One of the main causes of illness in the workforce today is known as sick building syndrome and it is responsible for thousands of days off work sick each year. Sick building syndrome is not a problem that is just confined to the United States, it is beginning to be recognized all over the world as more and more people are feeling the effects of being in a poorly ventilated building.
Some of the symptoms of sick building syndrome are: indoor allergies, itchy eyes and nose, runny nose, sore throat, headaches, blurred vision, nausea, dizziness, fatigue and difficulty when concentrating for any period of time. Some people believe that these symptoms are purely psychological however if you are suffering like this you will argue that it is very real. Imagine what it would feel like to start to feel ill within minutes of entering your place of work each day and find that you get worse as the day progresses.
Experts have put forward different reasons for this sick building syndrome from outside influences such as person's general health or family life, an illness epidemic and other viral infections. However these do not take into account the fact that more and more people are falling ill and all have one thing in common - they all work in the same building.
Such buildings that seem to have high levels of sickness related to sick building syndrome tend to have poorly maintained ventilation and heating systems which many people blame for their illness. This theory can be supported by the fact that the majority of people who claim to have sick building syndrome are often in good health when they away from the building and only become ill again their return.
If poorly maintained ventilation systems are to blame for these illnesses then it is important that something is done about them. Dirty ventilation systems can be the cause of many different types of illness as mold spores can grow and multiply and they are then blown through air ducts right to where people are working. This then results in them being ill as the air that they are breathing is not fresh and purified. Mold spores are not just to blame, if rodents get into the air ducts they can cause problems as can a build up of general dirt and debris, so they should be cleaned regularly.
So really it would be fair to say that sick building syndrome does exist but only where there are dirty ventilation systems that are not kept up to standard. If you suspect the air ducts and ventilation system in a building are dirty is it important that it is brought to the attention of someone who is responsible for them. Your local HVAC technician can provide a comprehensive maintenance service that will ensure that ventilation systems are kept clean and running efficiently, reducing the number of sick days and keeping staff healthy. If this sounds like something that your business could use, contact your local HVAC technician to help you improve your air quality.

Single Moms Need Time and Money
Regarding work and life most people fit into one of these four categories:
(1) No time, and no money.
If you are an employee, chances are this describes the way you feel. You can't go shopping on a Tuesday afternoon or tell your boss to take a hike. How will you even be able to afford to send your kids to college, save for retirement or even think of having a life today with no time and no money?
(2) No time, lots of money.
Some so called successful self-employed, professionals and small business owners are in this category. They are slightly better off than the employee because they earn more, but they have to work even harder than employees to keep up with the diminishing profit margins, competition and servicing their customers. As a single mother, do you want to spend much less time with your kids?
(3) Lots of time, no money.
A lot of college dropouts, rock climbers and bums have lots of time but no money. Maybe living close to the ground is bliss, but without a stable source of income, how long can you last? If you're a single mom, you know that your kids will need food, clothes, plus medical care for that broken arm or leg. Not a great place to be in my opinion if you are a responsible single mom.
(4) Lots of time, and lots of money.
It is the category that big business owners, landlords, investors are in. Imagine, not having to work for money, but having money to work for you by investing them and earning profits by using your money to make money. Also, you're smart enough to hire the best people so you don't even have to work. Just think about how many people you could help out in the no time, no money category. A lot of people are comfortable there.
Here are Two Questions for You
1. Which one of the four categories best describes your current situation?
2. Which one category would give you the most opportunity to be a great single mother?
If you answered with time and money you're the kind of person that stands a chance of getting there. Because as Henry Ford put it "If you think you can or you think you can't, you're right."
Yes you can do anything you want and with the internet and all the information and services readily available there is every reason a determined single mom could be in the time and money category rather quickly.

Choose a Profession Where Growth and Flexibility are the Key
The days when someone used to view a waiter or bartender as someone who is uneducated or just passing through till something better takes place are long gone.In today's fast paced world the Hospitality industry is flourishing providing a good income and opportunity for those who seek flexibility in both their work environment and how they want to live.
In a recent job market survey by the Canadian Food and Restaurant Association it states the Foodservice Industry employs over a million people or 6.3% of the total employment eclipsing other industries such as agriculture , forestry , pulp and paper , banking, and oil and gas extraction combined.
The young people entering the Hospitality profession are finally being rewarded financially as noted in the same survey with the first 8 months of 2007 citing an increase of 8.2% in average weekly earnings in Ontario as an example.So when at one time young people entered the profession to earn enough money to get by now they are looking at it as a career option.
With other former industries such as manufacturing that used to provide stability on the downswing because of changing demands and competition ,young people are turning to the hospitality industry because of it's guaranteed growth.
Just a note that the number of times reported that an average Canadian household ate out for a meal or snack in 2006 was a staggering 536 times. This statistic will only increase in the future as the time constraints on families multiply.
The Foodservice Industry has always been looked at with some criticism in the past because of the long and unsocial hours one works.Not anymore , in fact many people love the industry because they work with other like minded people developing teamwork and social skills , meet new people everyday in most cases when they serve the guests , and then at the end of the day go home to continue with their other interests.
All in all far from a boring life.
Some other professions involve working with computers and corresponding via email and cell phones prohibiting the human need to socially interact face to face. Although these are worthy occupations and some indeed very well paying the link to cell phones and email often means the job even after one leaves the workplace never really ends at all as their availability is with them everywhere they go.How may cell phones do you hear ring now when you are enjoying a dinner in a restaurant?
Few people in the Foodservice industry a decade ago every achieved any notoriety at all but now that has completely changed.With the start of Food Networks and the internet young people now can look to someone who is a chef , restaurant owner , or innkeeper whom they can aspire to right in their living room making the profession inviting and glamorous at the same time.
With the high self esteem of Foodservice personnel everywhere due in part to the constant instant gratification one receives from another meal cooked to perfection , or the gratuity a waiter receives each shift , who wouldn't dream of having their moment of glory in a show of their own or a cameo appearance in one.
One thing is for certain , the opportunities in the Foodservice Industry are limitless now and always will be for as long as there are people on this Earth there will always be someone willing to serve another.

Give Us a Break: The New Working Day and Work-Life Balance
We often hear reports of the costs to British industry of employee sick days, the implication being that we're a nation of skivers. A new survey looking at individual working hours gives us a clue as to why so many people need to take to their beds every few months.
Three quarters of UK business people now regularly work up to an extra three hours a day on top of their contracted hours, according to research carried out by Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts during May 2008. Rising pressure on workers and the impact of new technology means that many now make themselves available to the office 24/7, even during holidays.
So with the traditional nine-to-five becoming obsolete in the white-collar world, what effect is this having on employees and their personal lives? What of the much-hyped work-life balance? Most companies pay lip-service to it in employee handbooks but what is happening in reality?
It seems that personal workloads have increased significantly over the last ten years. The introduction of email, laptops and personal computers, mobile phones, BlackBerries and personal digital assistants (PDAs) means that an employee is always contactable.
Crowne Plaza's survey of more than 1,500 business people in the UK showed that just one fifth of people switch off completely when they leave work and the remainder can't help checking emails when they have left the office. One in three of those questioned make themselves available 24 hours a day.
The report found that 62 per cent of business people have gone to bed with their BlackBerry or mobile phone so they do not miss an important work email or call. And shockingly, a quarter snuggle up with their PDA every night.
Working women work the longest hours if domestic and paid employment are taken into account, a recent study by Cambridge University revealed. The survey of more than 30,000 people for the EU's ongoing European Working Conditions Survey confirmed that most women working part-time or full-time still do the majority of domestic tasks including cleaning, cooking and childcare in addition to long hours at work.
Many business people make the decision to take work home with them so they can spend some precious time with their families. It is now common for men and women to leave the office at a respectable time so that they can have dinner with the children, do bath and bedtime and then settle down to a few hours more work. At least they've got the comfort of their sofa and a nice glass of wine. But is this a healthy lifestyle?
Working long hours often encourages people to turn to caffeine, alcohol and nicotine more than they usually would. Research carried out over the years underlines the risks associated with routinely working long hours. These include tiredness; stress; health problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, depression and diabetes; generally being run-down; lack of interest in sex; and a negative impact on relationships with partners, children, friends and colleagues.
A poll published by the National Sleep Foundation (NSF) in 2007 highlighted the extent of the problem in the United States. It showed that prolonged working days were causing Americans to fall asleep or feel sleepy at work, drive when drowsy and lose interest in sex. According to the Sleep in America survey those questioned spent an average of almost 4.5 hours a week working at home on top of a 9.5 hour average working day.
Crowne Plaza's research showed that people working away from home on business actually considered their hotel room a refuge from work and a place to relax.
"Anyone who works in today's business world knows we all put in more than the now redundant nine-to-five, but doubling your working day is quite shocking," said Chris Hale, spokesperson for Crowne Plaza and IHGA's Vice President Marketing & Communications EMEA.
"For many of us, business travel is a big part of our lives - and longer working hours comes with the territory. But it is also very important to know when to switch off and recharge your batteries.
Airport hotels in particular provide an invaluable escape for business travellers and allow them to relax and recuperate between flights. An overnight stay at an airport hotel helps to remove the temptation to drive when overly-tired. The NSF's poll found that 36 per cent of respondents have nodded off or fallen asleep whilst driving; 32 per cent have driven drowsy once or twice a month; and 26 per cent drive whilst drowsy during the working day.
"Nearly 50 million Americans chronically suffer from sleep problems and disorders that affect their careers, their personal relationships and safety on our roads," said Darrel Drobnich, NSF acting chief executive officer.
"Longer workdays and more access to colleagues and the workplace through the Internet and other technology appear to be causing Americans to get less sleep. Reciprocally, the effects of sleep loss on work performance are costing US employers tens of billions of dollars a year in lost productivity. It's time for American workers and employers to make sleep a priority."
Drobnich makes the point here that employers everywhere should listen to. Allowing employees to do the work of three people may look like value for money in the short-term but the long term effects are less desirable: a damaging long hours culture, with some playing on Facebook at the office until 9pm just to look indispensable; staff feeling unable to take days off when genuinely sick and so spreading infection; employees reluctant to take holidays because of the work they will need to catch up on; stress and conflict in the workplace; impaired work performance; and ultimately huge losses in productivity.
Is it really worth it?

How to Achieve All of Your Goals
More often than not when people learn about all the projects I manage at once, and notice that I actually COMPLETE them... they always ask me the same question, "How do you get all this stuff done?" For me, it boils down to a simple process that I go through every time I set a goal for myself. Whether the goal is to get in better shape (like losing 4 pounds in the last 10 days), launch a new program, create a new website, meet a particular expert or publish a book... the process is always the same.
Now, before I share my process with you, let me assure you that "I" don't get all this stuff done. I do some of it, and my fantastic (and growing) team does the rest. Many people are shocked to find out that I rarely work on Fridays, don't work on weekends and still have plenty of time to go to the gym six times per week, cook for my family and play with my daughter (Hi-Ho-Cherry-O is her favorite game). And, I take at least two vacations a year not including a whole bunch of weekend family trips. For me, this is the only way to run a business... so that it doesn't run you.
Anyway, let's get into my five-step strategy to help you achieve all of your goals:
1. Know WHY You Want To Achieve The Goal.
Any goal worth achieving has to have deep roots in your heart. You've got to know exactly WHY this goal is important to you. Because, let's face it. You'll most likely hit a few stumbling blocks along your way to achieving this goal, and sometimes you may want to quit. But, if you are deeply connected to the reason WHY the goal is important to you, nothing can hold you back.
2. Be Crystal clear About Your Vision.
Once you know WHY you want to achieve the goal, the next step is to enjoy taking some time to clarify your vision of the goals. You want to ingrain your vision into your mind so it is there all the time, no matter what. Especially if you have a bad day, or hit a block, you'll rely on your crystal clear vision to remind you of that which you want to achieve. The more vivid the picture, the more connected you are emotionally to the results you want to achieve, the easier they manifest in your life.
3. Don't Worry About "How"
Ahhhh! This is a good one. HOW is absolutely none of your business! If you ever find yourself up against a big goal and you notice those voices of fear and doubt creeping in to say, "Yeah, but how are you going to do that?" Your job is to ignore them. If you focus on trying to figure out "how"... you will take your focus away from your goal. Remember, what you think about your bring about. Stay focused on the "what" and the "how" will reveal itself to you.
4. Put Yourself In Environments That Support Your Success.
I think this step is my favorite, because I THRIVE on being surrounded by like-minded people who believe in me and my dreams. The best thing about creating supportive environments around you is that they are there to remind you of your greatness. This could mean hiring a coach, participating in a mastermind group, listening to audios that uplift you, etc... these are all environments and a crucial part of the process to achieving all of your goals.
5. Have Faith... and Keep Going.
90% of the time, you"ll find me wearing a ring that says "when you have faith" on the outside, and "all things are possible" on the inside. I wear this ring as a constant reminder that faith is the key to everything. It's impossible (or at least extremely difficult) to achieve your goals when you have no faith in the greater energy of the Universe/God. God wants you to have everything your heart desires... you wouldn't have had the desire if you didn't ALREADY have everything you need to realize it. (As Robert A. Russell says in God Works Through Faith, "the answer precedes the question".) So, above all, have faith and know that if you keep going IN faith, everything you dream of is yours.
I trust that if you follow this five-step process every time you set a goal, you will achieve it. I know it sounds too simple to be true, but I assure you that any goal I've achieved in the past 5 years has been realized by using this process. I wish you much joy as you set (and achieve) your goals!
