Getting up is tough after you take a fall in your business. Some unexpected event that throws you off track can easily keep you off track unless you get right back up. Even the most optimistic of us loses faith, energy, and interest. It happens to the best of us. It's just like a boxing match: if you go down longer than the count of ten, you're out. So the best you can do is to get up quickly! Never give up. When giving up is not a choice, then you do things differently. You... more...

No really ... I'm serious! Is anyone else tired of all the "Gurus" and their "Make Big Money Fast" ebooks that run anywhere from $49 to $197 for a bunch of rehashed or should I say regurgitated garbage? I'm not saying that it's not possible to make money online. I am saying that the Gurus are using the desire that people have to work for themselves and achieve their financial goals by selling them one piece of crap ebook after another -- all with the same Bi... more...

Entrepreneurs definitely dont have a monopoly on how to earn cash fast. The dreams of turning small money into a vast financial empire have always existed in one form or another. The global economy and the Internet have created a new genre of entrepreneurs. However, the stock market has always had its own entrepreneurs. The stock market is also full of individuals wanting to experience large returns from a great idea or investment. Entrepreneurs definitely know how to dream up an idea an... more...

Have you ever wondered why some people succeed and others fail? Maybe you're discouraged that your colleague's phone is ringing off the hook and your phone hasn't rung in weeks (or months). Believe me; I know what it's like to be there. For years, I used to look all around me and see abundant success for others... and wonder if it was ever going to happen for me. Deep down inside, my Divine Self, knew the answer was a resounding, "YES!". But, on the surface, so... more...

If you're a small business owner or entrepreneur, one of your biggest obstacles is probably finding enough time. Lucky for you, everybody gets the same amount! So all you have to do is figure out how highly productive people use time management and you're home free. Here's what I learned from the extremely successful entrepreneurs I've had the privilege of working with. 1) Create windows of time. If you're an entrepreneur, you have a lot to do.

The results are in and those living the American dream of owning their own business have at long last inspired those not yet doing so to also become interested in taking the plunge. Perhaps it is the flexibility of setting your own hours and spending critical time with your children and family or maybe it is the sense of being in control over your own destiny that makes you would be entrepreneurial material. Those who have already taken the process of considering the pros and cons of bec... more...

I was recently listening to a podcast by Todd Bockman, the Millionaire Coach, on Attitudes for Success. He was telling a story about how he encountered some people on a forum who were whining about their down-trodden luck and offered to help them "for free" to get them on the right track. Thinking he was doing a good deed, Todd was shocked to find that not only did they turn him down but they began to clobber him and suggest he was just trying to sell them something. Wow! This is ... more...

What motivates people to hire you? The answer can be summed up in one simple word. Connection. Why? Because connection is rooted in emotion, and we all make our buying decisions based on emotions. Most women entrepreneurs mistakenly focus on explaining how they deliver their services. If you've been reading this Ezine for a while, then you know that our potential clients don't care about service details. What they DO care about is: *Can they trust you? *Do yo... more...

No matter what aspect of your life you are talking about, goal setting is a crucial factor. Of course it's especially important if you want to be a successful home business owner. Each step you make as an entrepreneur will affect the direction your business is going and goals help lead you in the right direction. You should also set goals because they can help you to make the right decisions as you go through the trials and obstacles all home business owners face. By investing the... more...

You're getting pulled in two different directions. As the owner of a start-up business into which you've probably put a bunch of your own (or the bank's) money, you're in a battle from minute one to get the business cash flowing so it can survive. As you fight to stay in the black (or minimize how far into the red you go), you'll be looking every day at two aspects of your business: your costs and your revenues (sales). I know one of the most exciting things for ... more...

One of the measures used by all businesses and investors is the length of time it will take a fledgling business to break even from its original investment. The daily break even point for most businesses is viewed on a daily basis, considering the amount of income generated against the cost of doing business for that day. However, for long term planning it will be necessary to forecast projected earnings against anticipated expenses to determine when it is the business will start realizi... more...

Do you dream of being the CEO of a Fortune 500 company? And the Fortune 500 Company is your own? Have you wanted to buy that new home you've dreamed of for so many years? Exactly what is your idea of success? Success is having achieved that which you determine you will do. If you have not decided what you will do and what your life will be then someone will decide for you. It is up to you to determine what your success will be. It is not dependent upon materialistic measurements... more...

We spend our lives preparing for a potential disaster, all the while not living life to the full. When a crisis strikes, what do you then do? Either you can let the crisis run, hold onto your position, trying not to change, or you could use the event as an opportunity to change into a direction that supports future outcomes. In the internal world of a human being, we resist change, mainly because we fought so hard to maintain our current position in the first place. Then life come... more...

The idea of hiring a Virtual Assistant in some parts of the world, particularly in the United States, is an everyday fact.

Being a virtual assistant can be a very rewarding and lucrative career. However, finding clients who are interested in partnering with a virtual assistant and that are a good fit for your particular business can sometimes be a challenge. Depending on how you promote yourself, you may be sending out the wrong message as to the skills and abilities that you offer. Instead of listing many areas of expertise or services that you offer, it might be in your best interest to focus instead on... more...
