Money Saving Tips

When we decide to change, we must change for the better or it will defeat the purpose of change.

I used to hate money! I hate it so much that I never hold on to them long enough to spend it for something more important. I hate it so much that I never try to save them. But I realized that we should love our hard-earned money because we spend time for it. Time that we will never be able to get back. We sacrificed a lot for it. We invested too much emotions for it. Have you ever think of that?

I didn't, until just recently, when someone invited me over to watch a presentation which opened my mind and made me realize that I'm not doing a good job taking care of something that I worked hard for. We work hard to earn money for our family and to live our dreams someday, don't we?

Blog changes = Life changes

I am so excited for these new updates in my blog.

As you've seen in one of my previous posts, I've been blogging for eight years. Imagine all the changes I've done?! Countless - some drastic and some are not.

So, now, I've done another huge update.

First, my domain name was changed from www.J-Thinks.com to my real name www.JONAVER.com.

I've been in a long break before I started blogging again and took some income assignments, here and there. But I realized I'm not, and will never be as active, as what I used to. Plus I forgot most of the blogging tricks I used to practice. So, I turn into finding someone who could guide me in maximizing my blog's purpose. Her first advise was to create a brand - something unique and will stand out. So, yes, I think my real name is nothing but a perfect brand for me.

Life is not a movie

The Top 10 Reasons People Hate Their Job

As per LinkedIn columnist, Ilya Pozin, founder of Pluto TV, here are the top 10 reasons employee’s full-time job may be hating their job:

10. They think the grass is greener someplace else. If your employee’s friends are having an amazing experience at another company, why wouldn’t they be envious? The transparency of employee benefits and perks at other companies can sometimes lead your employees to dream about working elsewhere. Give your employees something worth bragging about. They’ll be more motivated, eager to spread the good word, and you’ll benefit from an improved company culture.

9. Their values don’t align with the company. Dissatisfaction is bound to take place if your employees aren’t sold on the same things you are. If your company values creativity and collaboration, it’s in your best interest to make screening for these values a mandatory part of your hiring process. Regular feedback and reviews can help you stay in tune with employees’ values and how they align with what the company needs and values most.
