			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are several tips for creating a wonderful hanging basket or container this summer.  The first is to use an artificial soil composed mostly of peat moss.  Good soils such as Fafard or Pro-Mix use perlite, peat, and other ingredients to produce a soil that will not compact over the summer.  Real garden soil compacts and turns into concrete under the pressure of regular watering.  And when it does, plant roots stop growing because they require good open spaces to move into and absorb nutrients.  Hard, compacted soils do not grow good plants so do not use real soil in your containers.  I re-use my artificial potting soil from year to year.  I dump it out of the pot. Chew it up with a shovel to cut up all last year’s roots and add approximately 10 % by volume of compost. The compost increases air spaces and gives plants a boost in healthy nutrition.<br />
<span id="more-29"></span><br />
Feed your plants weekly.  Nitrogen, the engine of plant growth, is water soluble and as you water your containers from the top the dissolved nitrogen is leaving from the bottom.   I use a fish-emulsion liquid feed with seaweed to provide all the trace nutrients my plants require and recommend it highly.  You can use any liquid plant food (like Miracle Grow or Shultz) to promote growth.  Compost tea is the Cadillac of liquid plant food and if you make your own compost tea, your plants will respond with bigger and better blooms as well as increased vigour.  </p>
<p>And finally, no matter the size of the container, it is important to soak it all the way to the bottom at each watering.  Continue watering until water emerges from the pot bottom.  This ensures the roots can reach all parts of the container and grow properly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Star is Made: Where does talent really come from?</p>
<p>Reviewing a new 900 page academic book The Cambridge Handbook of Expertise and Expert Performance that will be published this month, Freakonomics authors report some very interesting findings.</p>
<p>(I highly recommend you read this piece if you have an interest in finding out how a star is made in any discipline.)</p>
<p>Here are three conclusions from this massive work:<br />
<span id="more-23"></span><br />
1. The trait we call talent is highly overrated.</p>
<p>That is, expert performers &#8211; whether in memory or surgery, ballet or computer programming &#8211; are nearly always made, not born. And yes,</p>
<p>2. Practice does make perfect. And last, my personal favorite:</p>
<p>3. When it comes to choosing a life path, you should do what you love &#8211; because if you don&#8217;t love it, you are unlikely to work hard enough to get very good.</p>
<p>They add, &#8220;Most people naturally don&#8217;t like to do things they aren&#8217;t &#8216;good&#8217; at. So they often give up, telling themselves they simply don&#8217;t possess the talent for math or skiing or the violin.&#8221;</p>
<p>But the truth is this:</p>
<p>&#8220;What they really lack is the desire to be good and to undertake the deliberate practice that would make them better.</p>
<p>Joseph Campbell was right when he told his students, &#8220;Follow your bliss.&#8221;</p>
<p>And yes, especially in your work. If you don&#8217;t love your product for example, chances are you won&#8217;t do the deliberate practice it takes to learn how to talk about it so that you get good at it.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t love SOMETHING about your network marketing business enough to spend the time to learn to do it well, your chances of succeeding are slim to none.</p>
<p>So ask yourself, what do you LOVE MADLY about what you&#8217;re doing? Is it making a difference in someone&#8217;s life? Is it what the income can buy?</p>
<p>Whatever turns you on, will keep you going.</p>
<p>And if it&#8217;s nothing special, perhaps this business really isn&#8217;t the best thing for you to be doing. Why NOT love what you do? People can tell if you don&#8217;t.</p>
<p>One thing&#8217;s for sure in our business: The promise of income is NOT enough. Not for the 95% who drop out, that is.</p>
<p>So what else is there that you love enough or are challenged by enough, to keep you practicing deliberately and systematically, like everyone has ever done who excels in something?</p>
