Ever since the Industrial Revolution, it feels as if we are exponentially moving faster each and every day. Technology was supposed to help us slow life down by making us more efficient but what has it really done?
Are you feeling like a hamster on a wheel, endlessly running but getting nowhere? With the frantic pace of change in our digital world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Technologies like artificial intelligence and automation are accelerating progress faster than we can keep pace.
Homeschooling has become a new way of life for many parents. Especially since the Covid 19 Pandemic when schools shut down in 2020. Parents realized they want more control over their children’s upbringing and education as they may not agree with the curriculum that is being taught. Homeschooling is a great alternative for parents who want to have more say in what their kids learn in school.
With the trendiness of online courses these days, a lot of people are probably wondering why? What makes an online course great and why would someone not just go to a junior college or university instead?
Through our interactions with course creators and users, we have been able to compile a list of practices that lead to one’s success or failure with online programs. Rather than bore you with a list of, “best practices to get the most out of your online course,” we prefer to address this using a process called inversion thinking.
Having a good mentor can make the difference between reaching your goals and failing. At The Life Edge, we are very grateful for the mentors that we have had throughout our journey. Some of these mentors were life-changing and we owe a lot of our success to them. Others, we outgrew sooner than anticipated.
For the last decade or more people have been infatuated with super powers. You see it everywhere in the media. From the rise of the Marvel Universe or its challenger DC, to “The Boys” on Amazon Prime. We enjoy seeing normal(ish) looking people accomplish extraordinary things.
Starting and growing the company The Life Edge has required significant investments. Investments of time, money and most importantly personal growth. We have had to learn new skills and become more intelligent, better people to overcome some of the challenges we have faced. There is no way we would be here today if we had not made the choice to invest in ourselves personally.
At one time or another we have all heard leaders say, “The best investment you can make is in yourself.”
Now, we do believe this to be true. However, over the years we have found that being a good leader requires sharing not just the “what” (investing in yourself), but also the “why” (the reason).
We live in a time where finding a mentor has never been more easy. Most people don’t realize that there are thousands of mentors just waiting to be their “experienced and trusted adviser.” We at The Life Edge have been blessed to have several mentors in several different areas of life. In this article we are going to share the simple steps you can use to find a mentor today.
