Table of Contents Introduction Using Your Own Initiative to Earn Money Marketing Rules Improving your Self-Esteem Steps for Self Starting Taking Things into Your Own Hands You Are in the Driving Seat Challenge Yourself Follow Your Dream Tap Your Potential Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Being in the teaching/training line, as well as in the management line, I have had plenty of opportunities to gauge the abilities of my students as well as my professional team members. During this time I noticed that a large number of people would rather leave everybody else to do their work for them, instead of taking their own initiative and getting the work done. For students, this was acceptable; after all, they had been trained by their parents, and by their teachers to do things a certain way and unfortunately that meant that they were not encouraged to use their own creativity or initiative to think for themselves and make their own decisions. But this was not acceptable in adults, who were afraid to take decisions even in cases of emergencies, because they were scared that their decision would not be accepted by their superiors, who doesn't like initiative and self-starters on their payroll.

Happy Children through Positive Parenting is a parenting book with a difference. It does not tell parents how and when to potty train or when to introduce children to solid food. Instead it argues what really matters is helping children to grow up feeling secure and good about themselves, enabling them to gain positive self-esteem. Knowing and liking yourself is so often the key to success in life - affecting personal relationships, general motivation and success in work. Using key words such as 'praise', 'play', 'time', 'touch' and 'talk' Elizabeth Hartley-Brewer speaks to new and experienced parents alike about what helps children to develop and what blocks progress. No matter how difficult parenting may have seemed in the past, this book offers a clear and simple way forward in the most influential relationship of all - that between parent and child.

Table of Contents How to Help Yourself (or Others) Become a Self-Starter Table of Contents Introduction Starting Young How Important Is Responsible Parenting Qualities Of A Self-Starter External influences Allow a Child His/Her Own Freedom Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Remember, there is absolutely no cut off point for when you begin learning or when you stop learning, based on age. This book is going to tell you a large number of stories, taken from philosophical books, advice and guidance books, and also experiences based on knowledge, extensive reading, practical application, attitude, mental, physical, spiritual, psychological and emotional factors being added, – some of them being personal tales – and so on, about what consists of a self-starter, how you can be a self-starter. Or, how can you make your kid one, from day Go itself. You may notice, I am not using the word Leader, that word has now become rather shabby with its social and political associations in the 20th and 21st century. The same way, “personal integrity and honor” has no locus standii, in today’s cynical world, where it is very easy to put your hand upon your heart and say “on my honor”and expect to be trusted and believed. But every parent out there wants his kid to be a leader. He associates personal, financial, social, national and international success with this particular word. We have thousands of bestsellers out there, teaching you how to become a leader, even if you happen to be a total jellyfish personality wise and behavior wise. It is interesting to know, that none of the writers who have been writing these so-called bestsellers have the time to sit down, during their leadership activities, and get these books ghostwritten by other non-leaders! Or maybe somebody wants to write his own autobiography at the fag end of a successful career in leadership and wants to justify either his actions or wants plenty of approval of the generations which are going to come after him, and decides to write a self glorifying book on what he achieved as a leader. So is he a self-starter?
