Most new traders tend to focus just about all their time and energy on finding nearly perfect “setups”, but trade setups, even very good ones, are *not* the key to successful trading. It’s the *way* you trade your setups that keeps your losses smaller than your gains. And this is the single most essential key to trading success. To me, the process of limiting losses is more than just money management…it is survival.

I can’t give you a list of mechanical survival rules that will take the place of experience and make you a successful trader overnight, but if you stick to the following principles in your trading, you’ll be on track. You’ll be doing just about the opposite of the crowd, and you’ll eventually learn to limit your losses. Limiting your losses is the only way I know to make money in this business.

The following guidelines will sound radical, but they have guided me in making my living from trading for many years.

1. If a trade doesn’t go your way within the first one to five minutes, get out. I usually get out within one or two minutes as soon as my perceived edge is gone.

2. If a trade goes against you in the first few seconds, begin drawing in your hard stop and/ or your target, trying to get out of the trade at break even.

3. Never let your hard stops get hit. When it happens, you may want to take a break and get some fresh air.

4. Hard stops are adjusted to market conditions. At the moment (July 6,2005) I am using 1.50 point hard stops on the SP futures.

5. Never move your hard stop away from your entry point, hoping that a bad trade will turn around.

6. If you find yourself *hoping* as you trade, it is a clear sign that you are not following good survival (money management) principles.

It will be impossible to put these principles together without a set of high-probability setups. Without good setups, trading is just a
flip of the coin.

Marketing strategies come after the objectives and vision
and mission statement and before the action plan and tasks.
The marketing strategy is how you are going to carry out the
objective.

Tasks contain the detail. Tasks are what you want to list
and keep track of in your day timer system not your
marketing plan. Whether that is in Outlook, a Franklin-type
system, or in your electronic appointment system like a Palm
Pilot. It doesn’t matter if you prefer to start with a task
and work your way up into the objective or work from the
objective down. Both should accomplish the same result.

After creating the objectives, and making sure they are
S.M.A.R.T. (specific, measurable, action-oriented and
achievable, realistic, and timely), focus on one and
progress to the Action Plan and Tasks. Completing one at a
time in this manner will expose any gaps or duplicates.

Occasionally, there may be several strategies to one
objective or several objectives for one strategy. If this
occurs look for duplicates. Duplicates say the same thing
in different words. This review will keep the plan clear
and concise.

In my consultant role, I consistently see two mistakes made
during the strategy clarification process. Keep these in
mind as you define yours:

1. Timeframe not considered or matched so that it can
deliver the results desired.

2. Choosing what is comfortable but doesn’t reach a large
enough profitable target market.

Timeframe

Strategies need to be designated as short-term, medium-term,
or long-term. The length of time for each depends on the
business focus, market, and its maturity stage. For a new
business owner, maybe all you can handle is a 3-month plan
— short term. Whereas an established business may state
theirs in longer times: short-term 1 year, medium 3 years,
and long-term 5 years. A mature business may be 3, 5 and
10.

Operating in a 30-day vacuum for too long creates flash
fires that consistently need to be distinguished. When
this occurs the business is running you. At day 31 it’s a
scramble to create the next 30-day plan and the cycle
repeats. After so many of these cycles even the most
patient person will give up on planning.

Balance for a new business will have more short-term
objectives and strategies and less medium and long-term.
This normally occurs because testing and finding what works
is still a big part of their process and the marketing
system is still in flux.

Balance for an established business (5-10 years) would have
more objectives and strategies under medium-term. Whereas a
mature business (ten years up) would be striving for more
smoothness in their long-term strategies except for new
product or service development which begins its heaviest set
of strategies in the short-term.

Choice

Choosing the right strategy isn’t always about setting a
strategy comfortable for the solopreneur. The correct
strategy is one that is right for the prospects. The best
one delivers the results desired. Normally, one that
reaches the market in the fastest and easiest manner using
the least amount of resources.

I hear comments from solopreneurs like this: “I don’t like
to do that.” “I simple can’t possibly do that.” “I refuse
to do that.” “I don’t have the time.” This closed mind
just because its uncomfortable is their saboteur to success.
Afterwards they justify it with, “Money isn’t everything.”
They logically know that its natural to justify any decision
we make but they don’t see the connection. Some figure
this out years later, others never get it and go out of
business, and others finally get themselves to that
comfortable place.

The perfect strategy services both the comfort level and the
broadest market possible so it may deliver the desired
results.

Don’t waste time doing what you are comfortable with that
doesn’t reach a profitable enough market. This wastes
valuable and limited resources and creates failure.

Once you incorporate these important features into your
strategy development you will your plan easier to follow and
implement.

Mountain climbing is a very popular sport. It is very exciting, adventurous and fun, provided you do it the right way. Mountaineering depends on your route, your partner and your level of expertise. Mountain climbing can also be very risky, as much depends on the weather, the mountain, and other conditions.

Being equipped with the right kind of gear is very important for mountain climbing. These days, there is very good equipment for climbing available. The gear is being made to be very durable, strong and light weight.

The main equipment used for mountain climbing includes: shoes/mountaineering boots, gloves, harnesses, ropes, racks, belay devices, locking carabiners, helmets, axes, headlamp, belay devices (sticht plate, ATC, Gri-Gri, Figure Eight), Descenders (figure eight, rescue eight, ATC), Ascenders, protection devices (nuts, hexcenters, spring loaded camming devices), sewn runners, climbing harnesses, climbing screws, pulleys, trekking pole, mountaineering shaft, pitons, haul bag, bouldering mat, holds, books/maps, special pants, and even underwear for rough weather. Other personal items may include: food and water, sunglasses, first aid kit, sun block, extra clothing, camera, tent, cookware, camp stove, sleeping bag/pad, a knife, approach shoes, chalk and chalk bag. Special training equipment for climbing includes: grip savers, fingerboards, campus boards and more.

Climbing gear has to be carefully carried, since it has to stay with you until you reach the top. You can clip some things to your harness, thus keeping the upper part of the body relatively lightweight. However, you may not be able to carry too many things like this, and there is also the chance of losing some of the things on the way. Most climbers use special backpacks that are designed to hold most of the essential things.

There are many providers of mountain climbing equipment. Some of the most popular brands are: Black Diamond, Volcom, Nixon, Oakley, Smith, Spy, The North Face, Nikita, Eagle Creek, Dakine, Mountain Hardwear and others. Climbing equipment has to be certified by the International Federation of Mountaineering Associations (UIAA) and the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). Mountain climbing equipment can also be purchased online.

Climbing Gear provides detailed information on Climbing Gear, Mountain Climbing Gear, Ice Climbing Gear, Rock Climbing Gear and more. Climbing Gear is affiliated with Discount Hiking Gear.

Whether your company holds one meeting a week or dozens of meetings a day it is essential that this time is used efficiently and effectively. Most meetings are less effective than they could be not because they are poorly managed, but because meeting managers spend all of their time focusing on the one or two hours when people will be gathered around the conference table or video screen. Smart meeting managers know that it is the actions you take during the three days immediately before the meeting which are much more important than the meeting itself.

When Your Meeting Starts
The key to making your meeting successful begins long before the scheduled start-time of your meeting. Just as any athlete knows the importance of stretching before exercising, top-level meeting managers know that how you spend your time the week prior to a meeting is as important as or more important than the meeting time itself.

Common signs that a manager has spent too much time focusing on the meeting itself and not enough time focusing on the activity leading up to the meeting include people coming to your meetings unprepared, a few people suggesting many of the ideas, and a consistent pattern of rushing through the items at the bottom of your agenda.

Roger Burns, a 30-year veteran of high-level meetings describes it like this, “Often times the first 20 or 30 minutes of our meetings would be spent with people flipping through the documents I had sent them over a week ago. They had not prepared and had no idea what questions I was going to ask in the next few minutes.”

If you are like many, these symptoms show up more often than not. So what is a meeting manager to do? How can you avoid these common pitfalls? The answer is simple, but it begins a full week before the meeting is scheduled to start.

The Three P’s of Successful Meetings: Preparation, Participation, Prioritization
Although a successful meeting requires a skilled facilitator, that is only part of the puzzle. Equally important is the activity that has occurred prior to the meeting.

The First P: Preparation
Effective use of your meeting time relies on all parties being prepared to participate. This means that each person in attendance has already read the meeting materials prior to the meeting taking place. In addition to this, the meeting participants should be given the questions that are going to be discussed prior to the meeting.

Historically, most meetings begin with the chairperson asking a question to those in attendance. As an example if you were holding a strategic planning meeting, a good question might be, “What do you think are the strengths of our organization?” At this point the discussion moves around the table with each person having two minutes to process the questions, come up with a smart-sounding solution, and express the solution coherently to the group.

The problem with this method is that most good ideas do not come in those two minutes. Good ideas come as you are driving to work, as you are falling asleep, as you are in the shower - the very times you are probably not with your co-workers in a meeting. (Unless you are routinely holding your meetings in the company locker room!) Giving the questions you are going to ask to each meeting participant prior to the meeting is essential to getting the best ideas out of your participants. It also gives them a reason to read the materials you have distributed prior to the meeting.

The best time to distribute the materials and questions is three to seven days prior to your meeting. This gives participants a chance to think about the issues and questions, but not long enough to forget their good ideas and why they liked them. The payback here is fast and obvious. You will get more accomplished in less time - saving your organization money and allowing you to get your ideas implemented faster.

The Second P: Participation
Getting the best ideas from your best people is essential for your meeting to be successful. The other half of this equation is to get a broad base of participation so there is ownership in the solution rather than resentment.

If these two elements are so important to successful meetings, why is it so rare that they happen simultaneously? The first reason it rarely happens is because your best idea people are often your busiest people. More times than not these high-value people who are like popcorn machines full of ideas are already scheduled for other meetings when you choose your meeting times. Although it is sometimes possible to reschedule your meeting to meet their availability, it is impossible to adjust every time and for every need.

The second reason you rarely get your best idea people to participate and have a wide base of ownership at the same time has to do with the dynamic within meetings. Each person within your organization is wired differently and for every person who is comfortable expressing and advocating for ideas in a meeting there are others who do not have this gift. For those who are good at verbal maneuvering, gaining support at a meeting is like a sport. For those who feel less comfortable in this environment advocating a position can feel like torture. Clearly a venue is needed to allow everyone a chance to participate in the solution in a way that is non-threatening, democratic and builds ownership directly into the process.

Do not underestimate the value of this increased participation. Ideas, initiatives and even directives that are viewed as having a broad base of support are implemented faster and with a higher level of quality. In addition to this, you do get better ideas when more people participate - especially when the people participating are those closest to the action not those incubated in their executive offices. All of this helps you innovated faster than the competition, get to market quicker with your ideas, and win the battle of consistent quality.

The Third P: Prioritization
In a perfect world we would have unlimited time in each day to get everything done. Unfortunately we live on the clock each and every day. Too often our meetings are crammed full of agenda items placed there in the order they showed up on our desk or the order we jotted them down on a yellow sticky note while on the phone, with no level of importance or urgency.

The best meeting managers understand that all items on an agenda do not deserve equal weight, and they prioritize the issues starting with the most urgent. This allows your best minutes to be dedicated to your most important items.

Unfortunately the priorities of the leader are not always the priorities of the team. There are many times when the rank and file have a burning issue that has completely slipped past the management. Effective meeting leaders have a system in place to identify and address just such issues.

The benefit of having such a system in place is increased productivity in your most vital areas. By focusing everyone’s attention on the issues which are most important to your success you will quickly see a decrease in non-value added activity and increased profitability for your efforts.

A New Set of Tools
Now that we have switched our focus from the one hour meeting around to the full week leading up to a meeting - a whole new set of tools needs to be added to your toolbox.

There are a multitude of tools already present and accounted for to help you with the actual meeting: from flip charts to electronic white boards, from video-conferencing to the latest collaboration software allowing a group of people edit a document from locations around the world, companies have kept up-to-date with a variety of e-meeting solutions.

One tool new to this market sector is ehuddle. Ehuddle is an internet-based tool used by companies pre-meeting and post-meeting to increase the effectiveness of meetings. Initiated by a simple email to meeting participants, ehuddle let’s everyone who is invited to the meeting see the questions that are going to be asked, brainstorm possible answers, and evaluate a list of possible solutions. All of this activity happens in the days leading up to the meeting ensuring that participants are prepared for the meeting - having already thought about the important issues and evaluated each other’s possible solutions.

Ehuddle utilizes a proprietary online format that is anonymous and democratic. This not only allows members of your committee who could not make the meeting to give input, it also creates an environment where no one is afraid to suggest ideas. Ownership is built into the process because everyone has had a hand in evaluating each solution.

Smart meeting managers are even using tools like ehuddle to set a portion of the agenda. By letting rank and file members of any group to brainstorm and rank issues that are important to them, the agenda automatically reflects the needs of the organization.

The return on investment for tools like ehuddle is quickly realized. Managers recognize the money lost in non-optimized meetings, low levels of participation, and distracted activity. Couple this with the increased productivity, quicker issue identification and resolution, and faster time-to-market the tool brings and you will quickly see that this is money well spent.

Utilizing this full set of tools prior to a meeting allows the leader to walk into the conference room or video-conference confident that the groundwork has been laid for a successful meeting.

In surprisingly short supply, consider some ways to increase personal confidence.

What makes self-confidence in a leader important? Without it, a leader cannot embrace change or take on difficult assignments. With it, a leader has a presence that helps her to “stand out”, strengthen and support others in order to multiply leadership. Strong leaders with high self-confidence do not hesitate to move forward and make important decisions immediately without fear of the outcome. People are watching, and a leader who shows lack of self-confidence is considered weak.

So how to cope with a lack of self-confidence?

Some leaders may attempt to fake their way through it.

Effective leaders have learned the importance of the following:

• Focus on personal and organizational strengths: traditional leadership development programs have focused on gaps. With the advent of positive psychology and some of the work of the Gallup organization, this is changing. Consider your strengths and the gaps will take care of themselves.

• Be willing to be relentless in decision-making, face the consequences and move on: Not making decisions or second-guessing is a sure-fire way to continue to wallow in low self-esteem. Taking action provides the confidence needed to make subsequent decisions.

• Learn from mistakes: since mistakes are inevitable, change your thinking from “what went wrong?” to “how can I learn from what went wrong?”

• Celebrate the outcomes: how often do we do this? An often neglected activity, learn to celebrate in the way that works best for you and your team. Even less than perfect outcomes should be celebrated with emphasis on what went right.

• Make sure you surround yourself and rely on smart people: enough said.

• Find someone you can confide in, reflect with, and do it regularly (schedule it).

Where do you find someone to confide in? Finding a confidante may be the hardest to act on. Vulnerability must be admitted to ask for help. Aren’t leaders supposed to have all the answers? Why would they need someone to confide in? Leaders don’t have all the answers (just like anyone … ) and making the time to confide and reflect assists in clarifying situations and finding the answers - leading to increased self confidence.
You may find a colleague that is an exceptional non-judgmental listener - perhaps you have a friend or relative who will fit the bill. Hiring a coach trained in the skill set of coaching may be the best answer.

Have you spent years envying those who take cruises to Alaska or the Bahamas while you’re stuck at home or driving to Florida? Well, now is the time to take action. Cruises aren’t just for the rich anymore; they’re for everyone!

Cruise lines have dropped their prices low enough that just about anyone who wants to go can save enough to take a cruise.

Although you might look at the prices for cruises online or at your local travel agency, and think I’m crazy. It really is possible. The great thing about a cruise is that one price pays for everything.

All your meals are included, and food is available constantly throughout the day! In my opinion, anywhere that feeds you well is always worth the price. However, if you happen to disagree, just start adding up how much you spend on food during a normal family vacation. Likely, you spend more than what the cruise is charging you.

If you are still not quite convinced that a cruise is for you, consider the fact that you won’t have to spend any time waiting in traffic when you’re on a boat. Nor will you have to spend hours driving to get to a great destination.

Instead of spending a lot of time cooped up in the car, the entire length of your cruise will be spent having fun together. No “Mommy, are we there yet?” just good old fashioned fun in the sun!

The real test of whether a cruise is for you is to decide what it will really cost in both time and money. Sometimes it is better to pay more up front in order to have more quality time to spend with your family. I discovered this to be true when I went on my first cruise. I wasn’t really excited about it at first because of the price; however, after a week on a cruise, I was a convert!

My experience went something like this: “I don’t want to pay all that money….. Well, I guess we could…. Now, THIS is what I’m talking about!”

For a whole seven days, I didn’t have to cook or clean or even make up the beds. There were maids and professional chefs there to do it for me.

Not once did I have to pull the kids away from the television, because there were so many fun shows and outdoor events that I had to beg them to come inside occasionally.

For one whole week, I was a queen. If only all of life was like a cruise…

As many fitness machinery are becoming very popular nowadays, and people start to buy pieces of equipment for their homes, treadmills are also finding their ways into people’s lives. Unfortunately, not all of them are exactly best products; as a matter of fact, many treadmills on the market are not that good. Cheap treadmills indeed, are not always a good bargain, especially if the health becomes a victim of that. Of course, there are many inexpensive treadmills that make great deals, keeping the quality high, but with lower prices. In these cases, everything is fine and there should not be major worries.

The problems with cheap treadmills is when they are literally cheap, in other words, made out of secondary materials and easy to break and fall apart, especially during your work session, creating a danger, as you can fall and hurt yourself really bad. Another major aspect in buying cheap treadmills is the fact that they don’t always monitor your cardiovascular activity as they should, jeopardizing the health of your heart, not to mention that if the running is not smooth and proper, the knees can also be seriously damaged. Therefore, watch carefully what you buy and don’t go just for the low price.

The battle of the WBC Super Welterweight Crown promises to be an exciting crash between Oscar de la Hoya and Ricardo Mayorga. De la Hoya will be looking for glory once again but the element that will make the fight more exciting is the fact that they are so opposite in the way they fight. What rises doubt is whether the Golden Boy can o cannot beat his opponent’s ways. He will be facing a boxer that has little consideration for his opponents, and his careless style has benefited him in the past take as an example when he fought Andrew Lewis, Vernon Forrest but not always a plus like when he fought Tito Trinidad. Once thing is for sure, we are going to have a fun time finding it out.

De La Hoya is coming off a long period of forced inactivity when he was knocked out in the 9th round when fighting Bernard Hopkins in September of 2004. And coming off such a devastating defeat, many wonder if he will be able to stand up to the free-swinging WBC Champion.

De La Hoya has being doing more of the traditional work out program; he is looking for a regimen not only for this fight but something that will lead him back to victory. This fight is important for De la Hoya if he wants to pursue the world championship again and retire as one.

The feeling is mixed as to if Oscar can be successful against the Nicaraguan wild man. Many believe Oscar should easily out box Mayorga, but there are others who believe the former Welterweight champion will have too much power for the Golden Boy.

There is a bit confusion between these points and the direct consequence from this confusion is that sometimes fibromyalgia gets blamed on pain symptoms that are actually caused by trigger points and vice versa.

Either way it’s the patients who will lose, as the treatments they get aren’t going to help to the problems they have.

Even the foremost experts’ make regular mistakes with these terms and unintentionally add to the confusion.

Because of this, I believe some clarifications are in order.

Clarifications

Trigger points refer to myofascial trigger points, hyper contracted knots in a taunt band, basically tender lumps in muscles that cause localised pain.

Tender points refer to diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia, they are just pre-decided spots which are used to identify increased total body sensitiveness to pain, which is one of the major indicators for fibromyalgia.

They have nothing to do with trigger points, but because some of these tender points appear in close proximities of common trigger points, it’s easy even for doctors to get confused.

Patient’s focus

Because doctors will deal with the diagnostics side of things, they will handle the tender points.

Basically as a fibromyalgia or chronic pain patient, only points you need to be aware of are trigger points.

Although not all fibro patients suffer from TrPs, it’s estimated that about 70% fibro patients suffer also from TrPs.

It’s thought that fibromyalgia tends to aggravate and aid in creation of trigger points, which in turn cause even more pain.

Let’s simplify thing and say that pain causes trigger points, and that the higher sensitiveness to pain makes fibro patients get them more often.

That’s why it’s especially important to people with fibro to know how to deal with them, because it’s very likely that some of their pain symptoms are direct result from aggravated trigger points.

TrPs - what are they and how to handle them

Basically trigger points are hyper contracted muscle cells that cause localised pain usually a little far from the actual TrPs spot.

For example trigger point in quadriceps muscles could cause knee pain, and TrPs in upper back could cause neck pain, or even pain that mimics migraines or headaches.

The good news is that you can get rid of them and the pain that they cause just by massaging them, as pressure will cause them to regain their normal state of contraction.

And the really good news is that do to the studies of doctors Travell and Simons we know pretty much all the possible places were trigger points can form, and the individual pain patterns that they cause.

Fibro

Basically treating TrPs when you have fibro doesn’t differ from treating them from a regular bloke; just that you need to find a way to do the massage without aggravating your fibro.

The only way to find the right balance for it is trough personal experience.
