Overcoming barriers and challenges.
Generally we have 3 types of barriers: - Personal - Logistical and - Our support team. How to overcome each one of these, is crucial to every individual's success both on a personal and or a group level in whatever industry one finds oneself. Identifying, analyzing, refocusing, redistributing and regrouping the persceived barrier. These are some of the greatest keys geared to thriving will ensure our road to success.
Embracing Green Energy and making it work.
Since the begining of this centuary, we have seen alot investment in renewable energy. However, we have not seen our energy bills decrease nor has our oil consumption. so what went wrong? Understanding the electrical grid, multiple interconnected power plants, intermittent renewable energy, the nature of alternating current and green energy politics is the key to a successful transition from conventional energy dependence.
The Winning Plan (Living our best).
According to Abraham Maslow, every individual deserves the right to live to his/her fullest potential. Defining: Fullest potential, this includes; - The right to contribute - Socialize - Learn - Travel and - Explore the very essence of life itself. Regardless of challenges, barriers or third party opinions; this goal is readily attainable through the development of one's inner strength.
