One reason I have achieved so much in my own career is that I’ve taken shortcuts. For example, I played professional beach volleyball without learning how to play indoor sixes very well—I can really only play doubles, which is what people play on the sand. But it allowed me to skip a lot of years of indoor volleyball training and still play pro.

I'm always fascinated by people who find shortcuts. Tim Ferriss is a shortcut taker, but he totally annoys me because he pretends his shortcuts don't mean he still had to do hard work. One of the reasons I was initially attracted to the Farmer is that he is good at knowing what shortcuts to take and he values hard work.

Just last week, in fact, he moved his pigs to a new barn, where they will be able to mix with the cattle herd. It's not something anyone in our area does, but he had a hunch it would work, and now he manages one herd instead of two. I love that I'm learning the rules of farming by watching the Farmer cut corners.

In lists of the most common New Year’s resolutions, most are career-related. So I thought I’d take a look at the most common things people tell me they want to do, and I’d tell you shortcuts to getting to that goal. Because I'm pretty good at learning the rules and then figuring out how to work around them. This still means you have to do some hard work, of course, but it's a smarter way to spend your energy and still get to what you want.

Goal: Get a book deal
First of all, I'm not convinced that people need to get a book deal. That said, if you want to get a book published, don’t write the book until you write the proposal. That’s how you get a book deal – from a ten-page proposal, not an actual book. So here’s what you should do: Write a proposal and if you don’t get a book deal from it, write another. It’s a lot easier to write ten proposals to get one book deal than to write a book that no one bids on. And, if you don’t invest tons of time in one, single proposal then you won’t feel bad if you find out the proposal sucks. Because you’ve got another in the hopper. Here are tips from my agent on how to get a six-figure book deal.

Goal: Sell your company
You don’t actually need to have a big exit. You just need to build something and then, well, sort of give it away. Because the idea of “selling a company” is actually just the idea that you build something that someone else wanted. Sure, million would be great. But so few people get that much money for their company. It’s much more common to get somewhere around 0,000 when all is said and done.

And yes, that’s a lot of money, but you’d probably still work after that size exit, and you’d probably change very little in your life. The value would be that you built something that someone wanted. So sell your company by finding someone who can use what you’ve built and will give you a small, token fee () but a good job at the company. You can use that staff position as a break while you figure out what company to do next. And maybe you'll start a company and sell it all over again.

Goal: Change careers
You’re going to need to show you’ve done the new job before you can get the new job. It’s not fair, I know. But it’s how the world works. So just make up a job, do it, and then put it on your resume. You don’t need pay or permission to do the job you want. Just start doing it. And if you already have the job you want on your resume, you’re much more likely to get hired for the job you want.

Are you worried about being exposed as a fake in an interview? First of all, there’s not a law that says you can’t have unpaid jobs on your resume. And you can have freelance jobs. So that’s what a made-up job is: freelance, for free. And then keep at it so that when an interviewer wants to talk about this job and what you gained from doing it, you will look great. Because you’ll say you made the job up, to get yourself experience, and here’s what you did, and here’s what you learned, and you’ll look like a self-starter and a results-oriented super-performer. Because only that sort of someone would make up a job and then do it to gain experience.

Goal: Skip entry-level drudgery
Start a blog. Think of a blog like a high-end resume. Most peoples’ resumes are a list of the jobs they’ve done that never show how you bring great ideas wherever you go. A blog, on the other hand, is a list of your ideas. You tell the world your opinions regarding your industry or interest. If you have good ideas, people will start listening. But you have to keep writing, to keep trying to find your niche and the audience for your niche. When you get the influencers in your industry to read you, then you become a respected voice in the arena. And that’s your ticket to a beyond-entry-level job because people who listen to you will also be willing to help you get a job. (Want to get a jump-start on your blog? Try Blogging Bootcamp.)

Goal: Launch a consumer product
Don’t sell the product direct to consumers. That’s the hard route because you have to build your own sales channel. Instead just make a prototype and sell it to retail buyers. Those buyers have a lot more power than a single consumer. And if your core-competency is product design, then you don’t want to spend all your time marketing to consumers. So get the prototype done and if you have no bites, then make another prototype and try again.

This will make your failure cycle go fast, which is one of the key factors in finding huge success. It’s rare to have a big win on your first try. But it’s universal that the way to get through failure is to keep trying when other people would stop.

Goal: Become a writer
People ask me about this goal more than any other. And here's my advice: Just write. No one can write more than three hours a day. And most of us can find an extra three hours to do what we love. You are already a writer. No one has to give you permission to do what you love.

Of course, this is the problem with most New Year's resolutions – that the only thing between us and our goals is self-discipline.

You don’t.

After thinking about this all day, I’ve decided as of right now (who knows if this will ever change) that there’s no way to give a man constructive criticism. Any form of criticism to a man from his woman is always viewed negatively.

All About Men

A man’s exterior may be very strong. He may appear very capable, and in many ways he is. But a man’s ego is very fragile. He can take constructive criticism from his boss, his mother, his grandmother, his buddy, but for some reason, when he hears it from his woman, it feels like a punch in the gut, like he’s somehow failed in a very terrible way.

A Woman’s Powerful Role

This is a hard position to be in if you’re a man’s significant other. You see, a man will never say this, but his woman holds the MOST power in determining how he views himself. This is partly because he cares about your opinion MORE than anybody else in the world.

It is also because he knows deep down that you are the one person in the world who knows him through and through, the good, the bad, and the very ugly. He knows everyone else just gets parts of him, but you get all of him. So when you say something negative, instead of it just coming across as some random person giving some random piece of criticism, he’s more likely to see it as the ultimate truth of who he is as a man.

The Question That Plagues EVERY Man

Basically, he has this question that needs to be answered. I think I read this from the book, Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge, (I highly recommend this to all women! If you don’t have time to read, get the book on tape and listen to it on your daily commute:)

Anywho, the question that plagues a man his entire life is this:

    “Do I have what it takes to be a man?”

Everywhere he goes, everyone he comes in contact with, answers this question in the negative or the positive based on how they interact with him, based on if he feels that he is respected.

If he has guy friends who dig his company, they are reinforcing the “yes” to that question. If their boss says nice things about their work, it also gives him more reinforcement.

But, like I said, NONE of that matters really if a man comes home and doesn’t get that “yes” from his wife or girlfriend because her opinion is the one that truly matters.

So, I state this very important fact that a woman has THAT much power. Her words can truly, truly build him up to believe he is a respectable man and he “has what it takes,” or it can truly crush his spirit to the point where he goes out into the world failing at everything else just because the most important person doesn’t bring him up.

Okay, so, now back to constructive criticism.

I just wouldn’t do it. Guys have this ego thing where they really want to figure things out for themselves. They have to feel like a change is their idea.

Check out how this wife does it: (starting at 5:20)

She makes him think it’s his idea, and she gives him the credit. Wise woman.


First Method: Diversion

If you ever tell a man he has a stupid idea, he doesn’t hear that it’s a stupid idea. He hears that you think he’s stupid.

It may well be a truly stupid idea, mind you, but you never have to tell him that… (ahh to protect his fragile ego, as he protects our fragile hearts– they get their egos bruised easily in the same way a woman gets her feelings hurt easily)

If he tells you a stupid idea, and you call him out on it, he’s going to feel like his efforts for thinking of ideas are wasted. He’s going to lose motivation to keep trying to come up with ideas. So even though you didn’t call him stupid, only the idea, he reads it differently. It doesn’t matter if someone thinks that their criticism is constructive. What matters is how it’s viewed by the recipient.

What do you do instead?

You divert.

Baby, hmmm… I’m not sure…What do you think about this?

This way, you’re still giving the message “I value your opinion (“what do you think…”) but you’re not squashing his idea.

Second Method: Focusing on Your Feelings

It’s important not to avoid conflict, and it’s important that your man know how you feel, so if you’re dealing with something that involves an action you want changed, the key is to bring up the subject without focusing on his action. The key is to focus on your reaction to his action.

For example, the other night my friend was telling her boyfriend how she found the cause of her lamp turning off. She had switched off the GFCI outlet where her blowdryer was and the whole wall switched off.

Without any malice he said, “I told you not to do that.”

He was just trying to make the point that he remembered them already agreeing that they wouldn’t turn off the switch.

He didn’t realize it came across hurtful to her. She immediately took it as being scolded. How she read it was different than what he intended. Typically in a relationship, intentions are always good, but sometimes the good intention is lost in translation. It was a misunderstanding.

How a Woman Wants to Respond

If you feel attacked, typically a woman’s immediate reaction is to attack back. “Well, you don’t have to be so rude!” or “Well, exCUSE me! You don’t have to get an attitude!” or “I’m not your child! Don’t talk to me like that!” In addition, the volume also escalates…

and nothing makes a man feel more disrespected than a woman yelling at him.

In all of these reactions, the focus is on the man:

    “Well, you don’t have to be so rude!”

    “Well, exCUSE me! You don’t have to get an attitude!”

    “I’m not your child! (You) Don’t talk to me like that!”

How a Woman Can Respond by Focusing on her Feelings

So, my suggestion is instead of focusing on his action, (in this case the retorts are making the assumption that he meant to be “rude,” meant to “have an attitude” or meant to “treat you like a child.”) focus on how you felt in the situation.

This way, you are not making any assumptions and giving him the benefit of the doubt that his intentions were pure. (which in most cases this is true)

So, when her boyfriend said that to her, she looked at him and sadly said,

“I feel scolded.”

And her eyes started to water, because she’s like most women who get their feelings hurt easily.

Why This Method Works for Men

Telling a man how you feel does more than telling him what he’s doing wrong. It does more than pointing out his errors in judgement. It does more than giving him constructive criticism.

Why is this the case?

Because deep down, every man wants to be his woman’s hero. If he really truly loves you and cares for you, the last thing he wants to do is hurt you. So by sharing your feelings (how you’re hurt), his masculine response is to rush to your aid, to be your protector, to shelter you from pain, especially if that pain is caused by him.

So instead of him feeling disrespected, he feels useful and needed. Instead of his ears tuning out (that sometimes starts to happen with nagging and yelling) he’s all ears, ready to listen to every word you say.

A Man Needs to Feel Like a Leader in the Home

Also, know that no matter how “modern” your man is, no matter how pro-feminism he is, even if he views you as his equal, he still wants to feel like he has some kind of leadership in your relationship. Not in the sense that he wants to domineer over you, but in the sense that he feels like you trust his opinions.

Roles of People in a Relationship = Roles of People in a Car

You see, the roles of people in a relationship are like the roles of people in a car. The difference between passenger and driver isn’t about equality, it’s about different roles. Relationships, like cars, only have room for one driver. One leader. The passenger may help navigate, but ultimately, the passenger has to trust the driver to make the decision. Ultimately the driver has the last say.

I truly believe that relationships with this dynamic of man as driver and woman as passenger work best. One of my friends doesn’t agree with this “guy has the last say” method. I asked her, “Well, what if you both disagree on a major decision and you have to make that decision? Who will have the last say?”

Her response was, “We just won’t make that decision.” And don’t think that’s really realistic. There will come a point in every relationship where you will not agree on something, and both of you will feel equally strong about your reasons, and either the woman or the man has to yield.

An Example from My Parents

For example, when I was young, my parents disagreed on whether my mom should go to the United States as an RN during the big nurse draft in the 80′s. If she went, my parents knew they could provide a better future for us here. But, it would mean that my mom would be apart from my dad and me for 2-3 years while my dad worked on getting his visa. She didn’t want to leave me at 3 years old and be separated from me for that long at such a crucial bonding time in my childhood.

This is an example of a decision that HAD to be made. She would have to go and let my dad have the last say, or she would stay and my dad would have to yield.

By deciding to go, she was giving the message to my dad: “I don’t agree, BUT I trust you to lead our family.”

Giving a man your trust is a way of telling him that you respect him.

Third Method: Changing Your Statements Into Questions

There are ways of usurping his leadership. If you say, “We’re not doing that,” you’re in fact sending the message, “I’m the leader here. You can step down and I’ll take over from here because you’re not doing your job well.”

Instead, you can say, “Can we not do that?” The question version invites him into the team, telling him, “I’m not digging the idea but I won’t force my opinion unless you’re on board.” Ultimately it’s reassuring him: “Your opinion still matters.” The first phrase says, “Your opinion doesn’t matter. I’m doing this with or without you.”

So readers, I’ve rambled on and on long enough. Are there any other situations where diversion, focusing on your feelings or changing statements into questions do not apply?

Love to hear!

No parent can evade challenges that come with traveling with toddler. Though this is the case, parents have the responsibility of making the kid comfortable amidst all these chaos while traveling. Understand that traveling with this kid will mean you obtain an infant passport for the anticipated hectic travel. For any minor journeying into or out of the United States, it is obligatory that he possess a passport. An informative overview on how to obtain infant pass port is provided here.

Infant Passport

Understand that you will obtain an infant passport as you do that of an adult as the procedure is the same. Getting forms to fill from the immigration offices will be the first stride in the journey of getting your kid a passport. Though time consuming, it can easily be obtained if you make of commitment of doing it once and for all. These forms can be completed online or you can get one from any traveling agency. You can even get U.S. passport expedite services.

US Citizenship

Verifying that the little one is a US citizen is the next thing to be done. This is done by providing a birth certificate for the baby or a naturalization certificate if its birth happened outside United States of America. All other important documents should be provided together with the certificate that proves citizenship.

Other Documents

You have to provide official passport photographs of your child that has to be of the specified measurement. They have to be two in number measuring 2 by 2 inches. It is worth noting that only photos taken by certified professional photographer are accepted. Your photos risk rejection if this rule is not adhered to. If you do not need it urgently, you will accompany these documents with fees of application.

Parental Relationship

The other “must do” thing is submission of documents proving parental relationship to the infant. With the high rates of child trafficking, the government has taken such steps to ensure that no child is smuggled inside or outside the US. Among the documents needed as proof include a court order establishing custody of the child, parent’s identification and the child’s birth certificate bearing both parents names.

Parental Acknowledgement

Parental consent acknowledging issuance of the passport is required before the documents can be approved. This is an important requirement and should be provided even if the child has single parent. In such cases, a note of authorization should be given from the other parent if still alive. In cases where one parent is deceased, a death certificate should be provided or a court order allowing sole custody.

Renewal

It is also important to understand that the traveling documents for children are valid for five years after which they expire. The mentioned procedures must be followed if the documents are to be renewed. In both occasions, children must be presented for approval of the documents. However, they must be accompanied by the parents.

In a relationship, specifically in marriage, troubles occur which lead to broken families. Indeed, there maybe changes in the wedded life, but the couple will still have their humanity. Couples can make mistakes in their relationship. Heck, some couples believe that their marriage have been a mistake in the first place! As a result of this, the relationship of the couples are threatened with various issues. Due to these problems, some relationships will end up in divorce.

In reality, divorce proceeding is very complicated. The sole thing that makes divorce much more complicated isn’t the feelings nor the separation but it’s the assets of the couples. Why is it complicated? Who will own what and which item, becomes difficult because couples would probably fight for the assets they want. Be it the house they lived in, the cars they drive or the money they’ve saved, couples will fight over it. Like in movies or TV series, couples will also fight over the basic items they’ve inside the house.

Could It Be possible to have a less complicated division of assets in divorce proceedings? Research will be necessary in divorce proceedings, particularly in dividing assets. In fact, one will know which are the real assets and the assets hidden by partners. The bad thing about dividing assets is that, couples would probably lie and cheat simply to keep or gain the assets they want.

Couples may have various assets to divide with, however the most vital thing to look at are the banking assets. including the Toronto family lawyers. It’s natural for any couple to maintain a bank account. No matter what kind of banking account it is, it has to be checked. Ask your divorce lawyer Toronto for further information. To prevent confusion, every banking asset has to be legally supported by important documents.

Aside from banking accounts, the salary, bonuses, stocks or shares of both parties has to be represented. Even if the person is required to pay the taxes or is tax-exempted, it has to have supporting papers to document it. Vacations, trips, or any costly spending has to be researched. Couples should never fail to make a research about pricey collection pieces. Most of all, there has to be reports on any loans or legitimate debts.

Before one could get their hands on the records, it may take a lot of time and preparations. It will depend on how fast was it to uncover all the assets. Of all assets, the bank accounts must have all the necessary information, statements and data to easily track it. By having the necessary data about bank accounts, it will be simple to check if there are any sudden changes like huge withdrawals. It’s also important that the Toronto divorce lawyer will verify every single information. With the help of the research, a simpler and less troubling divorce is not impossible.

The latter half of our talk will center on a few highly relevant issues as they concern your possible situation. You dont have to necessarily avoid drinking; however, you need to know your limits. Most father of the brides or best men would like to regail the group with an embarrassing story from the past. That could be disastrous. It could not only embarass the couple but even put your friendship under strain. The happy couple does not want to hear about a drunken weekend at the beach or what happened in Vegas. The best way to make a memorable speech is to focus on the loving relationship of their couple and narrate incidents that show their love for each other. Complementing the couple on their new beginning and how they match each other is a wonderful thing to speak about. You can quote incidents from their first date or even on how they met each other. All these things are totally appropriate and interesting. You can also include good wishes for their future and their family.

Bumbling through the speech or missing out on facts that are considered important for the bride or groom can damage your speech as well as your friendship. The best way to ensure the success of your speech is to prepare for it well in advance, instead of noting points on a napkin, few minutes before you are due for your speech. Keep a notepad handy so you can add points that you might consider are important to the couple. Being succint in your speech not only makes it interesting but also a memorable one. Allocate equal time in your speech for both the bride and the groom. It is a sure fire way to make the bride or groom angry is alienate one of them in your speech. You canot just speak about the groom or the bride and leave the other one out. You can ask questions to their parents for a memorable cute, and appropriate story about them that you could include or maybe just touch on. The wedding speech needs to be personalized and heartwarming, so that it becomes one of the most memorable moments on their special day.

    The amount of facts and content concerning best wedding speech overwhelms a lot of people when they start researching it.

        Children are becoming more frequent international travelers, either with their parents or for school trips. The better time to get a U.S. passport for kids is before they’ll actually need one. Since you’re the child’s parents, it’s your responsibility to make the application and get it done properly.

        New Standards

        For these purposes, a kid is anyone who is not yet sixteen years old. Even for minors who already have their travel document, if it expires before they reach age sixteen, this is still the process that you’ll have to follow for them. The requirements of proof have gotten more stringent recently with the federal government increasing the safeguards against international child trafficking.

        Citizenship

        Your first step will be to get documentation that your child is indeed a US citizen. If you have a certified copy of your child’s long form birth certificate,this will do. If you don’t, you can also present a certificate of naturalization, certification of birth abroad, report of birth abroad or their current valid US passport.

        Child’s Legal Guardians

        You will also have to prove that you are in fact the child’s parents or legal guardian. To do this, you’ll have to provide a legal document naming you as parents. If your names are listed on the long form birth certificate as the parents or any of the documents that can show citizenship, this will be acceptable. If this is the case, you can use the single document to prove both citizenship of your child and your legal relationship. If you don’t have any of these documents, you can use an adoption decree or court order that establishes custody or guardianship.

        Parental Consent

        The federal government will also want confirmation that both parents consent to the application. If both parents are legally responsible for the child, the requirements to show consent may be different. There is a table you can consult online that will detail the types of parental consent required if one or neither of the parents has legal custody.

        Authorized Passport Office

        Whatever the family situation, at least one parent or the legal guardian must be present with the child to make the application at an authorized US passport agency. You’ll also need a filled out form of federal form DS-11, which you can get from any number of online sites. However, as the parent, you can’t sign this form before arriving or it won’t be valid. It can only be signed in front of the acceptance agent.

        Federal Forms

        The DS-11 anticipates that both parents will be at the application appointment and sign the form there. However, if only one parent can be with the child,then you’ll also have to provide federal form DS-3053.
