Have you started LIVING? Or are you still just existing?

Finding the Top Home Based Business

The top home based business for you does not necessarily mean the most profitable in terms of money, nor is it the job that offers the best prospects of advancement. The best business for you is simply the one that can propel you towards your own definition of success, whatever that definition may be.

Most people define success as having a lot of money, or having a lot of people look up to you. While these are valid criteria for success, they leave out too many other variables that make up human happiness. No one really wants to make money for money itself. After all, who wants to spend their lives just accumulating paper?

We run after money because it represents a whole lot of the other things that we want in life. Money helps us take care of our basic needs, such as food, clothing, and shelter. It also gives us the capacity to do things and go places that we otherwise could not have engaged in. In other words, money gives us possibility. If it can provide anything beyond that, however, is open to question.

When looking for the top home based business to engage in, how much you can earn from it is definitely an important consideration. But don’t neglect all the other aspects as well. For instance, will you be happy operating such a business? Would you able to really “sink your teeth” into it? If you take a person who was meant to be a teacher and place him in a job that denies him his dream, he will be unhappy, no matter how well he may be compensated in money. Similarly, take someone who absolutely wants nothing to do with children and place him in a classroom, and he will probably be miserable, whatever the size of his paycheck.

Before anything else then, take stock of your inclinations. The top home business for you is one that is in line with what you love. Such a business may not become the top moneymaker in the world, but in all likelihood it will succeed. After all, if you engage in the work that you love, it won’t be work at all. It will be a labor of love, and you will most likely find happiness in pursuing such an occupation. And, being happy with what you do, you will invariably end up doing an excellent job. This will be your key to greater financial rewards. Wouldn’t you rather have money and happiness both at the same time?

R I P Sean Taylor

R I P SEAN TAYLOR....

It isn't even about being born in Washington, DC or being a die hard Redskins fan by default. It isn't even about man's inhumanity toward man, or the total disregard for the preciousness of human life in our society today.

We all have varying beliefs and I respect them all. Is there an afterlife? Do our actions on this earth dictate how we spend eternity? Can't it just be enough to simply respect everyone's journey and the challenges and joys that we will each encounter along the way?

I recently read as part of one of my Success University courses that it isn't about what you're going THROUGH, it's about what you're going TO. Sure, it's sad that such a promising athlete's career will never be realized or that all those kids and adults that looked up to him will be denied the chance to watch it unfold. It's sad that the members of his team have been robbed a team mate, his mother denied a son, his girlfriend denied a partner.

It's about that little girl who slept in the bedroom down the hall while his life was being stolen from him. The little girl that was just barely old enough to utter the word 'Daddy.' What possibly could have been worth altering that child's future forever by snuffing out all hope of watching her daddy grow old while he watched her grow up?

You have GOT TO LIVE EVERY SINGLE DAY, like it is your last. Look up and thank your God this morning that he let you see another day...that he gave you another chance to make a difference in the world...in someone's life. Thank Him that you have another chance to realize your dreams or those of your families. Bless Him for giving you the chance to hug your mom one more time or laugh with your friends again before drawing your last breath.

Have you started living the rest of your life yet? Or are you living someone else's?

I Love to Quote My Mentors

...because if they weren't saying anything worth repeating, they really wouldn't be "mentors," would they?

Well, as part of my incredible Success University education, Mark Yarnell, an industry leader who’s made over 10 Million dollars has this to say about Network Marketing:

"...Next time some “Big Business” person questions network marketing – don’t hesitate to express pride in what you do. Networkers are champions in the last bastion of true capitalism!”

Now is the time to make your true commitment. It’s the time to draw that line in the sand and let nothing stop you from achieving your dreams...

If you don't take action now and get your business moving, you will be letting the best opportunity ever created slip through your fingers. Those of you who saddle up, lock arms with your upline mentors and go to work will be among the success stories you read about in the books. You'll be the ones who join us on tropical island vacations all over the world, the ones who create a financial legacy for your family that will last for generations, the ones who truly live the life that the rest of the working world only dreams about.

Those of you who make excuses and let past failures stop you will look back at yourself several years from now and wish you had for once in your life charged the hill and made something happen in your life. You'll wish you had made the commitment to yourself and your family and you'll let it eat away at you by knowing what your life could have been like.

Make your commitment. Get on fire and people will come from miles around just to watch you burn! Give people something to shoot for, look deep inside yourself and make your commitment to become the leader that will let nothing stand in your way!"

Let nothing stand in YOUR way -- for more information on all Success University has to offer, visit my home page or go directly to Success University now!!

Some Great Ideas for a Small Home Based Business Opportunity

You have a computer, you have the drive and dedication to see your small home based business opportunity succeed, all you now need is an idea. You might have spoken to friends and family, some of whom are in business for themselves as well, and they might have given you some ideas about what works for them, yet unfortunately you do not really seem to be able to get excited about the work they have found to do. Do not despair, because in order to find a suitable small home based business opportunity, you need to first figure out what it is that you really enjoy doing, and then try to match it up with opportunities that are out there.

For example, if you enjoy helping other people, have an affinity for seeing happy children, and want to help your local neighborhood schools succeed, then your business opportunity may very well be to work as a fundraising consultant. Whether you market coupon booklets of local merchants, cookie dough, pizza coupons, or candy bars, there are some companies out there that will help you get started and who will even provide you with leads. You will realize a strong profit margin, and you will have the contentment of knowing that you helped a school succeed. The goal is for you to contact local schools, and other charitable organizations, and offer to do their fundraising for them. If they sign on and order from you, you will realize the profit. If you want to, you can even use your time and creativity to really help kick off the fundraiser and make it a resounding success!

On the other hand, perhaps you like the idea of helping college students. You might even have a lot of contacts in the student community, either because you yourself are a student, or because your have college kids at home. If you have folks come and ask you for help with resumes, and job finding, why not turn your friendly help into a lucrative business? With a professionally done website, you can specialize in helping college students to find that entry level job they so diligently studied for. Have the satisfaction of helping others, while also getting something out of the deal. You will, of course, need to stay informed about industry trends and power-wording, but this can easily be accomplished by simply reading online publications that speak on the subject. Word of mouth advertising in addition to some well placed ads on the bulletin board at the local colleges will make sure that you get interested students to find you. What a great way to not only have a small home based business opportunity but to also be helping someone as they embark on their professional journey in life!

Great Reasons to Start a Business from Home


Working from home is a wonderful opportunity which many individuals take advantage of these days. Personal reasons and professional reasons are largely the way in which a business from home gets started. Whatever ones type of business might consist of, there are many great reasons to start a business from home.

Take Care of the Children While Working

It can arguably be said that one of the most often cited reasons to start a business from home is so that one or both parents can stay at home with the children while earning an income at the same time. Some individuals shy away from day care facilities, as they would like the best of both worlds by working and caring for their children at the same time. Many home-based businesses make this possible by allowing the parent to be in the house with their children and pay the bills as well.

Little or No Overhead Costs

An individual who works from home may also choose this business route as it allows them to expend little or no overhead on business expenses. Although many individuals will have to pay some extra costs associated with their business expenses, it is undoubtedly more economical to work from home than rent an office building and hired help elsewhere. Also, by starting a business from home, the business owner is already paying utility bills anyway so this too will reduce the overhead costs.

No Commute to Worry About

One will surely appreciate the fact that they have no commute which they have to deal with at the beginning and end of the workday. When one starts a business from home and has a home office they will not have to worry about commuting and dealing with all of the headaches and hassles that go along with such a thing like high gas prices, traffic and wear and tear on the automobile.

Time Efficient Alternative

If one chooses to start a business from home, they will also find that it is a time efficient alternative to the usual work environment. Not only will the individual save time on the work commute but they will also find that they can eat lunch at home which saves time by not having to venture out to find a meal during the day.

Can Work Around the Clock If One So Chooses

One last great reason to start a business from home is that it enables the business owner to work around the clock if they so desire. For example, should the business owner need to finish up some paperwork after dinner, all he/she will need to do is to walk over to their home office and take care of the issue. The 24-hour availability of the business from home provides convenience for the business owner.

Online Internet Businesses: Work at Home!

Would you like to work at home? Then start an online internet business!



If you want to earn some extra money, starting your own online internet business and working at home can be your ticket to greater financial rewards.

For millions of people, working at home is the ultimate dream. Countless individuals don’t find satisfaction or happiness in their jobs; many more do not receive the pay that they deserve. A lot of people have trouble adjusting to their bosses as well.

If you are one of the people who find it hard to adjust to the routine of everyday work, then you certainly must consider starting your own online internet business and working at home. Working at home will give you many advantages such as:

Having control of your time. Psychologists have long had a theory that revolves around an individual’s Locus of Control. This theory says that we are happy to the extent of the control that we can exert over a certain situation. This theory is particularly applicable to time management. When individuals have little control over their time, they are prone to unhappiness, even depression. Conversely, people who have complete control of their time are more likely to be happy. Having control of your time is basically having control of your life, because life is simply a measure if all the time you have.

When you are holding down a job, your time is not your own. You are renting out your time and energy to your employer, and he pays you for what he thinks you are worth. (Which, more often than not, is not much.) However, you can get out of this situation by starting your own online internet business and working at home.

Having no ceiling on your income. As an employee, there is a certain limit to what you can earn. More often than not, there are pay structures that your industry generally conforms to, and your rewards will mostly be limited to what your boss thinks you are worth. However, if you have your own online internet business and work at home, this simply is not the case. So long as you bring something of value to your customers, your prospects are virtually unlimited.

When you have your own online internet business and work at home, you will receive all that you earn, no more and no less. If you do poorly, it is completely your fault. But if it was completely your fault, then that means that you have the power to turn it around! Millions have been made through the internet, and each year more and more people are earning through its use. You can be the next internet millionaire – as long as you are willing to put the work in.

Do You Have What It Takes To Work From Home With An Internet Business?

You have heard it said that there is money to be made on the Internet, and indeed, there are people who are making a lot of money using the ‘Net. Yet did you also know that there are a lot of frauds out there who will promise you the blue off the sky in return for some of your hard-earned cash? Similarly, do you have all the tools you need to do your work? Read on and find out if you have what it takes to work from home with an Internet business.

Have you done your research?

There are so many great looking Internet business opportunities that it may seem like an easy task to pick one or another. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of scam artists out there who will want your money and will not be able to help you work from home after all. Do your research on any Internet business diligently! For example, look to see if the website will tell you the details of the business. If it is vague, or promises you that all you need to do is get people to watch a clip or download a free e-book, the odds are good that this is not a lucrative business. Similarly, if the entire website is nothing but a gigantic ad for the e-book the webmaster has written, you are not actually going to start an Internet business, but simply buy a book. So do your research, and you will soon be able to weed out the wheat from the chaff.

Do you have the tools?

Let’s say that your Internet business will be web design. Designing web pages is not a very difficult feat, but it does require some specialized software and enough memory to ensure that your computer will not slow down if you are uploading large graphics or files. Is your equipment new enough that it could handle this kind of business? Do you have the software you need to get started? Before you start advertising your new work from home Internet business, make sure that you have all your ducks in a row, so that you will not have to turn away any business!

Do you have a reliable Internet setup?

Granted, dial-up is more and more going by the wayside, but if you still do rely on a dial-up connection, you need to be honest with yourself and assess if you are truly able to rely on the connection. Does it work quickly and efficiently, or does downloading take long periods of time? Do you lose your connection frequently, or is it pretty solid? If you do not think you have a reliable Internet connection, you might need to consider upgrading your system.

So go ahead and take stock in what you have, and see if you are ready to work from home with your very own Internet business!

How to Make Your Home Business Successful Through a Connection with another Business

Is it really possible to make your home business successful simply through a connection with another business? Indeed, the answer is a resounding “yes!” Granted, skeptics are quick to point out that it is unwise to send your customers or even only potential customers someplace else, but consider all the benefits!

For example, if you are running a home business that specializes in designing and creating outfits for dogs, why not make the connection with your local veterinarian? If you already own a dog and assuming you and your vet have a good relationship, she or he will most likely not mind having some of your business cards and maybe even a photo of your dog in a spiffy outfit displayed on the office bulletin board. This connection might net you some customers, since anyone who visits the vet’s office is usually kept waiting long enough to peruse some of the ads on the board. From there, why not branch out and make the connection with your local animal shelter? Maybe you adopted your own dog from there, and you could offer a free doggie garment – of a non expensive variety, of course – for anyone who adopts a pooch from there. This will get your name out, but it will also be undoubtedly good for some repeat business! Yet another connection could be made with your dog’s groomer. After all, she or he is in business to make dogs looks and feel good, and so are you! As you can see, your home business can become a resounding success simply by making a connection here and there.

Another example is that of the home business that does notary work. Notaries are in constant demand, since many business transactions have to be notarized. Sure, banks, law offices, and even some medical offices might have their own notaries, but what if someone gets sick? What if a transaction did not originate in a local office, but instead took place via the Internet? Getting the name of your home business out there is the connection you will need to make in order to be called in when there is a need! For example, think of a way that your notary business is different from the way the notary at the local law office does business. Odds are, the law office’s notary is also a legal secretary, paralegal, or relief receptionist, and having her or him leave the office is next to impossible. You, on the other hand, are free to travel to a signing, a client’s business, or even the courthouse. Make sure that you talk to the lawyer and the human resources manager at the local law firm and make that connection. After all, a home business connection is worth money!
