Splash: An Introvert's guide to being seen, heard and remembered goes global

April 12, 2010, MILTON - Released at the end of 2009, Splash, an introvert's guide to being seen, heard and remembered, has just been listed on Amazon UK (www.amazon.co.uk).

“We’ve gone international,” says Splash’s author, Carole Cameron. “Now folks across ‘the pond’ can dip their toe in and see if they’d like to take the plunge and learn how to excel as an introvert.”

Splash, is a book written to provide introverts a pathway to take control of their lives, learn new habits, and choose behaviours that move them toward their life goals. After only their second week, Splash grabbed The Globe and Mail's # 2 spot as best selling business book and has unwittingly become a resource for managers and top executives.

"As an introvert myself, I found that there was a lack of information in the business marketplace designed to help even the most successful introvert reach their personal and professional best," says Carole Cameron, who is also the Director of Creative Performance Solutions. "As a Human Resource Management, Training and Development, and Performance Consultant, I spent years researching this subject – writing this book makes the informative insights and tips that I've learned accessible to a wider audience."

Further enhancing Splash’s international credentials is the recently launched www.make-a-splash.ca. On this site there are answers to commonly asked questions that will challenge previously held perceptions and understanding of introverts. For instance, one question asks if there's a difference between being shy and being introverted.

There are also informative articles and personal success stories that will encourage introverts to implement new strategies and exercises that can lead to personal growth. And for the individual who is trying to communicate with introverts, it provides insights that help you to connect.

The lack of money is never about money

Thoughts, not money are the true capital

July 2, 2008, TORONTO -- Obtaining financial wealth starts by understanding that the concept of rags to riches is not just a dream, but merely a change in what you believe about money.

Most believe that the road to financial independence is to buy a home, pay off the mortgage, and then retire. Common knowledge seems to dictate that by not having a mortgage to pay during retirement, living in one's home will be affordable and virtually worry free. But what happens when taxes increase to the point that they're larger than the average mortgage payment? Or what happens if the cost-of-living, as evidenced by the recent surge in oil and produce costs, rises faster than a person's pension?

It's obvious, but what seemed to work for our parents and grandparents is doubtful to work for this generation. A change in beliefs about money is in order.

For instance, a home is commonly referred to as an asset, but what if something's only considered an asset where the revenue exceeds its expenses?

"People tend to think of financial planning in terms of retirement, but a good planner can help you pay for a home, a vacation, or whatever is important to you," says Sandi Gale, one of Toronto's leading independent money strategists . "Money should be fun."

Someone once said, "If wealth is the product of one's capacity to think: then thoughts, not money are the true capital."

"I studied the psychology of money five times before I got it. I looked into my own limiting beliefs around money and I realized that I had allowed the traumas in my life to limit my abilities to make money," explains Sandi. "A willingness to look at new things such as nontraditional philosophies, while not disregarding traditional methods can open up unlimited possibilities."

Believing that money is simply energy, Sandi has helped her clients learn to invoke various alternative and non-traditional learning models to un-block the flow of energy, increase prosperity in their lives and create an individual wealth identity.

"I had this friend who would focus on her debts all the time, and as a result was always in debt," tells Gale. "I finally convinced her to focus on saving, and to give me a plastic bag full of loonies and toonies every month to put in an account for her. While not financially independent yet, she's retired and still young with a whole new belief system about obtaining financial wealth. It doesn't have to be painful."
