Working from home is a great way to gain personal time freedom. It also presents lucrative tax savings, earning potential and if you build it right, passive income for life. Here's a question for you: Are you really running a business or are your playing at a business and treating it more like a hobby. To decide which is which, ask yourself a few questions: 1. Do I have a plan? Yes I mean a real business plan, one that includes marketing, promotion, sales, com... more...

As a Law of Attraction coach, I encounter many people with negative, limiting ideas about wealth, almost as if money were something to be ashamed of! But what does money really represent in this world, except the freedom to live the life we desire and help others do the same? To love money is to love freedom. To resent money is to resent freedom. And since freedom is a natural desire of all men and women, anyone who doesn't love and appreciate it is completely out of the "flow&q... more...

"How did it get to this point? Why am I working, working, working with my head down in my business and feeling as though I don't have a moment to think ahead?"

You may have left a J.O.B. and now you are feeling as though you are once again at a J.O.B. with your worst boss ever...YOU! G... more...

Managing a change in an organization is a very huge task that involves changing the organizational culture. An international business case study on factors that limit organizational change and how to manage it shows that companies growing and expanding into a new competitive space, expanding market scope and attaining a complex combination of knowledge and material assets sometimes fail to change and make the best out of new opportunities because they are still trying to get the best out of the... more...

Whether it is a business lead, insurance lead, life insurance leads, mlm leads, market leads, or a mortgage leads the same principles apply to lead generation.

Does your attitude stink? The following is a check up from the neck up. 1. On a scale of 1 - 10, how would you rate your attitude and your life, overall, right now?

"Never fear the want of business. A man who qualifies himself well for his calling, never fails of employment." Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826) I know you.

In times of desperation you've even dramatically lowered your price and STILL you did not get your fair share of the ma... more...

Many marketers are weighed down by natural human instinct when it comes to contacting prospects. The impeding disorder of which I speak is fear. It's a handicap to any entrepreneur independent of industry or product. Fear must be overcome if great success is to be achieved. The greatest leaders in the history of the world are those who learned to overcome their fears. In the American Civil War I can imagine the inexperienced soldiers milling about in confusion, paralyzed by their... more...

Fred: The holiday season is here and everyone is thinking about shopping for presents, getting the house decorated and helping those less fortunate. Why is it that some of us only give back this time of year? Lyna: As I listen to the old Christmas songs that are played year after year; a phrase is sung that gets my attention: "It's my favorite time of year- the time we spread good cheer". Why is there a specific "time " of year that our consciousness is raised t... more...

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, spoke often of how important it was to be financially free in this generation. Many of us have chosen to deny our fates and to choose a life full of success, by choosing financial freedom over financial security. While most know that on this journey, we have all learned that success is not a destination it is a journey. By mastering the keys to be financially free, one knows that it is very important to know how to create residual income, or passive... more...
