are broke – and thus prevent the limiting mindsets that go along with being broke.
Finally, remember that the Universe will provide you with more of what you’re grateful for. Never underestimate the power of gratitude.
Ultimately, the things that you are grateful for will be the things that you tend to pursue with the most passion. Truly being grateful for something also tends to eliminate any limiting beliefs you have, and will make you more receptive to new opportunities.
As you go about adopting a beneficial mindset regarding money that enables you to leverage the Law of Attraction, and don’t forget about the importance of gratitude.
No matter how much or how little money you are currently earning, an attitude of gratitude is essential if you want to earn more.
