Which Type of Holiday Best Suits Your Needs

Which Type of Holiday Best Suits Your Needs There are quite a few things to consider when deciding which type of holiday best suits your needs, from your budget to how much time you have, to who you’ll be travelling with.  Only you know what will work best for you  â€" a cheap and cheerful week in the European sun, or an all-out luxury trip halfway across the globe. With that in mind, hopefully the following options will inspire you and help you recognise what it is you really want from your next holiday. Travelling on a Shoestring: a Budget City Break If you’re on a tight budget and want to save your pennies where you can, an apartment with cooking facilities is the best option for you. Go for a comfortable, modern hotel or apartment that offers a convenient base for exploring your chosen city, town or resort. A short city break is a great choice if you’re travelling on a shoestring. Free sightseeing tours, museums that operate on a donation basis, and central parks where you can picnic in the sun, are all staples of the European city break. Taking advantage of this will help you save a significant amount of money on your trip, so you can focus on enjoying yourself. Eating out is one of the highlights of any holiday, so be sure to set aside some cash to visit one or two of the local restaurants. That said, a city location means you’ll never be far away from neighbourhood bakeries, market stalls selling fresh produce, and well-stocked supermarkets, all of which offer affordable snacks and ingredients for cooking at home. Sun, Sand and Sea â€" Without Splashing Out Planning a longer trip, where good weather is a priority? Enjoy a week in the sun on a smaller budget by opting for a self-catering apartment in a hotel. For a lazy (and affordable) holiday, pick a hotel with a pool and a spacious sun terrace where you can relax all day, without opening your wallet. If you’re within walking distance to the beach, even better â€" renting a sun lounger for the day is cheap, and if you pack your own snacks and drinks, you’ll find you’re spending less than you even expected. Embrace the outdoors and make the most of the good weather without breaking the bank. You’ll be feeling rested and refreshed once the week is up, ready to face the demands of everyday life once again. The Luxury Package Deal Work hard, play hard. If that’s your motto, consider a stay in a luxury, all-inclusive resort or hotel. More often than not, a luxury resort will have its own private pool, and a spa where you can relax in a Jacuzzi or enjoy a massage. Exceptional dining options are always part of the package, as is a brilliant location right by the beach. Some of the top destinations for a luxury 5-star all-inclusive holiday are the Caribbean, Cuba, and Mexico â€" each vastly different, with its own unique culture and distinct way of life. Whichever appeals most, you’ll be rewarded with a tropical climate, a taste of real local culture, and above all, an adventure. Discover a new destination while embracing the finer things in life, and strike a balance between thrilling exploration and deep relaxation for a holiday you’ll never forget. For some great luxury all-inclusive holidays on offer, head to www.holidayhypermarket.co.uk. A Romantic Couples Getaway For some quality time with your other half, you’ll want to plan a trip that combines peace, privacy, and the opportunity to make memories you’ll cherish. This means  carefully  picking where you stay â€" a family-friendly resort full of noisy and excitable kids might not be for you if romance is the aim of the game. There are plenty of adults-only hotels, charming rustic villas, and cosy apartments to choose from, all over the world. The question is, which destination takes the number one spot for romance? The competition is strong, but Italy is an obvious contender. Picture wandering through the cobbled streets of Sicily, sharing a gelato; or making plans for the future over a bottle of fruity Italian red. Or maybe sophisticated Paris is more your style? Stay here for a long weekend of shopping, champagne and taking in the beauty of one of the most romantic cities on the planet. One thing is certain: theres no shortage of romantic getaways for lovebirds with a passion for travel. Snoozing in the sun or exploring the city…however you plan to spend your precious time off this year, don’t forget to do your research before you book. Once you understand exactly what it is you’re looking for, you can be confident you’ll find a holiday that meets all your expectations â€" and perhaps even exceeds what you wished for.

I Hate People

I Hate People Well, not all people. At least not enough to write a book called I Hate People, which is just what authors Jonathan Littman and Marc Hershon did. (Note to self: the title was irresistible; here I am writing about it.) One of the authors (Hershon) is a branding expert and comedian who named, among other products, the Blackberry phone and the Swiffer mop. It’s the comedian in him that accounts for the tone of the book. The subtitle of I Hate People is even more compelling: Kick loose from the overbearing and underhanded jerks at work and get what you want out of your job. Now I know I have your attention. Littman and Hershon start with a great quote by Samuel Johnson: “I hate mankind, for I think of myself as one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am.” This in the 1700’s, before the cubicle was even invented. The authors understand that for many people, the idea of stating aloud that you hate people can be scary. So they test your self-proclaimed fondness for people. The quiz asks seven questions like this: When I’m on a business flight, I most enjoy sitting beside: Chatty people wearing lots of cologne Crying children Children An empty seat Two empty seats Yes, I thought so. I Hate People goes on to build a case for what it calls the “Least Wanted List:” archetypes of people at work who drive you crazy, from Stop Signs (“no” is their default answer for everything) and Spreadsheets (micromanagers who try to overwhelm you with detailed paperwork until you give up on projects.) And the slow-moving, but difficult to maneuver around “Sheeple” (people who prefer the herd and move in one unstoppable mass “kind of like a glacier that takes coffee breaks.”) The archetypes are organized into Stumbling Blocks, Wrong Turns and Time Wasters (some gifted individuals can be classified as a “combo plate” of unlikeability.) Flippant tone aside, I Hate People actually throws in some data to prove that teams are not the most productive way to work. A 1913 study by French agricultural engineer Maximilien Ringelmann created a virtual tug of war with groups and individuals tugging against a strain gauge. The “Ringelmann Effect” states that people will put out about 20 percent less effort in a small group than they will as an individual, a concept he called “social loafing.” In a group of eight, people pulled just half as hard as they did alone. Slacking seems to be hard wired into the human brain. If I pull alone, I pull as hard as I can; after all, who else is there to pull? But once we add a team into the mix, I can relax a little, knowing that my team will share the load. In my experience, social loafing may also be tied into the fact that as a team member, you get less credit for a win, even if your chances of winning may be greater. Sharing credit is usually less rewarding â€" although assigning blame is our new national pastime. The answer for some of us, the authors claim, is to give up teamwork and become soloists. It’s a term they coined from orchestras; soloists are more gifted played to not only get to perform alone during the concert, but have a responsibility to lead and inspire the other players in their sections. If you’re lucky, the authors say, you’ll be able to distance yourself from all the time-sucking meetings and mind-numbing office protocol and simply work on interesting projects â€" alone, or with a small, talented group of people you don’t hate. Skunkworks, one my favorite cool business terms, is used to describe a group within an organization that is given a high degree of autonomy and unhampered by bureaucracy, tasked with working on advanced or secret projects.

Personal Branding Interview Simon Sinek - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Personal Branding Interview Simon Sinek - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Today, I spoke to Simon Sinek, who is the author of Start With WHY, the creator of The Golden Circle, and a popular speaker. In this interview, Simon talks about what the WHY is, why companies need to have a sense of purpose, examples of companies and individuals that have a WHY, advice on finding your WHY and much more. In your book, you make a case for the existence of this thing you call the WHY. What is a WHY? About four years ago I made this discovery that all the great and inspiring leaders and organizations think, act and communicate the exact same way, and it’s the complete opposite to everyone else. From leaders like Martin Luther King to companies like Apple, regardless of their size or industry, they all start with Why. Every single organizationor career, for that matterexists on three levels: WHAT you do, HOW you do it and WHY you do it. Everyone knows WHAT they do, some know HOW they do it (your differentiating value proposition or the things that make you different), but very few can clearly articulate WHY they do what they do. By WHY I don’t mean to make money, that’s always a result. By WHY, I mean what’s your purpose, cause or belief? Why does your company exist? Why did you get out of bed this morning? And why should anyone care? Starting with Why means reversing the way we usually do things. Most organizations only focus on WHAT they do and HOW they do it â€" tactics and strategies â€" and they aren’t even aware that this thing called the WHY exists. Focusing on only two pieces of a three piece puzzle leaves an organization, or a career, inherently out of balance. Being out of balance, only operating on two of the three pieces, shows up in different ways â€" increased stress, loss of passion, obsession with what your competition is doing, being forced to play the price game, trouble differentiating. These are all signs that the WHY is missing. Those who lead their industries are different. Great, inspiring leaders and organizations, regardless of size or industry, all know WHY they do what they do. They all know WHY their organizations exist in terms that go beyond products or strategies or tactics. It is this clear sense of WHY that inspires them and those around them. It is what drives loyalty. And it is what drives their success over and over and over. What are some good examples of people or companies that understand their WHY? In business, any of the companies that we love to do business with all understand their WHY. That’s the reason we love, not just like, doing business with them. It’s the WHY that commands the loyalty. Companies like Apple, Southwest Airlines, Harley-Davidson, Patagonia and others. All their competitors have equal and open access to the same media, resources, talent, consultants and agencies, but these few companies seem to have an unbalanced amount of success and influence. They are also more profitable and more innovative. Not just because they are good at WHAT they do or HOW they do it, but because they also know WHY. They are operating on all three levels â€" they are in balance. You can see it in great leaders too, like Martin Luther King or Ronald Reagan or John F. Kennedy. Martin Luther King, for example, wasn’t the only great orator of the day. Nor was he the only man who suffered in a pre-civil rights America or the only man who knew what had to change. His gift was that he didn’t go around telling people WHAT we needed to do or WHAT we needed to change. He went around and told people WHY. He believed in something and we believed in his dream. That’s what inspired us to band together to change America. It started with WHY. You recently took a trip overseas to visit the troops, how does the WHY pertain to them? Yes, I visited Ramstein, Spangdahlem and Aviano Air Bases in Europe. It was an honor to speak to so many men and women who put on a uniform every day to serve. They understand, often more than businesses, the concept of WHY. A WHY, at the end of the day, is a belief. HOWs are the actions we take to realize that belief. And WHATs are the results of those actions â€" the things we say and do. Those who serve in the military understand what it means to show up to be a part of something bigger than yourself. We even call their jobs “service.” How many people feel like they “serve” a nobler purpose when they go to work? The willingness to show up, work hard and sacrifice because you believe in what your country represents and what it stands for is one of the greatest examples of WHY there is. When I visit these bases, by sharing the concept of WHY with them, it puts into words the very intense feeling they have towards their jobs. It’s inspiring. How do you know if you have a WHY? Every person has a WHY and every organization has a WHY. And both only have one. You can’t have four WHYs. Your WHY doesn’t change or go away, it is either in balance or out of balance. You are either saying and doing the things that bring to life your WHY or you’re not. For a person, your WHY is formed when you are young. It is the sum total of who you are, how your parents raised you and the experiences you had. Once formed, your life offers opportunities for you to live your WHY or not. We all know what it feels like. When we’re passionate and everything “feels” like it’s going well â€" that’s because the WHY is there, even if we can’t put it into words. The reason it’s just a feeling that we can’t put into words is because the WHY exists in the part of the brain that controls feelings â€" like trust and loyalty, it also controls behavior and decision making, but it doesn’t control language. That’s where gut decisions come from and that’s the reason we say those decisions just “feel” right. It’s not your gut. . . it’s the WHY. All organizations were started at some point by a person or small group of people. In those cases, the WHY of the organization is the same as the founder’s WHY. The company is one of the things they did in their life to bring to life their WHY. The personality, the WHY of Apple is the same as Steve Jobs. The WHY of Virgin is the same as Richard Branson. The WHY of Microsoft is the same as Bill Gates. The challenge and opportunity all organizations face is to extract the WHY from the founder/leader and build it into the fabric of their cultures. This is the reason so many organizations don’t thrive the same way after their inspiring founder/leaders leave. The new CEO understands WHAT the company does, has ideas HOW to do it, but is rarely clear on WHY the company was founded and even more rarely makes decisions in pursuit of that cause. It’s not an accident that we say of companies whose founder/leaders depart, “it’s not like it used to be.” They no longer inspire. They ju st manage WHAT they do and HOW they do it. Their WHY goes fuzzy. What advice do you give to someone who is struggling to find their WHY? As I said before, your WHY comes from your own background and upbringing. For example, a CEO that grew up in the depression, grows up to become a miserly CEO. That’s not because he read in some management book the importance of being miserly â€" it’s because he grew up in the depression! The same is true for all of us. Our WHY is formed when we’re young. So if you want to rediscover your WHY, that’s where you have to look. If it’s for an individual, don’t think about the work you’re doing now. You’re too close to it and you have too many opinions. Go back to all the jobs you’ve had, write a long list of them. Or write down the things you’ve done over the years. Circle all the ones that you loved. Not liked â€" that’s rational. I mean the ones you really loved. The ones you miss. The ones that you consider special. Then look to see what all those circled items have in common. Not the 5 things or the things â€" the one common thread. That will give you a clue as to what your WHY is. The goal then becomes to only do things where that thing is present. If it’s there â€" you’ll love what you do. If it’s not, you may like it, but you won’t love iteven if you’re paid well. If it’s for an organization, go back to the founding of the company. Why was the company founded? I don’t mean what marketing opportunity did it fill, but what was the problem the founder was trying to solve? What was going on in their lives that they saw this product or service as the way forward? For example, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak grew up in Northern California during the Vietnam War â€" the hot bed of anti-government and anti-establishment sentiment. Apple was and still is their revolution. They wanted to challenge the status quo of large companies, monopolies, anything that suppresses the creativity of the human spirit. They were the champion for the individual. That has always been the case and is to this day. All these companies that grew to any sizable proportions were all founded with a belief or a cause bigger than their products or services. It was their products or services that helped them bring that cause to life. Simon Sinek is the author of Start With WHY (Penguin). He created a simple model, The Golden Circle, that codifies what makes the most inspiring people and organizations so successful and influential. The concept is so powerful that it is changing the way people think, act and communicate. From the Pentagon, to the United Nations, to Hollywood. Simon has been invited to talk about The Golden Circle across the United States and around the world. He advises a wide of variety of leaders and organizations, including small businesses and entrepreneurs, corporations like Microsoft, non-profits, government and politicians. More and more people are learning to become more effective, more efficient and more inspiring by discovering how to start everything they say and do with WHY. He is quoted frequently by national publications and is a regular contributor to The Huffington Post and BrandWeek.

What are ten bad financial decisions to avoid in your 20s [Answered]

What are ten bad financial decisions to avoid in your 20s [Answered] Whether youre starting your career, mid-career, or nearing retirement, financial decisions play a big part in whether you are successful or not in this thing called life. Financial problems create stress, cause relationships to tear apart, and bad choices can often have ramifications throughout your life. So getting your financial house in order is critical. So when I came across this post in Quora, I had to tackle it What are ten bad financial decisions to avoid in your 20s? Heres my answers #1 Staying at one company for more than 3â€"5 years. This is a time for learning and growing. You need different experiences (even if in the same industry) to provide perspective that will help you be successful as you enter your 30’s. #2 Not starting a side hustle. We’re in an age where there are hundreds of ways to earn extra income and build skills that can be used in the future. All while pursuing a passion project or interest. You can even take a hobby and make it self-supporting. #3 Spending what you earn (or more). Most people find they spend what they make. Then when life happens (car breaks down, medical bills, etc.) you go into debt on the credit card. Then you continue a downward spiral that is hard to extricate yourself from. Spend radically less than you earn…I’m thinking 25â€"50% saved from what you earn. This also allows you to be less dependent on a job or have seed money to start a business if you choose too or hit your retirement goals faster. #4 Incurring student loans. Now I recognize that this often has to be addressed sooner than your 20’s. But going the trade school or community college route (at least for 2 years) and then working while in school, will both build good work/study habits as well as set you up for a debt-free future. #5 Associating with the wrong people. They say you are who you associate with. Hang out with people who spend everything they earn and more. Or people who bring drama with them like a cloud. Or those who want to party all the time and not worry about work. You’ll find yourself doing the same. #6 Worrying about what others think. Life’s too short to not live life on your own terms. Know that there is no “right” path. And those who think they do know the path often find themselves derailed and lost later in life with things don’t go according to their plans. #7 Not getting married and having kids. Although getting married young does bring other challenges, many people think you have to get your career in order first. And although you can achieve much with the extra focus that not having romantic relationships distracts you from, you can’t go back in time. This is especially true of women who want careers. Many women who wanted to have it all found they couldn’t have children because they waited to long (even with in vitro). And although they can still have very fulfilling lives, there often is that sense of loss too. #8 Thinking “I’m too young” to do that. There are some jobs where being older is a benefit. And there are others where youth wins out. Know that you always have options. Don’t sell yourself short. #9 Not learning enough and focusing too much on the dollars. In your 20’s you’re building the platform for your future. Your career may vary but the skills and relationships you develop in your 20’s will often pay off down the road in ways you never imagined. If you aren’t learning, move on. #10 Not having fun! Life is too short not to have fun. And you’ll find out soon enough that there were opportunities you passed on that you wished you didn’t. Go take life by the horns and make the most of it. What are some Bad Financial Decisions you think 20-somethings should avoid?   Or ones you think we should all know about? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

How to Organise your Career 10 Habits of the Super Organised IM HIRED

How to Organise your Career 10 Habits of the Super Organised Be on top of your organisational game Are you forever wondering how your colleagues always manage to keep on top of their workload? Unsure how they progress in their careers and excel in the day to day? Or are you questioning how its possible to balance your job whilst looking for that dream career? Organisation is the key to making it happen and if youre not naturally blessed with the ability to plan and prepare in your sleep then these 10 tips could help you get structure in your career. Break it down When it comes to enhancing your career, going for a promotion or a new job is a huge task and having only the end goal in mind can be overwhelming. Breaking a task into bitesize sections will make them easier to digest. Include mini deadlines for each portion and set yourself a chronological structure that you’re able to work towards. ____________________________________________ Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs Henry Ford _________________________ Review your Goals What’s the point of having goals if you never plan on monitoring your progress? If youre constantly leaving an endless stretch of unfinished or unaccomplished tasks behind you, actually reviewing your progress could be the motivation youre looking for. Recording your achievements will inspire you to progress further instead of giving up at the first hurdle and who doesn’t like to celebrate themselves. Have a To Do List   When it comes to staying organised a to do list is critical. Personally Im a fan of the old fashion pen and paper but there are so many  online tools if organisation  isnt your strong point. Whether you use Trello for managing projects or even just sticky notes on your laptop, it’s all about find out what works for you. Trust me you’ll love the sense of achievement you get from ticking off each task. Stay Motivated   We can all be guilty of telling ourselves that we’ll get it done tomorrow, but tomorrow never comes. If you’ve promised youll update your CV or that youll finish that report then actually put the effort in and do it! The more you leave it the worse the task seems, avoid having it lingering over you. Struggling to muster up the drive to get the job done? Why not give yourself a little encouragement with a reward for completing the work (there could be your favourite lunch waiting for you after you finish that report.) Rise Early   Okay, so this one might be a little hypocritical coming from the self-proclaimed night owl. Whilst being a morning person definitely doesnt come naturally to me, there are benefits of getting in early. From being able to beat the morning rush hour, to giving yourself time to prepare for the day, waking up even just 15 minutes earlier could have a positive impact on your entire day. Involve your Team Keep your manager and team updated on your workload is vital to staying organised but why is it so important to avoid others? If your team knows you’re snowed under, then they aren’t going to be adding more pressure by piling on the work and they might even reach out to support. But this is a two street, you need to be open to offering the support back when they need it. _________________________ Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.  Helen Keller _________________________ Know what you want You cant love your career until you  know exactly what you want to do. Be proactive and take control of your career, whether you volunteer to explore other avenues or if thats not an option put your researching skills to good use to review what’s out there. Organising your career takes time so be open to the challenge. Have a Long Term Plan When you’re busy, it’s easier to focus on what’s directly in front of you but dont get too bogged down with the day to day, instead take time to create your long term plan. If you want to develop within your career you need to step outside your day to day duties, start with just completing one task per day that steers you towards your long term goals. The Tools for Success A to do list isnt the only area where technology can support your organisational skills. Block distractions with app or notification  blockers, take advantage to translation tools to expand your network, or use the cloud to keep your notes to hand at all times. With so many options there is no excuses for not being organised. Schedule Away For my blog I need to be active on Social Media but I don’t want to spend hours on my laptop updating my feeds. So I cheat and let platforms such as Tailwind do the hard work for me whilst I sit back I pretend to be super organised!
