  Excerpt from  Understanding the Entrepreneur  by Quinelle - Chapter 7 The Entrepreneur at School The Entrepreneur at school is not all that different from the Entrepreneur at home. Where the Entrepreneur is the teacher, the relationship is not that dissimilar from that of a parent. Where the Entrepreneur is a student, the relationship is not all that different from that of being a child.* The Entrepreneur as Teacher The Entrepreneur can make a marvelous teacher for the Entrepreneur student if the teacher remembers that while they themselves are natural leaders, so are their Entrepreneur students. Therefore, they must rein in their innate tendencies to lead and provide opportunities for their Entrepreneur students to lead. Not the parlayer of rules and regulations by nature, like the Seeker teacher, the Entrepreneur teacher looks to find ways to help students understand the underlying systems behind phenomena, the reasons behind rules, and the supporting theories behind...

  Excerpt from Understanding the Entrepreneur  (Quinelle) -  The Socionic Entrepreneur and the MBTI ENTJ The socionic Entrepreneur is a TIE. This nomenclature stands for an Intuitive Thinking Extrovert who is Rational. (The order of the letters, discussed later, represents the Rational, rather than the Irrational, typology.) For those familiar with the MBTI, the closest type to the Entrepreneur would be the ENTJ, the Extraverted (note MBTI spelling), Intuitive, Thinking, Rational type. The ENTJ in the MBTI, and especially as defined by Keirsey and Bates (1984), is a leader type. (In Keirsey’s system of metaphors, the ENTJ is a field marshal.) In socionics, there are some small differences between the ENTJ and the Entrepreneur, which may become evident to those familiar with the MBTI later in this book as the various characteristics of the Entrepreneur personality type are discussed. It is not at all required to know the MBTI in order to understand socionics. In fact,...

  Pregnancy reshapes the body in ways that are both astonishing and unpredictable. Muscles stretch, balance shifts, energy rises and falls in waves. In the middle of all that change, movement can become one of the most stabilizing forms of self‑care— not as a performance metric, but as a way of staying connected to your own strength. Staying active during pregnancy is generally encouraged, but every pregnancy is different. A healthcare professional who knows your medical history is the best person to help you understand what’s appropriate for you. Within that boundary, there is a wide landscape of ways to move that support comfort, stamina, and emotional steadiness. Why Movement Matters During Pregnancy Circulation improves , helping reduce swelling and stiffness. Core and back muscles stay engaged , which can ease the postural strain of a growing belly. Mood stabilizes , thanks to the endorphin lift that even gentle activity can bring. Sleep quality often improves , especi...

  excerpt from Girl, You've Got Thi s by Brittany Renz -  Introduction   I have a 24-hour cancellation policy.   When I first started my work as a personal trainer, I was single and had two clients I would meet up with at a local park because I didn’t have a studio space. Cancellations at that point weren’t such a big deal. “Oh, you can’t make it today? What about tomorrow around 3? Great, see you then!”   In the past four years, that’s changed. I am married with one kid and another on the way, and I am booked. When I say ‘booked,’ I mean I am still a one-person team (unless you count my two-year-old daughter as my assistant), and I have 76 clients. I work seven days a week from 6 a.m. to as late as 9 p.m. Now when someone cancels last minute, it means:   1) It isn’t easy to reschedule, and 2) Another client could have filled that spot, and        now I won’t make that money.   So, what do I do w...
