We cannot do anything to increase the hours in a day. Time management? Who can accomplish that? Time just keeps on keeping on throughout each day. We have control only of what we do during our 24/7 each week. Being fully engaged is essential when we are working to make wise choices in using our mental, emotional and physical energy for optimal productivity. Making the most of our brainpower keeps us thinking clearly and creatively. That is what makes the difference in how pro... more...

When you read the title of this article, what do you think about? What pictures come to mind? Did you imagine a bright red circle you'd use to teach a child about shapes? Perhaps you thought of a basketball hoop, or ball? Maybe you thought of a medicine wheel, or a full moon? Some of you probably thought about Conscious Business Circle(if you're a member). If you've ever participated in an in-person Circle experience, then (like me) you probably thought about a circle ... more...

Moving supplies, a packing plan and supply list can help reduce stress and allow you to have more control over the situation. Even if you only have a month until the move, creating a plan and using it throughout the move will keep items from being damaged, items from becoming missing or lost, and will allow you to pack the moving truck easily for a safe move. If you plan on packing yourself, it is a good idea to buy cardboard boxes, over sized trash bags, packing tape, zip ties, bubble... more...

Regardless of whether you work from home or not, working long hours is not productive or emotionally fulfilling after awhile. Even though you may be extremely busy, working ten or twelve hours may not help you catch up since there will always be more work for you to accomplish. Learning how not to be a workaholic takes time and discipline but with a little practice, you will be able to find a balance between your work and your life. If people are always commenting on the amount of time y... more...

You have to spend time thinking and planning. This requires learning how to think. It requires learning how to plan. The more you research, think and plan, the easier it will be for you to execute your plan. This is quite important and another problem area I have noticed between those who succeed and those who don't. Successful people plan and think. They are always thinking. Unsuccessful marketers look for the easy street. Successful marketers think of their plans while... more...

This is an important part of achievement and success. Most internet marketers I have run across, who are not a success, fall into this problem as well. They do not have control of their own lives or the direction it is going. Instead, they are reactive. Everyone has a choice to be pro-active or reactive. If you allow your bills, frustrations, friends, co-workers and bosses to decide the direction of your life, you will find it very difficult to succeed. On the other hand, if ... more...

Coaching, or paid professional mentoring, is replacing some of the traditional mentoring relationships of the past. It is one solution to the problem of helping overwhelmed and overstressed business people cope with the complexities of their turbulent and unstable business and personal environments. In a turbulent workplace environment, a traditional mentoring relationship is increasingly unrealistic. Traditional mentors usually focus on helping a protege achieve success in a specific c... more...

You're ready to outsource. You're a busy person who values your time. You've placed a price on your time, made a budget, and you're ready to outsource some work to buy a some time for yourself. But now what? You can see the benefits; you've made the decision. How do you find someone you trust to work for you, at a price that you're willing to pay? The easiest place to begin your search for your perfect virtual assistant is, of course, online. There are severa... more...

Companies have long been utilizing their money to gain more time. Companies outsource activities that are not their forte or focus, in order to spend time and concentrate on doing what they have the most expertise in. It's time for you to jump on the outsourcing bandwagon; it's not just for companies anymore. You can now stop wishing and instead start living the vision of spending your time on what you love. When you work you trade your time for money. Through outsourcing you can utili... more...

The first thing to do is to think about the types of things you might like to outsource. Whether it is internet research, bill paying, online shopping, sending emails or snail mail, or even making telephone calls, your virtual personal assistant will be able to do anything that you can do remotely. Now imagine yourself in that position. You have someone on top of all those tasks. All it takes is one quick email from you in the morning, and by the following morning, you have a list of comp... more...

The reality is everyone subconsciously sets goals throughout their day. There are always occasions where something has to be done at a particular time or place. Simple examples could be getting up at a certain time in order to be at work, or to meet with a friend for a leisure activity. The main hurdle that most people face is the incorrect assumption that goals are only for business or sales-minded people. Probably the hardest part of setting goals is the first ste... more...

Have you ever wished you had more time to do the things you really love? Do you want to stop doing the things in your life that consume all your time, and be more productive with your time? Wish you had your own personal assistant to handle the details of life? You know that you can buy possessions, houses, and things. Well, now you can buy your time as well!Big business already does this on a daily basis, and you can too. You can live the life of your dreams, and it's all through the power... more...

The hectic decision making and one's job performance can cause enormous stress in one's life. Some days one may have little or no chance to complete one single sentence with a coworker. Breaks and lunch are about the only times one may have to social interact. Time away from the job pressures can give one a whole new outlook on the stressful problem. Often the workplace may schedule one's breaks between morning and afternoon. This is been known to be good practice in relie... more...

Many feel they are comfortable with the life and job they currently have. However, when you consider the benefits you can have by changing from your current job to a life of a home based business owner you may join the many that are considering this option today. Depending on how focused you work you could complete a weeks worth of work in just two days and have the rest of the week to spend with family or doing your favorite hobby. In addition, home based businesses are very mobile s... more...

If you want to initiate change in your life, start small. This has long been been my personal philosophy, but one I found I had to defend when applying it to business. In business, people tend to want to think big, project big, a big logo - they present themselves big to imply that great results will follow. I took comfort in the Chinesse philosopher, Lao Tze's wisdom: "If you want to be fast, go slow" and it all fell into place, as his solid explanation justified my approach. more...

The first time I heard about the term work-life balance I was surprised that anybody even thought of balancing the two. Wasn't that like counting apples and oranges? Still, the idea was quite exciting and I thought I'd explore it a bit more: I thought long and hard about what kind of working hours I wanted to have, what kind of office, how many people. By means of visualization all of that became a clear image that I was drawn to. Interestingly enough my enjoyment of the visions... more...

There are two key words that lead to success in life. These words control the successful outcome of your business, marriage, and many other areas of life. Although you may have incredible talent and skill in life, you will fail if you do not master these two words- and vice versa. Even if you have only limited talent and skill, you will win if you live by them. These two words determine your future. They are attitude and expectation. If you have a positive, forward-looking attitude,... more...

We all know how important it is to work hard to get your home business up and running and off the ground. We also know that when your home business is located right in your home, it is all too easy to get a few extra hours of work in after you eat dinner, or to get up early to work a little bit more in the morning. However, the fact remains that most of the people who are working at home businesses have decided to do this so that they can control what hours they work, and so that they ca... more...

Anyone who runs a home business wants it to be successful. It's a way to reach your dreams, whether they be to simply earn enough to pay your bills or to change your entire lifestyle. It can be a lot of pressure. But that pressure can be both a good thing and a bad thing. You can read plenty of stories about people who succeeded beyond their wildest dreams because they had to succeed. And it's certainly true that needing to succeed can provide that drive that will eventually mak... more...

Many people have often thought that in order to run a home business you need to have gone to college or have a college degree. Well, this is something that can not easily be solved with a simple yes or no answer, because like everything it depends on the circumstances. First of all, going to college can do wonders for getting a regular job. Many employers look at what you did in college as a way to judge whether you are right for the job or not and many employers will pick someone who has go... more...
